@MattGlantz You realize you’ve become Bonomo right? I mean you get up on your high horse and sanctimoniously talk down to people much more than he does actually
@abarber1@CashlessCab Your perception of what they are seeing is way too myopic. They are seeing fundamental changes in immigration, law enforcement, corporate America, universities etc that they are thrilled about! You are solely focused on the economy, but they are not. MAGA is thrilled *overall*
@abarber1@CashlessCab I wasn’t disputing that “support will fall.” You made a claim that only a minority of his supporters are happy with how things are going. It’s a claim that is throughly disputed by all available data but if you want to continue believing it, go right ahead.
@abarber1@CashlessCab So what are you saying? He’s going to have a less than 50% job approval rating among Republicans a month from now? You would like to wager on that?
@abarber1@CashlessCab You can just look at the cross tabs of the approval rating polls to see that he has overwhelming support among GOP. And if your position is that these people are lying for some reason, again, I would say to consider that they may (do) value different things than you do
@CashlessCab@abarber1 He was very consistent that he was going to increase tariffs if elected. And now he’s doing it. There’s nothing sneaky about that
@abarber1 Ok you are beyond help and obv havent read a single thing I said. Trump is fundamentally reshaping both public and private institutions in this country and you’re fixated on an 10% decline in the market. Completely unable to grasp that his voters, OVERALL, approve his performanc
@abarber1 And that GOP no longer exists. But when you say that you are only concerned with the economy, again I say, “you seem unwilling to understand that other people have different priories than you do.” Which is why it’s hard for you to understand that DJT voters are happy
@abarber1 What’s *the* singular priority of his 75m voters? That’s an absurd question since people obv have different priorities. But he is making fundamental changes to the military, the intel agencies, the fbi, ICE, DOE etc. I’m sure you disagree w the changes but again others do not
@fed_speak@devahaz@haralabob Sorry I mentioned that the bud light protest was peaceful but the Tesla protest is not. Seems like an important distinction but maybe not!
@devahaz@haralabob@fed_speak You’re probably wondering why anyone is making a big deal that cars are being vandalized. It’s a monthly occurrence for any car owner living in SF
@johndickson72@devahaz@haralabob@fed_speak If you think destroying something you bought is the same as destroying someone else’s property then you should probably stop trying to think. Your brain can’t handle it
@devahaz@haralabob@fed_speak And if they want to stop buying his cars like conservatives stopped buying bud light, that’s fine. Setting them on fire is not
