I can't help but wonder where they come up with some of this, other than the obvious answer of "from their rectal orifice."

Republican. Voters. Do. Not. Care. About. Facts. When will people understand that?
He promises to take away their healthcare... and they love him.
He promised no such thing, much to my chagrin. It's because Trump was promising to find some way to perpetuate the disaster that is Obamafail by some other name that I did not support his policy.
He promises to cut infrastructure... and they love him.
Cut infrastructure?!?! Holy shit! He promised all along to bulldoze yet another trillion dollars down another black hole of Democrat cronyism, just like Obama did. Newsflash, everyone:
the nation's infrastructure is not crumbling. That's a lie perpetuated by those who will benefit from gigantic amounts of largess. No, the bridges are not falling down. No, the airports are not falling apart. No, the highways are not ruined. There are
a few places where highways need improvements. There are a
very few bridges that are actually in desperate need of repair. There are
a few airports (all in blue cities, it seems) that are in piss-poor shape, and that is solely because those Democrat-run cities have squandered the gigantic sums of money that those airports bring in instead of keeping the place up.
He promises to cut veterans-benefits... and they love him.
He never said anything even vaguely resembling that claim.
He promises to take away their food-stamps and their Medicaid and the medical services of Planned Parenthood... and they love him.
Well, you got food stamps and Planned Abortionhood right, sort of, but that's only barely the case. I don't remember Trump ever addressing food stamps on the campaign trail, but this latest budget does make a
minor trip to food stamps over the course of ten years. Obama
intentionally doubled the number of people on food stamps, because kook Leftists somehow think that having
more people dependent upon the government is a good thing. I haven't dug up the pre-2009 numbers yet, but I'm pretty much willing to bet right now that this is a line item that has doubled or more in the last ten years.
As for Planned Abortionhood, they don't actually provide any medical services. They hand out some rubbers and they kill babies. That's it. There are literally hundreds of other organizations who, across every single state in the country, provide more and better health to everyone, especially women, at little or no cost.
Medicaid is not being touched. It's appropriation goes up every single year under Trump's budget.
He endangers national security... and they love him.
And just how has he done that? Other than in your fevered imagination about private conversations that Trump has had in the Oval Office, I mean.
Gianforte grabs a journalist by the neck, throws him to the ground and screams while pounding him with his fists... and the next day they elect him.
He grabbed a pencil-necked Leftist shill who was trespassing and threw him to the ground. I don't necessarily support what Gianforte did, just because I think that it could have been handled better, but that little turd didn't even have a mark on him.
This is not about facts.
That's true. What you've been blubbering about, DUmmie, is not factual at all. It's your fevered imagination at work.
This is about propaganda, doctrine, dogma, feelings, emotions.
Yes, it is. You've swallowed up all of the Leftist propaganda, it's doctrine for you to be filled with hate, it's dogma for you to despise anyone who defeats you, you've had your feelz hurt because the country roundly rejected your ideals, and you're undeniably an emotional basketcase.
As long as they think that they personally will be better off, they are for it.
Well no shit, Sherlock. You vote the same way. You just vote for the government to take shit away from other people and give it to you, so that you're personally better off.
As long as they think that the impending suffering will hit somebody else, they are for it.
See above. You fools are all about hurting anyone who has more stuff than you do because "it's not fair."
As long as the liberals/Democrats are for it, they are against it.
Yeah. Once again, see above. As long as conservatives/Republicans are for it, you are against it.
All your so-called "facts" and fancy book-learnin' mean shit to these people.
That's because you don't actually have any facts, and your fancy book-learnin' about sociological studies of East African lesbian Pygmy interpretive dance actually is worth precisely shit to the rest of the sane universe.
And if you really want to rile them up against you, tell them that you have scientific evidence to back up your case.
Yeah, like pointing out that scientific evidence proves conclusively that you have one of two sexes.
Drop the delusion that these people could be convinced with arguments. Promises and emotions. That's the only way to reach them.
Well, we're just not going to bother trying to reach you. You're too damned stupid to fool with.

32. They think they HATE the "Great Society" programs of liberal LBJ...
even when they benefit from them. My mom says "everything" went wrong after the Great Society programs were implemented, even though she wouldn't want to let go of her own Medicare, come hell or high water. She's just been brainwashed by the Fox TV and right wing radio propaganda blaring in her house and car every waking moment. The unhidden subtext is that the Great Society programs suck because non-whites can benefit, too. Liberals think a rising tide lifts all boats. Nutcase right wingers (all remaining Republicans, now) see only a zero sum game. If non-whites benefit, whites lose.
Everything
did go wrong after the Great Society programs were implemented. Black people are demonstrably far worse off than they were before the federal government came along and kicked the father out of the Black household. And if
anyone sees things as a zero-sum game, it's the Left, who continually claim that "the 1%" are "hoarding all of the wealth," like there's no way to go out and create wealth on one's own.
Whew! I feel better now. Haven't done that in a while. Felt good!
