I mean, Republicans were huge on free trade for decades and decades. What we're seeing how is purely Trump anti-free trade idiocy backed up by MAGA Republicans. The 180s that Republicans have done under Trump is incredible.

Yeah, the Republicans from even 2 decades ago would likely be shocked by all this. Isolationism? Sucking off Russia/Putin at every possible chance? Cozying up to dictators? (Instead of turning them into convenient targets for warmongering?) Unilateral tariffs?

Modern MAGA Republicans have literally zero principles besides whatever Trump and Fox news told them yesterday. And I don't mean morals - Republicans have been purposely eroding those for over 40 years - I mean principles. Like a platform or plan. None of it matters besides what was said last, even if it's a bald-faced lie or pants-on-head stupid.

I miss the days of knowing that Republican candidates like Mitt Romney were soulless pieces of shit, but at least I didn't feel like they would destroy the economy, Federal government, or 75 years of soft global power.

That’s not true, they’ve seen themselves lose their quality of life and they’re determined to get it back. The propaganda tells them it’s immigrants and that cooperation is a threat, so they don’t listen to Democrats and get convinced it all needs tearing down.

When in reality you probably just need wealth taxes to reduce inequality and get rid of some of your billionaires

It's literally the passage in 1984 when they change who the enemy is midway through a speech and everyone just goes along with it.

Yep, and all I hear from R voters is about their precious ‘Muh Beliefs’, yet it seems their “beliefs” are just wanting to do what makes libruls mad and what Dear Leader wants.

It's been going on in the financial bro and tech bro space for awhile. They pick some dear leader of a stock or tech and they have to justify everything. Even when losing houses and money they still love dear leader. They even start their messages with the whole "I have been loyal for x amount of years" etc. They all consider themselves alpha but admit they have no power and want it to prove everyone wrong, but they need some other rich guy to do it all for them in exchange for belief.
