A Reddit comment by user “Damichia480” in the “Conservative” subreddit reads:
It too late he straight up broke every campaign promise.
“No new wars” Bombed iran and is about to fund Urkaine like Biden did
“Mass deportation” not enough and is keeping the illegal immigrants working as slaves and H1B
“I will release the Epstien files” “The flies on my desk” - Pam Bondi. Recanted everything he said and say there no flies and Republicans BLOCKED the release
Patel was hired to take care of the deep state but he is no different from them
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
RIP MAGA we been terribly lied to and betrayed by the people that shouldve served us but they devolved into being part of the establishment.
The original quote, "the enemy of my enemy if my friend" isn't about befriending your enemy, it's about using them to fight the bigger enemy.
The goal shouldn't be to get them to become progressive (right now) but to push on how they were wrong, and that Trump is a lie so that they can turn on Trump.
Most of these people are terrible people. But if they're infighting it's better for humanity than if they continue lock in step.
That's exactly my point though. They cannot be manipulated by anyone but Trump. They want to believe in him, therefore they will accept any excuse or bullshit he shovels out in their direction. Mark my words, they will be back on his side in no time. Nothing is more powerful than self-delusion.
Edit: further to my point, we need to stop trying to do anything with these people. We need to appeal to those who will not voted, who don't engage because they're sick and tired of politics as usual. People who are getting killed by our economy and don't like Trump, but they also don't like Democrats. We need more progressives and we need to get rid of the democratic party. Because their playbook was, is, and continually will be to try to appeal to conservative voters. New York City is a prime example of why. The Democratic party will pull out all the stops to try and prevent a progressive from taking an office. But they can't be bothered to stop a conservative. Just look at the pathetic showing they gave in opposition to that Ugly Ass Bill. They took selfies and posed with baseball bats and looked shocked and horrified as nearly every Republican voted it into law. But they didn't do a single real thing to try to stop it. Their attitude is, "well we'll get em in the mid-terms"... Meanwhile millions of Americans are going to lose health coverage and billionaires are going to line their pockets with that Medicaid money.
