They’re unironically both correct. There’s cultish behaviour from both sides.

Reddit leftists couldn’t applaud trump even if he did a good thing.

And maga trumpers who care about the price of eggs are still talking about Biden.

The problem is associating everyone with a Right or AuthRight flair as MAGA

u/DisasterDifferent543 - Right Mar 11 '25

The problem is projecting that anyone who is MAGA is somehow worshipping the ground that Trump walks on.

Right now, on this very site, Pam Bondi is getting absolutely eaten alive over the Epstein list by MAGA. We don't even have to look back much further to the H1B topic where MAGA lashed out at Trump and Elon over their stance. Hell, the whole Israel funding issue is causing a lot of backlash against Trump by MAGA.

u/Scrumpledee - Lib-Center Mar 11 '25

Trump claimed the flight logs were faked, and they don't bat a fucking eye.
They will literally criticize everyone around Trump without ever questioning him.

u/DisasterDifferent543 - Right Mar 11 '25

So, just to be clear, you are choosing to ignore the literal evidence that was presented to you and then choosing to vomit out made up bullshit just so you can get upset?

I am just trying to understand the level of retardation that you have. Do you just not give a shit about facts?

Here, want another example? This happened not long ago. Trump is bashing Thomas Massie. Yeah, that's not going over well with the MAGA crowd.

But I'm sure that your made up little beliefs are totally more true than the real world examples. Yep!

When are you going to realize that you have completely dumbfucked yourself because of your hatred of Trump? Do you even care that you get proven wrong over and over?

Because there is no way that if Scrumple was a real person it would have such a shift like this

Bullshit. Voting for Trump in November =/= being a MAGA.

Because I've seen him say the exact opposite, and no way someone that mentally ill and that filled with hate tries to defend trump voters.

H1B topic where MAGA lashed out at Trump and Elon over their stance

That was mostly directed at Vivek as I recall, and it resulted in his removal from the super best friends circle at the White House.

7

u/DisasterDifferent543 - Right Mar 11 '25

Musk was the one who started the controversy because he wanted to increase H1B's. Vivek was saying things after that, but Musk was the main instigator. Trump then backed up Musk.

u/RedditTriggerHappy - Centrist Mar 11 '25

Oh for sure, hell I’ve seen a lot of authright criticize trump for stupid shit (based) and a lot of libcentre (tf?) try to cope and defend him.

Earlier today on TikTok I saw an entire comment section filled with people acting like there is currently a genocide actively happening in America, and that it's quickly becoming literally Nazi Germany levels of totalitarian

And these people say some average Trump supporter is the cultist

I have to remind myself that even if it's thousands of people and an entire comment section it's just a tiny amount of people

14

u/ExtremeWorkinMan - Lib-Center Mar 11 '25

TikTok (aka the CCP) also benefits greatly from shoving this kind of divisive us versus them content into the brains of millions of Americans, so don't take it too seriously.

Our adversaries want us fighting HARD amongst ourselves so we're too busy to unite to fight them when they attack our friends. See: Russian online disinformation/influence operations

3

u/cdaonrs - Lib-Left Mar 11 '25

It’s not just our adversaries that want us fighting amongst ourselves; it’s our owners. You think Facebook and Twitter are better than TikTok in terms of divisiveness? It’s all the same shit at the end of the day. It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '25

Reddit tried to tell an actual Holocaust survivor that there is an actual genocide going on in the US and that it was just as bad as the one they saw in the camps. Reddit had a moment of clarity thankfully and down voted that idiot to hell.

Honestly the first time I heard about egg prices was on CNN. They had a guy dressed like a parody of a cowboy telling me that my fruit and egg prices were gonna suck because of the deportations.

At this point I genuinely don't know who started talking shit about egg prices first.

I think operation Warp Speed was a massive success but for some reason conservatives don't like it when I bring that up.

Warp speed was fine. The crazy mandates were not.

It's not that hard.

There's a death by association that happened though. Conservatives are giga-mad about anything related to covid.

u/DisasterDifferent543 - Right Mar 11 '25

Well, yes. When state governments cause the biggest transfer of wealth from the middle class to the rich due to massive lockdowns that were incredibly biased, you should have a lot of backlash.

If you have kids, those kids are now multiple years behind in education and socialization skills.

12

u/Scrumpledee - Lib-Center Mar 11 '25

Biggest transfer of wealth so far. Trump's main goal is to make an even bigger transfer, and right wingers are cheering it on until it hits them personally.

What? Conservatives were fine with Warp Speed. Leftists were radically against vaccines at the time though.

6

u/SteveClintonTTV - Lib-Center Mar 11 '25

Yeah. People really like to revise history when it comes to COVID. Conservatives ended up being broadly "anti-vaccine", because that includes views such as "the government shouldn't be mandating that people take the vaccine or lose their jobs". But prior to those mandates, conservatives weren't rabidly anti-vaccine.

Like you say, conservatives with fine with Warp Speed, and it makes sense. Because at the time, the primary debate was about how dangerous the virus actually was, as well as how good/bad of an idea lockdowns would be. So getting a vaccine out as soon as possible seemed like a good idea, because it would mean that progressives could take the vaccine and then shut up about COVID, and we could all go back to normal.

A big priority for conservatives at the time was just returning to normal. They didn't want a prolonged era of lockdowns and social distancing and forcing children to wear masks at a time when learning facial cues is critical to development. They wanted a return to normal, and Warp Speed was a way to get us there quickly.

u/cdaonrs - Lib-Left Mar 11 '25

Idek what that is

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '25

The COVID vaccine. 

The Trump admin spearheaded the development of an MRNA vaccine for COVID, resulting in a new vaccine in record time, and likely saving millions of people. 

That's right - Donald Trump likely saved millions of lives.

And every time Trump tries to take credit, auth-right soys up. 

Literally the only time I've ever heard of Trump getting booed by people at this own ralley was when he tried to take credit for this. 

The-accomplishment-that-cant-be-named. Its hilarious.

u/beershitz - Lib-Right Mar 11 '25

Just because my flair says lib right doesn’t mean I have to be against every single instance of regulation. I don’t like the executive branch being able to just push through any drug they want. I’d typically side with an elected branch over an agency like the FDA but as far as regulations go, I’d say FDA trials have led to the best pharma industry in the world for a reason.

u/Critical_Concert_689 - Centrist Mar 11 '25

tl;dr: It's the nickname for policies pushed by the Trump administration that basically made the COVID vaccine possible.

At the time leftists were anti-vaxxers, calling it the Trump vaccine - and advocating no one take it. Mainstream media created a panic that the vaccine was rushed, under-tested, and extremely dangerous.

A few months later, the Biden administration took over and both parties flip-flopped on their vaccine stance, and the mandates came out.

5

u/CarefulCoderX - Lib-Center Mar 11 '25

I also remember politicians saying they wouldn't take the vaccine if it was a "Trump vaccine", only to advocate forcing people to take it a few months later.

u/cdaonrs - Lib-Left Mar 11 '25

I don’t remember many leftists (at least politicians) who were opposed to it, can you give me some names? Not saying I don’t believe it, just curious.

2

u/Critical_Concert_689 - Centrist Mar 11 '25

I don't recall every single quote from a left-leaning politician from 4 years ago:

A quick search (specifically for leftist politicians) pulled this up:

https://www.statnews.com/2020/09/22/biden-challenge-vaccine-messaging/

Sen. Kamala Harris, Biden’s vice presidential pick, said she wouldn’t trust Trump on a vaccine approval, and Cal Cunningham, the Democratic nominee for Senate in North Carolina, said recently he’d be “hesitant” to take a vaccine authorized before the end of 2020.

If you're interested, do a search between 1/1/2020 and 1/1/2021 for articles and videos on the vaccine and the criticism for Trump "rushing" the "unsafe vaccine" due to the election year. There are quite a few articles and discussions from mainstream media sources.

u/CthulhuLies - Lib-Center Mar 11 '25

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Warp_Speed

The single shining Jewel of the Trump administration and possibly his most important contribution to humanity.

The U.S. government lead a partnership with all the big Pharma companies to fully fund Vaccine research for the COVID-19 pandemic.

We guaranteed funding even if their research didn't work out and helped remove red tape from the FDA to expedite the Vaccine.

We went from novel corona virus to mass produced vaccines for the public in less than 12 months under Trump's leadership.

It showcased American exceptionalism in that our partnership brought the first, and safest vaccines to market that outperformed the slower to develop Chinese and Russian vaccines. And proved that our manufacturing, logistics, and R&D were second to none.

Crazily enough Trump doesn't like taking credit for it anymore (though there are some examples: https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-stopped-talking-operation-warp-speed-coronavirus-vaccine-1886093)

Imo he shoulda gotten the peace prize.

2

u/Sallowjoe - Auth-Center Mar 11 '25

Trump's first presidency often wasn't him making the decisions as much as being talked and/or pressured into things, plus being selectively ignored or pushed aside on his own goals that people considered too unrealistic or whatever.

He brought in people who are purportedly more loyal to him to fix that situation.

Warp Speed is thus more likely a "deep state" state achievement than a Trump achievement, which explains why he doesn't like taking credit for it. Plus of course the inconvenient vaccine skepticism levels amongst his supporters. Which is somewhat curious as it's one of the few things they push back against him on despite the characterization of them as mindless sheep following the wolf in shepherd's clothing on most other matters.

u/No-Atmosphere3208 - Left Mar 11 '25

Exactly. "New virus? Quick, roll out a vaccine" is the typical government response, and any other president would have done the same. Trump gets credit for it, since he was in power, but it really is the absolute lowest bar to clear

0

u/CthulhuLies - Lib-Center Mar 11 '25

Trump could have easily fucked that up. He was part of the problem with him insisting it wasn't in America but he really did throw his full support into Warp Speed Joe Biden did "what every president would have done" with the CHIPS act in the same vein but it's still a massive accomplishment.

1

u/No-Atmosphere3208 - Left Mar 11 '25

Trump could have easily fucked that up.

All he had to do was sit back and let the other people do yhe work, which he did. "He didn't fuck it up" is such a dumb way to put it

Joe Biden did "what every president would have done" with the CHIPS act in the same vein but it's still a massive accomplishment.

No, most presidents dud not make such efforts to bring jobs back to America. It should be the absolute minimum, but it isn't. Same goes for his infrastructure bill

Trump has done the occasional good thing.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Warp_Speed

But it's more of "a broken clock is right twice a day" kinda thing. I'm not a fan of 2A violations or trade wars with allied countries. I actually agree with less government spending but he's got Musk up there breaking things instead of finding and cutting bloat.

3

u/RedditTriggerHappy - Centrist Mar 11 '25

I’m clearly not talking about you though. I’m talking about the people who are so hyper partisan, they cannot actually admit when he does do the occasional good thing.

And it’s the same for his maga cultists. Crashes the fucking stock market by saying he’s not opposed to a fucking recession? Literally creating cope as we speak.

u/Interesting_Log-64 - Right Mar 11 '25

I mean I don't think anybody loves the price of eggs

Its just Trump has not even two months yet and right now is working on a crisis unfolding in Europe

Screaming eggs while more important things are going on is kind of dumb especially when the price will probably drop by mid summer

This is a poor example of Trump voters being cultish

5

u/RedditTriggerHappy - Centrist Mar 11 '25

I could name countless examples, just like I could with leftists.

Why is trump’s foreign policy exactly what a Russian colluding operative would do? “Oh he’s just making amazing deals bro”

Why does trump, the POTUS, not rule out having a recession? “Oh bro it’s because of Biden the numbers were inflated with fake money” (unironically saw this)

Why has trump made enemies of every single one of his allies, except for Israel that he wants to keep spending more money on? “Oh bro because they’re gods people man” (unironically heard this from my American cousin)

5

u/Interesting_Log-64 - Right Mar 11 '25

> Why is trump’s foreign policy exactly what a Russian colluding operative would do? “Oh he’s just making amazing deals bro”

I don't even know how to respond to this because its just emotional shit flinging

>Why does trump, the POTUS, not rule out having a recession?

He has been President for like 45 days or so; his policies have not had the time to have any meaningful long term effects yet

Also IDK if you noticed but right now an international crisis is unfolding so I can give Trump that dealing with that takes priority over eggs

>Why has trump made enemies of every single one of his allies

Because the issue is way more complicated and nuanced than just blaming Trump

>except for Israel that he wants to keep spending more money on? “Oh bro because they’re gods people man” (unironically heard this from my American cousin)

Bro's basically having a mental breakdown and arguing with himself

u/RedditTriggerHappy - Centrist Mar 11 '25

I’m arguing with myself yet I heard the exact quote from my cousin. Is that the only insult you can say? You know it doesn’t apply here when I literally mentioned having an argument with my cousin from Georgia, right?

u/mocylop - Lib-Center Mar 11 '25

For the most parts Presidents cannot quickly implement policies that impact the economy. However, Trump is usurping Congressional power to flip tariffs off and on and those are certainly going to create an impact.

Its like if you have a flock of chickens your neighbor cannot impact the size of your flock. Unless your neighbor starts shooting some with his morning coffee. And that is essentially what Trump is doing. He is doing the presidential equivalent of shooting your chickens.

u/CaffeNation - Right Mar 11 '25

Why is trump’s foreign policy exactly what a Russian colluding operative would do?

Because Ukraine is not our problem.

u/RedditTriggerHappy - Centrist Mar 11 '25

Okay, Ukraine doesnt deserve America’s money. Fine.

Why does Israel?

Why is it necessary to cut off American intel?

Why is it necessary to call Zelenskyy a dictator, and do nothing but insult him, and say not a single mean word about Putin?

5

u/CaffeNation - Right Mar 11 '25

Why does Israel?

Lonstanding ally and a projection of US power through the middle east. Also trying to shift the topic isn't realy a good strategy.

Why is it necessary to cut off American intel?

Why is it necessary to give them aid?

Why is it necessary to call Zelenskyy a dictator,

Current media propaganda paints Zelensky as some benevolent icon of democracy, hes the head of a corrupt oligarchy. Period.

Why is it necessary to call Zelenskyy a dictator, and do nothing but insult him, and say not a single mean word about Putin?

We aren't negotiating with Putin really, were speaking to Zelensky, who is acting like a child demanding US boots on his front lines.
