How can anyone support Republicans anymore
Because a large part of Americans are pieces of human shit.
Or are brainwashed with Republican owned media, which is most news networks and various things with news in the title. I've met and talked to people who are Republican and most are inadvertantly ignorant; they try and keep up with what's happening but because of where they look they end up with misrepresenting and missing pieces. Left News is also missing pieces, so people tend to talk past each other, which doesn't help either.
No.
If you support harming others who have done nothing other than exist, you can't blame brainwashing. You're not a good person, full stop.
The truth is that a large portion of humans are stupid, selfish, hateful, pieces of shit. It's why brainwashing works on them; it's just directing them, not actually changing them.
Right. But that's why they're fed the excuses "they broke the law coming into the country!" "they committed a crime!" "they had gang tattoos!" when they overstayed a visa or applied for asylum, were unjustly convicted, or had autism awareness tattoos. But they're fed lies, so in their minds it's justified.
"Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
This is why it is an individual's responsibility to be critical of their own and others' motivations, to attempt awareness of manipulations by others and our own self-deceptions.
Even the best of my countrymen are not good at any of these things, but people that do not even make the attempt certainly seem to skew toward MAGA.
The Republican Party has been voting for defunding education every chance they can for over fifty years. They’ve also gotten away with being called conservatives when they aren’t socially conservative (voting for pervy Don) or fiscally conservative (in office for every economic downturn). The fools still calling them that might as well call them the angel kisses party of happiness.
You can probably be brainwashed into being a bad person, so por qué no los dos, ya know? Everything you mentioned works together in its shittiness.
No, I couldn't.
Dude for real look at what Fox is spoonfeeding them some day
Not too long ago I would have agreed with you. But at some point, I realized I grew up in the same environment they did, surrounded almost entirely by Republican Christian nationalist propaganda, and I saw past it by listening to the people it was targeting. They might be brainwashed, but they can still choose to listen to other people also, but they don't, so their ignorance is their own fault.
Think of how stupid the average conservative is, then remember, half of them are stupider than that.
all of the MSM are owned by conservatives, is there even source of "left leaning news", i never heard of one.
Msnbc
the onion is about as factual as the right wing news and is pretty left leaning
try to* keep up
The MAGA members I know are totally down to send folks off to foreign prisons. They don't think the laws or bill of rights apply to "illegals." How do they know the person the federal law enforcement officers have detained is the right "illegal" without going to court? They don't care.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
Because the republican mantra is "not my problem if it isn't happening to me".
You also overestimate how much people pay attention to current events. Most voters have no idea what's going on.
I think republicans would say this amendment was just political theater. Trump is not allowed to deport US citizens. It is already against the law, so why create an amendment that just doubles down on the current law?
That said, when Trump deports a US citizen, or even threatens it, republicans should do something to stop it.
I can see this. Thing is, us citizens were already deported. Sure they were kids, but that doesn't and shouldn't mean boo. US citizens are US citizens. This just proves that they can't be trusted!
