They won't vote for the legislation. Trump told them not to. And the base won't blame them or see any hypocrisy, because it's tied to $ for Ukraine. That's their "reason" and the base is in total agreement that the US shouldn't be funding Ukraine.
Never underestimate the power of right-wing propaganda. We have millions of Americans who now think Putin is a glorious world savior fighting against the evil Nazi Ukrainians.
Army Of "Wouldn't Recognize God If He Got In The Passenger Seat."
That's who they really are.
I hope she sticks it out. It's so amusing to see Trump lose his shit over this, and to see the party leader bow down to him.
Keep on going, Nikki.
Vaccines are not so diluted that they contain nothing of what they claim to contain---but homeopathic remedies are.
If OP is in the US, I wouldn't assume that he has access to healthcare he can afford.
This is the one circumstance in which I'd be proud to be called a Karen.
I can't even imagine how that is your take-away from my comment. If your very conservative family vote 3rd party, they are voting 3rd party. Not for Biden or Trump.
My comment is attempting to point out that 3rd party votes are going to have a consequence.
The thinking is that 3rd party votes will lessen the amount of votes Biden gets, thus allowing Trump to win.
You aren't actually adding a vote to Trump's tally, you are subtracting one from Biden.
Most of the Independents I know skew towards the Republican side anyway, so I'm just a little inclined to think a 3rd party vote will actually subtract from Trump's tally, but I'm just a little old blue lady down in Louisiana, so what do I know?
Your statement "that's your fucking problem to deal with, liberal" tells me you wouldn't vote for Biden even if he gave you another stimulus check. You sound like a staunch Republican to me, you just drew the line at Trump. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if you voted Trump once you're in the ballot box.
Do your thing dude.
My MIL watches Newsmax now, since Trump said Fox was liberal media.
She hasn't heard of a single gaffe Trump has made in his rallies. Hasn't heard of how he said Biden would start WWII, hasn't heard he said he ran against Obama in 2016, hasn't heard about how he accused Nicki Haley of refusing his offer to send 10,000 officers to the Capitol on Jan 6. No reports on how his speeches decend into word salad when he looks away from the teleprompter.
She HAS heard that Biden is doing nothing about the border, but not about Republicans refusing to pass Biden's border bill. She believes Biden is a fascist leading the country into communism, that Trump is a godly man, etc etc etc.
It's so hard to talk with her now. She used to be a far left liberal, burned her bra in the 60s, pushed for women's rights. Then she started watching Fox "News" and got brainwashed.
Some media may be making his idiocy/dementia/whateverthehelliswrongwithhim news, but a large chunk of the country doesn't ever see it.
Media who do report this stuff is preaching to the choir.
I actually agree with you much more than I disagree.
It's part of a family trust, meant to be passed on. Think 150 year old home that hasn't been renovated since the 60s.
It is near a university and has several bedrooms, so it's generating enough income to help pay her rent. It is literally worth more as a rental than a sell. And one day my poor kids will have to deal with this millstone around their necks.
If my MIL did sell, it would probably be torn down and replaced with an apt complex/student housing.
I am so sick of Republicans bowing down to Donald Trump. He is such a a vile man and yet they have done nothing but put him before the country.
