Trump to City
Drop Dead
Literally

 

Fuck you very much Lindsay Graham.

 

I try not to think about how much the Russians and other bad actors are screwing with our social media through all of this.

 

His exchange with the female reporter today was one of the most disturbing things I've seen since 2017, and that's saying something. Classic abuser. He is dead man walking.

 

That's $1400 in U.S. dollars. I have a feeling a lot of our Great White North friends who survive this won't be able to come back next winter because they can't afford to.

 

It's a losing deal. You can't play the "I'm the all-powerful Daddy President" card and the "none of this is my fault" card at the same time. I mean, the racist fascist moron death cult will go for it, but they're not a majority. People forget, there was a HUGE cult of personality built around GW Bush after 9/11 and in the Iraq War. It was the "he'll keep us safe" idea and it won him re-election. After Katrina, when it was clear the whole thing was horseshit, he went to less than 30 percent job approval. If people start to think Trump doesn't care if they live, he will suffer accordingly.

 

I'm sorry I looked. I was not surprised at all, and that's just sad.

 

I wonder if people's willingness to see fault and "disapprove" of the leader of their party relates directly to that leader's ability to get reelected?

What I'm trying to say is, I assume a lot of Republicans will "snap out of it" mid-November, even if Trump wins, and decide "yeah, ya know, he does kind of suck." The driving force of their need to put up with or ignore his daily dumbassery will vanish once the motivation of an election is gone.

Some, obviously, are way too far down this path. The main Trumpster on my FB feed has recently taken the dive from "I consider both sides and just happen to chose conservative positions" to "Q is driving all that is happening in the government," "coronovirus is a conspiracy," and "No, obviously NYT is not a reputable source to use in a FB debate."
