I recently talked to a Trumper that was kind of like this. I didn’t argue with him, I just asked what Trump had done that he liked, and why he liked it. To his credit, he actually had something to say! He started talking about a recent push from Trump for private companies to build their own power plants, emphasizing renewables and small scale nuclear power. And it’s true, I haven’t seen this on the news much, if at all. I tried to explain to him that you don’t hear about such things because its nothing more than a performance. No private company is going to foot the bill for a small scale, SAFE, nuclear reactor. It’s prohibitively expensive with the upfront costs. Renewables are also unlikely to be able to produce the power demanded by these tech companies.
He went on about how the cost would be driven down because Trump was going to get the EPA off their back. When I asked him if he knew what the precipitating event was for the formation of the EPA, he didn’t know. I told him about the Cleveland, Ohio river fire, and tried to explain how the EPA was necessary. He flipped out on me and the discussion ended.

They like the racist posts. That’s why they put up with the rest of it. Sadly, that’s all it takes for them. Rubber Stamp their hateful narrow mindedness and you could get the deed to their houses.

MAGA dumb as rocks
they like the memes and being assholes “oWnInG tHe LiBRuhLS” if you ask them about more than two questions about trumps policies they crumble
I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve read or heard some variation of “I don’t like X, but I don’t blame Trump, it’s the people around him…”
Like they’re pathologically incapable of attributing any responsibility to him, even as they insist he’s in total control. Total cult.

Go on. The longer you talk like that the more certain the rest of us can be …
Name 3
Don’t lie to yourself, they love the racist posts and election denial.
