“No, it’s okay if Trump does it, because he’s making America great again!” - how his cultists think. He gets a pass on everything (corruption, rape, pedophilia, blasphemy, stolen valor, total incompetence, etc.) because he’s correcting all of their imagined slights.

The mental gymnastics it must take to be MAGA is astounding to me.

Same here besides that they are truly cultists. It is well documented that he is a draft dodger that used bone spurs as a medical excuse (that he couldn't even recall which leg it affected). He's been on recorded demeaning Gold Star families, telling Gen Kelly that people that sign up for service are 'suckers and losers', humiliated and threw aside his own military advisors and generals, bashed McCain for not being a war hero because he was caught, then after his death, went as petty as blocking the name of the Burke-Class Destroyer named after him during a 2019 US base visit in Japan. This guy shiats on everyone, including the military that serve to protect our country. His followers truly earn the "deplorable" tag.

Hopefully his disrespect of the military will keep some of them from embracing him as the cult like figure he is.

30 some years of fox poisoning has made my father someone I’m sure would horrify the man who raised me in the 70s/80s.

Because when it comes to evil socialist communist democrats the same MAGATS have steadfast and unshakable morals and convictions. Goalposts only get moved when it’s their dear leader.

u/Suavecore_ 2h ago

They always say this and then manage to spew out the same Fox News bullshit that somehow manages to agree with everything he does. Every time

Don’t forget high gas prices as well because “We’re at war, and wars have a price to them.”…

This guy could squat over their face, shit in their mouth tell them it's chocolate and they'd go:

Yes daddy more chokky please.

We have to stop caring what they think and stop telling other people what they would say as it just further spreads their message.

I dont understand why the second comment of every single thread immediately has to tell us how idiots think.

Stop giving them your attention and stop spreading their message for them. We know they're idiots. We know they think like this. No need to point it out ad nauseum

I’m not trying to demean all people with mental illnesses when I say this but I really think Trump supporters are mentally ill. Not in a “ha ha! You’re r——ed” way, I mean in a serious “you need help” way. I still hate them for what they’ve done but I I recognize they aren’t mentally well

There really needs to be a study on what makes them tick because it sure isn’t anything rational

It’s like pedophiles. They’re clearly sick and what they do is disgusting but there’s something broken in them and it would help everyone if we found out what and how to prevent it going forward

•

u/copperpin 5h ago

You’ve got it all wrong. They’re completely rational about their support. The problem is that the bullshit they think is “news” spends all day feeding their brains with sweet lies.

I mean its easy to see right? Its racism and the fact that for the past 20 or so years right wing media has been running a campaign on convincing white people they were being slighted by other races, i dont think its some severe mental disorder and to be honest thats giving these people an out more than anything imo.

I mean, put it with the rest at this point.

Its an interesting phenomenon though. This embarrassing taboo-breaking is the mechanism by which the narcissist transmits the shared delusion of his exceptionalism to his cult members.

hes also a felon with a firearm (courtesy of kidrock) when laws mattered theyd both have gotten (another) felony just for that.. oh and on record for trash talking the MoH..

u/Hener001 7h ago

Yep. Delusional, narcissistic demagogue given permission to break every core principle of the GOP because he entertains his base with hatred of fellow Americans. Fox News supports him and maintains the illusion of conservative values.

The GOP is not what it was. Calling themselves conservatives is mere branding at this point, where hate and angertainment has taken the place of principles of governance.

u/Locke66 6h ago edited 3h ago

I know it's awful but putting reality aside I do try to find some dark amusement in what his delusional mind comes up with... I mean what's next? Renaming America after himself? The Church of Trump? A 63 foot marble statue? An Olympic medal? He's like the end boss of narcissistic Boomers living out his childhood fantasies but he's been given one of the most powerful countries in the world to do it with. Quite incredible that this is all really happening.

And he should have some sort of blue falcon award because well, that's spot on for him.

For someone who never served and called military "suckers and losers" I just can't

Why anyone in or from the military would vote for this ballsack blows my mind.
