          If you’re a conservative, in my eyes you’re an anchor to progress. I don’t care if it’s Trump or whomever.

                Populist reactionaries are not the same as conservatives. I would put them on the far right, beyond what I’d call conservatism.

                In my opinion, there isn’t much of a conservative movement in the US anymore, and most of what exists is a faction in the Democratic Party.

                  Wow you listed two whole things that were never conservative keystones and pretended they were.

                  What about his thoughts towards regulating big business? Roe v. Wade? Immigration?

                  His administration was never pro-weed. I bet you think Trump is here to protect the LGBTQ as well.

                  Last time I checked the conservatives love pump and dump schemes hence why they always repeal banking regulations.

                  He is a scam artist full stop. All Republicans are responsible for Trump unless they scream out at the top of their lungs he is a narcissist asshat and do everything they can to thwart him.

                  The gloves are off and we are tired of the racism, misogyny, voter suppression, and othering of human beings. The hate train is coming to a stop.

      Reactionary

      How the fuck is being anti-Trump ultraconservative? Trump’s entire “Make America Great Again” ethos is reactionary. I don’t think you know what Reactionary actually means…

      Lemmy is progressive, which means that anyone who endorses Donald Trump, a man who we know very well to be regressive and dishonest, is going to get shit on for it, and we won’t be wrong. Opposing Trump is about as far from reactionary as you can get.

      This little faux-bipartisanship song & dance you’re doing for us on the other hand…

      You run into one asshole, you’ve just run into an asshole. If you run into assholes everywhere you go, you’re the asshole.

      Also, what’s TDS?

        Trump Derangement Syndrome.

        Basically if you’re against Trump, you must be completely obsessed with him and therefore deranged. Sane people don’t oppose him. Or something like that

        TDS = Trump Derangement Syndrome

        It’s the dumb insult that Trump supporters use to accuse anyone anti-Trump of being mentally ill.

      Even if you are pro trump, politicians doing a 180 on their views should alarm you. It’s nice to be able to support a candidate with some assurance that they are what they say they are.

          She claimed to be super progressive left in 2016 and 2020 during the presidential elections. She then endorsed Biden then trashed Biden and endorsed Trump. She clearly just wants a cabinet position with someone.

        I haven’t been paying enough attention to know if this is a 180 or just a continuance of what they were already doing but you should want politicians whose beliefs can change based on new information

        I find it odd that she is using her military pedigree as justification for this because of how anti-American military personnel Trump is but she could have been preaching his policies for awhile now

          She fully supported Bernie Sanders in 2016. She ran as a progressive in 2020 against Bernie with almost identical policies, and then suddenly endorsed Biden when she realized Bernie wasn’t going to win. She then started going on Fox etc. and trashing Biden, and now is endorsing Trump. She has run the entire political spectrum according to who she thinks is likely to win and give her a cabinet position without regard to policy. Also she is part of a Hawaiian cult that wants to take over the world.
