He's been saying for months that MAGAts aren't the brightest bulbs in the box. As an example, he points to how easily MAGAts were conned to commit crimes on January 6. 2021.

Houses falling down ,crime rate thru the roof 26 minutes ago, Olddaddy said: Well he seemed to stop the wars... I'm not sure why you feel the need to chime in on subjects in which you're completely ignorant. Almost all of your statements are the opposite of the truth. First of all, Americans are essentially all covered by unemployment insurance. It usually pays for about a year, sometimes longer. Secondly, while it used to be the case that losing a job could cause you to lose your health insurance and lead a person to poverty, this changed during the time both houses of Congress were controlled by Democrats, who passed the Affordable Care Act, which was signed by Obama (and opposed by Republicans). Due to the ACA, those with low income get cost-free health insurance. Those with somewhat low to moderate incomes get their health insurance coverage subsidized by the government. Health insurance companies can no longer deny coverage or raise rates due to pre-existing conditions, as was the case when Republicans were in control. It's now illegal in the US not to have health insurance. At income tax time, any person who's refused to buy health insurance will simply be fined an equal amount to what he would have paid for basic health care coverage (what's called here bronze coverage). A form from the insurance company must be filed with one's income tax. Absolutely opposite to what you suggest, Trump and the Republican platform have actually called for the repeal of the ACA. Also, Trump promised to stop the war in Afghanistan but failed to do so. It was Biden who got the US out (admittedly, rather awkwardly). Again, the opposite of what you suggest. Your statement regarding "crime rate thru the roof" (sic) is also the opposite of the truth. Crime rates overall have been falling, certainly not rising, much less "thru the roof" as you claimed: As Abraham Lincoln is quoted: Marc in Calif, stevenkesslar and reader 3 Quote

With Dementia Joe Biden's catch and release policy, none of those encountered at the border were expelled. They were processed, given a cell phone, a temporary ID, and promised all kinds of goodies which millions of homeless American citizens are not provided. Your graph proves my point. Illegal border crossing has TRIPLED under Dementia Joe Biden. And it has likely gone up exponentially in 2023. Joe Biden has thrown out the Welcome Mat to drug dealers, sex traffickers, terrorists, etc. Come to America. We welcome you with open arms. Hopefully, pictures like this will be in every television commercial this Fall. It will not only mean a Trump landslide, but a GOP sweep of the House and Senate. Marc in Calif 1 Quote

No. Pointing out problems isn't solving them. Do you recall trump's healthcare plan? He claimed to have a plan (he had to keep it secret for some reason) that would cover more people, would be cheaper and provide broader coverage. Once elected,we found he never had a plan.
