Dear MAGA: Answer just one question...

I have a college friend who loves Trump and any Republican, and hates Obama, Biden and any Democrat.

Smart! Has a professional medical degree! So do many of his friends.

You know “those” bogus emails that started flying during the Bush II years? Overwhelmingly, the ones I got came from him, all of them a Fwd, Fwd, Fwd, etc. So, not an original thinker. Takes what he gets as truth, never questions it, passes it on.

I can point and cite line and paragraph where his head is up his ass - I get told I have the derangement syndrome.

I’m thinking of throwing down on him, to answer one - JUST ONE - question:

“What is the ONE thing Trump has to do (or get caught at) for you MAGA types to say, ENOUGH!! and turn your allegiance from him?”
At this point I can only think of one. And, like Trump, it’s vulgar.

Before I do, what do you think would be the #1 thing Trump has to do (or get caught at) for the MAGA to turn from him? (And good luck with that.)

Would you continue to support Trump if conclusive evidence were produced proving any of the following:

1. He raped young girls?
2. He raped young boys?
3. He paid for his mistresses' abortions?
4. He personally performed his mistresses' abortions?
5. He paid to have someone murdered?
6. He personally murdered someone?
7. He sold classified national security information to Russia?

If you would continue to support him even if any of these things were proved, why?

he woke up tomorrow morning and said "from now on, I'm a Democrat." Until that happens, they never will.

My uncle can find an excuse for every single thing he does. Or at least he used to. We don't talk politics anymore; I put the kibosh on that years ago. My therapist at the time said that was "setting boundaries."
