    Dumb motherfuckers deserve the consequences for their own actions. I don’t want them to suffer, but they disagree for some reason.

    His supporters no longer matter to him. They elected him, and now they serve no further purpose, at least not until he realizes that he’s going to need them to be violent on his behalf.

    Be prepared. [email protected] that shit.

    The question is, how much time until they realize it and how more time until they admit it.

      They will never realize it as long as they have Others to blame for it instead.

        ‘blame someone else’ has always been a part of the propaganda controlling them. its core to getting them to vote against their own best interests. it will always be someone elses fault

        Exactly. As long as Trump frames his lies properly to blame the left, liberals, Democrats, etc. they’ll believe and continue to follow him without question.

        At least they will be feeling the real consequences, regardless of their blindness to the cause, which was their own actions.

      It takes sustained “reality doesn’t not match internal model” for anything to happen. I’ll give them ten years for them to start saying “maybe I was wrong”. People are very very good at ignoring something they don’t want to see. Citation: global warming.

        We got ourselves an optimist here! I sincerity hope you’re right. But 40 years on and they still worship terrorists like Reagan. Call me sufficiently jaded. But I would love to be surprised.

    Do I get to post this in reply when someone reposts that article from Cracked every two weeks now?

        This one.

        TL;DR: In this article the author explains to us that rural Trump voters have been vilified by untrue stereotypes or assumptions about them perpetuated by urban Democrats, and that of course they must turn to Trump. The tentpoles upon which the author’s premise and viewpoint hang are untrue assumptions or stereotypes about urban Democrats.

        The article probably doesn’t literally get posted every two weeks, but I run across it amazingly often, and somehow no one ever describes it using the second sentence in my summary.

          Read the article, thanks for sharing. “The tentpoles upon which the author’s premise and viewpoint hang are untrue assumptions or stereotypes about urban Democrats.” Is an accurate assessment.

    Where it’s covered in all the colored lights
    Where the runaways are running the night
    Impossible comes true, it’s taking over you
    (Oh, this is the greatest show)

    We light it up, we won’t come down
    And the walls can’t stop us now
    Watching it come true, it’s taking over you
    (Oh, this is the greatest show)

    Betray? These idiots actually believed that their leader had any loyalty to them.

    Trump isn’t betraying anyone … he never had any loyalty to begin with.

    Think about this: Fucking Brazil is now seen as a more reliable trading partner than the US.
