I can't bring myself to read any of their sites. But I know some here monitor them.
What kinda of tortured twisted are they putting themselves through?
Thanks

(10,207 posts)Voting for Trump. Only 3 or 4 people out of several. They are arguing with the remaining MAGATs. Ive seen people post Why are people so angry or hate Musk for saving the country money? On my Facebook. I have a ready-made response back to them:
Him cutting programs for Children with Cancer, aid to starving people around the world, 80,000 veterans losing their jobs, the 37.6 million children losing their healthcare, school lunches for children, stopping war crimes, the kidnapping of Ukrainian children, withholding money from state police. And ripping off everyones Social Security. They will either get rid of it all together or privatize it and screw it up.
I may have to update this to add what he has done since I wrote this.

I havent been over to Freeper land in a long time mainly because it horrible to navigate or follow along with conversations.
From what Ive seen on Twitter, the standards are:
Give it time.
Hes all knowing.
He's winning! (regardless of whats happening)
Thats what I voted for! (again regardless)
Im not retiring for x years. Im sure it will be fine by then.
And my favorite , Who looks at their 401k everyday???

$5.50 for a dozen eggs was insufferable - losing the last 5 years of investments and returns is just a little suffering. These fucking idiots.

(22,823 posts)imaginary invisible strategies. But they aren't saying much at all about the failure and back-peddling of the tariffs.
If any of their members are turning away from maga they're not posting it there.

I checked in again after the pause was announced. I shit you not, the very same people were saying "its the Art of the Deal". Despite no deal being reported and reports were nations were working to get around the USA.
I have some relatives that just make up shit on the fly to explain thier illogical views...they sounded just like them.
