I'm beginning to wonder about that.
Conservatives have been demonstrating as of late that they are a lot
less patient with Trump than they were Obama.
For several months after Obama's election a lot of conservatives were
saying "well we should give him a chance at least and see what he
does".
But Trump can't seem to move fast enough on anything to satisfy them
now.
Do you recall anyone making as big of a deal over Obama's first 100
days as they have Trump?
Even Fox has jumped on the mantra that if Trump doesn't get a
ridiculous amount of his agenda done in his first 100 days then he
fails.
With Trump, especially in social media, I'm seeing a lot of folks with
"deplorable" and "voted for Trump" in their nyms beginning to flip
over single issues even while Trump is accomplishing a lot more than
what the current headline of the day is. He has already reversed a
shit load of Obama executive orders and is still at it. He is
fighting against a more stubborn and hard line opposition than any
Republican president has since Lincoln but is still managing to push
forward. But all of that appears to be simply ignored as folks are
focused in on Obamacare and the horse shit accusations of the
democrats.
There's even a poster here that has been gung ho Trump who this week
suddenly declared Trumps presidency to be finished over the failure of
the re-labled Obamacare bill that no one liked anyway and would barely
change anything had it passed. They also declared Trump to be a
failure and everything to be over due to the recent sudden increase in
gold prices which in turn indicates the value of the dollar
decreasing. And that has little if anything to do with Trump's
policies.
With each hiccup conservatives are ready to bail.
Unlike the democrats who always stand by who they elect even when they
stumble. Granted the democrats carry that to the extreme in that they
will support their guys even when caught red handed committing real
crimes but the dems never let the failing of a single bill or some
individual error turn them against their candidate or elected
official.
Indeed, I'm seeing more and more so called conservatives in forums
such as twitter and facebook that appear to be almost anxious to find
something, anything that isn't going totally perfect for Trump to use
as an excuse to just throw their hands up and declare "that's it,
we're finished".
What the hell happened to "If Trump just gets some of what he promises
done then I'll be happy"? What happened to "it will likely take
months for a viable Obamacare repeal bill to come to fruition"?
What happened to "it will probably take several years to reverse the
damage done by Obama and the democrats"?
Now it appears that it has become "if Trump doesn't get 100% of his
(our) goals accomplished at mach speed then he's a failure and I'll
never vote Republican again".
Personally I haven't lost any faith in Trump. I'm losing faith in a
lot of conservative voters who apparently believe that if they can't
have a perfect president and a perfect congress that there is no hope.
That all or nothing mentality will bite back hard if not careful.
Conservatives had better get there shit together and look at the long
game if they really want to keep America from going back to being
Obama's wet dream of socialism.
