    Hell yeah they are doing exactly what they said they would and thats why the majority of americans voted for him. You know unlike our last horrendous administration that couldn’t even pass a student debt forgiveness that he promised.

      Sometimes I can’t believe some Americans are really this stupid, then users like yourself remind me they’re even stupider.

              I’m ambivalent. While it’s hard to believe Americans are this stupid, I lived in the US for a time and met several with this caliber of intelligence.

                People believe what they want to believe and what they are told to believe.

                The Trump administration have all since figured out that if you repeat your lies over and over eventually people believe it for the truth. Honestly it started with Bush in 2000 and was the culmination of decades of conservative conditioning starting with Reagan.

                While I understand that some people are frustrated by those in power and their unwillingness to help tue common working class, they don’t have the mental capacity, desire to understand, or vocabulary to express their frustrations. They can only parrot the garbage they see on Fox News that currently has them riled up about the “gov’mint bad” narrative.

        Same way I feel about you, the only difference is we are the majority and you are not. Democracy is amazing!

          Mate, I’m not an American. Plus your lot isn’t even the majority in your country. Do you need a non-American to explain how your voting system works, or is it the complex addition and subtraction that’s confusing you?

          Maybe try not sniffing glue before responding next time?

            It might be beneficial for you to seek support, as engaging with these posts seems to be causing significant frustration. It’s important to approach discussions with a clear and constructive perspective, as repeatedly responding without presenting well-supported points can detract from meaningful dialogue.

      It’s frustrating that so many people downvote this sort of thing rather than considering it. It’s like if you say anything at all other than TRUMP NAZI ELON NAZI REPUBLICAN NAZI ALL BAD you are obviously wrong and fuck you.

      Trump may be an asshole. He may be a horrible president. But during the campaign he promised to hack and slash away at the federal government, and that’s exactly what he’s doing. It may be a bad idea, it may cause a ton of its own problems, but he is doing exactly what he promised his voters.

      Democrats need to learn some hard truths from this. Specifically, that while life may be great up in the ivory tower, the people on the street are hurting. The people on the street are angry that their struggle has been ignored and marginalized for so long. And when people with two incomes are struggling to afford groceries, they will always vote for the guy who says ‘there’s a problem and I want to fix it’ over the person who says ‘everything’s peachy’.

      That doesn’t make them racist or sexist or Nazi. It makes them desperate.
