Are Trump supporters just fueled by Racism & Hate? (lemmy.world)

Gonna keep this short and straight to the point, we all know how they act.

With trump siding with the Tech Bros Billionaires on immigration, even after his most die hard supporters were against it. I see several MAGAS just falling in line with Elon calling them stupid and that’s why we need more educated and qualified people to take these better jobs (whilst we’re on the cusp of deleting the Department of Education).

Anyone with functions eyes and ears can tell you they’ve been played, but they’re still deeply loyal to trump even though he back tracking on one of his biggest (and few) positions. Without mass deportations or hawkish immigration laws. What the hell does trump even offer to these people other than the occasional dog whistles they love?

  1. Like shit. Still, better than the alternative.

  2. Reagan and his admin banned an entire classification of fire arms, with the 1986 "Firearm Owners Protection Act". The Democrats banned common guns and features with the 1994 AWB. And still, better bump stocks than another AWB.

  3. He simply doesn't have the power to ban abortions federally, and frankly, I worry for when the democrats come back into power, so I'd rather he not have that power. I'll take what I can get when it comes to abortion.

  4. What's the question on H1Bs?
