    What actually is so special about Trump besides the fact that he wants to become a dictator, a thing the average Trump supporter doesn’t even acknowledge? Most of the other republican candidates believe stuff just as backwards and dangerous as he does.

      If you honestly want to know, they are the party that hates the gub’ment. He’s not a politician, and they Believe that all their problems are from politicians taking away their freedoms. So when this rich guy says he’s going to go in there and drain the swamp, they see him like Braveheart fighting the evil king.

      It’s all bullshit, but that’s what they believe.

        It really is an impressive propaganda victory that they’ve painted corporations and ‘businessmen’ as being good and the government and it’s administrators as bad all while there’s plentiful evidence that the cause of so many worker’s plight is their corporate overlords.

      I may be mistaken but wasn’t there a striking similarity to past monsters in that prior to committing their atrocities that their supporters believed they were exaggerating or just outright lying about their intentions? Ex the Association of German National Jews endorsing Adolf Hitler.

      he hates the same people they do. The LGBTQ… the women… the brown people and the poors.

      evangelic christianity is less about… the teachings of jesus, and more … a cult of hatred.

    It’s another great reason to expel “god” from my life. I would not want to have to honor to any god that would give us an excremental pile of pigshit like trump.

    I mean… If the theory is that every baby born is thanks to god… Trump would fit the bill, no need to discuss anything else. Like it gave you Trump like it gave you Epstein.
