It boggles the mind that anyone - unless they've been in a coma for the past 4 years - could possibly vote for anyone who is fine with the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans, dismisses American service war deaths as "losers," and lies on camera on a regular basis. There is no excuse.

Confronted with outright made up jibberish, they still blindly supported their one and only.

I've seen it in all trumpers I've met and it is disturbing. The only other time in history when so many have been so blinded by a leader to the atrocities of human suffering was during World War 2 and the deprogramming of the German people is still not finished to this day. There are still Nazis and they have infiltrated our society at every level, taken over media outlets and confused the masses.

We are witnessing the rebirth of an evil the likes of which we have not seen for 70 years. It must be stopped.

We must win.

I agree that it's scary as hell and makes no rational sense at all, proves that these cult members have abandoned all reason. The only solution has to be that we must do everything to win and attempt to restore sanity to this country. It's not going to be an easy job, could take a generation, or longer, as you said. The fact that the nazi movement has spread to this country should have been a wake up call - when any child in this country has to have been taught the truth about what happened in WWII. These are truly scary times, unprecedented in this country.

Though the real news, the terrifying pandemic death count, is right out there and how anyone can possibly ignore this - especially since Bob Woodward has tapes! - is a mystery to me.

You are correct; they are conditioned by Fox News to just BELIEVE *ANYTHING*

don't even realize they were being made fun of. Electrifying monuments and they think it is a good idea and even making kids doctors.
Talk about losers and suckers.

There really is nothing he will do or say that will change their minds about him. And nothing these people were shown was real. Yet they believed it was a real, and supported it.

I never thought people could be this stupid and gullible. Boy, was I wrong!

Although while I certainly agree he's not always funny, I think this was one of his best bits that I've seen.

The writer(s), tried to go extreme to find the limit, still looking. Well, child labor at 7 years old was a bit too far, 12 was okay. It would have to be something that affected their kids before brain cells start to fire.

I read a post on the Portland protests by my rw family members yesterday. I could not believe my middle brother's reaction, as he focuses on the response to the riots, not the protests themselves. He is fine with unidentified federal law enforcement taking over local and state law enforcement without being asked. As far as I am concerned, he has hit the skids into stupidity as he throws out the constitution. All for the POS in the White House that he helped put there. How do you maintain respect for relatives this far down the rabbit hole?

I'm sorry but I just couldn't listen to any more lies. I'm fed up. Racially, culturally, economically and because I'm a dyed in the wool Democrat. Can't put much more of these people in my brain to think about and rage that if the are really trump-pets, why, how can they be so willfully stupid, ignorant, uninformed? Wait, Hitler was followed by people like this, vote.
