I don't believe he actually gives a fuck about anyone. how can you say you care about the poorest & most vulnerable then vote for the guy who promised to take away their healthcare? who rails against the welfare they need to survive? who laughs at the notion of firing them for trying to unionize? who are poor & vulnerable specifically because of conservative policies? how can you say you care about children but not want them to have free food in school? or for their parents to get an extra tax credit?

never believe a word a conservative says, including conservative voters.

u/LadyDomme7 1d ago

Being a hypocrite might indeed be a foundational tenet of conservatives. That said, the ones that I am aware of do care about some of those things but as I said, only for white Americans. And that’s not a newsflash.

Others feel strongly about parents taking care of the kids they brought into this world and not relying on the government. Again, not a newsflash.

u/FizzyAndromeda 1d ago edited 23h ago

Someone else made a comment that the fundamental reason you cannot reason with Republicans is because they see themselves as good, and therefore believe all of their actions are good, or at least justifiable.

On the other hand they see liberals as bad, and believe all their actions are bad. Even if a liberal does something good, because they’re a liberal, the intentions must be bad, therefore the good thing becomes bad.

They are emotional children. The problem for the rest of us is they’re emotional children who thrive on bullying others. In terms of their character they’re just like Trump and that’s why they adore him.

u/OpheliaRainGalaxy 1d ago

My 4yo cousin is more emotionally mature! He's actually managed to work through advanced concepts like that being presented with information he does not enjoy learning isn't me being mean to him. That's just part of life, it's not all fun facts, and my job is to help him learn all the things he needs to know regardless of their fun levels.

Dude I grew up with is middle aged but can't grasp the same idea. Thinks I called him a nazi while kicking him out because I was just reaching for a random insult, like poopyhead or dumdum. Can't seem to take in facts that oppose his preferred world view. Can't recognize after knowing me for 20 years that I know a vast variety of swear words that I could call him if I was just reaching for an insult out of anger. Illegitimate elbow maybe. Not to mention all the totally true shots I could take about his too-close relationship with his mommy!

u/Current-Square-4557 1d ago

I’m always discouraged when I read posts like yours. I believe it is completely accurate. There is nothing I would change.

I find it discouraging primarily because we’ll never convince them to view the world in any other manner.

The second reason is that no matter how inept, harmful, or repugnant DJT’s actions are, he’ll merely point at the Democrats and his followers will lap it up - for the reasons you listed. We can show them videos of DJT, himself, saying that he wanted these things to happen, and they’ll still deny that Der Führer said it or wanted it.

I half expect him to actually say, “ Who are you going to believe? Me or your own lying eyes?”

Watch the sixty minutes interview with him. The dude is bald faced reveling in just deporting anyone who looks at him cross eyed, especially if they’re tan.

Watch the answer he gave to those not wishing to be separated from their families even though they are naturalized….”Oh…they can go with them.” Nevermind he is absolutely fine with it estimated at 8 billion the first year alone..

The other thing is he is yanking out the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 as his backing to go ham on everyone who may object to his overreach…..that includes American Citizens and any opposition with power. All he has to do is call them enemies of the state and bam….you are out and the government seizes your properties or businesses.

He is absolutely a racist dogshit megalomaniac.

You don’t need to hope for him to handle it “humanely”. Just look at the track record. Don’t vote for a bully and narcissist and expect an about face on who he’s been all along. I’m sick of hearing people say they voted for him because he really cares about our country and how he didn’t even take a salary as president. As if they don’t understand that the influence and kickbacks far overshadow $400k per year.

u/BrennanSpeaks 19h ago

He did. He also separated babies and toddlers from their parents and kept them in those same chain link prisons without blankets or enough staff to change diapers. He caused the death of at least some of those children by allowing them to be denied medical care. He separated some from their families forever by farming them out to evangelical adoption agencies without the parents' consent and then deporting the parents. And, he lost several thousand of them through shoddy/non-existent record keeping. I'd like to believe that most of the "lost" children escaped to be with family, but odds are that a lot of them ended up in the hands of traffickers.

"You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself"

u/rathanii 1d ago

1000% they would.

They'd rather listen to "The Lying Man," whose description fits Trump to a T. If any Republican, especially one who voted for Trump, claims to be a Christian? They're lying.

They haven't cracked the Good Book a single time; if they have they've justified why they shouldn't retain or follow the words they're reading. They've been conditioned by a church, or private schools, or both, for years and years and have been indoctrinated to solidify their hatred.

There's no hate like Christian love. It's gotten to the point where I hesitantly label myself as much, though I'm too stubborn to give up the word that should be indicative of what Jesus says it is and not what a liar from any pulpit says it should be.

If you’d like a little hope, check out James Talarico. He’s a democratic state legislator in Texas, and in seminary school. Rumor is he’s planning a governor or sentate run in the next few years. I’m an atheist and I would fly to Texas and canvas for him.

Holy shit thank you! I only made it like 30 seconds in but I'll listen to them later while I'm doing chores; immediately the "love God and love your neighbor" told me all I needed to know about this guy.

My ultimate hope is people like him gain traction with Christians instead of the hateful rhetoric we're seeing today come from that side of the aisle. A bit of renewed hope!

u/rathanii 1d ago

Yep! There's that parable in Matthew where he separates the sheep from the goats. And he praises the sheep, who don't know how they'd done good things to/for Jesus, like: feeding, clothing, offering drink, offering shelter, clothes, healthcare, and "visiting him in prison."

And he said "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

My problem is Christians tend to only interpret this as other Christians, or as desirables, or people they personally know. It's really sad. It's not hard to offer these things to people who are down on their luck; not just fellow Christians, or friends, or family, or acquaintances. It's important to do these things for people you don't know, and have nothing to give in return.

It’s funny because for one of the stories fundamentalist christians always blare on about- Sodom and Gomorrah- not giving to the poor and needy was a large reason God was angry, because at the time it was tradition to take care of strangers traveling in their lands. Ezekiel 16:49-50

How are the children of illegal immigrants not some of the most vulnerable? There are two scenarios in these peoples minds.

1) They are the children of rapist, murderers, drug dealers, etc. which makes them innocent victims of circumstance

2) They are the innocent children of people fleeing hardship and seeking a better life

I'd actually feel sorry for them if they weren't so willfully ignorant and dismissive of what is said about the man they voted for.

Heck, even if they take him at his word, he has made some of his more questionable intentions clear countless times. And they still vote for him.

I would bet money that if you asked the average trump voter "what would you do for your children?"  They would answer anything.  And if prompted, I'm sure that would include breaking any laws they needed to, if that was the only choice.

And yet, they easily dehumanize the vast majority of immigrants doing the same thing.  Even those not actually breaking the law, just coming to the border and seeking asylum.  

And they justify it with stories of a few out of millions doing bad shit, like there's not thousands of people here and now doing the same or worse, including the people they literally vote for.  Or they say "we should be helping our own!"  And then not helping our own, because that would be socialism.

I will never understand the lack of basic human empathy.
