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.
So that person’s echo chamber are still supporting Trump, which makes it okay for them to do so? I’m starting to think that most trumpers will never be deprogrammed. It would take dismantling their news sources, for one thing. That’s not going to happen.
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.
I hope you’re wrong. The funny thing is that Trump kind of crosses boundaries. He’s rich but so obviously stupid and bumbling that he’s somehow relatable to the working classes, even in England. I guess he doesn’t have the intellectualism/arrogance (noticeable in speech) which a lot of smart and/or wealthy people have. He also enjoys drama and cheap entertainment, which i think the working classes enjoy more than dignified politics.
I don’t think those qualities are very common among those seeking power, luckily, so any successor might really struggle to be as successful, since trump is only riding on charisma, delusions and lies. Plus surely some consequences will have hit by then. Hopefully people will be alert for the threat of another trump for a couple of generations at least. It’s looking like things will get much worse before he’s ejected.
Good news on that front. Have you been following the news about the Murdoch empire and the irrevocable trust Rupert set up?
I read a bit about it days ago but it’s too much to hope that anything good will come of it… Unless there’s more recent news?
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.
Good news but he could last for years and I really can’t see Trump allowing it, assuming he’s still dicktatortot
