It baffles me that people see this guy getting increasingly unhinged the farther into his dementia he gets, and they just shrug. Congress could remove him anytime they want too.
His supporters don't see this stuff.
They go to his rallies, can't get more in your face real than that. His incoherent ramblings on a stage don't lie.
They still just clap at anything he says. Must be nice, being in a cult and just ignoring or not realizing one's struggles.
But actually, I'd rather be aware of them.
In their defense, if Trump is as bad as he appears at the rallies they attend that would mean they were wrong, enabled terrible people to do horrible things and are themselves monsters for cheering these people as they raped, stole and lied. So they kind of can't afford to be wrong. Granted, they can't afford anything alse,at this point..both financially and morally bankrupt.
MAGA faithful have been walking out due to boredom since his first term, it's just physically impossible to get enough of them in one place at the same time because of all that empty land in the big beautiful map of cows that voted for him
I listened to an (american) podcast and on the side they talk a lot about pefophiles/guns because it was relevant. The point was always like: man pedophiles shold all just hang on the road, so other pedophiles would be scared. "When i was young my dad told me that they just made pedophiles dissapear." And he was awefully proud of that. There was A LOT of talk about what they would do with a pedophile. Meanwhile they have the most famous pedophile in charge of their country, but not a single mention of that.
Yeah it's almost like they don't want to fix anything or hold any of these ghouls accountable at all because they all want their own piece of the money/power shit pie. Weird. Nobody can seem to figure it out. What in the world is going on?
Greed. - And it's such a disgusting disease that raping children is ignored in favor of it.
Thanks for reminding me...I try not to think about it bcz it's extremely triggering as a survivor of child rape.
