Here are the percentages of 2024 Trump voters who disapproved of him in each of these areas:

  • Gas prices: 45%

Does that mean that the majority of Trump voters approve of Trump’s gas prices? A nation of masochists, apparently.

High gas prices are a pittance if we can bring Jesus back! (I wish this were a joke).

If he can turn water into wine, then by god we can waterboard that Palestinian until he turns it into ethanol for our cars.



There was an article a few weeks ago where folks were interviewed at a gas station in Pennsylvania. Two of the Trump voters who was fine with the higher prices said it was an acceptable price to pay to keep the nation safe. They really thought Iran was going to attack the US, possibly with nukes.

I have no hope of changing the minds who fervently believe in that crap

We shouldn’t focus on changing the minds of people who are clearly not capable of that, instead you focus on making their opinions irrelevant

We’re hostages to their opinion





Some of his supporters will accept anything with a smile as long as it’s their side doing it. Some are so drowned in right wing media bullshit that they might as well be living in a parallel universe. And some will just be so averse to criticizing Trump (particularly in a poll which is likely to have political remifications) that they’ll defend or ignore almost anything bad, even if they do hate it.

Yep. Just like some are only on the Trump train because they’re afraid of the social ramifications of saying anything bad about him.

In some circles, saying a single bad word about Trump will get you ostracized, shunned, and perhaps even targeted by violence.


They would let Trump take a shit in their mouths if they thought a Dem would have to smell it.

“I’d rather vote for a Russian than a Democrat”.




“It’s a sacrifice we have to make to get _

They just have to convince themselves that every bad thing is worth it in the long run because Trump is doing such a wonderful job on “X”. Their propaganda channel / site of choice just tells them why their sacrifice is necessary.
