Trump believes if he can collect every redneck in America, he doesn't need anyone else.

Any day now, he will be making a jaunt down to the mountains of North Carolina to try and locate a couple of moonshiners he heard about on Twitter. He doesn't need any of that "uniting" nonsense. Once he gets the NASCAR voters, all the biker gangs, police unions, military retirees, pro-wrestling fans, the speaking-in tongues crowd, high school dropouts, and general illiterates, a couple of moonshiners should put him over the top.

He knows what appeals to them. That is why he likes to wrap himself in the American flag and talk about Two Corinthians. Say a few nasty words about those dirty and vicious Democrats who hate our country, and he believes that's enough to wrap up the next election.

Never under-estimate the value of hate and division. Mr Trump is attempting to corner the market.

We only need a few of their wives. Trump has told them that lying is ok. They can lie by telling their husbands they voted for Trump.

...or the NRA.

Or coal miners, or truck drivers, or talk radio listeners.

I believe it's just another lie and a big part of their sham. He knows Russia and the repug party will ratfuck the election and steal it for him, and uses this as his front, while laughing at the rednecks behind their backs. He intends to totally fuck them by taking away their Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, free public schools, healthcare, overtime, 40 hour work week. He just needs them to support him this one time before they realize the knife is in their own backs. If they steal the election in 2020, he & the fascists will have total control of our government and courts and our country will no longer be ours, or anywhere near the same.

Democratic every single time. Even though they took straight party ticket voting away in NC, I diligently make sure to vote for every single Democrat. I won't be deterred that easily.

I just hope there are more like me than them in NC and all other mostly "red," with some purple thrown in, states voting come November.

Enough of this Trump/Republican nightmare. I'm long since ready for them to pack their bags and leave our White House. Fucker shouldn't even be there, sullying up the place. I hope the next Democrat that gets there brings plenty of Trump Nastiness B Gone to exterminate and fumigate the place. They are gonna need it.
