So many leopards eating faces. This is a cult of idiots, the only thing that seems to be pulling them out of the spell is this scandal that would make Watergate pale.

So we found the cultists breaking point: Something universaly moraly reprehensible that is undeniable in-front of their own eyes, and for him to contradict himself within days.
Some of them, anyways.
Yuup, there are plenty that would believe him if he said he was Jesus. The ones that seemingly have no breaking point.
There are plenty who would believe him if he came out and said Jesus was a dirty socialist loser and they shouldn't be Christians anymore.
Being loyal to ANY politician is insane.
I love Bernie. While I don't agree with him on everything, he's consistently been on the moral right side of most issues. Here he is being arrested for protesting segregation in 1963:
However. If he did even 1% of the things Trump did, I would call him out for it, demand he do better, and support his primary challengers if not. Unconditional loyalty to a politician doesn't keep them in check, and actually harms us all...
Agreed. I like Bernie and AOC not because I always agree with them but because they both seem to be trying to make things better.
+1.
Even if someone wholesome (Mamdani?) somehow took over the Democrats, or any cool party, I would never be "loyal" to them.
Maybe this is my old millennial ass shaking my fist, but I don't get why folks are loyal to influencers. Loyalty should be two way and reciprocal, to friends and family one knows personally, not asymmetrically to someone who makes a living from thousands following them.
Respect and admiration? Fine. But this guy's a poster child for why loyalty is too far. After all, what does Trump think of him?
Seeing “old millennial ass” just seems so wrong.
We’re the young generation, right? We’re like, 25 at most. Right?
I’m 40. Oh my god. I need a Camaro and a broccoli haircut so I can fit in with the hip crowd. Broccoli hair is still a thing right? Haha
Man it goes so fast.
(hehe), sure brother, you're still young. ::cracks open a beer and hands it to you:: have a seat in this lawn chair next to Gen X and tell us about it.
What’s funny to me is I grew up on gen x music and I remember looking up to those guys so much. They all looked like grown folks to me.
Now when I watch the videos, I see kids. It’s crazy.
This is a relatively new thing for me too.
Trump literally told them that he will not need them after this again. No, he does not want or care for their support!
"In four years, You don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good. You're not going to have to vote."
I've never heard of people harassing a Trump supporter unless the Trumpet was baiting them.
Key feature for republicans is that they are persecuted at every turn. Just like Jesus!
“My neighbor is gay. He has a rainbow flag on his car, and sometimes his boyfriend visits him. Help, I’m so persecuted!”
Know when you get the joke a few minutes after everyone else laughed at it and it's pretty embarrassing?
Imagine being a decade behind the curve.
Too bad they didn't get it before November and locking us in for 4 years.
Anyways, I'm glad all those bad things happened to him.
4 years if we're lucky
it wasn't even a decade, its been probably 40 years of trump having terrible media coverage
Imagine losing a job and friendships to worship the star of NBC's The Apprentice.
Imagine losing your own family because they chose to do that.
Oh wait, I don't have to, went no contact years ago.
Imagine thinking you are the victim because you supported trump.
Imagine voting for quite possibly the biggest conman in the 21st century and get surprised when he pulls the rug out from under them.
These people are the reason why our nation's average IQ 98.
Is this supposed to be an insult? It kind of reads like one, but setting aside any questions of IQs validity, it is laid out such that 100 is average.
So what you’re saying essentially is that the nation's average IQ is average, which is not an insult in my book.
in agreement with the validity of all your points, but counterpoint: for the supposed greatest nation on earth, an IQ below average is kind of embarassing. doesn't matter how much below - it's below average for the greatest nation. obviously that's a subjective qualification, but imo those are mutually exclusive statements.
Greatest nation shit is embarrassing. IQ test results from different cultures is interesting. Miss me with your embarrassment, first learn what an IQ test is testing
🤣 this shit made my morning.
Well bye, I guess. Took him 10 years to figure out that voting for the "Punch me in the dick, repeatedly" party wasn't a great idea.
Caring about the Epstein Files, while also voting for Epstein's long time good buddy. Hmm...
