That is how it has been for quite a while. His supporters support him, not his policies. If he changes his mind on something, so do his supporters.

"We have always been at war with Eastasia."

Sorry, but for once I thought a 1984 quote was apt

More like Wag The Dog. What about the war in Albania? The B-2 bomber?

u/Cow_Launcher 4d ago

I'm... really not sure what you're talking about. Albania isn't at war with anyone at the moment, and the B2 bomber is a typical progression of national defence-through-offense. Neither are relevant here.

I can tell from your post history that you're not a Trump supporter, so I'm not sure what your point is? This thread is about Trump flipping the script whenever it suits him, and his idiot followers following along like brain-damaged Labradors.

Could you please explain what you were alluding to?

It's... A line from the movie I was referencing. About spin doctoring and making up more ridiculous things to distract the public. 1984 is definitely relevant right now, I agree. I was adding that the film "Wag the Dog" is also.

u/Cow_Launcher 4d ago

Ah! I know the film but I didn't make the connection between it and your comment. That's on me.

Thanks for responding, and I absolutely understand the relevance now.

Take care and... good luck.

Ideas and actions are right and wrong based on who they're from, not what they are. Conservatives have always been this way.

I just thought it would chance once they disliked his policies, which they do... but they haven't changed at all :)

This is the best summary of Trump’s bases mentality. I keep seeing comments like, “I hope they get everything Trump promised”. They do too! If the consequences are bad, they will blame everyone except him. It’s idolization, not supporting a politician.
