But holy fuck it's hard to maintain that practice when dealing with Trump KKKultists.

(4,913 posts)I seek out Trump voters. I do not insult them. I confront them with facts and the truth. Every fucking one of them respond in the same way. What about, what about, what about, what about. They are idiots, I shame them, make them realize they only respond with, what about.
Whenever they say, what about, I hit them again with facts and the truth.

(16,887 posts)but I believe he had the ability to attempt a coup was because the REPUBLIQANS ALLOWED him to. The hitched their wagon to that horse's A$$ and rode him to all of their 'wet dreams' - tax cuts for the rich and MAJOR CONTROL of the USCS!
They DO NOT like him - but they ARE afraid of him - but they like the way he let them do what they wanted - so why change? He was NOT hurting them - unless you crossed him........
