No they didn't. They voted for egg price reductions, they voted for better economy than the other guys, they voted to keep Mexicans out. At no point was a gutting of major science any part of a republican campaign platform.

They also voted for one of the most prolific public liars of all time. Voter beware.
Well, vote stupid, get stupid results. As can be nicely seen at this time already. If they are not stopped, Trump and Elonia will do enough damage that cleaning it up will take several decades, if still possible at all. The second is becoming a real possibility.

This is what I really don't get about Trump voters and MAGA.
Look, plenty of politicians and the media skew the truth, add a certain spin, cherry pick facts and lie by omission. A certain degree of manipulation will probably always exist, since the incentives for this sort of behavior are just too strong.
But Trump is just... off the charts. He doesn't even try to "skew" or to "spin", he just flat out lies almost every single time, and all of it is so well documented and in many cases easily refuted. And Trump voters simply don't care that their admiration and respect for Trump is not reciprocated in the least, since he will constantly lie to their face about almost anything, as long as it advances his interests. It is an astonishing display of ignorance in the face of a patholigical liar who has learned that he can get away with it, because nobody will hold him accountable, and on the contrary, his fans will love him even more for his wild and agitating but also completely false claims.
This is why many people say that MAGA - Trumpism is a cult. It is not rational.

Which is why trying to fight it with facts or reason doesn't work. They know they don't care about either, but they can troll people into argueing with them with arguments that can never be won
bygweihir ( 88907 ) writes:
Well, these people starrt with an Axiom: They are right. With that, they stop being able to think rationally and no amount of rational argument can reach them.
It is a like flat-earthers or anti-vaxxers: They only ever try to prove they are right and never try to see whether they may be wrong. They already _know_ they are right.

I subscribe to the dog model: a dog doesn't understand the words their master uses, it just responds to the sound of his voice. Like some pundit said: Trump supporters don't listen to what he says, they listen to what he means. This results in transcripts of so many of his comments being incoherent. Very seldom, often in court, does someone try to use the literal words to defend Trump.
bygweihir ( 88907 ) writes:
Actually, smart dogs can understand words, with some fundamental limitations. Seems many Trump fans range lower than dogs on the mental capability scale ...
