36. As long as he keeps doing things to piss us off..

He'll be able to do no wrong in their eyes.

You use rational argument. That will not work here. If it did, he'd have NEVER been elected.

There is ONLY one thing that would get his brownshirts to turn on him.. Them thinking that we love and support him, or at the very least no longer hate him.

This whole Rump thing isn't about them putting in someone they actually think will "make America great again". Not a damn thing to do with it. The more the media pointed out his flaws, the more us "snowflakes" spoke out against him, the more they supported him.

It has absolutely nothing to do with #45, it's all about revenge on the left for having "forced Obama" onto them for 8 years, and now it's time for revenge.

I see evidence of this every single day on social media, and in the comments sections of news articles. Almost nobody defends anything #45 does, it's always "well Obama did", or "well Hillary did", or "suck it up snowflake", or "go crawl back to your safe place"..

The ONLY real appeal Trump has to them is that his actions piss us off. They don't stop for one fucking second to realize that the same shit we're pissed off about screws them over as well. That doesn't matter, as long as it pisses us "pansy liberals" off.
