40. I Think Some Deplorables Realize They've Been Conned
Thu Feb 16, 2017, 12:17 PM
Feb 2017

but there's still a huge percentage of rubes out there who are angry for two reasons:

1. They're always angry at something. These are spoiled, lazy bigots and misogynists who have found comfort in always being pissed off at anyone and everyone else for their failure to be millionaires.

2. These rubes aren't reading the New York Times or Washington Post. They're not listening to what Dan Rather has to say. Their bubble consists of Fox Toilet, hate radio and even more coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs blogs. If they're hearing about their hero's struggles in the White House at all, they're hearing that this is all made up by the librul media.

I honestly don't think the rubes are going to question anything until they are personally harmed in a permanent way by something that no one in their right mind can blame on anyone but President Dumbass. Even then, there will still be some who will blame the black guy who preceded him, libruls, women, brown people, satan... whatever.
