On Wednesday, Donald Trump made a pointed statement on Truth Social directed towards Nikki Haley’s donors, writing, “Anybody that makes a ‘contribution’ to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp,” and less than 24-hours later, Haley flipped the attack into a campaign merchandise opportunity.

    i use the term ‘hold their nose’ for this reason. i do not have as much hope in the critical-thinking arena of the general conservative population as you do. …only by judging by their actual actions the last few cycles.

      I don’t think its as much “nose holding” as “spite voting”. Conservatives are prickly and a number of them have been caught in embarrassing or damaging situations because of trump. Roe vs Wade overturn is a big one, for instance.

      I don’t think you seem to be aware of their actual actions as much as you have misconceptions about the actual statistics.

      Do you honestly think 100% of them voted for Trump, even the first time around, before he showed his true colors? You got facts to back that up, or just circle-jerking beliefs based on your feelings?

          Show me some evidence. Don’t just say it like Trump says his election was stolen. Quit acting like a fascist.

              Yeah, when someone makes a claim like all repubs vote for a fascist, they should back it the fuck up. Unless that says-whatever-he-wants asshole is your role model or something.

              Except you know you’re just spewing bullshit like this is all a game, and not something that will result in actual, real life bloodshed and a worsening of all our lives, and maybe even the loss of our freedom to some militaristic, idiot-run future.
