We need an equivalent of Poe's Law for parodies of right-wingers.

7. The Whole Trump Presidency Has Been One Treasonous Act After Another.

Nov 2020

At every turn, the constitutional government of the United States, and the will of the people, has been trampled on and subverted in favor of the ends or objectives of either the president himself, or Uncle Vlad, or his favorite dictator / autocrat of the moment.

The republicans have been the party of treason for a long time. Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush, Bush the sequel, Trump.
And not to forget the nightmare of the McCarthy era, that indirectly gave us Trump, through Roger Stone (with Roy Cohn).

10. I've heard variations of this from Trumpers (and before them Tea Partiers)

Trump actually epitomizes this thinking. In his mind, the POTUS is an absolute monarch. What he says goes. He's inculcated his followers with this same thinking, to the extent that most of them no longer think critically anymore. I think that there's a real shockwave coming when these people no longer are able to rely upon the president to do their thinking for then.

Lock him up.

14. We are retired and President Trump havs been good for the econony just look at the stock market.....

...... OH WAIT! WE don't have any money in the stock market never had.

And besides, he GOT a booming economy from the black guy PRESIDENT OBAMA and soon to be President Biden.

So I know I'm wasting my time by thinking you need or want Trump to just continue stealing away your benefits BUT that is what you are getting.

Just steal all my money now Social Security, Medicare, and Obamacare because I want the rich to be richer while making me poorer.

It's called pissing down economy.

The republicans have been lying about it for years and apparently, it works on the stupid half of the country.

I wish there was a way to get that through the brainwashed FOX fed lies.
