        this is the most confusing thing to me, why are so many people still voting for him?

        i swear the RNC could run a fucking rock they found on the road as a candidate and it would get 40% of the votes.

          Brainwashed is all I can say. I run in some circles with conservative folks, and you can point out every reason why trump is a shit show, and you’re still gonna get "well uh bengazi er that pizza place uh Hunter Biden’s laptop. They hear what they want to hear, they don’t dig for the truth, and they buy any of the shit fox news shovels in their mouth.

            yeah idk it’s fucking depressing that i have to exist around people like this. Meanwhile socially and economically i’m treated worse just for being on the fringes of socialization. Meanwhile i’m also not a literal fascist, but apparently that’s not good enough.

            gotta love society i guess.

        I imagine for some of those folks being a part of a group that demands nothing other than your agreement is better than belonging to a group demanding a truthful relationship to the facts and their impact.

      When reading your list my mind went to ‘bad cellmate’ and I suddenly realized that if Trump were ever convicted, he would have a cell mate. Can you imagine the sheer horror at finding out you would be spending years locked in a cage with Trump?

        Trump has been convicted, 34 times, actually. Will he go to prison is the question. If he does, I doubt he’d have a cellmate. He’ll probably be in a Four Seasons version of prison.

        Oh, it wouldn’t be years. I’ll take the extra time in exchange for some peace and quiet.

      It really is. Is there a bigger loser in history? I mean, he fucking bankrupted a casino during the casino boom. Then got bailed out by a coal baron he appointed to secretary of commerce. Coincidence I’m sure…

      Your on to something, he does have the best worse record:

      presidential circle of suck

      Icing on the cake is that he might “lose third term” for first time ever (not 100% if that hasn’t been done before though)
