MAGA base voters love Trump’s reactionary and authoritarian nature. His economic promises are meant to encourage other voters to look the other way.

    Nearly three-quarters of Republicans, moreover, agreed that “since the 1950s, American culture and way of life has mostly changed for the worse.”

    Weird how the 1950’s is lauded as the last good decade in America to white conservatives. I wonder why. Did something happen in the decade following that pissed off a bunch of white conservatives? Maybe a some laws, acts or amendments they weren’t fans of? Hmmm.

      Here’s an idea: what if we bomb the hell out of every other industrialized nation again, so the US can enjoy another decade of easy economic dominance?

      With Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Palestine, we only need one more sizeable conflict to label it World War III, right?

        The issue is having simultaneous wars doesn’t make it one big war. The Korean war was much closer to WWIII because there were active troops from many countries fighting in 1 war, and superpowers opposing each other with troops, but it still wasn’t WWIII because it was contained to just the Korean front.
