In what sense is it a clusterfuck? Did your favorite NGO get defunded? I wish it had gone further, but Democrat obstructionism and lawfare is the main reason it didn't.

As I see it, the only anti-American nihilists are the ones who believe our country should represent sexual and cultural degeneracy, and who want small towns in Ohio flooded with the dregs of the earth through the wide-open border. Those are the only anti-American nihilists I see.

We voted to stop funding NGOs that promote transgenderism in Serbia, not because the savings will eliminate the deficit, but because it was embarrassing that that was what we had come to represent globally.

We voted to stop giving federal tax dollars to groups that want to sue on behalf of Kilmar Abrego-Garcia and other leftist pet projects, not for purely financial reasons, but because it was an insult to the taxpayer that we were being forced to fund groups that hate the American people.

I realize the fiscal savings won't balance the budget, but the point is, we voted to cut off the gravy train for the left-wing NGOs. The taxpayer shouldn't be funding groups that want to flood our country with cartel members. I'm representative of Trump voters, just not your leftoid bubble.

I doubt you're any better informed than they are, you just have mainstream media assuring you of your moral superiority.

These are the people who claim Trump's voters are uninformed. What an intelligent take, sir. I'm regretting my vote for Trump already.

The fact that you think what Trump is doing amounts to "fascism" reveals you as the one who lacks nuance and boils things down to soundbites, not me.

This take confirms my belief that the Right understands the Left far better than the Left understands the Right. For your reading list, I'd recommend Aristotle's Politics, and Carl Schmitt's The Concept of the Political.

I didn't see any Democrats "standing up to Biden" on those issues, and it wasn't because of "fear of retaliation". It's because those issues were genuinely popular with the Democratic base. The same reason Republicans aren't "standing up to Trump" on issues only Democrats care about.

They did, and I was. I voted for Biden in 2020, and then he opened the floodgates at the border and said that the ability of males to use women's locker rooms was "the civil rights issue of our time". I regretted voting for him, not Trump.

There are things people disagree with Trump on, but they aren't the things Democrats and the media are mad about.

No one is "afraid of retribution" lol. If anything, we want him to go farther and are annoyed at how the courts are trying to hamstring the administration. On issues where there have been concerns, like tariffs, Trump has listened to criticism and changed course.

No, the implication is that the party is broadly behind Trump, and the people who want Congress to "stand up to Trump" are almost entirely Democrats. If anything, Republicans' main complaint is that there haven't been *enough* deportations, not that we want Abrego-Garcia brought back.

Ultimately, the argument that people voted for a smorgasbord of policies is true of both parties, and Kamala represented absolutely nothing I wanted. I absolutely wanted mass deportations and an end to the woke/LGBT agenda.

Would I have liked to see DOGE go farther? Absolutely, but that's my only complaint. And I know the main reason it didn't was because Dems sued to block everything it did, and I hold that against them. I support every cut it made.

What I did not vote for is someone who sounds like Will Stancil to have the power to use the courts like a whiphand to force the government to keep doing things the old way, and funding things I hate. I absolutely voted to dislodge the Deep State, epitomized by USAID.

I absolutely voted for DOGE. I was sick and tired of my tax dollars being used to fund far-left propaganda outlets that advocate against my values abroad, and research on new ways of transing children at home.

Or maybe people simply don't agree with your idea of what constitutes a "tyrant". Maybe we think your attempts to overturn elections if a candidate on the right wins (as they do in the EU) makes you the real tyrant.

This is a feature, not a bug. We elected this Congress because what Trump is doing has a genuine electoral mandate. I'm sorry it's hard for you to wrap your head around, but your side simply lost, fair and square, legitimately and democratically. It's not a constitutional crisis. You just lost.

The fact that you want the power to overturn elections if someone you deem "authoritarian" wins, makes you the real authoritarian.

The point of "democracy" is that an unelected class of people doesn't get to decide that elections are invalid because the winning candidate is an "authoritarian", in their opinion. If your crowd had the power to overturn elections in that way, *that* would be authoritarianism.

Harris received fewer votes than Trump. The Democrats lost both the popular vote and the electoral college.

Trump isn't a "problem" to be "solved". The people got tired of what your party is selling, and we voted for an alternative. You seem to want something out of Chomsky, where "democracy" only exists to manufacture the appearance of consent for your policies, and any other outcome is an aberration.

You only like democracy when the people elect candidates who agree with you. Trump was elected because his ideas are genuinely popular, not because the public was misled by right-wing media. I think mainstream liberal media is propaganda, but I recognize it reflects a real slice of the electorate.
