He doesn’t give a flying fuck and neither do any of his supporters. He could murder a child on tv and nothing would be done about it.

The video was AI. The grieving parents are crisis actors. The child was an illegal immigrant and had it coming.

I can imagine the mental gymnastics already.

The problem isn't proving that voting for that pair of morons was a mistake, the problem is getting the numbskulls who voted them in to admit they made a mistake.

Even when the shitstorm the orange utan and his couch fucker sidekick have unleashed hits them, they still won't admit they were wrong: they'll just say they were deceived.

People honestly need to learn this. Shaming shitty people every time they do a rare good thing is a terrible fucking strategy.

They’ll never admit it. We will just notice the trump flags coming down. And eventually they’ll say they were never for it. But it may take decades.

Literally what happened last term. They all believed their own bullshit even though they voted for him all three times. The collective amnesia is real.

They 1984 themselves out of self preservation because admitting they are capable of making mistakes is in stark contrast with their ego.

I'm not sure if it's a new phenomenon or the internet has just made it easier to spot but there are vast swaths of people who live their lives with zero doubts of their past present and future, despite a third party view displaying massive incongruent behavior.

Attributing it to stupidity understates what is being observed here. It is an all encompassing psychosis.

For or against won't matter when he's made king.

Temporary Alabama resident here. Definitely a lot more trump signs going down recently. No ones that excited anymore

You still give them way too much credit for being able to take any accountability.

They will blame it on Democrats still, or unironically, on "Satan".

"If Satan is fighting so hard against Trump by crashing the economy and testing our faith, you know Trump must be doing something right, and following the path of God".

Their base doesn't care. They move from topic to topic and focus on the latest outrage of the week. Just like everybody else. This is not exclusive to the conservatives, and pointing it out to anybody will not change their mind in the slightest.
