Comment on So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs?

Of course. Does their voter base strike you as people who give two shits about their own well being?
They run on spite. They don’t want to win- they just want you to lose. And they’ll pretend to believe whatever might have to be true to make them feel like you have.

Sorry but his voter base strikes me as people who only care about their own well being and they always flip their shit when the wrong people get burnt.

Sure, if “caring about their own well-being” = “maintaining their very fragile shitty worldview and trying to hide their pants-wetting cowardice about anything unfamiliar,” sure.

This is accurate. I have a decent amount of Republican family and friends and this week was the first time I’d seen them go, “wait, oh HELL no.” I mean there is now a Republican group that is suing this administration for not following due process and circumventing Congress. That says a lot.
Just think about a retiree boomer who had their savings wiped out. What’s left to lose? Personally, I think there is a Julius Ceasar moment coming. Not condoning that but the writing is on the wall.

It seems to be necessary that they both be personally affected, and recognize that, for them to start caring.
