That's an understatement. They think he's a genius.

Many actually think experts, scholars, and professors are actually incredibly stupid. They truly do see themselves as superior to them.
I work with a 50+ woman in a factory who only gets "news" off facebook, believes all experts are idiots, and didn't know what fascism is. Worse, yet she tries and gives people with life and financial advice despite having filed for bankruptcy twice and having 4 failed marriages. ALL 100% TRUE!!
Their inability to self-reflect is staggering.
It really is!
Because they know their beliefs do not bear examination.
I've begun to wonder if many have become so delusional that they believe their own BS at this point. It would explain why so many Conservatives think the economy was horrible under Biden and is now somehow better under tRump. Otherwise, it's completely nonsensical.
The MAGAts are ponds in this evil plot.
I can't see any logic behind tariffs, conservatives views on the economy, and practically everything else. The only possible answers are complete total incompetence or an attempt to turn us all into Serfs. Considering the state of things, I'm leaning towards total incompetence.
Don't forget the big beautiful factories with millions of screws that you can work your entire life in. Then your kids can work there too. I lean in the surf direction, but yes, the incompetence is off the charts.
How about we compromise and say that it's both. Thankfully, they're so incompetent that their's little to worry about, in my opinion. We're just going to have to suffer for a while.
They are the epitome of ambition and narcissism running amok. It's as if they watched "Dr. Stangelove."
It's a combination of confirmation bias and refusal to admit they've been conned.
I WANT to agree, but with so many, I think they're just purely delusional.
One of my neighbors who is full-on MAGA told me that USAID was a worldwide transgender operation whose purpose was to change childrenβs genders. And this was why Trump had to shut it down. When I told him the agency was promoting America values and feeding the hungry he said I was crazy.
But a transgender operation? π€―π€―π€―
MAGA will believe anything! Itβs sad!
Sadly, this doesn't surprise me. My supervisor at work is a HARDCORE Xtian Conservative and believes Covid was fake and that the moon landing was also fake.
Yup, all voices, even the most ridiculous, demand to be taken with equal seriousness, and any claim to the contrary is dismissed as undemocratic elitism. People glance at WebMD or Wikipedia, and firmly believe they know more that the experts. Itβs crazy!
They've done their "research".
Well look at where he is. He defeated all of the people they hate. I don't understand it myself, I know people who joined the cult but can you see how they would think that? How did we get here?
It is a means to an end for all of his enablers.
When you value tribalism and racism over your own self-interest.
They literally light their own shit on fire to "own the libs".
Hatred of all non-White people is the tie that binds his cult members together.
Sadly, it serves us right. So many idiots didnβt vote, or voted third party. Some even wrote in a name!! Elections are so important. Hoping people learned their lesson. Also, hoping we will have a country by next elections.
Many did vote. Over 8 million votes were thrown out last election. From voter suppression laws to illegible post marks to culling voter rolls. How many swing states elected a Dem senator and then voted for Trump? Make that make sense.
I wouldn't vote Dems down ballot and Trump at the top of the ticket. I'd vote for a write-in before the Antichrist
It doesn't pass the smell test. Neither did his "assassination attempt".
Yeah but 2 had to die and 2 others injured (not counting Trumps fake ear injury), if it was faked. Just a couple inches to the left is all we needed
His ear was not shot. There is no sign of injury there whatsoever.
Compared to anyone who nicked their ear with a razor
Or had a pack of red dye
When cousins fuck cousins...
I guess as long as your IQ is negative, all's wellπ€ͺ
The left side of the Bell Curve should start with negative numbers.
$2.21 for petrol? I paid Β£1.33 (and a pound is more than a dollar) at my local filling station yesterday!
Thatβs a gallon as opposed to a litre.
Currently here in MA, it's about $2.67/gal (almost 4 ltrs).
In france itβs currently β¬1.65 a litre. In the uk itβs Β£1.38 a litre. Still way more expensive than the us
Some of the cost of gas in the US is taxes attached. In MA it's 37 cents out of that $2.74. In the UK, roughly 65% of the price of the gas is from taxation. I think that's a good thing, because:
I know what you mean. I just sanded and refinished a water damaged area on my hardwood floor and it made me happy and satisfied.
The red hats are all the sign you need.
Let us down some more, please.
Eric Hoffer's The True Believer is a must read.
Agreed. Tyrants attract cults of believers who are immune to rationality, but are massively zealous.
It's exactly the same as religion. Same mindset. Suffer now for a glorious, undefined future with no timeline.
Or, you could suffer now with NO future.
That's the reality, but not what they believe.
