Living in a rural area and witnessing the mindset of white Trump supporters firsthand, I can attest to the alarming threat they pose to democracy. The level of disinformation and propaganda that has seeped into their isolated communities is truly astonishing. Decades of consuming right-wing media has led to a serious intellectual malnourishment, turning once tolerant and kind-natured individuals into hostile, paranoid, and extremely well-armed zealots.
The divide between college-educated individuals and those with only a high school education has widened, with rural areas bearing the brunt of economic hardships brought on by decades of Reaganomics. These individuals have been convinced by the likes of Fox News that they too will become millionaires under the leadership of Trump.… Continue reading
Trump supporters have taken their unwavering loyalty to the next level by starting a GoFundMe page to pay off the staggering $355 million fine imposed on the former president. It’s both astounding and baffling to witness how these individuals are so blindly devoted to a man who has continuously proven himself to be corrupt and self-serving. The sheer absurdity of this situation highlights the cult-like mentality that surrounds Trump and his supporters, where they are willing to sacrifice their own financial well-being to appease their idol.
The fine in question is the result of fraudulent practices that Trump engaged in during his time in office, yet his supporters seem eager to rally behind him and financially support his legal defense.… Continue reading
When I saw the headline about a Trump supporter becoming a diehard fan after witnessing him hug the American flag, I couldn’t help but shake my head in disbelief. How could such a simple gesture, so devoid of substance, have such a profound impact on someone’s political allegiance? It became clear to me that these individuals were easily swayed by shallow displays of patriotism, rather than focusing on the actual policies and principles that truly matter.
The fact that some people fell for this stunt is a testament to their gullibility. As the saying goes, “You’ve got to remember that these are just simple people.… Continue reading
Reflecting on Mitt Romney’s recent statement about some Trump supporters being “out of touch with reality,” it is interesting to see the reaction and comments that have followed. While Romney’s choice of words may have been soft, many individuals have strong opinions and believe that the issue extends beyond just “some” supporters. As one commenter pointed out, it seems that a significant portion of Republicans may be out of touch with reality, leading to a division within the party and a sense of in-fighting.
However, some also criticize Romney for speaking out only now, as he is about to leave office.… Continue reading
I’ve wondered the same thing, and have concluded there are 2 groups.
The first are rural imbeciles who literally are THAT dumb that they can’t see a walking cartoon conman. These are the same people who give TV preachers their money and so on.
The second, and larger group, are people who know full well that he’s a liar and a crook and a cheat and everything else, but they don’t care because he’s on THEIR side, and they WANT him to do whatever it takes to “win” their white culture war and make liberals cry.
I’d argue there’s a third group.… Continue reading

I sure have made use of this quote a lot recently:
His fans don’t care that he didn’t pay taxes. His fans don’t care if he cheated on his taxes. His fans don’t care that he lies about his taxes. His fans care that he hates, and tries to hurt, the same people they hate.
