    Valid take but I’ve literally heard some saying “it’s patriotic to pay more because Trump is trying to save us” in response to this kind of shit. They’re literally in a cult and their cult leader can do no wrong in their eyes.

    Maybe some are figuring out, but not enough.

    It’s like that old saying that a conservative would gladly eat a pile of shit if they knew a liberal had to smell their breath. As long as others are hurting more than them, they don’t care. The cruelty is the point.

    He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting

    From his previous stint in the Presidency.

      I agree about those idiots. But Trump got 77.3M votes in 2024 compared to 62.9M in 2016. At least some of the new dummies were influenced by high inflation under Biden and believed - even were counting on - Trump’s promise to not only stop inflation but miraculously reverse the price increases on Day 1.
