It still doesn't cease to amaze me how absolutely clueless some people can be. How can you observe Trump's behaviour and think he'll do anything except be insane? He can't even form coherent sentences for goodness' sake!

I hope this moron, and all his Trump pals, lose everything.

Imagine thinking Trump has business acumen.

they arent just uninformed... they are brainwashed. you dont just snap out of it. you cant logic yourself out of a position you did not logic yourself into

its like trying to convince someone that their religion is garbage. no matter what evidence you provide, their brain will work around it.

Yeah we've had a mass brainwashing in this country that we've never seen before and it's terrifying

I saw this before, right after 9/11.

I remember A LOT of racism toward anyone that even looked middle eastern.

The United States is a VERY racist nation.

For the people who consume conservative media, it has not stopped since then. That’s why they are SO brainwashed into accepting the most ridiculous shit they’re told.

Yea well religion and fox news did all the heavy lifting for shitler. They were 99% brainwashed when he showed up. He grabbed the steering wheel and they readily threw their jesus christ in the ditch to ride with new messiah daddy.

I think a huge problem is that a significant part of the population has poor long term memory. I saw interviews before the election where they asked voters and the ones who were pro Trump always talked about how he was a good businessman. They had completely forgotten that 4 years earlier they had to fight for toilet paper under Trump. A friend said before the election, "Biden was the worst President ever." "Did you forget that you had no toilet paper?" "Oh, yeah."

No memory.

It's all about hate. His supporters are full of hate and that overrides any semblance of common sense.
