A funny thing happened on the way to MAGA.

You're lying. See post #7.

I don’t need to mire myself in liberal loser speak…you’re OP was clear enough, and to that you get this…

It's unfortunate you see advocacy for compromise as loser speak. trump feels that way too. Which is why he keeps failing.

Liberals never compromise...Liberal compromise means do it their way...The answer is NO.

What a waste.

I think it's entirely possible that the flock hasn't been told about the global and domestic damage that has been done.

It's not like they're going to go outside their little world out of curiosity.

I have a life. I don't spend 24/7 thinking about which new anti-Trump posts I'm going to post today.

It didn't have to be this way. trump could have built on the momentum on the border created by Biden's EO making the qualifications for asylum protection much more stringent. Despite the lies (open borders) and exaggerations (an invasion) of the problem, the public wanted to see a tougher approach to illegal immigration. Then Abrego Garcia happened.

It didn't have to be this way. trump could have taken debt reduction seriously by reaching across the aisle to engage with Dems on entitlement program reform and a reduction in the defense budget. The only programs with spending large enough to make real headway. Then had someone address reduced spending on other programs in a meticulous, considered way. But DOGE happened instead.

It didn't have to be this way. He could have named qualified nominees to staff his admin with expertise in the agencies they would lead. People intent on making those agencies work competently, and professionally, for all Americans. Then RFK, Hegseth, Bondi, Gabbard, Patel, etc., happened.

It didn't have to be this way. trump could have put his grievances aside and concentrated on improving life for everyone in the country. Claiming he would fix inflation on day one was just a ridiculous campaign promise that was always going to be impossible to fulfill. But he could have made a show of it, at least pretending to care. Then the tariffs happened. Then they didn't. Then they did. Now, who knows?

The opportunity for genuine success was there. He squandered it. Instead focusing on retribution, abject cruelty, and a dystopian view of the world. Resulting in ineptitude, chaos, rampant illegality, alienation, with constantly large and small protests all over the nation. trump's actions all being in the pursuit of absolute power while remaking America in ways the public is rejecting. What a waste.

I'm not sure I get the allusion to the wonderful play, but kudos for bringing it up.

What are your plans if Trump get's negotiated deals with most of our trading partners, within the next... 3 months?

oh we'll have trade deals. Just not what Trump promised. And the really crazy thing is he's lumped in capitalist trading partners with "Vladimer" and Jina.

So, attempting to even the playing field, equals doing damage…Says volumes about you Mac…

 

[LordBrownTrout]

In case you hadn't noticed, the country feels like its eating shit. That's why there are so many protests and why Dotard's poll number are sinking.

Nope, libs seethe with hate and rage over trump. They obsess daily with this demonic hatred. Has nothing to do with policy.

So let me get this straight. Democrats are saying Trump wouldn't be facing all their resistance if he just bent over backwards to do everything possible to make the democrats happy. But, has anyone ever met a happy democrat? And the people democratically elected Trump to stop the insanity of the democrats, so why would he appease the democrats? Let's flip this and say this: If the batshit insane democrats would cut the shit and actually try to work with Trump instead of being automatically against everything he does and says, I am sure Trump would work with them. The ball is in the democrat's court.

 

[Anathema]

Compromise created our Constitution. Everybody had skin in the game. That's the smart way to do things.

The only reason not to collaborate and compromise is if a person is lousy at it or afraid of it. If that's the case, they should find something else to do, and let the adults back in the room to do what they need to do.

Our Constitution is a joke at this point, with holes large enough to drive Socual Security and the entire Democrat party through.

Compromise is for those with open minds… the ones who don’t have actual ideology and belief behind their convictions… exactly the worst kind of people to have in charge of anything.

LOL He could have kept the status quo. Guess what bergie, that's not what American voted for.

With their approval numbers plummeting down to only 20% you'd think they'd realize that orange man bad hasn't worked. Oh, I forgot. Bernie and AOC drew a crowd of 30,000 people the other day. That ought to be enough for them to win.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

He is doing what absolutely has to be done or this nation will not survive.

Dems have no interest in that. Good to know.

He has no clue what he's doing.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

So, IOW, If only Trump had listened to, acquiesced to, and appointed all Democrats to form his administration, then maybe, just maybe you'd try?

Fuck you, you lost....Now you're gonna eat shit for the better part of four more years, you arrogant POS....

Orange bag O' shit.

 

[Cellblock2429]

Predictable reply. They certainly have no interest in working with someone who is doing what he's doing. Which is pretty much the point. Rather than being a petulant, lawless, unhinged would be autocrat he could have proposed a moderate agenda in recognition of the diverse desires of all Americans. But he gave in to his malevolent impulses instead, driving a divisive wedge between extreme MAGAists and everyone else.

/—-/ “Predictable reply.”
Of course be cause democRATs never compromise. They expect Republicans to cave.
When was the last major concession from the left?

 

[22lcidw]

He didn't have to go along with the Dem's agenda. He could have offered a compromise agenda. What we got was an agenda driven by anger, revenge, and bigotry.

That is the Progressive Socialist Communist doctrine.
