You must spread some reputation around.................Yeah, I don't even need them to support Trump. Just acknowledge the suffocating political reality we currently exist in. And it's unfortunate that criticism of posts is seen as "you just want this to become the Trump forums". I guess the issue is that there are two different lenses you can read the posts through.
The more ""hard right""/self-preservationist conservatives already see the bad policies as bad. Making the post that a bad policy is bad doesn't doesn't do much for us. Unfortunately, there is a multitude of factions on RPF, the "lefties" (some of which will even advocate for Sanders), who love to use these threads as ammunition to further conflate "Orange Man Bad". So, yeah, they love to fan the flames, and people who are tired of the negativity have to respond "yeah, dude, you clearly aren't putting this into context. ..Have you really ran the scenarios, of what would happen in the real world, with the available alternatives?" Because substituting a fairytale is silly. Just go full fairytale at that point.
So. I get it. The bailout sucks. Given the current climate, there really isn't a way around it. I'm glad that the idea of suspending the payroll tax was suggested by Trump, sucks that it's not going to go anywhere. Maybe we can try to highlight positive proposals like those, get good press going, and get better from the next guy. It beats putting the Universal Healthcare and UBI guy in office. Yeah, those presidential speeches would really piss me off.
