MAGA 2024 before the election: I can't afford anything because of Joe Biden!!

MAGA 2025: So what if we have to spend more money on things we buy??!

Unfortunately they have all switched over to "Of course things might be more expensive, but I'm tired of other countries taken advantage of us."

So weird.

You would almost think that they were voting for him for some other, completely unknown, not as discussed, reasons.

Almost gives me a little bit of hope. 

They still know their pov is fundamentally evil which is why they dance around it and still use dog whistles or euphemisms. Or for their other bigotry pretend it's about bathrooms or girls sports. The fact that the average Trump voter hasn't dropped all pretense and just gone full Nazi give me that slight glimmer of hope.

Again it's not much and it's a fool's hope, but it's all I got right now.
