As the deadline for Donald Trump’s bond approaches, the anticipation heightens, and the predictions made by his biographer seem to strike a nerve. The essence of Trump’s character, or lack thereof, is not a new revelation for those who have been paying attention. The biographer’s characterization of Trump as lacking maturity, insight, and wisdom resonates with many who have witnessed his actions over the years.
The idea that Trump does not anticipate problems properly, and the assertion that he is akin to a juvenile delinquent in his decision-making processes, is not a shocking revelation. It is a sentiment that many have felt and expressed, particularly in light of his handling of various situations, from his response to the COVID-19 pandemic to his business dealings.… Continue reading
It’s no surprise that newly released transcripts reveal that Donald Trump never truly cared about Ashli Babbitt. Trump, a self-proclaimed narcissist and sociopath, only views relationships as transactional. If you are no longer useful to him, you are disposable. His lack of empathy and genuine concern for others is evident in his actions, or lack thereof, when told of Babbitt’s death. There was reportedly “no, like, reaction” from Trump, further solidifying his self-centered nature.
Trump’s base, much like Trump himself, values winning and strength above all else. To them, if you are no longer relevant or beneficial, you are cast aside.… Continue reading
In the midst of political speeches and rebuttals, one particular story caught the attention of many individuals – the graphic tale shared by Trump supporter Katie Britt about a 12-year-old who had been raped over 100 times due to sex trafficking. The details provided were distressing, to say the least, and painted a vivid picture of a horrifying situation. However, as further investigation reveals, it appears that Britt may have been caught in a significant lie.
The woman whom Britt spoke about has actually shared her story publicly multiple times, including to Congress. The events she described did not even take place in the United States but rather in Mexico during George W.… Continue reading
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.
