I saw this post and it made wonder Why is that? ============================= The easiest way to prove that Republicans are nothing but perpetual victims — living in a constant state of fear over a nonexistent "boogeyman" — is the fact that even as Donald Trump sits in the White House, 26 of the 50 states have Republican governors, and Republicans control all of Congress, they’re still out there whining about rigged elections and nonexistent "mass voter fraud." Here’s a simple thought: if Democrats could rig elections, then why the hell is everything I just listed true? Why would Donald Trump be president? Why would he have won in key swing states run by Democrats? Why would Republicans control the House and the Senate? Why would Republicans hold 26 governorships? Especially considering that, heading into the 2024 election, Democrats controlled the White House and the Senate. In this reality — where Republicans control almost everything — they’re still victims. They’re still whining. They’re still claiming elections are "rigged." They’re still pushing lies about "mass voter fraud." Even in states such as Mississippi, Alabama, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas — which have been completely controlled by Republicans for most of the past 30+ years — they still blame liberals and Democrats for all their problems. Like Texas, where I live. A state that ranks near the bottom in education, yet Republicans constantly complain about the quality of education and test scores — even though they’ve been in full control for decades. But somehow it’s "liberals" and Democrats causing these issues, even though blue states such as Connecticut, Massachusetts, Virginia, and Maryland consistently rank at the top in education, while many red states occupy the bottom half of the list. It will never end. No matter the reality, conservative voters will exist in a constant state of whining, victimhood, and complaining — like little snowflakes looking to blame anyone and anything but themselves for whatever isn’t going right in their lives. Why? Rocket River
it came out not even 2 days ago that they’re trying to use China rigging the 2020 election as the pretense for nationalizing elections in 2026 and beyond then yesterday Trump had something on his TS account about how Iran rigged the 2020 and 2024 elections so now we’re at war Trump was president in 2020 so under Trump, not only did China rig the elections in 2020, so did Iran… oh, and the Dems did too so a trio of factions were able to rig 2020 with Trump in charge If that’s not incompetence, Idk what is. but then the Dems decided to not rig 2022 and 2024 even tho they were in power
The issue is that Republican politicians know that pandering to their base with tales of victimhood get the base fired up. Telling the base that they are victims frees that base from personal responsibility for life's disapointments and gives a convenient focus for rage that isn't the politician talking. It's personal weakness and self-delusion, and a lack of willingness to take a hard look in the mirror. It's kind of a mass sycophantic folie au deux. Playing the victim means everything wrong with your life is someone else's fault and you are... just the victim. Victimhood is an emotionally soothing state.
That’s because there are no Republicans left. It’s all MAGA and conservatives who compromise morals for wins.
Because by and large the MAGA base and republicans in general are ignorant and easily led by fool's errands. They just live in a world of propaganda - and they don't have the tools or the people around them to help them figure out the truth, it is truly an alternative reality. Please notice I did not say they were STUPID or DUMB - they aren't, they are just gullible, and easily led by propaganda. And, struggle with anything that breaks their belief system. Being a brain type that takes in the data and can follow facts and admit things were different than thought is a sign of an open mindset, most of MAGA has a closed mindset and is living in a world that is full of lies, or as Kellyanne Conway used to say "Alternative facts"......they actually believe the BS that is fed to them and have no way of breaking out. Fear is a very powerful tool - and blaming others for their fear is propaganda 101......Germany meet Jews...etc... DD
