Niland is a good person but is he a moron? Are all the people who plaster the news and social media with “did you hear the terrible thing Trump said, how can anybody support him” morons?
I don’t want to offend anybody but we are approaching the tenth anniversary of the “what Trump said pastime”, and I don’t have another explanation for people still engaging in it than their clinical idiocy.
Trump supporters care about reality (in particular, their daily reality) more than what anybody said. Their rational self-interest matters more than words. They know that with Trump, gas was at under $2, there was no inflation, illegal immigration was 1/3 what it is now, and the global situation was enormously calmer. And that matters to them more than what anybody said.
To be clear: I have no plans to vote for Trump in 2024. I don’t believe he’ll give me what I want on the issues I care about because he didn’t do it in the first term. But I can’t get over the absolutely idiotic approach of the people who keep getting scandalized by what Trump said.
Obama never said stupid things about magnets. But he let Russia invade Ukraine. He disarmed Ukraine and refused to sign the bill passed by Congress to send weapons to Ukraine. Today, I hear how yet another Russian missile killed two kids in the Donetsk region, and what the bloody fuck do I care about magnets? Russia took not an inch of Ukrainian territory when Trump was president. But Trump doesn’t know how magnets work, so to hell with those dead Ukrainians, murdered under Obama and Biden but not Trump, right?
To come to people with these magnets after the full-scale invasion, the inflation, October 7, immigration numbers – it’s an insult. And these people consider themselves smart. “Ha ha, I know how magnets work.”
Do you know how your bank account works, genius? Maybe concentrate on that, and let magnets sort themselves out.
The world in 2019, a year before the election, was extraordinarily better than the world a year before the next election. That’s what matters and not magnets.
