Let's try your own slogans first:

America First

Cheap gas

Cheap beef

No new wars

All things conservatives accused Democrats of fucking up if given power. Now that Trump has fucked up these things you don't care about them anymore. You expect people to treat you seriously after this blatant hypocrisy? Maybe your best interest are fellating a washed up TV celebrity and we just don't know it.

Gas is transitory. Will come down after Iran problem solved. Beef is because of historically low cattle herd. Not a political issue. America first is working. Hence the angst from the rest of the world. The American tit is closed for business. Oh, and my tax bill is lower and I’m having the best year I ever have had. My interests are being met just fine.

Increased SALT deduction

The one that Trump lowered to hurt blue states back in 2017 that conservatives had to be bribed to support in this last extension of his tax cuts? That SALT deduction?

Yes and 2017 reductions were extended. And they weren’t lowered to hurt blue states. Stop watching MSNow

lol. It disproportionally affected blue states and it was intentional. Stop pretending like he’s not the biggest vindictive snowflake on the planet.

But you’re free to give him credit for cleaning up a mess he made I suppose if that’s what you’re going to hang your hat on.

Calm geo politics lead to stable prices. A properly functioning government leads to breakups of monopolies and regulation that helps keep water clean, air breathable, and again, stable prices.

Less culture war and bullshit out there leads to happier populations which in turn can increase living standards and GDP.

Edit: yikes 4yr old account with -99 karma, so you’re just a troll or a bot. I see yandex a was able to save some of you

Only -99 Karma because I don’t subscribe to the mindless Reddit liberal group think. It’s a badge of honor to have negative Karma on this platform. You guys can never engage. You get your feelings hurt and bash the dislikes. So predictable.

u/samuelj264 11h ago

Yikes. I answered your question by the way if you have anything to add to that

They don't because they aren't really interested in discussion. Their mind is made up and it doesn't matter if their best interest gets in the way.
