This argument went out the window long ago. You're not absolved of responsibility just because you voted for someone who wants to hurt people instead of hurting

This argument went out the window long ago. You're not absolved of responsibility just because you voted for someone who wants to hurt people instead of hurting them yourself.

Quit turning the argument around. forget about "them" - what does it say about you when you cannot talk nice about people you disagree with? People who voted for Trump are not stupid. They have real concerns that they do not see being met and so they are turning to something that while maybe not ideal is at least a promise of maybe better. Maybe it will be worse, but they don't see things on the right track as they were either.

  I'm sorry but any charitability was lost after his first term, if you're still voting for him then yes, you are indeed stupid. His actions literally do not benefit anyone other than a few close "friends" that make billions on the massive swings he creates in the market. If you're a money hungry billionaire I understand why you vote for him, if you're the average Joe then you're dumb. I find it really funny that even now, several months into his seconds term, you're still attempting to paint his supporters as regular level-headed people with "real concerns". Yea, that's why in every interview where they cry about lost jobs or crashed market it's "I thought he was going to hurt the others!". Real fine people he's got there.

  I feel like by now those people you describe should have realized Trump is doing no good on those issues they supposedly cared about. And if they had even a tiny modicum of empathy, they should be scared shitless about the people getting disappeared. The economy is shit, eggs are more expensive than ever but those same people that insisted those issues alone should decide the fate of the country don't seem to care anymore. Why? People who voted for Trump weren't stupid, they've been molded into it by the most expensive proaganda apparatus that ever existed. Ask yourself, why isn't Trump's popularity declining in the face of such incompetency? Now, what can a nice talk achieve that material reality failed to convince those people of?

    That you think the president could do anything about the price of eggs (which are driving by fundamentals) shows that you are no better.

      Then why did he run on that?? That's my whole point! Why did Fox News make this the central issue of the campaign? Why did he promise 100 times he would bring down egg prices? And why is he now pretending like the prices are down and lower than ever before??? And most importantly, why aren't there any Republicans that care he lied and continues to lie so shamelessly about it? On that and the thousand other issues he promised he would fix and did not deliver jack shit on. My point is, they're completely detached from reality. No amount of polite discussion can bring them back. If you haven't realized Trump is a lying crook at this point, you never will. You're prime example, you just shut your mind completely and said "he can't do anything about it" when 4 months prior you, like the rest of them, certainly would have been adamant Biden should go to hell for making eggs so expensive and that Trump would fix everything.

        What do you mean I shut my mind - I never subported him for various reasons. I'm just stating his supporters are not as stupid as you think.
