    He was worse for guns than Biden. How the fuck do these people reconcile this shit with their beliefs?

      Being a member of the pro-gun community already requires living in a fantasy. A few more lies and hollow promises shouldn’t be a problem for them.

      Besides, this shit is easy when you’ve got no integrity at all. Just say anything. “Trump banned bump stocks so that it could be struck down by the Supreme Court and then the deep state wouldn’t be able to take our guns but we didn’t vote and pray and donate hard enough so we better go even more cultish and far-right to fix it”

        That example is so perfect I assume some Trump zealot somewhere is using it at this very moment.

        Just yesterday in a thread here on Lemmy.world about his NATO remarks, I read a comment: “Trump said he’d pull out of NATO and accused Europe of not paying its bills in order to… strengthen NATO by motivating countries to pay more and it’s Trump’s merit alone that Ukraine can resist Russia’s attack now.
