still purposely trying to uncover what causes this , singularly from stated Conservatives /Independents
we all know the substantive responses what we get from Liberals ( cue the laughing emoticon)
I cannot think of a more attacked political figure anywhere in history.
Those that side with Trump are characterized (projected) by the left (and some Kinzinger/Cheney types on the right) as walking cult figures that hinge with every utterance from the former Presidents mouth. An purposeful exaggeration meant to quell any debate or analysis.
Similarly never Trumpers never quite seem to be able articulate or enumerate their grievance(s) past mean tweets or his penchant to exaggerate "like we have never seen" (et al)
Never Trumpers apparently never delve deep into their visceral dislike of the man to realize, if they did, they could easily apply similar dissatisfaction with Bush, Romney, McCain or any leading Republican leader in the last century ( maybe excluding Reagan)
This remarkable phenomenon comes at at time when the divide between the current ,radical left wing of the Democratic Party and traditional Conservatives agree on virtually nothing at all except TDS...meanwhile Trump , who won the election in 2016 ..then got 16% more votes in 2020 ( thats 10 million more votes) and now polls at even higher %'s than 2020 leading into the 2024 election. This defies mathematical norms . Where are all the new voters coming from ? they are not being scraped off of old voter registries or unearthed out of graveyards as is the Democrat way ...the are precisely being converted from historic Democratic blocks...the blue collar working class and a modicum of minority groups ( blacks and Hispanics) and the younger, silent majority of our youth ...these groups have first hand accounts of what was and what is...a perfect petrie dish of 2 styles of government ..one talks non stop about the working man the other actually produces more disposable income and opportunity for that group
This group is more gutteral in its belief systems and its support ...that 1997 Chevrolet truck with a Trump sticker on the back windshield, will firmly lock eyes with you traveling down I-35 as you pass..they are willing to get into the mud with the left ......and they are tired of the talk ( on both sides)
One side hates America and talks about economic and social injustices . One side states they have the better mosusetrap but they never catch any mice. Ever
The third side simply wants to hold on to more of what they sweat for each week . They have no use for talks of Ukraine or defund the police, They have a hard enough time buying Kraft mac and cheese and soon to be expired hamburger steaks to be involved in a tone deaf government class generationally proimise. Their jobs are being replaced by illegal immigrants , their taxes are increasing and the tax money spent never makes it back to them or their community in any useful manner. They are simply not represented. Trump is virtually the only politician that speaks to this...watch the Trump rallies and pay close attention to the faces in the crowd ...i believe you'll not see your mom and dads Republican debutantes in there. There is an emerging group who is tired of the talk on both sides
So as we enter the election straits of 2024...who is the real minority ?
Is it the ever growing violent left who seeks to suppress speech and imprison its political oppoents ?
Or is it the Republican never Trumper who is comfortable in getting its political ass handed to itself for the last 50 years with the exact same template that has overseen and stood by to see this country become what it is today ?
or is it Trump and the growing group of American Nationalists who know what it is that made and makes this country special and are tired of people exaggerating what it is and isnt ?
i think the numbers speak for themselves
so you go ahead and indict Trump on an another insane charge that is clearly politically driven and stand behind a career bureaucrat that sells information to our enemies
keep speaking about how we need a more traditional, career politician who says all the right things and wont enflame the media to turn things around in Washington DC
go on and rail about Trump and his imperfections, dont feel bad about yourself when asked to ennumerate your negatives on Trump and you run out of ideas after "you just dont like him"
The new, emerging Republican base doesn't really care ...they stand for very basic items and they have very little left to lose
1. lots of less of everything from Washington DC
2. pay attention to America's needs and its people first
3. reward performance not equity
Trump didn't break America . His Presidency oversaw the reversal of the Obama economy and led to economic, domestic and foreign policy heights all while being unprecedentedly attacked by the left on entirely made up charges by his political opponents ( thats some actual 3rd world BS)
You dont have to like the guy, but not voting for him for that is really not a political ethos is it ? If you think it is , you are part of the problem .
