How do people consider voting for this slimy ball of human waste?

The holy trinity. qAnon, Fox News and the Bible (but not the woke parts where Jesus was a communist)

(R)

That's literally all there is to it, after 30 plus years of conservative media brainwashing people.

Don't forget Putin had a hand in there, along with his cyber operations and GOP/NRA cash.

To own the libs, of course.

I have seen two of my neighbors flying the Trump flag. I feel its like flying the confederate flag. A declaration that you are a racist evil POS.

[–] pottedmeat7910@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

That kind of behavior is like taking a giant dump on the front lawn and thinking the neighbors are jealous.

More like unchecked propaganda.

Because they are bigots. They genuinely want to hurt "those people". They are afraid of being called out on their bigotry, so like to see people in power act the same way. Because they're bigoted themselves, they see bigotry in leaders as "telling it like it is".

Brain disease? At the very least a broken Bullshit detector.

In all seriousness I contribute it to a lack of critical thinking skills. Which I guess could be argued is a “broken bullshit detector” so maybe I wasn’t joking after all.

Because they too are slimy balls of human waste. They don't want things to get better, they just want the "other side" to hurt more.
