Hello everyone, I’m very new to lemmee and I noticed that the conservative community here is a bit more moderate than the subreddit so I figured I’ll ask ; Are you satisfied with what Trump has been doing since he took office ? If yes, are you okay with everything or are you critical of some of his decisions ? If no, why and what did he do that you have not voted for ? I must inform you that I am not american but like the rest of the world, I am confused by the direction your contry is taking. No judgement or anything, just curious. Thanks to anyone who answers.

    A friend of mine asked this on one of his social media pages. This was one of the responses he got:

    Yes, we are very happy with what Trump is doing. I am not worried about disdain. Ninety percent of people I know voted for Trump for the same reasons I did. We are $2 trillion in debt with waste fraud and abuse running rampant in our government. Leftists are pushing transgender ism on our teenagers and I know this because I teach in public school and l’m not part of the union but still get publications from them. They are pushing for men to compete in women’s sports. DEl is a complete disaster for what should be obvious… instead of equal opportunity it’s forced equal outcome. The immigration system is a complete mess with millions coming over our border unvetted, while 400,000 children are sex - trafficked and people are killed by fentanyl. In Springfield, Ohio near to where we live, 30,000 Haitian immigrants have taken over a lot of of the city, are driving without drivers licenses, are flooding into the schools that can’t even handle the influx. In many cities, homeless people have totally taken over police departments, sleeping on floors and crime has gone up greatly. The previous president admitted to getting millions from our adversaries around the world and doesn’t even have a defense for it and can’t say what service he provided to get this money… the left censored our speech during the Biden era and lied to us about the vaccine, etc. That administration was the most corrupt in history. We teachers can no longer discipline in schools. I could go on and write chapters on everything!

    It made me equal parts sad and infuriated to read that. This person has absorbed so much propaganda, accepted tons of misinformation as fact, and fallen for just about every moral panic currently out there.

        And the previous one, too. Holy shit did he press the pedal last time. I can only imagine what he’s doing now.

        I’m starting to think that most trumpers will never be deprogrammed.

        Like any cult, it’ll collapse after the cult leader dies.

        But they’ll just be reprogrammed by another cult leader. There will be Trump copycats for the rest of our lives now. So another cult leader will arise. And conservatives will be waiting with open mouths for that person to shit into.

        Good news on that front. Have you been following the news about the Murdoch empire and the irrevocable trust Rupert set up?

            Essentially, the last ruling–which will surely be appealed–is that the irrevocable trust is irrevocable. That means that Rupert’s empire, when he dies, will be controlled jointly by all of his children that are part of the trust. And the children that are part of the trust skew strongly left/center left, except for the son that Rupert was trying to transfer all of the control to. So when Murdoch dies, it’s highly likely that Fox will very quickly change course because it’s no longer going to be controlled by someone that’s as conservative as a Nazi.

      I was actually in Springfield a couple summers ago and a takeover is laughable. There are issues of driving without license/insurance and those should be addressed (if they haven’t already been).

      I have family living also not far from springfield and have heard none of the other nonsense. Some institutions are stressed because of an influx of people, but they’re also working jobs that needed workers; the origin of those workers would have zero bearing on that.

        Not surprised that the reality is stupidly overblown and people claim to believe every word of it.
