Serious answers only. For over a year I was told that trump "doesn't have anything to do with that".

I honestly need to know from an actual Republican who believed trumps words and is now witnessing p2025 almost hit 50% completion with the department of education getting dismantled.

And with that; how do these people feel that public schools, daycare centers and tech schools all going to cost 3-6x as much as it does now for tuition?

They don't think Trump and Musk are doing anything wrong. When quizzed they'll ask you to name anything they've done wrong.

Everything Trump and Musk are doing is guised in Libertarian and Conservative values.So nothing wrong has been done on their eyes.

If you go places like r/JordanPeterson (to ask) and r/Conservative to observe the media landscape - you'll see that "The Woke" are wrong and have turned violent against Tesla. You'll see Trump and Musk are thought of as doing great things.

That's how they think. They're not in the same media landscape as everyone else is.

    That’s how they think. They’re not in the same media landscape as everyone else is.

    This is literally the cause of all our issues. Fucking propagandists creating an alternate "reality" for Magoos to exist within where they are the good guys fighting the evil evil communist far left scum.

    I can blame a Magoo for being so susceptible to hate filled ppropaganda, but I really REALLY fucking despise the propagandists with every fiber of my being. If there were ever a group of people that deserved a firing squad it would be those like Sean Hannity who know exactly what they're doing...

    But they also think you're in an alternative reality because of "leftist reactionaries" over blowing things in the media. Some of them would probably go as far to say that "We need anti-propaganda laws against the left wing media"....

    ...the problem for the left is, the right wing "alternative facts, alternative media landscape" is unfortunately MORE REAL in a legal sense because they own SCOTUS, and SCOTUS want to institute Unitary Executive theory... Which is what they're doing.

    It's a very clean sounding bunch of words for a kind of fascism.

    Why is this a thing? I've seen that so many times. "Oh yeah, well name Trump's indictments" as if they got a trump card.

    And, well... uhh there's a summary right here. What do they expect? Secret knowledge? As if pretending nobody knows that they are gives them leverage? I don't understand.

    They'll say a mix of "He's clearly not guilty because nothing stuck! Teflon Don!" and "You shouldn't go after politicians personal lives" and "Sucks for you he's President now! You're just a sore loser."

    ...that might make you mad, which they enjoy.

    I think it's so funny that Republicans have found this magical loophole to excuse just about any action by just saying it's woke. The second anything is called woke, it instantly must be destroyed and there's no disputing it because it is just simply too woke. Shit at this point I wouldn't be surprised at all if Trump said that zelensky and Ukraine has gone woke and they will send military aid to Russia to stop them

    Tell them research into women's medical conditions (like endometrial cancer) is no longer allowed. I'd love to know how they'd spin that one as positive.

    The problem is their spin isn't designed to be positive or have mass appeal. It's designed to create fervent followers who are desperate for something different and a sense they're winning.

    In your example I believe the response for them would be something along the lines of "Good, women shouldn't be getting special treatment anyways - END DEI !!!"

    Even though this means men are getting special treatment. Because research into prostrate cancer, for example, hasn't been banned.

    Yeah it's crazy. What's that line: To the privileged any attempt at equality is going to look like a loss of privilege.

    Something like that. I'm pretty sure they just want to harm come to groups they're prejudiced against. Even more insulting is I'm pretty sure the Trump administration has a lot of drink and drug related parties, Trump spent his youth in nightclubs, Musk is addicted to ketamine and Grimes mentioned them tripping on acod together.

    So it's debauchery at the top, austerity for everyone else. It's a real let them eat cake they're doing. Not serious or good people at all. Very little in the way of mprals or ethics, it's all about power, privilege, politics, and personal gain.
