Small but growing rift among conservatives. A realization that many of Trump's latest actions suck for lack of a better way of putting it. Joe Rogan has come out against the ICE raids. Not sure if technically he's a conservative. MTG has been busy blasting Trump over the bombing of Iran's nuclear sites. Candace Owens told Piers Morgan that she is now embarrassed she told other people to vote for Trump. Then there's Tucker. OK.
What I'm seeing on some of the more liberal YouTube channels is gloating among the Left ("We told you so") and even anger at those who voted for Trump but who now have regrets. It was all out there in the open they say. Not really. Trump's first term was fairly normal as a frame of reference. Re the ICE raids JD Vance was directly asked, what was it during the VP debate what the plans were for the majority of illegal aliens who are not criminals. He pointedly would not answer the question. The overwhelming emphasis during the campaign was always on the criminal element. As for bombing Iran Trump campaigned on the exact opposite no foreign wars ot entanglements in the Middle East. America First. Now to the real bone of contention. Many libs take issue with having been called crazy and exaggerating for the things they said about Trump during the campaign, the whole TDS thing. Yes because they used specifically Hitlerian rhetoric. Technically though while Trump is many things technically he's still not a Hitler. Has a ways to go if you know your history.
At least give those of us credit and some points for now admitting mistakes no? That's how you grow. Not hearing the same regrets about Biden.
This too shall pass.
At my big screen computer and hurt all over. Fell in bathroom, got up- fell in the bedroom and then fell through the hallway door. Neighbor over and he and the Mrs. couldn't get me up. 911 and a ride in the ambulance, in ER for 5 hours. Left knee wrenched, left eye black, huge bruise on right hip bleeding from both elbows. Downing acetaminophen. Old age - gotta take our lumps?
ReplyDeleteHappened to my late Dad. He was in his 90s and fell when he got out of bed one morning and broke his thighbone. Straight to the ER. I myself will probably need the button soon - "I've fallen and I can't get up."
ReplyDeleteSo we were supposed to listen to the Left when they spoke about Trump in Hitlerian terms. Ours was a natural reflex in the opposite direction. Hyperbole doesn't get more people on your side. My take anyway.
ReplyDeleteHis tendency is along totalitarian lines, rounding people up, building concentration camps, firing judges and experts and replacing them with yes men etc. Hey! Have you tried his new line of perfumes yet?
ReplyDeleteYou're acting like totalitarian lines is something new. Remember during covid if your job required you to take the shot and they fired you because you didn't you couldn't even file for unemployment insurance or is only the Trump version of totalitarianism bad? Also the Biden Administration trying to censor certain speech online during covid. Fascism didn't start with Trump. Just sayin'.

Deletewell, i took the Tetanus shot at the ER with no complaints
So basically if Trump wasn't a Hitler in his first term why act perplexed that people voted for him for a second term?
DeleteSome people have made the point he forgot to do the Hitler thing during his first term. I mean he wanted to just forgot or didn't have the time or something.
ReplyDelete"Kill Mike Pence"?
ReplyDeleteThe Golden Oldies.
ReplyDeleteYou are truly a Trump hobbyist. Some people are into coin collecting. Shall I send you the Trump Bundle?
ReplyDeleteI'm loath to make the Hitler comparison, but if my history is correct, Hitler's rise took many years... there's still time for Trump to go over the ledge.
ReplyDeleteFor me it's a gut call. Trump is too old and goofy to become a Hitler. A lot of his ramblings too might be due to a cognitive decline. He lacks gravitas.
