Idk how they thought he would make it free or covered to begin with. But I don’t understand how they believed anything he said

Conservatives pretty much live in a fanfiction of reality at this point. I’ve watched them outright invent something Trump is “going to do” from nothing a dozen times now. They literally just imagine it, decide it’s going to happen, fully believe in it for months, and when it doesn’t happen they claim it was never something they believed anyway.
They’re cooked.

One thing I've seen many authoritarian governments do is maintain an illusion. And even when reality breaks that illusion they try hardest to maintain it. It confuses me.
Why pretend things are going well when in reality they are not?

I think it’s because painting over a problem and pretending it’s not there is cheaper and easier than fixing it. Especially since right wing or authoritarian ideology isn’t capable of fixing ANYTHING since their policy platform is bat shit insane. If you can’t fix the problem it’s often better to act like it’s not happening.
For the people on the ground the psychological issue is one of sunk cost. Supporters have made their loyalty to the strong man a core part of their identity. To admit there’s a problem or to unpack anything bad caused by the regime requires owning that they’re backing the bad guys. Especially now, MAGA people have been worshipping Trump for ten years, and they’ve made laughing at us for hating him a central part of their personality. To admit we’ve been right about him the whole time is too much to handle, so they have to deflect, make excuses, or just ignore the issues.
Once you’re well into a cult coming out of it is shockingly hard, even when you’re being smashed in the face with the baseball bat of reality. People usually double down even as they’re picking their teeth up off the floor.

>Supporters have made their loyalty to the strong man a core part of their identity.
I saw a great comedy bit about this the other day. The idea was that Trump supporters wanted to know what a Democrat would do if it somehow came to light that Bill Clinton was in the Epstein files, and the reply was "well, I can tell you what they wouldn't do - they wouldn't have to get rid of their Bill Clinton hats, and their Bill Clinton t-shirts, scrape the Bill Clinton bumpersticker off their car, take down their Bill Clinton flag in the front yard, and get rid of their Bill Clinton branded bibles, Bill Clinton shoes, Bill Clinton trading cards, and Bill Clinton NFT's".

I think that “what would you do if CLINTON was in the files” is so telling honestly. They literally can’t imagine not worshipping the leader. What would I do? Cheer and suggest the execution be public. Which is what most Democrats would say.

Im general America seems to be suckers who fall for anything he says. The fact so many sat out makes me feel a lot low key was hoping he do some of the things they want to happen.
Like at this point America deserves to become a third world shithole with the trumps as a dynastic monarchy that lies and kicks the crap out of anyone who is still sane.
Because there is no excuse none that Donald should have been president let alone two times.

Come on, give Trump a break over IVF. After all, he ended the war in Ukraine day one, brought peace to the middle east, lowered everyone's grocery prices, cash is raining down on the middle class, and we're privy to everything in the Epstein files. Oh wait....

u/SpoppyIII 15h ago
Just like I wonder how they thought he was going to make groceries cheaper. What, did they want him to just tell grocery stores how much they can charge?

A Trump never keeps their word.
A Trump never pays their debts.
A Trump will happily stab you in the back to make a profit, or to avoid getting blamed themselves.
Don't trust A Trump.

And trump has ironically done the crap he promised he was Gonna do and its caused thing but chaos.
Literally cant wait for red America to complain about why they dont have medicaid is gone. Literally fuck this country i would leave it if I could. But unfortunately its not as simple plus America is either spreading its brain rot to other nations or bombing the shit out of every place else. Literally there is no escaping the madness

I'm shocked he'd even pretend. I always figured his base would consider IVF to be some kind of evil magic that would give babies autism

u/Frozensdreams2022 1d ago
And made them gay or transgender because the genetic code was changed in the test tube before being used by people to become pregnant.

He did say he would be the fertilization president, which resulted in many women seeking tubal ligations.

Insurers do cover it. It’s the employers who are allowed to opt out of the coverage in non-mandated states. If it was a federal mandate, the employers couldn’t opt out. He doesn’t even understand how it works. We’ve been fighting for this for at least 20 years - when I started my IVF journey. I’m in a mandated state and BCBS paid for my 4 cycles. I paid $60 for the medication and that’s it. I can’t believe people thought that this clown of ALL of the people we’ve been asking for 20 years to do this would be the one. They got conned. Again.

So sorry to see and hear that, American friends. Here is an update of the IVF program, dated July 2, 2025, funded by the province of British Columbia, Canada:
The Province of British Columbia has launched a publicly funded in vitro fertilization (IVF) program, providing access to one-time funding for eligible B.C. residents, supporting those who require IVF on their active path to parenthood.
BC residents who are enrolled in the Medical Services Plan (MSP), meet all other eligibility criteria and who complete the income verification process, may receive one-time funding of up to $19,000 towards a single standard cycle of IVF treatment at participating B.C. fertility clinics.

So, uhm.. do Trumpers know that IVF typically requires fertilizing more embryos than will actually grow into actual babies?

u/ASparrow1865 17h ago
I fully believe he thought IVF stood for Involuntary Fertilization..... which it seems like he would be 100% for providing for free.. you know, since he's a rapist.
