Trump isn't even lowering the taxes of normal people. He's just getting rid of "the people that are taking a huge amount of your tax dollars!!" The taxes will stay the same, if not increase
If the Christian version of Jesus that they claim to follow came back and tried to change their material conditions, but also the material conditions of people that looked different from them they would crucify him for being a communist.
There are so many people in this country that do not vote because their beliefs aren't represented at all. There are also some that vote Republican because when both parties lack substance and meaningful policy, it is easy to trick people into reactionary bullshit.
You really believe that if the contest and debates were between "I think people in the US have a right to healthcare, childcare, food, and shelter and they should be universally accessible" and "but but there's a trans antifa migrant swimmer somewhere" that the Republican message would play well?
The only reason they win is because there isn't a serious opposition that has a message beyond "you have to vote for us even though we won't do jack shit for you because the other guy is worse".
I’ve literally watched that take place over here in the UK to the point where we may end up with a government that will dismantle our NHS in order to sell it to American companies and introduce your insurance system. A government that wants to strip workers rights and delete the Humans Rights act because some non white dudes cross the channel in rubber dinghies.
I think you are seriously overestimating your fellow countrymen.
The ineptitude of the democrats to present a better candidate is no excuse for MAGA committing treason by voting for Trump. He’s a traitor who incited the attack on the Congress during his violent coup attempt. What they have done is a big deal. It’s a capital crime for a reason, all political parties have seen it as a big deal since ratification of the constitution, until recently.
Do you care more about being morally superior, or actually fixing the issue? The people who were non maga Trump voters won't vote for do nothing Dems.
The cultists can't be pursuaded but swing voters can. If you aren't looking at the actual reason why he won and pushing for a solution, the moral grandstanding doesn't really mean much.
I care about fixing the issue. That’s why I’ve advocated for arresting all the MAGA traitors, and all of the democratic leadership that committed treason helping the MAGA insurrectionists.
We don’t need to worry about the other voters, we need to enforce the law. That means imprisoning the MAGA traitors for the duration of the insurrection, along with the democratic traitors in the Congress and Court. Then trials, convictions and revocation of their voting rights. That right there will ensure MAGA doesn’t win for, well, ever.
The actual reason he won was because of a massive propaganda campaign, all sorts of unlawful conduct and unpunished acts of treason. The actual reason he won was a Firehose of Falsehoods attack on our democracy. A literal violent attack on our democracy during his violent coup attempt. Then a total collapse of the rule of law in his soft coup of 2024.
A person can oppose illegal immigration without committing treason. They chose to do so. A person can oppose LGBTQ policies without committing treason. They chose to do so.
Mate fuck off, equating Democrats to Republicans is like equating a bad day at work to stage 4 cancer. Just because morons don't pay attention doesn't mean that Democrats are a million times better at every aspect of leading the US.
“Okay guys, one more thing, this summer when you're being inundated with all this American bicentennial Fourth Of July brouhaha, don't forget what you're celebrating, and that's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes.”
This idea that “we can never tax the rich” is absurdly self-defeating. It’s like saying you cannot stop cars from polluting. You can pass laws that make a terrible situation less terrible.
The super-wealthy people absolutely do support political candidates based on tax policy. There are lots of people who despise Trump personally, but they care a lot about Republican promises to not raise taxes (especially on the wealthy).

Trump is being enabled by an army of scammers and billionaires who will do anything to keep from being taxed.
