... are Republicans trying to make Trump into the moderate alternative?
Trump’s competitors can only seem to differentiate themselves by posturing as having the least humanity and regard for human life.
They're reading the room. Most Republicans want that now. Not most voters though.
Yes, only 47% of the voting population supported this as of 2020.
Trump said "you have to kill their families"- this is actually moderate by comparison
This isn't exactly something Trump would never say. Heck I bet he's already said something similar in the past.
Isn't that exactly what Putin does? He runs all of the opposition parties to himself that are so far out, he appears as the moderate choice? And as we all know Republicans get all of their playbook from the Russian one.
soooooooo.... drugs in the us get in by backpack? it seems to me he's saying to his supporters that Florida gov is going to shoot on Mexicans just because...
and well, you know, if you yourself shoot someone...
i was listening to radio a few days back, and this us writer said something along the line "I fear that an American (he was meaning us citizen) is no longer admired, so in my story I ..."
admired? are people from us really convinced that there's a sort of consensus by which united states people were/are admired?
Some of us, yes absolutely.
Form of nationalism / hyper pride / drinking the kool aid that America is the perfect nation.
My backwards ass family is convinced. In reality they're the type of people the rest of the world laughs at.
you're welcome to read them my comment, maybe only just to annoy then or for shit and gigs. if you do, would you please give some feedback? ty
Yup, those that say that we are the best country in the world typically have not left the US for more than a week at a time. It also fuels their xenophobia and the thought that resourceful immigrants that are taking the initiative to seek out a better life are somehow less than human.
may I ask you to stop using the kool aid metaphor and start using the term propaganda (if you think it'd be more effective, for example) ? just saying, eh.
EDIT: downvote, but please explain, or ask me to explain. what kind of exchange is it otherwise?
It's a reference to the followers of Jimmy Jones who upon being asked consumed poison laced kool-aid. I think it's a rather fitting statement
Flavor-Aid; it wasn't even name-brand cyanide.
oh finally I got some backstory on this. anyways my intent is to move away from pop culture. but I get your point, and I thank you
I'm curious, why the desire to do such? Pop culture provides one of the biggest methods to allow for social cohesion amongst various social circles
pop culture it's also a resonance chamber, where you get used to messages, finally losing deeper, inner meaning, in my opinion. propaganda, the term itself, won't lose its meaning and, again in my opinion, ends being more effective. ty for asking
Yes, and it varies between the gung-ho “AMERICA FIRST” people and the “well, at least it’s not (insert 3rd world country here) because they got no freedoms” people.
As an American, I do not consider being American a point of pride. I’d rather tell people across the pond what state I’m from before telling people that I’m from America so I can distance myself from the US specifically, if that makes sense.
I got your point and I can't find anything to add to what you wrote.
What even is “pro-life” at this point?
A bullet point.
“At the border” is completely unnecessary
Note that "at the border" in Florida means one of the following:
Georgia
Alabama
The Atlantic Ocean
He means Florida is gonna annex part of Mexico
Wakes up, sips coffee, makes loud, proud declarations against the Geneva Conventions. Yep, this is the modern GOP.

So desperate.
