In your opinion?


I've heard people say this and I don't see it.

They're acting exactly the same, saying largely the same things with the same rhetoric.

And the opposition said the exact same things they're saying now in 2016 and warned everyone about what was going to happen.

I've had family and friends apologize for voting Trump. They were scared of Hillary, scared of unions, scared of healthcarrle. But the rhetoric on TV and the internet is the same now as it was 2015-2016.

I think they have always been this bad. The riots were a result of 4 years of build up, Trump basically sicced his trained dogs on the Capitol.

I dunno man Trump started getting relevance as a candidate following a statement that implies many Mexican migrants were rapists.

He also claimed that he would ban travel from middle eastern countries, and that he would legalize waterboarding.

Who do you think these statements appeal to?

About the same. The rise of Q came from the crazy rather than the other way around.

No. There was a reason Hillary called them a basket of deplorables. The snowflakes melted down over that comment because they knew she was right.

There exactly the same. They've just had 4 years of being enabled while they hung out in echo chambers. Now they're coming out and realizing the rest of us don't attend Klan meetings.

They were always the same, the difference is that the MAGA group just got bigger over the years.

In fact, I would go so far to say that if I ever saw someone try to say this, I would think that that person was a blithering idiot who shouldn't be taken seriously in any capacity.

There are definitely people who voted for Trump in 2016 who I wouldnt consider part of the MAGA group - people who essentially just wanted a Republican candidate and probably didnt really care to take the time to think about/research the situation for themselves.

The MAGA crowd still existed, though, and I cant see how anyone who voted for him in 2020 can be separate from that.

I call BS on that

You don't need research to see what Trump was all about, he literally screamed it

So what about people that voted him in 2016 and didn't in 2020?

More people voted for him in 2020

The Maga crowd is still there and means the same thing

Maybe? I'm not American so I don't follow your elections super closely. I'm unsure of the exact numbers in regards to everything. My question though was specifically about people that may have voted for him in 2016 and then voted for Biden in 2020. Unless you believe that in every state that flipped from republican to democrats it was simply because democrats weren't voting in those states before.

I'm not trying to troll. I just think it is a little cynical to assume there wasn't a single republican voter from 2016 that looked at what Trump did to your country and tried to correct that mistake by voting for Biden in 2020.

This is not in anyway a defense of MAGA i agree that MAGA is what it always has been, but I also believe that there are probably Republicans that voted him just because he was Republican.

this is definitely true, the fact that the MAGA crowd grew doesnt mean that everyone who voted for him in 2016 did so again in 2020. the situation was not nearly as extreme as it is now, not because Trump has gotten any worse, but because hes been in the spotlight for way longer. to pretend there arent any republicans who voted simply for an R in 2016 and have since realized how awful Trump is and didnt vote for him in 2020 is pretty disingenuous.
