Trump: "I'm gonna do [blank]."

Me: "He's gonna do [blank]."

Redcaps: "He's not gonna do [blank], idiot!"

Trump: "We have done [blank] and are committed to accelerating the [blank] policy."

Redcaps: "omg, we had no idea that he would actually do [blank]! This is horrible!

Me: "Okay, so are you gonna denounce that at all? Maybe think twice about whether you support a thing that he tells you he's gonna do going forward?"

Redcaps: "What? Why? It's actually good and smart that he did [blank], and you're an idiot loser for still thinking about that. Also everything in my life is bad and getting worse, and it's the fault of the party that currently wields no power. The party currently in power which is famous for staunchly opposing change will be the key to changing the trajectory of my life."
