It's both sad and scary that so many in our country are this far off the deep end.

Trump fangirl - “I cry every time I see him. Sounds gay, I know. But to me he is America…..that man is America.”

First response - “I cry too.”

Second response - “Damn straight…..right there with you. That’s exactly why they want to crush him.”

Just think, there are tens of millions in this country just like her. Friday or Saturday I was watching CNN interview some Trumpers. They said everybody was lying about the election - Federal judges, Supreme Court, politicians, and all the media. The only person telling the truth was Trump. The biggest liar in American political history was the only person they believed.

this yahoo is a sight to make eyes sore.

This idiot is likely oblivious to the fact that Trump would consider him a dirtball slob and unworthy of his attention.

And he proudly wants the world to know his mental age is 11!

And it took a man like trump to bring them out in the open. And in a way, we can thank his fat ass for that. We know what we're dealing with. They're not hiding under respectability blankets anymore.

There is no conservative movement anymore. It's lost all meaning that it once had. It got hijacked by Rush Limbaugh, then it got hijacked by Glenn Beck and Fox News. Then that got hijacked by Alex Jones and Breitbart. It's no wonder they are so far off the deep end. Actual news gets lost in a sea of bullshit.

is called a RINO and threatened with an expensive primary challenge. I hate to think what it will be like in a few years.

of the Trumpers in the USA believe him because they are truly racists, homophobes, bigots, and purposely ignorant anti-science fools. The 40% represent roughly 30 million self-labeled MAGA cultists who are a disgrace to the values and morals of our country, and their "Leader" is an out-and-out criminal and amoral anti-social misfit.

That there are so many potential domestic terrorists in this country is a testament to the lack of moral leadership during the recent era of right-wing control of our political structure at all levels of government. Hopefully, this trend can be reversed over the next few years through Liberal moral and value-driven leadership.

On issues ranging from abortion to marriage to drugs to how history is taught, many conservative Christians feel like cultural walls are closing in on them—a feeling of persecution encouraged by talk radio, cable news, and online personalities. Liberals may disregard these concerns as overblown and progressives may consider them illegitimate, but many conservative political and religious figures find themselves hopeless or even panicked.
