These republicans certainly will never vote Democrat, no matter how many times the GOP betrays them. Some of them, however, might choose not to vote in upcoming elections, which could be key to retaking control.

They won’t have to vote for trump ever again. But when JD takes trump’s power, the 10 commandments will be posted in every public restroom with an additional commandment to honor thy sovereign.

Sure. Let’s see how they vote next year.

His track record has shown he wouldn’t do any of the beneficial things he has campaigned for. They shouldn’t be surprised. If they are, maybe some critical thinking will help them next time.

Well then fucking do something about it.

They would vote for him again because no matter how bad a republican politician is the Democrat is worse in their eyes. Can you imagine if people were allowed to be lgbtq+, brown, or a woman.

But they’ll still vote R in 2026, not to worry.

The cult leader himself doesn’t care, he already got their vote and that’s all he needed to do the damage he wanted, he renewed his tax cuts, made it so he can’t get in trouble while in office and enriched himself even more with his scamming and crypto, the rest of his term is just just gravy so he can destroy more things, make normal folks lives harder and more expensive, these people who voted for him are to blame for all this but they aren’t too smart to begin with.

Then why did they vote for it?

Most autocrats start off by improving things for a while. trump swung right into wrecking the economy.

If only they could read, they might have been warned of this inevitable outcome.

What economy? He’s robbing us blind!

Trump convinced his faith-based, knuckle dragging cult that putting a 15% tax on everything we buy, and then giving that money to billionaires, would tame inflation and bring down prices and benefit everyone!!! Now he’s bailing out the soybean farmers with our healthcare money. He’s displaying the same financial savvy that he used to bankrupt six of his corporations.

He ran on starting trade wars. What the fuck economy did they think they were voting for? Perhaps take a minute out of your life and learn about what you’re voting for instead of treating democracy like a sports team. No one who voted for him is allowed to be shocked.

What Republicans they love Trump and would vote for all of this again.

Good. They should.

„Four in 10 Republicans say he portrays prices and inflation as better than they really are. This group was also more likely to say prices are going up.“
Not enough.

But for some reason they keep referring to it as „Biden’s economy“

1. “No respect for the Constitution / said he didn’t have to uphold it.”
– If a president or elected official openly stated they don’t have to uphold the Constitution, that would be deeply concerning. All federal officials—including the President—are required by law to swear an oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
– Such a statement would not in itself overturn the Constitution, but it could be used as political or legal evidence of misconduct.
2. “Citizens detained by ICE and not allowed to contact anyone for days.”
– ICE has detained U.S. citizens by mistake in the past, and civil rights groups have successfully sued over it. Detaining a U.S. citizen without allowing communication or legal counsel would violate constitutional protections, including due process.
– Such cases can be challenged in federal court and often draw media and watchdog attention.
3. “Firing military generals who investigate his billionaire friends.”
– The President has the authority to relieve or reassign military officers, but if it’s done to obstruct justice, it could be grounds for investigation or impeachment.
– Whistleblower protections exist in the military and intelligence communities for this reason.
4. “Targeting universities and law firms.”
– Retaliating against institutions for political reasons can violate the First Amendment (especially if federal funding or investigations are weaponized). This would likely be challenged in court.
5. “Defunding ICE.”
– ICE is funded through congressional appropriations. A president can propose cuts, but Congress must approve them. Defunding ICE would require legislative action.
6. “Making billions off crypto scams / defying judges.”
– If a sitting president or senior official were involved in fraud or ignoring court orders, this would be criminal and impeachable. It would also almost certainly trigger major media coverage and legal investigations.
