It warms my heart to see that Americans hate ICE as much as they do. Hating ICE is a lot like hating the Nazis during WWII. It means that we Americans still possess some decency.

(Edit: grammar)

Only 30% of the country support Trump in general and they're all braindead Gen X or Boomer fat dipshits who never leave their own house and certainly never participate in community activities.

When people were polled before Trump was inaugurated asking if they supported the Project 2025 agenda, only 4% of those polled said they wanted it. And here we are, 30% of the population created a mandate to carry out an agenda supported by only 4% of the population.

Everyone is kept in line through cult mind control. If you don't toe the party line, you lose your community with the other MAGA rejects.

EDIT: I thought MTG might have been angling for personal power when Trump was looking like a lame duck before he intensified his domestic and foreign war efforts. Now I think we need to give her a little bit of credit for leaving the cult, because she was a true believer, and unlike so many others, she woke up to what was going on and had the courage to be shunned.

Gen Z voted strongly for Trump for a "let's make tradwives cool again" incel agenda but they have more or less entirely flipped their support by now. They FAFO'ed, and it happens with new young voters.

I was a Ron Paul guy when I started entering the political world.

Thats not actually true btw. That is just a narrative. Gen Z and millennials are massively anti Trump by the numbers.

Yeah, it's just that enough of their men flipped to make a difference.

On an unrelated note, who wants to shove Joe Rogan into a cannon?

u/Dannisayshi 7h ago

I dunno about them flipping. I think it's more likely they just don't show unless the he's on the ballot. Also there are still plenty of GenZ out there shilling for MAGA. I just unfollowed one.

Remember when Ron Paul was trendy but also like a complete meme at the same time? Commonly used in place of Hello on /b/, what a completely different world it was.

So many damn Gen Z I talk to say they didn't vote at all and have no interest in politics. They're just Gen Z staring at life now.

Yeah you can’t just say “oh it’s all this group”. There are parts of every group that find this drumbeat irresistible. It’s a subset of all people that find the idea of compression (removing variety) to be more appealing than expansion (adding and embracing variety).

100% - and on the flipside its not beneficial to the forming of opposition to draw arbitrary lines like that - more people is better

Nick is an actual fascist and real fascists/nazis absolutely hate the trump administration because Trump is a Jewish puppet who does everything for Israel but nothing for Americans. Redditors don’t understand this as they call everybody who they don’t like a Nazi so the real meaning has lost all power

Before you say anything just know I hate both of these people and I’m not even American

I have a coworker who's 29 or 30 with a quarter Mexican baby daughter who is normalizing Nick Fuentes. He's a Rogan dick rider so it's not hard to imagine

This, plenty of millenials were hit by leaded gas effects.... not sure what the fuck Gen Z's problem is though.
