Complaining yes. But they’d gladly vote Trump again, given a chance. If MAGA isn’t working they just MAGA harder.

A bit like smashing your head against a brick wall repeatedly. Sure, it hurts a lot a few times, but eventually it won’t hurt at all any more.

The only thing they’re more scared of than what trump is actually doing to them, is what Faux et all have told them Democrats will do to them.

So hell yes, they’ll vote MAGA next time. Kinda like North Korean citizens, most genuinely believe it’s worse on the outside than inside.

They just don’t want to be forced to be trans. Is that so hard to imagine? 🙄

Which if you ask them they won’t be able to really explain and they’ll default to _“just LOOK at what they’re doing, man!”_ Which will be a whole mishmash of anecdotal claims about free shoplifting, poop in the streets, middle school sex changes, freebies to illegals, sharia, “press 1 for English”, pronouns, banning gas cars, etc.

What I think is the real fundamental fear planted in them is one of extinction and erasure. That the society their grandchildren grow up in will be too different, so their ways will perish, because their grandchildren will not just grow up to not be the same identity they are but will repudiate and condemn it (and demand _they_ do so too if they’re still around).

And if you tell them that society changing is how it’s always been, they’ll scoff at you.

At best they’ll tell me THAT is the problem. Or “but not on the IMPORTANT things!”

…

Nonetheless they’ll moan and whine about the leopard bites but will insist that is an unintended consequence and they still support what LEPFP stand for.

I hope you folks weren’t giving someone a Trump Gold phone as a late gift. How surprising!

Well, with the extra time at least they can make sure it’s as high quality as the Trump watches.

Only the finest of cheapo Chinese craftsmanship for leopard victims. The factory probably charged about $3.50 per watch at the factory door. So about $10 delivered to the recipient. All else is nifty grifty profit.

Are you sure that’s a typo? It could be an opinion.

‘And we expected that it would have the integrity of the president of the United States…’ Well… I’d say it does.
