Why do the folks on TheDonald still support Trump after he betrayed their trust by:
-
NOT having a military coup when he had it in his power to do so.
-
PUSHING a vaccine.
Especially #2. How do you folks from TheDonald reconcile this in your minds? How can you still trust him? How is he not possibly controlled opposition (e.g. still buddies with the Clintons) in your minds at this point? What do you make of the fact that everything he built during his first term is being dismantled? What if he knew that, and in his role as controlled opposition, he did knowing it was only temprorary?
Think folks.
I put the question here, because on TheDonald it's not going to go over well. As a different forum here, I think I can get some more honest answers.
I'm listening.
We're Canadian. We only peripherally care about what American politicians say.
Which is why I'm posing the question here. What has been your personal take on these two questions in the other forum (assuming you're following it)? How can they still support Trump after #1 and #2 in my previous post above? How do they reconcile it in their minds?
So you wanted Trump to overthrow the US like an African dictator? His support came from the people, most of the people in government were against Trump, so there's no way the US military would violate their oaths when those that sign their paychecks were against him.
Trump bragged about the vaccine, but he never 'pushed' it in the way you are suggesting. He recommended to talk to your doctor and that it was a personal choice. I don't have a problem with a vaccine, provided that I GET TO CHOOSE whether I have it or not.
Funny how the pro-choice "my body my choice" people are 100% OK with the government mandating vaccines. Its almost like they don't have principles or something...
You know that the "pro-choice" people make the same argument.
"Funny how the pro-life people are 100% OK with killing people. It's almost like they don't have principles or something."
I know that's not your argument, but how does that argument hold water? How are 'pro-lifers ok with killing people'?
Yes. I did want Trump to do that. Your system in the USA is broken beyond all hope of self-correction. As President he had a chance to do this. He had the legal and moral authority to do so.
There's no way the military would allow this. He can have all the 'moral' and 'legal' authority in the world, with no army there's no coup.
POTUS =/= Augustus
Trying to put myself into his shoes, and trying not to assume the worst, I suppose I could buy that he saw the writing on the wall, and took the lead to move it out into the public sooner to somehow reduce the harm it would do. An emergency crash landing of sorts. I don't know. That's the best case scenario in his favour.
