MODERATORS
 

Hello everyone, I'm very new to lemmee and I noticed that the conservative community here is a bit more moderate than the subreddit so I figured I'll ask ; Are you satisfied with what Trump has been doing since he took office ? If yes, are you okay with everything or are you critical of some of his decisions ? If no, why and what did he do that you have not voted for ? I must inform you that I am not american but like the rest of the world, I am confused by the direction your contry is taking. No judgement or anything, just curious. Thanks to anyone who answers.

I've done this before. The answers will not heal you or make you understand.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I understand them. It's why I don't believe there's such a thing as a good conservative. Scars from a tumor removal are also what healing can look like.

A friend of mine asked this on one of his social media pages. This was one of the responses he got:

Yes, we are very happy with what Trump is doing. I am not worried about disdain. Ninety percent of people I know voted for Trump for the same reasons I did. We are $2 trillion in debt with waste fraud and abuse running rampant in our government. Leftists are pushing transgender ism on our teenagers and I know this because I teach in public school and l'm not part of the union but still get publications from them. They are pushing for men to compete in women's sports. DEl is a complete disaster for what should be obvious... instead of equal opportunity it's forced equal outcome. The immigration system is a complete mess with millions coming over our border unvetted, while 400,000 children are sex - trafficked and people are killed by fentanyl. In Springfield, Ohio near to where we live, 30,000 Haitian immigrants have taken over a lot of of the city, are driving without drivers licenses, are flooding into the schools that can't even handle the influx. In many cities, homeless people have totally taken over police departments, sleeping on floors and crime has gone up greatly. The previous president admitted to getting millions from our adversaries around the world and doesn't even have a defense for it and can't say what service he provided to get this money... the left censored our speech during the Biden era and lied to us about the vaccine, etc. That administration was the most corrupt in history. We teachers can no longer discipline in schools. I could go on and write chapters on everything!


It made me equal parts sad and infuriated to read that. This person has absorbed so much propaganda, accepted tons of misinformation as fact, and fallen for just about every moral panic currently out there.

I love the concern of debt, but trump is the biggest driver of the recent debt spike haha

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

And the previous one, too. Holy shit did he press the pedal last time. I can only imagine what he's doing now.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

I'm surprised he didn't say the immigrants were eating the dogs. What a lunatic.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

30,000 Haitian immigrants have taken over a lot of of the city, are driving without drivers licenses

I was actually in Springfield a couple summers ago and a takeover is laughable. There are issues of driving without license/insurance and those should be addressed (if they haven't already been).

I have family living also not far from springfield and have heard none of the other nonsense. Some institutions are stressed because of an influx of people, but they're also working jobs that needed workers; the origin of those workers would have zero bearing on that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Not surprised that the reality is stupidly overblown and people claim to believe every word of it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

The media which made them think voting for him would be a good idea is not showing them any of the easy to forsee results that would change their mind.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I didn't vote for him, but I know many people that did.

You won't find any responses on Lemmy that aren't from someone on the far left just regurgitating what they think Trump supporters are thinking or the random far right account that hasn't managed to be banned from everything on this website yet. Neither one accurately represents the average Trump voter.

If you're looking for an actual grounded response from a Trump voter you'll have to find it elsewhere.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

regurgitating what they think Trump supporters are thinking

Yep.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Well I know 2 people who went for Trump because of hate for Trans people in sports. So I think they are happy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yep! Trump is doing what needs to be done. And it's awesome to watch.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Man, imagine sucking trumps dick so hard that watching your country collapse is "awesome to watch." Fucking traitorous filth, you deserve so much of what's to come. can't fucking wait.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Man, imagine sucking trumps dick so hard that watching your country collapse is “awesome to watch.”

But the country isn't collapsing. You think it's going to collapse? What's your date for this "collapse"?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Ask yourself if it makes sense to ask for a date of collapse. I'll pretend you're trying to pull a Ken M because your questions sound very stupid otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

But the country isn’t collapsing.

Stock marking tanking. All our allegiances being broken. Cost of living increasing. Trade partnerships being destroyed. Abandoning allies. Kowtowing to our greatest adversary's desires. Disassembly of our federal government. Job losses.

ALL IN A SINGLE MONTH!!!

If that isn't collapse, I'd like to know what your clown concept of collapse looks like.

You honestly can't be this dumb. You must be a Russian troll.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

you deserve so much of what’s to come. can’t fucking wait.

Yeah? What's coming. Why be so vague. Come on man, let us know...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah? What’s coming.

Your quality of life is going to decline, you silly fuck.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Trump is doing what needs to be done.

Taking our economy? Increasing the cost of living? Tax breaks for the wealthy? Destroying our allegiances? Bending the knee to Russia? Firing veterans?

This all needed to be done?

And it’s awesome to watch.

Are you Russian?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Are you Russian?

No. YOu sound Russian though. Are you? Come on, fess up.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

And no word about the rest of what they said? Quite telling. lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I'm American. But regardless of what nationality I am, I am clearly much more intelligent than you and I just consider myself normal. So what does that make you?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He's not and it's not lol.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

incorrect. he's doing awesome. Glad he is our pres

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Incorrect, he's not, and I'm not surprised that you're glad the fascist is the president

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Trumps awesome. And most of the voting public agreed!

He's not, most of the world agrees.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Then how come the major news orgs don't say that?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How come major news organiz cowtow to world leaders everywhere?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I am not surprised.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Another telling answer. Merely asking this speaks to not only the lack of knowledge but also to a lack of imagination. You're not even connecting the dots between your millionaire president and the other millionaires who own networks & social medias, and who also gave him some fat cash. Like, bruh, the dots are right next to each other.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

And most of the voting public agreed!

Most Germans were into Hitler.

You're really bad at making good arguments.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Glad he is our pres

That's because you identify with felons and rapists.

I am a fellow European and as much as this affects us, we have to understand that the average Trump voter will not be affected by decisions on foreign policy in the near future. They do not understand the damage they are doing to America's soft power structure in the the world or how our dependency on them came at us closing our eyes at their plunders worldwide. It's about damn time we had a European Army anyway.
