From the mouths of Trump supporters...

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-2024-2666848835/

"'He's a fighter': Trump supporter says he's looking forward to denying 2024 election loss'

'In all, the poll found that just 31 percent of Republicans think President Joe Biden was legitimately election, down from 39 percent in 2021; that only 18 percent of Republicans believed the riots were mostly violent, down from 26 percent in 2021; and that just 14 percent of Republicans think Trump bears responsibility for the riots, down from 27 percent in 2021.

What's more, many Republican voters surveyed told pollsters that they believed baseless claims about the FBI instigating the riots. "It was planned," 68-year-old Jacksonville resident Gloria Bowden told the Post's pollsters. In addition to this, some Trump supporters told pollsters that they were looking forward to him not conceding defeat should he lose again in 2024.

“He’s a fighter — he loves to get in that courtroom and would appeal anything that’s up against him, and I think that’s what people really like about him,” 49-year-old Arkansas resident Michael Bettger told the Post.'

My words: These people are completely detached from reality. They need a psychiatrist.

Obviously both are a waste on MAGA’s being in the clergy most certainly does not help.

Some background: Iowa was the king of wrestling until 12 years ago when Penn State became a wrestling dynasty. Iowa fans are desperate, so desperate that they are bringing in AJ Ferrari who was accused of rape, later settled out of court, and his 2 brothers to be the heroes to dethrone Penn State. Ok. State even dismissed AJ. Aj wrestled in a tourney this past weekend and seemed to beat another Iowa kid in the finals until he shoved the kid and threw 2 punches at him and the ref disqualified him. The Iowa fans booed so AJ did a split on the mat and flipped everyone a double bird, but I have no doubt that won't stop him from going to Iowa.

So social media lit up about AJ's antics and I see this from a rabid Iowa fan, Ironbird, on Penn State's wrestling forum.

Ironbird you need to move to PA, run for office and get the godforsaken PA worthless politicians and illegal election BS straight it the state that took the election from the real winner!🙏
I do like RURAL PA, just like UPSTATE NY and other nice open areas where one can live their lives pretty much as they wish. Where I am from is still a pretty good place to live but FADING fast!!! Many will not understand, but the OTHER sides goal, is to turn every place into a sh*t hole!!!

The cities in PA are for the most part as bad as NYC!!! Absolute disgrace what is taking place. Yet the GOOD people will NOT take a stand until it is too late many times. Look at the SCUMBAGS that some places have elected who SUPPORTED the TERRORISTS who killed innocent men , women and children!!! Raped women, burned children alive etc.....

MAGA to you and to GODS ears, us PATRIOTS have got to get this correct and RIGHT NOW!!!!!

Gotta admit IB on both feeds adds entertainmemt and wrestling expertise! Love his politics too! Keep it coming!
TY, LOVE wrestling more then anyone will ever know. Can not get enough of it and will FIGHT like MAD to keep it the sport that it is!!!

Most of the sports that I knew and loved have turned to crap. The NFL is a joke, NBA Basketball is a disgrace. Hardly can watch a baseball game anymore. Have respect for the NHL but they never did anything to improve the action, which I guess is OK because the hardcore fans of Hockey love it the way it is!

Keep checking in because right about now it is starting to get REAL as OUR HAWK TEAM is ramping up for a BIG run!!! AJ and the Ferraris are driving these people mad!!! The REAL fans will admit AJ is a HUGE threat to brooks! Other will pretend he is not but they all know!!!

This is just a small taste, he also wants Trump to win and purge the woke people in Pennsylvania. Not sure what he means by purge; imprison, deport, murder?

Convincing people that Trump really did lose an election, but it was best for the country if he remained in power. And by that belief, they can justify violence at the Capitol as a righteous tactic.

so they've been well trained to believe a lot of stupid stuff that they'd know wasn't true if they ever read that book they're thumping at the rest of us.

Crooked preachers sold them on the idea that god works through flawed men and sent them Motherfucker to bring on the Rapture.

These people were loony before Motherfucker came along. They'll be loony after he does the world a favor and chokes on a Big Mac and shuffles off this mortal coil. We can tolerate loonies babbling and writhing on the floor or dancing around holding poisonous snakes, they show us that too much of anything is a bad idea.

I'm afraid he's going to hang around as long as his dad did, which means there are going to be another 15 years of loonies acting out with guns. This is the worst of it, it will decrease over time.

Unfortunately, there aren't enough psychiatrists in the world for all the loonies. Valium in the drinking water would help a lot, but I don't see that happening.

Did his dad eat only McDonalds and KFC, or had he consumed a vegetable or two in his lifetime? Did he drink 12 diet Cokes a day? What about popping Adderals for decades like children with jelly beans on Easter morning? Or have the weight of most of the country wanting him dead sitting on his shoulders? Genes account for a lot, but will they stand up to that onslaught on his body? We can only hope not.

If you still support TFG you are insane and need psychiatric help. There needs to be new mental crisis centers that exclusively deprograms these people to get them to at least accept the realit the TFG is a conman man who lost the 2020 election and will lose the 2024 election. They are brainwashed and he is stealing their money to maintain his rich lifestyle.
