    The only thing more pathetic than him are the morons who got suckered into voting for him. I’m sure they are working on their rationalization for this now. They are like the fools who fall for romance scams and can’t admit they were duped.

      No it’s the inability to do anything about him. There’s no checks, no balance and people are just sitting back. It’s crazy.

      This has gone past his voters. A good majority of the USA is complicit.

      It’s really wild when some polling seems to indicate they are not satisfied with him, and yet… Poll or interviewer: would you vote for him again, tho?

      The mark/idiot: “Yep”

      They are so brainwashed that they simply cannot imagine voting for a Democrat, because that would make them gay or woke or whatever. The branding and the propaganda works on these people pretty much for life. This go-round they seem to think that voting was all about trans (“men in women’s sports”) or something.

        It basically boils down to teams. Do you abandon your baseball team because they suck? Nope, you cling to them like grim death. Trump is an incompetent senile psycho? Sure, but he’s “my team”. You’d have to abandon your identity to switch teams.

        When I talk to people I suspect are Trumpers (they never come right out to me) they go on about things like illegal immigrants. I just nod and think “How do they hurt you? You love having cheap labor working on your house. You’d never want one of the jobs they have.” Things that really effect them, like the economy or the massive class divide, don’t register with them.
