'You have fully lost my vote': Trump supporters rebel against him over new policy proposal
We spend so much time focusing on Trump that it’s easy to overlook how reprehensible his followers are. What incredibly hateful people! “We won’t support you anymore because you stand for things that don’t hurt ‘them’ enough! You’ve lost my vote!”
Seethe, MAGAts, seethe.
"Yeah. Sure. 'Operation Paperclip' worked out Fantastic for America and Americans. We are paying for that naïveté to this very day," the user wrote.
Umm… what?
Ignoring the fact that most if not all of them were full-blown card carrying Nazis, those guys kept the US steadily ahead of the Soviet Union during the Cold War and they got us to the Moon.
What the actual fuck could this guy be talking about?
They don't have any actual thoughts, just predispositions that get watered by their media to grow into weeds of incomprehensible hate.
Well he might be worried about Nazis in America, but uh that Venn diagram has very little overlap.
Ignoring the fact that most if not all of them were full-blown card carrying Nazis
Gather 'round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun,
A man whose allegiance
Is ruled by expedience.
Call him a Nazi, he won't even frown,
"Ha, Nazi, Schmazi, " says Wernher von Braun.
Don't say that he's hypocritical,
Say rather that he's apolitical.
"Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down?
That's not my department, " says Wernher von Braun.
Some have harsh words for this man of renown,
But some think our attitude
Should be one of gratitude,
Like the widows and cripples in old London town,
Who owe their large pensions to Wernher von Braun.
You too may be a big hero,
Once you've learned to count backwards to zero.
"In German oder English I know how to count down,
Und I'm learning Chinese!" says Wernher von Braun.
A broadly educated population is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative ideologies.
Doubt.
Hmmm
GOP - attack education at all levels and accuse universities of being liberal communist breeding grounds
Also GOP - We gotta ban all foreigners on the wrong end of the family guy color swatch and mass deport those already here
Trump - Let's give foreigners with degrees green cards
Something doesn't track here.
If I get my tinfoil hat resized, I might think this is how you lower pay for professionals.
Something doesn’t track here.
Treason Trump is trying to be an immigration extremist at both ends simultaneously.
I figured this balancing act would topple eventually. He can't keep his crazy Base happy and reach out to moderates with sensible policy.
Did you really need to click bait it? Just write the reason in the header.
Treason Trump is going to hand out unlimited Green Cards to foreign workers as a favor to billionaire friends.
I hate articles that just regurgitate tweets. A few random people saying something doesn't make it news.
"I hope to see changes but until then, I am now an uncommitted voter."
What do you bet he's still gonna vote R in November
it's a Twitter post, I'd be surprised he was ever real
There's just as good a chance he will just stay home.
Spoke to an old man today who needed help blocking all of the Trump shit he subbed to. Apparently he isn't voting for him anymore. Dunno if he's voting for Harris or just not voting, but it felt good getting rid of all that shit for him
My wife overheard some boomers at a restaurant talking and she was shocked to hear them talking about NOT voting for Trump. He's not doing himself any favors. Previously alienating seniors and vets because of Project NeverHeardOfIt, now this. He's eroding his own base trying to appeal to a larger audience and I'm ok with that.
The only interesting things in the story were:
Trump took to Truth Social at around 3:00 A.M. on Saturday morning to share a link celebrating a proposal he had previously put forth.
The link, an opinion piece from the Washington Examiner, is titled, "Trump is right: Foreign graduates should get green cards."
The rest of it is just cherry picked tweets or xits or whatever.
Oh this could be a new strategy. Trick Trump into sharing things his base will hate by starting the headline with something like "Trump is right" or "Trump is a genius."
why was he on social media at 3am?
Rumors are that he is addicted to uppers.
These fuckin’ jabronis.
As a foreigner with a college degree who grew up in the States: no thanks. I have nothing against Americans, but their politics alone drive people mad.
Me too dude…
Welcome to the club. Donuts and coffee are on the table. Group discussion starts in 5.
LOL! Didn't expect this to be a "Trump isn't racist/xenophobic/stupid enough for me." thing. Hilarious.
"Yeah. Sure. 'Operation Paperclip' worked out Fantastic for America and Americans. We are paying for that naïveté to this very day,"
Operation Paperclip was a secret United States intelligence program in which more than 1600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians were taken from former Nazi Germany to the U.S. for government employment after the end of World War II in Europe, between 1945 and 59.
Yeah, it just did horrible things for America....
Save a click.
That is so obviously something his majority-undereducated followers would disapprove of.
"They're taking our degrees!"
This does not benefit the average Trump voter, this only benefits the owners and investors of private healthcare businesses as it will allow them to employ filipinos and indian doctors and nurses with cheap salaries
H1B visas require you to pay the prevailing wage to candidates. These doctors are not given “cheap salaries.” And they often come with much better practical experience than some American straight out of fellowship.
