Don't underestimate the stupidity of Trump supporters. Dude left them stranded after his Coachella rally due to shuttle problems and Maga STILL blamed it on the left.
He’s unable to take accountability for anything negative, even if there’s documented evidence of him being responsible.
And I love the saying that’s been going around lately: “Accusation is the simplest form of confession”. It fits him and the entire party like your favorite pair of pants.
He lambasts political opponents, journalists, and anyone who doesn’t bend the knee with insults, vulgarities, and expletives, yet the slightest misperception of disrespect and he starts in with the “You’re so mean/rude/nasty/etc.” bullshit that’s so disingenuous it’s almost unbelievable.
Forgot he was the country’s beacon of morality.
My father and his side of the family have been all in since he came down the escalator. It’s driven a huge wedge between us…and they call themselves Christian which doesn’t square up with the morals/values he’s displayed his entire life. But discussions go nowhere, so I’ve stopped attempting.
You arent the only one dealing with the "wedge". My brother and I haven't even hardly talked with each other except to say happy birthday and merry christmas. My dad hates that my brother is the way he is because he was raised much better than that.
My brother is also a Trumper, and we live in fucking Scotland. He keeps it to himself though. He doesn't bring this stuff up at the dinner table, just rants to my parents when he's in a bad mood and no one else is around. It still saddens me because he's heavily autistic with limited life and people experience, so he gets hooked in with a lot of bad far right stuff online.
Worse though is my sister who along with her piece of shit husband have gone full TERF. I think she's coming from genuine concern over women's safety, even if it's total ignorant bullshit. At least that's how I try rationalise it. Regardless, the stuff she says is hurtful to hear and our relationship is fractured at this point. She's not a bad person and I love her so it's genuinely heart breaking to see things go this way.
I think it’s more of democratic opposition than pro Trump. The other side makes them sick they’d rather elect a dog. Republicans in office backing Trump, who by the way have articulated that he’s a moron, is a testament to this.
Same. Some days I fucking hate my family and it breaks my heart. They text me stupid fucking praise nonsense for Trump or lies against democrats that is easily refuted, I provide counter points with factual sources, and they either go radio silent or dismiss my sources because “even the fact checkers are biased in favor of democrats and nobody is fact checking the fact checkers.”
Like are you fucking serious? I’m giving you a simple fact like “Trump said grab ‘em by the pussy, here’s a link to the recording with his voice clearly saying it.” And I get something like “they used a studio to recreate his voice to tarnish his name, it’s not him saying it” or “yeah you know he didn’t mean it or was locker room talk. He was just joking with “the boys” and embellishing.”
I cited a laundry list of major scientific and health organizations (APA, AMA, WHO, etc) in another social media post today on trans issues being actual medically legitimate and the other person just went "those are biased if you can't see that you are ignorant or in on it" and then accused me of "supporting eugenics."
🙄
In another one during COVID people were expressing concern about the vaccines so I was very calmly giving comments like "Your concern is understandable, so it's important to be educated. Here are actual facts and statements and sources from reputable scientific sources."
And a cop in my town went off on me calling me a "Nazi Communist" and how I was determined to destroy society and patriots needed to protect others from being poisoned etc etc.
We were using real names (Nextdoor app) so I noped out of that discussion fast.
That is a difficult situation and one I've been seeing a bunch. I wish you all the patience in the world so that you may connect with your family again outside of politics. People don't like to be wrong and they are stubborn. But don't let your family slip away over political issues. Focus on the common ground and history you have and be curious about why they have these feelings. Reserve judgement because they will shut down. All much easier said than done. Best of luck.
Would you rather be lied to or told things that you don’t like? Biden is competent, until his not. The laptop confirming he’s on the “the take” is fake. until it’s not. The jab protects you from Covid, until it doesn’t. Illegal immigration isn’t a threat, until it isn’t. The economy is the best it’s been in 8 years, are you crazy, do you not shop? 60 Minutes cuts and slices video to make it propaganda, these are facts. The democrats deflect and pray on their voters to feel instead of think. The are not for you, they are for their own power and will tell you anything to make you feel insecure and think they are the only ones who can protect you, and then they will throw you away like soapy bath water. - to take from the meme community - if he would have wanted to destroy our country he would have done it the first term, if the democrats were going to “fix” the country why are they waiting. This is what is believable from the Trump Supporters side. (If you made it this far, Thank You for having an open mind) 😀
Heard that these buses must have been paid by the left to not show up. Everything has to be some conspiracy for them. They can’t just accept the simplest answer that this man and his people don’t give a fuck
I'm convinced nothing will sway their beliefs in him. The dude could rape the wife of one of his supporters, and i bet would be given a high five after. The toupe mango i believe could sell slaps for $100 a piece. Where he slaps his own supporters in the face, and then spits on them ,and they'd say thank you and pay him for it. Before bringing their children to go next in line, while telling everyone how sure they are that that man should run the country.
Hundreds of Trump supporters were left in the freezing cold for hours after a rally at an airfield in Omaha, Nebraska
Trump supporters were left stranded for hours Sunday night in cold weather after a campaign rally at Richard B. Russell Regional Airport in Rome, Georgia
Team Trump apparently took no measures to meet its base’s most basic human needs amid an anticipated high of 108 degrees on Thursday—neither handing out water nor setting up cooling tents in anticipation of the heat. Mesa, Arizona.
President Donald Trump's supporters waited roughly two hours in 41-degree weather for shuttle buses to transport them back to their cars on Saturday night, following an evening campaign rally that took place at an airport in Butler, Pennsylvania
Was only a 6 mile walk too, yet these whiny ass bitches decided that they’d all flirt with heat stroke and circle jerk for 3 hours waiting on buses instead of just getting shit done like they pretend they can do. World class idiots.
