Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

“He’s a family man,” Jerry Bolduc says about Trump. “He believes in God and in America first. And that’s what I’m all about.”
It's like his fans don't actually know the first thing about him...
or the second, third, fourth and fifth things.
The only thing that's true about Trump being a family man, is he wants to fuck his daughter. Which, to be honest, is rather biblical.
I heard an interview the other day where an Iowan trump supporter claimed that Trump was respected by the rest of the world. lol.
As someone from Europe, he's absolutely not lmao
They think fear is respect or they are pointing to the fascist minority factions within those countries as their source of information. Let's call it The Fascist International.
Its so funny how he refuses to name his favorite/any known to him Bible verses. Refuses to be pinned down aha
The funniest part is that he has had years to just memorize a few lines to make them happy and these people register so little to him that he can’t even bother to do the bare minimum.
Except "woman, man, person, TV, camera" isn't in the Bible, so he was all out of space to learn anything else.
LOL. There was so much batshit crazy shit during those four years I forgot about this one. Also just remembered the attempt at using a sharpie to redirect a hurricane.
He's being pedantic, parsing words, being cheeky: everyone knows Mein Kampf is written in prose, not verse.
Everything that seems stupid or outrageous about Trump just clicks into place one you've accepted the mandatory foundational bullshit. These people didn't reason themselves into their position, they were looking for something to believe together. It's just too bad all that faith is wasted on this asshole.
All faith is wasted. Believing in something without evidence is at best naive and at worst stupid.
It's like believing in Cancers ability to take over a whole body and make it "better". Technically Cancer is pretty strong, so a whole body of cancer must be super strong right. Just ignore all the things you know about how that would actually work. Just have faith that it will work how we tell you it will work, it sort of feels like it could be a thing, if you don't think about it.
They live in some sort of alternate reality where they are blind to facts, I just don't understand how they arrive at the conclusions they make. It just doesn't make any sense what so ever. It is going to be studied for generations as a warning for the rest of us.
The worst part is, you can't tell them different. "Family man? You know he cheated on his pregnant wife with a porn star, right?"
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/commentary-why-evangelicals-stick-with-trump-despite-stormy-daniels/
"Perhaps most astonishing, a recent YouGov poll found only half of Trump voters said Trump cheating on his wife with Stormy Daniels would be immoral, even if it did happen. After everything they've learned about him, 56 percent of Trump supporters believe the phrase "moral leader" describes the president either "very well" or "extremely well." "
I like the optimism, that we have generations left.
His supporters don't even know what they're about. They can't think on their own because they've been taught to follow without question.
They can't say "I like abusing women and minorities and wish it was a more acceptable hobby so I'm voting Trump" -- the Unite the Right rally showed them that plausible deniability builds platforms and going mask off takes them away.
But they can say clearly bullshit things like this and everyone does them the favor of pretending they actually mean it.
If someone doesn't politely play along, they've been coached at how to manipulate their way out of it with by saying things like "the left just calls everyone they don't like a Nazi".
No, no, Trump really is a family man...in exactly the same way as Tony Soprano. He is all about HIS family, but definitely not yours!
He doesn't even clear that low bar. He cheats on his wives and palms his children off on others people.
