If Trump says something, then it's absolute fact no matter what the evidence suggest. Can't even discuss it, because it's like one ear out the other. No attempt to analyze what was said, or even refute the actual content of what I said. It's literally some cult-like insanity. I would assume they are all trolls too if I didn't know people like that. Even when I try to appeal to their conservative sensibilities when it comes to pointing out something negative about Trump, it doesn't work. You're right when you say hopeless.

I do recall Joe Walsh being pretty pro-trump early on, though Sapient Donkey Aug 2020 #21

Walsh got into Congress as a "tea bagger". He was my rep. for a minute, unfortunately. Progressive Jones Aug 2020 #23

Maybe I was confusing him with someone else then, or it was really early stuff I saw Sapient Donkey Aug 2020 #26
