C'mon, Trumpers, how much longer will you fall for the con? Oh, that long

“Everybody plays the fool”

The Main Ingredient, 1972

I won’t bother reasoning with you.

As I’ve said before in this space, it’s my opinion that you folks who support Donald Trump are, by definition, incapable of that function, so it’s foolish to even try. You may think that’s harsh. I think it’s time-saving.

But I do have a question for you: Don’t you feel kind of stupid right now? Doesn’t the revelation that it was all a con leave you feeling like a sucker? Doesn’t simple human pride have you smarting, at least a little bit?

1. My wife had a semi-regular lunch with a longtime colleague/friend - who is a trumper.

Very decent dinner guest from my experience.
Usually they talk no politics.

Today my wife asked friend about 'the Hearings'.
Friend, said: "No way, don't go there. Want no part of them. . . Putin
never would have invaded Ukraine if trump was President . . . The Election
was probably rigged . . . I support trump'

They then had their usual long lunch, as if no such political thing was said.

[My wife found it depressing].

[My suspicion, is that the trumper thing comes from the large number of Hispanics
immigrating into the DC area.]

4. I commend your wife for being able to continue,

I'm to the point that I want nothing to do with them. I can work with them, but I won't socialize with them.

2. "It's easier to fool someone than to convince them that they've been fooled."

Attributed to Mark Twain.

3. No, they believe him.

And they don’t believe the facts as presented by the committee. You can’t feel stupid or like a fool of you don’t believe you’ve been either.

That’s the real problem when dealing with cultists, they don’t know they’re being duped. And there are a ton of them who would never send Тяцмр money and know he’s a conman but they just love how badly he pisses off “the libs”, which apparently includes anyone who isn’t on his side.

There’s literally nothing you can say to these people to wake them up.

5. My sense of the few trumpers I know, is not admiration or belief in trump,

but in their own needs.

They don't trust what they know of the Democratic Party.
