Demented fellow drove from Arkansas with his Rottweiler and slowly talked about the wall and kept promises from a strong fighter. “Business owner” said he wears a mask when required, but wants to reopen for the sake of his employees. Didn’t say much about the criminal dereliction of duty, corruption and betrayal.

Reporter shoulda asked him.

We really hate that. Makes us really cry. Lick away you moronic inbred Covidiots. Open those Pie holes wide for mouth breathing, screaming and spitting. Let’s get some serious Darwinism going here in Tulsa. MAGA lives.........Nah, The world would be great with em gone on to that God that sent trump. “Go on, Get”, as Fallon says.

People with borderline personality disorder have difficulty with permanence and object relations. They are characterized by unstable relationships and an incomplete sense of self. They don't follow anyone because they are usually trying to find someone to "love" them. Their unstable sense of self, makes it difficult for them for form attachments. People with BPD can love you one minute and then think you are the worst person ever, the next.

Trump supporters are typically people who are so driven by grievance, racism, sexism, and their own self pity that they will follow a man who has utter contempt for them, but who promises to hurt people they perceive as the enemy. I would not label them as having a specific psychological condition, though they do appear to be very damaged.

Looks like Biden's ads are getting far more views online than you. Your poll numbers have you just slightly more popular than chlamydia. That mumblin' fumblin' stumblin' performance at West Point?

“He’s not hurting the people he needs to be”: a Trump voter says the quiet part out loud
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/1/8/18173678/trump-shutdown-voter-florida

“I voted for him, and he’s the one who’s doing this [shutdown],” Minton told Mazzei. “I thought he was going to do good things. He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.” [snip]

This is what makes Trumpism work. This is the dark heart of our political moment. Even people who are tremendously vulnerable themselves, like Crystal Minton, support Trump because of his capacity to inflict pain on others they detest. The cruelty, as the Atlantic’s Adam Serwer says, is the point.

reading news events, the climbing Covid19 rates in my Red state and the upcoming rally. Devotees will be signing waivers not to sue the sponsors or Trump if they get sick after screaming their hate cheers and spittle from their naked faces into each others' lungs.
Trump will be in AZ on the 23rd and his hate sick followers are already camping out at the venue. Trump's Governor Ducey at first implemented a curfew because so many red hats will be attending. Shortly after the Arizona Republic released the story, Ducey changed his mind. Must have gotten a call from his boss.

I'm usually a pretty mellow person but today I was like one of those school experiments where the students make little volcanoes, add baking soda to the bottom and then dump vinegar in the top. Except it was more like hot lava spewing out.
I think I even invented a couple of new cuss words.

After reading everyone's replies, I feel better. I'm not alone. So glad I found DU.

His most ardent supporters are racist who love the fact that they have someone like trump in the Whitehorse normalizing "EVIL" in the name of God. As long as they hate, they will support the one who hates. It's sad because trump is really using them, and they love it. They want hate to be the new normal. Race and religious hatred is in every culture. It's used by crooked politicians to control the masses and seize power. It never does anyone any good except the one who wields the power to energize the hate. People die, people are discriminated against, people are left powerless. In India Modi took away the citizenship of Muslims because of hatred of Muslims. Trump loved it and they love him. Bigots love each other because they can lean on one another for support and help with elections. So it's no surprise that these scumbag supporters have come out of the ground to show themselves to the world--they have nothing to be afraid of anymore, they have a leader whom they believe supports their worldview (he doesn't but he won't tell them that). Now we see them, now we know what they look like, we know where they come from. They proudly wear those stupid hats and carry around flags with idiot's face on it. They are so EVIL only God can save them.

Is to "own the libs". That is who they have been conditioned to hate. I don't think it's the issues that are their main focus, it's their fellow Americans who have different viewpoints that are the danger and must be decisively and visibly crushed.
