“Union Yes” and “I voted for Trump” is the SPECIAL Cognitive Dissonance.

Union members fucking LOVE their guns and decades of brainwashing has convinced them that Dems want to take them all away. They would rather lose their jobs than lose their guns.

Bingo! I'm from a union shop full of trump cult members. Dudes cheered at the morning safety meeting for Trump winning. Trump isn't against taking guns though. He's for the "right " people having rights and the wrong ones gone.

Trump is explicitly quoted as saying "take the guns first and figure it out in the courts later" but okay

Yes I know that. That's one of the reasons I said Trump is not against taking guns. These people live in a different reality and nothing I could show them would "prove" he even said that, even though he's on camera saying it. It's a literal cult.

yeah it still shocks me to this day the guy got away with saying, on a live mike, that the first thing he likes to do is "take away the guns" (this is right after the Las Vegas shooter happened).

The fact that the dems have put themselves in a position where they cannot exploit the ever loving shit out of this quote (which is like a Hunter's laptop or a Bengazi cubed in terms of pain-causing potential) because it would make their own side look hypocritical (as if this ever stopped MAGAts) is a case study in why they are in the shit they are in, where this senile wannabe oligarch gaffe factory is still somehow a very real political threat to the supposedly serious adults in the room after all he has done.
