    It boggles the mind that this sack of shit is even in the running.

    He has the charisma of a wet sponge (and the appearance of someone you’d think twice before buying a used car from), he can hardly string together a sentence (let alone hold a speech), hi lies, he commits fraud, he’s a convicted felon…

    That’s hardly brushing the surface, yet people go “fuck yeah, this guy should run the country”.

    Jeebuz fuckin christ… what’s happening?

    Unless you got home schooled by Heinrich Himmler, there’s no excuse. You can’t possibly offer your political support to such a scumbag.

      When a society puts money above all else Donald Trump is what happens. He was a celebrity failed businessman long before he became president, he knows what gets Americans excited.

      I was at a pumpkin patch 25 minutes out of Chicago on Saturday and there was a man proudly wearing a shirt with Trump on it and the shirt said, “I’m voting for the convicted felon”. His voter base does not fucking care, at all.

        They are under the assumption that both sides are equally bad and want to see it all burn down I think. They don’t think much further however.

          I know a lot of Trump supporters. Without fail their support is based on hate. LGBTQ, immigrants, the belief that Democrats are child molesters, etc. I’ve heard it all. They don’t know what his policies are, nor do they care.

      I don’t watch a lot of TV, so I don’t see ads much, but just saw an ad from the turnip who was railing against they/them pronouns…the level of hate from the turnips is insane. It’s like if Hitler was running and railing against jews. How is this shit allowed on tv…next he’s gonna be saying minorities should be hung.

      I was talking with my mom the other day and apparently their neighbors, who up until now had never shown any political affiliation at all, put up a Trump flag. They’ve been neighbors for like 20 years haha, my mom was shocked.
