Shifting Views on the Government from Trump Supporters

article image placeholderUploaded by @sebc23
I wanted to hear from other people. How do they think that folks who are really heavily in support of Donald Trump are kind of justifying this complete 180 from wanting to really strengthen the federal government to the point even that some of them wanted to keep Donald Trump power past the length of his term versus right now. As he's being pursued by the new federal government. Being very upset about it. And even in a lot of cases. Arguing for the weakening of that government

I respect their perspective. I want to learn from them. These are not those people. These are very fringe, ill people that are getting a lot of coverage, and they shouldn't be getting coverage because that's the problem. The coverage distorts their power, distorts even the potential of them creating a civil war. And really, I'm so upset that we're giving them so much airtime

So I just can't imagine if you're that concerned with your privacy while you're posting on TikTok. But that's a whole different ball of wax that I won't even get into. But I will say, taking a step back, if you follow any politician for a considerable amount of time, you can probably find something that is very hypocritical that they have said at one time versus another

@DBPardes

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I actually completely agree with you because I think and I don't know why it didn't really occur to me as much before you said it. You know, I had definitely thought of people who are, you know, very devout Trump supporters as extremely fringe and also, in a lot of ways ill. But I appreciate your perspective on not dignifying everything that is done by these people with a response

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I appreciate hearing your perspective on it and learning that I'm not alone, for sure, in the ways that people people are very confused by this cognitive dissonance

And I find it mind boggling that so many Americans are willing to go down that path for a person who's been twice impeached, who has more indictments than any other administration has more indictments than any other administration in US. History
