Trump supporters see a successful president and are frustrated with critics who dont

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

MELBOURNE, Fla. — Many of President Trump’s most dedicated supporters — the sort who waited for hours in the Florida sun this weekend for his first post-inauguration campaign rally — say their lives changed on election night. Suddenly they felt like their views were actually respected and in the majority.

But less than one month into Trump’s term, many of his supporters say they once again feel under attack — perhaps even more so than before.

Those who journeyed to Trump’s Saturday evening event on Florida’s Space Coast said that since the election, they have unfriended some of their liberal relatives or friends on Facebook. They don’t understand why major media outlets don’t see the same successful administration they have been cheering on. And they’re increasingly frustrated that Democrats — and some Republicans — are too slow to approve some of the president’s nominees and too quick to protest his every utterance.

“They’re stonewalling everything that he’s doing because they’re just being babies about it,” said Patricia Melani, 56, a Jersey native who now lives here and attended her third Trump rally Saturday. “All the loudmouths? They need to let it go. Let it go. Shut their mouths and let the man do what he’s got to do. We all shut our mouths when Obama got in the second time around, okay? So that’s what really needs to be done.”

1. "We all shut our mouths when Obama got in". No, you didn't. Nor did FOX News and Breitbart.

2. They "all shut (our) mouths when Obama got in the second time", huh?

I. call. bullshit.

As if their "reluctance" to engage in discourse (ha!) means that is the way of things makes any goddamn difference. Feel free to go back to shutting your mouth, please. Damn.

4. "the second time" is the tell

This isn't tRump's second time and what happened with the first time Obama was elected (with a much bigger majority, I might mention)?

8. Bingo. They need to be asked why they kept their mouths shut

There is nothing wrong with protest, nothing wrong with complaining, or with adding to the discourse.

Did they think Obama was a swell guy, is that why they say they were quiet?

3. Funny

[get the red out]

5. When you believe lies

and conspiracy theories, the media starting to cover the truth would feel like a massive attack. They try to say they accepted Obama, but that lie in itself, even as a lie proposes a false equivalency by comparing a duly elected President to one who won on election interference from a foreign power with which he is financially entwined.

6. He validates their hate...

...but many still feel a twinge of conscience when advocating racism, sexism and classism. Hence, still frustrated.

7. He's like that Heaven's Gate leader

and his base is like a bunch of dumb ass followers waiting for the mother ship

9. they need new glasses. i don't see shit.

10. So they are disppointed that most of the country

is NOT full of hatred and bigotry.

I guess I can understand that. I feel pretty disappointed when I see that there is still so much hatred and bigotry in the 21st century.
