“You can’t fool your base.”
Why not? It’s worked for more than a decade.
It should read “You’re hurting us now and not just the people who disagree with us, so that makes us mad! And only about the issues that hurt us, everyone else getting screwed is fine!”
Being fooled is like, their whole thing lmao
It should read “You’re hurting us now and not just the people who are brown, so that makes us mad!”
Let’s be real US voting behavior has always leaned towards fucking over any one not light, bright, and white. No other group has consistently voted republican as white ppl. Hating liberals is incredibly recent. Liberals loved Clinton when he was cutting off social benefits because the idea was black ppl were the primary users.
Fooling your base is literally every maga policy
fool me 234,720 times, same on you, fool me…
They have a saying at Maralago?
no no, that’s “please don’t get me addicted to smack and sell me into sex slavery”
“You can’t fool your base.”
Nope but you can discard them when you are done.
Yes you can and yes you can discard them when you’re done
Having said that, these are the types that have a short temper and a lot of gums, so I’m unsure of it’s a good idea to piss them off
These rubes were followed twice, years apart. These guys are perpetual marks.
Cute. Obviously he can fool his base, but I’m up for anything that makes them turn on him.
Trump attempted an actual insurrection, yet this here is a bridge too far for his base?
No, FTA, it’s not too far enough. They’re mad he’s talking and not bombing them flat and/or glowing.
“You can’t fool your base,” they say without even a hint of irony.
We’re unfoolable!
*get fooled by their sweater while trying to get in
“I can’t wait to receive my new high quality, US-made Trump phone!”
– The same fools
You fool me once…You fool me. The point is you can’t get fooled again.
-George W. Bush
Fool me once . . . Shame on . . Shame on you . .
Fool me twice . . . Y- . . You can’t get fooled again.For the curious, this quote is because he realized mid-sentence (literally as he was saying “fool me once”) that he was about to give democrats a nice juicy “shame on me” sound bite to use in all of their ad campaigns.
I think he just forgot it midway through. He wasn’t a great speaker so it was initially kind of weird they had him speaking everywhere, all the time.
And he’d inevitably say something wrong, offensive, outrageous, stupid, whatever.
Which is why we were sure he’d go down as the worst predisent evar.
Those were the days
So instead he mangled the phrase so badly we’re still making fun of him for it twenty years later?
Hey, but no ad campaigns, though.
Mission accomplished!
Boom.

The base is taking about Iran and not the Epstein files. I’d say Trump’s done a fine job fooling his base.
Eh, not sure they care about children. That’s just a talking point they like to use to repress and control women.
One in 4 girls are sexually abused before age 18 and one in six boys. 96% of those are by family. Do the math, most of them are offenders too, they will never actually care.
Tbf that could just be one or two diddling uncles. That is to say, one person can molest multiple children.
Lol you can’t fool your base
He’s been doing exactly that for over a decade.
He fooled his base on every election so far.
yup. I will never understand how he gets people to vote against their own interests time and time and time again. whether it’s ‘conservatives’ like Kaitlan Jenner or miners or farmers or poor white shits, they’re so obsessed with their own hate and “i got mine fuck you” attitude don’t just step on the rake, they jump on it with both feet and a sadistic grin.
it’s depressing as fuck what a drug hate is.
I think it is fear, not hate. They fear trans people, Muslims, and immigrants. The left tells them this fear is their problem and they have to change. Trump tells them that not only is their fear justified, but that he can protect them from what they fear.
they certainly play on fear, but that’s to justify the hateful actions they take.
He loves the poorly educated.
Why do you think the first thing to cut is public school funding
truth
fooling his base is the basis of his entire success
Fool me once, shame on me,
Fool me twice,
Please fool me
Please
Bullshit. His base still has over 80% approval rating on him. Fuck off with these headlines. His supporters are not “turning on him” for fucks sakes.
You cannot trust anything that Iran signs
Can’t believe we got to this, but at this moment I trust the word of Iran over that of the usa.
I’m in the US and I agree.
It’s not even that Iran is trustworthy. It’s that they are a country that does things, good and bad.
But this US government, their vibe is a worst case combination of weapons-grade incompetence and reveling in how evil they can get away with being. I would expect announcements from the US government to either be market manipulation, a distraction from something else, or a straight up case of lying to the world because they can. These are people who will fuck children to prove to themselves that there is no forbidden fruit out of their reach.
Iran has a vested interest in keeping its word. For one, international diplomacy generally requires a certain trust that the other party will uphold whatever agreement was made, which is why a president arbitrarily cancelling agreements is so detrimental to a country’s international reputation and diplomatic standing. Moreover, the old Iran Deal was favourable to them: Get the global powers off their back so they can focus on local matters (much to Israel’s dismay, but that’s a separate topic I’d rather not start here).
To break the terms would have been really fucking dumb, which is why I’m also inclined to believe that the dispute over whether long-range missiles constituted a breach was genuine, and not just a “try to get away with it” tactic.
Of course, as we know, the US ended up going back on their word, Iran had to follow through on their counter-threat, things are shit now and it turns out waging war is kinda expensive so now they’re back to the negotiating table.
And I’m pretty sure that Iran will, again, get a solution worth sticking to. So yes, I agree: I trust Iran to be more rational than Pedonald Tantrump
Same.
