Trump administration policies slashing staffing and funding for public lands are waking a sleeping political giant in Montana. Will either party notice?

      They are admitting that by saying “this isn’t what I voted for.”

      They lack the capacity for introspection, or refuse to do it because it’s painful, so they’ll say this isn’t what they voted for, when in reality they weren’t paying attention and were fed nothing but “woke bad, prices high, deport immigrants, vote for me.”

        “This isn’t what I voted for. But what choice did I have? Did you expect me to vote for a woman?”

          “Her laugh bro”

          At least when it was Hillary there was valid criticism of warmongering and Wall Street pandering / bribes. Getting people to vote based on her laugh really shows the type of citizens we’re dealing with. They probably love this article!

        They are admitting that they don’t understand, but that is different than admitting that they did.

    Zink voted for Trump but said he doesn’t agree with everything the president does. Zink clarifies he calls himself a “conservative” over calling himself a “Republican.” He doesn’t like Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric. “I prefer common sense in the middle,” he said.

    You fired for Trump. You’re a Republican. You don’t prefer common sense in the middle, you are a Republican that tries to distance yourself from the consequences of your actions by calling yourself a conservative. You did this to yourself, you fucking idiot.

      There are no Republicans or Conservatives any more. That was just the larval stage for their final form: MAGA. The Republican/ Conservative movement is dead. They’re all MAGA whether they like it or not.

      Remember in 2025 when GWB had so thoroughly fucked the country that even Republicans denied supporting him?

      They never learn a damn thing; the party response is to always double down on reactionary policies that shore up their support among the absolute worst people in the US so that billionaires can consolidate their wealth and power.

    Oh they voted for it but they thought none of it would hit them. They were fine with it as long as it got those welfare queens off the government tit. They are racist shitfucks just like I deal with here in WNC. Same mentality.
