    Trump could propose universal healthcare & many on the left would suddenly hate the idea of everyone having healthcare.

      I have never seen so many downvotes on this platform. Also why do you write such nonsense, do you truly believe that or are you simply trolling ?

      Also, you are a big silly.

        Its called projection. They automatically hate anything the other side does because they have no actual principles, so they assume the otherside would act the same.

      Where are you seeing this? I sort of see the opposite.

      For example, Hasan Piker, one of the most popular leftist streamers, has a MAGA hat that he puts on when they do something right.

        As always, the party of projection is unable to understand that the rest of us actually aren’t tribalist twits.

      No, but most of us would be sceptical of how he’ll implement it, if it ever comes to pass at all… He’s announced a number of things I’ve actually agreed with and I can’t think of a single time he’s not found some way to fuck it up

      you’re getting loads of downvotes, but I honestly think it’s mostly from people who feel called-out on some level that we all, as a society, have long abandoned wanting better outcomes and just want emotional validation.

      This is the trick that Russia and other entities amplified in our social media spaces and forums, the raw emotions and anger that leaves people making choices based on feelings rather than solid understanding of politics.

      I mean, it’s too late now, it all worked and got people so distracted that we let the coyote in to guard the henhouse. But I mean, ideally yah we would need to put some better effort into separating how we feel from what we really want. That ship has sailed a long time ago, leftists are as delusional as the right now, but in a different direction. RIP democracy.
