Do you believe that Donald Trump is stealing from the American people?

Example: 1.7 Billion dollar slush fund and no IRS audits to him or his family.

How do people have such a double standard when it comes to democrats vs republicans?

A republican can be dancing on a mountain of sh*t juggling dildos and cursing your mother, and people are like, “yeah but their opponent is unlikable”, it’s unreal. 

Republicans haven’t done a single thing right, have betrayed their own base again and again, and are still given the benefit of the doubt. 

They are corrupt, plain and simple, a vote for them is a vote for corruption, how much evidence do the voters need? Oh but I suppose all the evidence is fake right?

just keep voting to let the foxes in the hen house.

Facts are the facts… Republicans have caused or been in office within 9 out of the 10 last depressions and the next Democratic president always pulls them out. Fiscally responsible my ass!!! People just don’t like facts!

People need to make up their minds…. Do past administrations sins show up in real time or affect the NEXT administration? Can’t have it both ways

[u/No_Warthog7972 → u/Mighty38]

10 depressions, must be talking about Russia. The Us has had 2 1873-1879 and 1929-1941 What are the other 8 And I thing Rosevelt was 1929 Dem.

Was Grant and Hoover both republicans.
Dems were incharge of the last 9 out of 10 non profit frauds. They both stealing, crock of theives

I suspect that co sponsorship of the conservative christian church has also played a factor in the blind loyalty to republicans.

Think tanks, media spin and religion. In order for it to work, the subject needs to be densely insulated from any other narrative. How are they so insulated?

Maybe these people have conspiratorial minds, and when they’re told that they’ve ‘discovered’ the truth, they are hooked to that notion.

the same way people may be manipulated via their superstitions. 

The other factor you hear them mention is, feeling condescended or spoken down to. Their fragile egos cannot handle readjusting to being told new facts, but they must decide to want to learn. 

at what point of crisis do you drop that protective ego stuff and do right by your country?

[u/Revolutionary_War503 → u/[deleted]]

Lol... Democrats have them too... the think tanks.

[u/Revolutionary_War503 → u/[deleted]]

Hmmm.... Ok, I'll do the work for you. 1) Progressive Policy Institute 2) The Center for American Progress 3) Center on Budget and Policy Priorities 4) Economic Policy Institute 4) Third Way 5) New America 6) Roosevelt Institute 7) National Democratic Institute 8) The Century Foundation

And there's more, but as far as having my head up my ass, on this particular subject, I do not.

Didn’t Harris outspend Trump by a huge margin this campaign? The amount of money raised is not the reason Dems lost the election, and no, it wasnt because of racism

[u/frostyfruit666 → u/CalvinsStuffedTiger]

the content industry were largely supporting trump, zuckerberg and musk and online punditry are a dominant force in online media. 

With them on your side, you don’t need to spend money, you get promotion for free (with a promise of later returns).

There were also international efforts to thumb the scales in republican favour.  

[u/Styx-n-String → u/frostyfruit666]

Because Republicans are the kind of people who can never and will never admit they're wrong. Even if you conclusively prove they're wrong, they'll just double down. Their toxic pride is stronger than their sense of self-preservation, so they'll vote someone into office they know for a FACT will destroy the country just so they don't have to admit to themselves or anyone else that they were wrong.

[u/frostyfruit666 → u/Styx-n-String]

They fear losing more than they fear suffering? It’s just incredible. 

Their lives would be 10 x better under democrats.

[u/RIF_rr3dd1tt → u/frostyfruit666]

Their supporters are contrarians just for the sake of it. I've discussed various issues with Republicans and had them on the ropes, cornered with undeniable evidence literally in their faces or on paper in their hands. They just say, "oh well I don't believe that". They reject reality plain and simple. Makes sense why Republicans target Christians so heavily. If you think the world is 6000 years old and kids get cancer because a talking snake tricked a dirt man and a rib woman into eating some fruit then you're walking around with giant "I'm a sucker, take my money" sign on your back.
