(this is a sarcastic post meant to highlight the absurdity of some of the “greater good” rhetoric we’ve been hearing, especially around leaving vulnerable populations like disabled people behind in case of revolution, basically accelerationism)

      But this is about ideals and values of the left wing vs right.

      What values and ideals does Trump have that appeals to them?

      Six Trump voters on why he won their support in 2024 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyg5jdgzy1o

      Lets see these “ideals” and “values” that Trump voters hold dear to their hearts:

      They don’t like immigrants, the border crossings

      They thought he could do a better job with the economy

      They thought he could do a better job with the economy

      ‘With his grandkids, I see the softer side’ <- Lady is on drugs I assume, going to ignore this one

      They thought he could do a better job with the economy

      Doesn’t like war, likes a strong man leader

      So 3 out of 5 were about the economy 1 didn’t like illegal immigration 1 didn’t like war

      So people voted largely for Trump because they felt the economy does better under him

      And this looks to be backed up with this poll:

      Economy Most Important Issue to 2024 Presidential Vote

      The economy ranks as the most important of 22 issues that U.S. registered voters say will influence their choice for president. It is the only issue on which a majority of voters, 52%, say the candidates’ positions on it are an “extremely important” influence on their vote. Another 38% of voters rate the economy as “very important,” which means the issue could be a significant factor to nine in 10 voters.

      Is this a conservative value? a good economy? do leftists not value a good economy?
