Its just perverse.

Today, more than ever, they have spun so much bullshit for so long, we have reached this point where these people truly believe THEY ARE THE VICTIMS.

Be it hatred of homosexuality, bigotry, racism. The right has created this festering sore that sucks anyone who gives in to these things to find comfort. These views are seen as patriotic, all american, moral, and for good measure, YOU are the victim because the evil liberal boogyman is trying to impose their morality on you if you can't force everyone else to live how you think they should live.

Pack in the entrenched "liberals just want to tax and spend" bullshit, guns, etc.

I post on a side political discussion board at a sports site I post on.

The board is chalk full of complete "conservative" koolaid drinkers.

keep pointing out the simple fact, based on common sense in that Trump is proposing big spending AND big tax cuts, while Hillary is proposing tax cuts that almost completely off set her spending proposals, that Trump will massively increase the deficit, I keep posting the non-partisan group that has crunched the numbers. It isn't debatable.

BUT, they just ignore that and post some dumb ass gif or something about tax and spend liberals.

If you can't get half the country to get past the truly measurable, you can't even begin to unpack this kind of shit.
