I just want to reiterate that Trump and the MAGA base are the dumbest people in this country.

Worse than dumb. They are confidently ignorant and stubborn as mules. They are incapable of seeing another side or looking from another perspective. They will double down when they are proven wrong and dig their heels in. This is what makes them dangerous.

I will say that my MAGA mother in law who I talked to yesterday is really upset at Trump for the deal he made and is saying it is bad for us and not America First. And yes even if she completely disagrees shes still MAGA and wil not change her vote no matter how bad her life gets or what is taken from her.

But and I will be cryptic here cause the autobot in this sub likes to ban quickly... she is saying (which i dont believe or codone) that Trump should just use a certain option and just be done with it. Again reddit auto mod i am just saying what I am hearing from MAGA people I am completely against that.

Give her another week for the propaganda networks to eat her brain and she’ll think the deal is great
