How can a non-wealthy trump supporter hear this and continue to support him?
He's pissing in your fucking face.
Because as long as he is pissing in minorities faces too, it's acceptable for them.
They are just brainwashed.
I’m done with “brainwashed”. They’re fuckin morons.
It is important to clarify that they are hateful morons. The "hate"-part is doing a lot of work. You can be a moron and not be a Trump supporter, but it is very rare to see a hateful moron who isn't one.
They are indeed, but somewhere humanity failed them. You are not born a moron.
Idk I’ve met babies and they are deffo morons.
citation needed ? people are born with many things eg diabetes, who now go on to survive. You have asserted facts with no evidence.
I used to think a decent education etc would help but I see no evidence of that.
Critical thinking needed?
Obviously there's many conditions people can have and some people are better learners than others.
Moron isnt meant literally, we are discussing the red voters who blindly follow Trump, that's the context. People who were born into poor states, into poor families, who didnt get the chance to have good education. They became morons. Obviously babies are fucking morons by the definition of it. Whats with these comments completely ignoring the context????
You absolutely are born a moron LOL
Maybe you are right, I see your critical thinking skills didnt develop.
I agree there is nothing to wash there. Their mind has been a tabula rasa from the beginning and they will parrot anything.
They don't know he said this.
That's right. The "editorial" for small town papers around here, which are mostly owned by super rich people now is a satire bit about the editor making fun of himself wanting to be king, to try and make fun of the no kings movement. Nothing of actual substance ever enters conservative owned media outside of them making fun of it so their base sadly thinks they are being clever by rejecting opposing views.
Leopards been eatin' good since 2016.
What am I saying. These phat cats been eatin' good since Reagan.
Leopards been eating good for far longer than that. At least since politics was invented. Probably even before then.
It’s quite amazing how dumb these maga people continue to be.
I've heard the saying that they all consider themselves temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
they're stupid, a stupid person is one that does things to hurt others even if it hurts themselves. Trump's not stupid, his supporters are, as long as he keeps hurting the people they dislike, he can keep pissing and they'll cheer.
They like the piss. It's trickle down economics.
Cells. Lack of them to be specific. And brain ones to be more specific.
Of all the cells, the brain ones really are the most important of the cells.
They love it, also Trump told them it's raining.
He calls them stupid and they cheer.
They like it when he pisses in their face
They've all eaten their bananas, it's the antidote for piss in your face
