My feelings aren't hurt at all. I have voted for both parties. Trump going after people in his own administration because they dare to speak out against him is not what our country needed.

No you haven’t. Lockdown Larry Hogan doesn’t count as a Republican.

But, you're otherwise not too far off. My point this entire time has been that you can add "Trump Theater" to the list.
If you think Sleepy Joe and the gang aren’t going to give out free stuff to the entitled on a regular basis I again have some bad news for you, and let’s not forget muh reparations.

Except they still want him gone and they and his followers are infuriated by it. They’d trade him being gone versus “Trump Theater”...and thinking they’re capable of governing much beyond what I gave examples of, isn’t reality.

For the most part, people got out of poverty, as they do today. Newer, less educated residents replaced them, at the lower paid, less skilled jobs. Mobility is the American way.

He is a moderate republican who appeals to everyone. This is why he was elected twice in a blue state. Not all of us are extremists. There are still many moderates who votes both parties.

Another 1/6, lol. You guys still act as if that was anywhere near the Democrat-supported months of widespread riots.

1. Wallowing in denial about this being a different USA than it was 60 or even 30 years ago.
2. Belief that Trump and only Trump can solve what's wrong with America.
3. Believe that traditional American values and ways of thinking are so great that there's no need to change them (put another way, The American Way of Life is so perfect that it speaks for itself).
4. "Sunk Cost Fallacy" - investing so much emotional energy in the one who is (supposedly) going to save this country by championing "convention, tradition, and common sense" that they refuse to shift their attentions to others with a better image than Trump (and especially too invested to question convention, tradition, and time-honored values, etc).

Given the nose dive the country is taking and that the dems have had to steal two of those three elections, they come across as the losers. Why support them?
