Rs have always united in their club. Matt gates hire prostitutes that cool. Obama has a tan suit they flip out.
Michelle made a monkey noise talking with her daughter for laughs they proclaimed she’s unlady like. Meanwhile Melania has literally nudes and wears i dont care jackets.
I could go on but we know conservatives are united with no standards. It’s a super power at this point compared to left side that demands perfection.

I remember my father being so angry about Clinton that the veins in his neck and face were bulging. He thought Clinton should be hanged, at the time, for adultery and betraying the country.
Now this fat orange fuck is worshiped. I will never understand how they fell for this. The moral compromise needed to support a clown show.

they do whatever the ultra wealthy tell them to do.
ideology is not a functional concept in politics. it’s all vibes and manipulation in the service of the 1%

I mean, at a high level, I guess so. At human level where these are real people with relationships and thoughts and feelings, it is mind blowing.
Some of them now approve of everything they stood against. Whatever the propaganda that got them there, it’s wild. These are people that I respected and thought had wisdom and they have fallen for such a shallow con.

Many have referenced Nineteen Eighty-Four without reading it, and ironically then engaging in Doublethink.

Clinton was in favor of abortion and women’s rights. As Trump is against both, he is ‘God working in mysterious ways’ and therefore should be seen as a sign of divine providence.
I wish I was joking.

They fell for nothing. This is the expression of their evil nature, full stop.
If anything you’re falling for their act! Stop assuming decency or rational self interest is at work in the math they do, it isn’t.

Oh good grief, of course they fell for it. Not that I don’t blame them for it. However, they absolutely fell for a con. To say otherwise is immature or unrealistic black and white thinking.
I’m angry with them, will likely never trust or respect them again. They’re humans just like we are, they aren’t acting, they aren’t completely indecent, and so on.
Just because the fascist side dehumanizes its enemies doesn’t mean we should. It’s also not very effective when you’re trying to predict what they’ll do and how they’ll react. You have to be able to understand the minds of your antagonists to effectively counter them.

Stupid people are easy to manipulate.

Many of these aren’t stupid people. That’s a cop out we tell ourselves to feel superior. Willful ignorance is closer to the truth.
