It's real simple why people vote for Trump. Tribalism, pure and simple. Conservatives are hardwired to fear being different and not part of their tribe, so they will do the bidding of anyone to remain in their tribe. This includes the stupid one upsmanship you see when someone like Noem says something incredibly stupid the rest of us, but logical to the tribe. She is basically showing how she is a member and not only a member, but a better member than the last person who said something stupid. You see it in kids on the playground all the time, but most outgrow it. The conservative ones that don't become Trump voters.Well said.
I cannot wait until he fucking dies.His funeral is going to be insane. It will probably be similar to when Kim Jong Un's dad died in North Korea
The cosmic fascist ballet goes on...Pretty much every conservative I know is acting like eggs are cheap just because they are cheaper than they were at the beginning of the year. Even though they are still more expensive than they were for most of the Biden years when they were "too high"
Continue as you were America, how bout' dem egg prices amiright?

Prices keep going up for everything, I work at a market & every week prices are just a bit higherAt my store eggs are currently the cheapest they have been all year, 2.99 for the cheap eggs, which were 3.49 in January and went all the way up to 5.99 in May/June when prices started falling. I know the prices depend on where you live. That's not counting sales where I have seen them as low as 1.99.

By G-d I'll fight till hell freezes over and then I'll cut the ice and fight on.

It's a little bit of tribalism, people growing up in really sanitized Christian communities and the behavior of Fox News and Conservative radio post 9/11. They went all in on "YOU'RE NOT AN AMERICAN IF YOU'RE NOT ON THE SIDE OF THE AMERICAN TROOPS YEEE HAW LET GOD SORT EM OUT" while Operation Enduring Freedom was happening.Thank you for saying this. Ive been saying for years that 9/11 was the turning point of the political divide in the US and I realized it was happening in real time back then. My parents didnt notice because they werent exactly politically savvy. My mom is now, but my dad is still politically ignorant. Or I should say hes a complete moron when it comes to the reality of politics.
Like France wouldn't support an Iraq Invasion and some places changed "French Fries" into "Freedom Fries".
9/11 also ruined journalism because that's around the time they slowly decided they'd rather be always on cable news than actually good journalists. 9/11 is really a historical turning point for so many fuckin' reasons. Worse news media, slow emergence of outrage culture and right wing media talking heads like Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson, the distrust over the government over it happening at all which created the fuckin' proto MAGA loonies in the Tea Party. Which started with "fiscal conservatives" around 2002 talking about needing lower taxes and less government spending and exploded with Obama tried to pass the Homeowners Affordability and Stability Plan.
And then it all combined with the anti-intellectual Young Earth Creationists to create the most misinformed, addlepated, anti-working family, socially conservative group of voters and politicians in the modern age in the Western Hemisphere. Because voters with a lesser education in more Christian towns after 9/11 were mad about "taxes" and the black guy was trying to do some shit about housing mortgages.
It still boggles my mind how such a pos managed to become president not just once, but twice. Like seriously, how can anyone read this scribbel and think "Yeah, that's my man!".
