They don't think. To me they are a cult. They like to say they're a political party but look at them. They'd bow down to their cult leader and kiss his smelly feet if he asked them to do that.
Think? They don't think. They worship this thing. I don't get it. Then again I still can't believe that thing was elected president, so what do I know?
First Lady Michelle Obama wearing a dress that showed her shoulders had them all shook up. While this piece of sludge they adore? What is wrong with this picture?

I can understand the GOPers playing up to these bizarre people - it's all about gaining/retaining power, damn morality, damn the consequences for our government. What continues to floor me: I always knew there were some wackos out there on the fringe, but who the heck knew there were so many of them?

Lani, It's true and it's a little scary. No. It's very scary! How can those who support trump not see who and what he really is?
Is this the best the Republicans have to offer?

birdgal, what is interesting (and frightening) from an anthropological perspective is that some of them see him for exactly as he is and they love him all the more for it. He represents the Freudian Id that they have always wanted to express and now they get to do it freely because he shows that you can do so and still be revered (albeit by the crazies) and still become a leader of a first world country (when we collectively become too apathetic to prevent it as we did in 2016 election) and never actually face the consequences of your actions. And if you do experience consequences (E. Jean Carroll monetary punishment) you ignore them because no one actually holds you to them by doing anything that truly matters to him. If he's ordered to pay $5M, he simply won't. Not sure if the courts will seize any property of his to liquidate and pay out the plaintiff, but even if they do, it's not enough to matter to him. The worst punishment for a narcissist like him would be to suddenly make him irrelevant and ignored, no attention whatsoever as though he's invisible and no one listens or hears him and simultaneously seize and liquidate every piece of property that he holds dear (including his orange glowstick makeup, ill-fitting blue suits and whatever products he uses that turns his cotton candy hair into a combover). Short of that, no consequence will be effective on a sociopath like him. And we all suffer the consequence for it by having to deal with the cult members and be constantly inundated with their existence (kid you not, some white ladies went to a trump rally wearing tshirts that said "Blacks for Trump" and some other women in american flag printed outfits said that he was sent here from god and that he may not know it, but he was indeed chosen for us lucky ol' americans!).

finreporter, well said. I've always said Trump behaves like cat would if it were human - without the affection that cats occasionally show. Well, it would have to be a megalomaniac cat...

I know. It's like the far right is involved in a death match with what they love to call "the radical left" and anything is OK as long as they win.

I canβt believe people like boebert and MTG get voted in. Their supporters must be just like them.

I just had to take a course training on active shooter drill (for work) and it makes me so angry that this is a way of life our government has collectively accepted since you have a handful of politicians paid via legal corruption (lobbying) to ensure we don't enact common sense gun laws. Plus the "ma freedums" 2A crowd (would say something worse than "crowd" but trying to keep it PG here).
My children have to do active shooter drills at school regularly, plus the schools put in several measures to help protect the kids/staff. Seems ridiculous we do all these measures but not ever address the actual elephant in the room (the ease with which people can access their stupid and unnecessary weapons).
