On Wednesday, Donald Trump made a pointed statement on Truth Social directed towards Nikki Haley’s donors, writing, “Anybody that makes a ‘contribution’ to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp,” and less than 24-hours later, Haley flipped the attack into a campaign merchandise opportunity.

    i use the term ‘hold their nose’ for this reason. i do not have as much hope in the critical-thinking arena of the general conservative population as you do. …only by judging by their actual actions the last few cycles.

      I don’t think its as much “nose holding” as “spite voting”. Conservatives are prickly and a number of them have been caught in embarrassing or damaging situations because of trump. Roe vs Wade overturn is a big one, for instance.

      I don’t think you seem to be aware of their actual actions as much as you have misconceptions about the actual statistics.

      Do you honestly think 100% of them voted for Trump, even the first time around, before he showed his true colors? You got facts to back that up, or just circle-jerking beliefs based on your feelings?

          Show me some evidence. Don’t just say it like Trump says his election was stolen. Quit acting like a fascist.

              Yeah, when someone makes a claim like all repubs vote for a fascist, they should back it the fuck up. Unless that says-whatever-he-wants asshole is your role model or something.

              Except you know you’re just spewing bullshit like this is all a game, and not something that will result in actual, real life bloodshed and a worsening of all our lives, and maybe even the loss of our freedom to some militaristic, idiot-run future.

                not voting for a not fascist is just as bad as directly voting for the fascist.

                so youre a conservative who chose not to vote fascist, awesome… but not voting makes it tacitly so. .

                if youre a conservative not voting this election, youre voting for fascism.

                  Your trolling is weak. Still waiting for that proof that all repubs voted for Trump, and so we should just shit on them all instead of trying to sway them with mature arguments.
