I know several Republicans who will say they love trump and everything he’s doing. I say well, conservation is really important to you, and trump just cut funding to wind farms, cut tons of environmental protections, cut regulations for pollution, isn’t this against everything you stand for? And they say “well nobody’s perfect.”
Then they say rfk is going to fix our country’s health! and I say he is anti vax this is the foundation he funds to create anti vax propaganda, haven’t you been pushing for vaccines your whole life? And they say well I don’t think he’s really going to do that.
And then they say trump is going to fix the border and I say “weren’t you saying for years the problem is illegals and that we should protect refugees? Trump just canceled flights for 1500 refugees who would have been totally legal to be here” and they say well I don’t know. 1 day later they’re back to saying trump and rfk are great.
I don’t think they are faking these beliefs, it’s just as soon as a republican does it they choose to not see it. I can understand looking the other way for 1 or 2 things, but when 10+ go against their core values in the course of 3 days… it’s just really disappointing to see them value “their guy” over the work they’ve done for their whole lives.
Just FYI every time you say “the rest of the world” you should in fact be talking about the entire planet and not just Europe or the Western nations or the developed nations.
In this case much if not most of the world is still authoritarian to some and would never view American politics as “hard right” unless you are only talking about the last 2 years or so.
Your take is incredibly Eurocentric in this case.
Yeah, I see it now. My bad. I sound like a USAian talking about “the world series” that only happen in the USA. Thanks for pointing it out.
The “World Series” but is an excellent comparison. I’ll have to work that into this bit in the future as I have to point this out frequently.
