I’m learning more and more that there are few Trump supporters that actually believe any of the hubris that comes out of their mouths in support of Trump. It’s just a game they play for power and money.
Here is another entirely logical point by Nikki Haley. Of course, she will eventually fall in line and debase herself for the Orange man.
“Nikki Haley on supporting the GOP nominee: “I haven't heard him pledge to me that he would support me if I won, so I don't know why I have to go and pledge to him that I would support him.”
Why is Fox demanding loyalty to Trump pledges from all candidates while Trump pledges loyalty to himself alone?
Let's break down the Trump supporters:
A. Voters:
A.1) True believers like Gary who are also driven by hate for libs which they carried forward from their RINO days. I want to say this is up to 30% of the R base. In the past I would've guessed less, but there are a LOT of really stupid and undereducated people in our country.
A.2) Previous conservatives who have been fed fear 24/7 by FOX and GOP politicians, and will vote for anyone to beat the libs. These neither believe Trump much nor care if he's a danger to democracy, a criminal, or morally bankrupted scumbag. They by default are going to vote for him because the libs just need to be beaten even if they can't articulate why. Sally falls in this group. This group is ready to accept him as dictator even if it means they feel like the libs are owned.
B. Politicians:
B.1) True believers like MTG who were in A.1 above and got elected. These groveling sycophants really think Trump is a king and they are ready to commit crimes for him and protect him at all costs. They are a minority in the GOP but clearly in positions to do major damage.
B.2) RINOs and newly elected Rs in the M@-GA camp who publicly worship and support Trump, but do it just to get elected and keep their jobs. This doesn't mean those in B.1 also don't care about this. This group is a majority of the GOP - they would all happily pretend Trump never existed if he finally went away and would immediately gravitate to the next thing that could get them what they want.
C. Donors
C.1) Wealthy ultra conservative types who want to remove all gun regulation and/or impose religious authority and other draconian measures on everyone. These people also likely live in fear and are disconnected from reality. They saw Trump sought to achieve these goals for them so they want more. I'm not sure what % of the donation pool these make up, but would assume it's on the lower end.
C.2) Rich people who want to maximize their wealth at all costs, whether through tax breaks, ruining the environment, making the poor poorer, etc. Trump has been a useful idiot to them, but it seems some see the light (Koch bros) that he's not a very viable candidate and are ready to move on.
C.3) Mouth breathers, many whom are probably poor but will happily give their hard earned money to Trump. This includes all of A.1 and some proportion of A2.
D. Media companies and influencers/pundits:
D.1) FOX, Newsmax, etc. - it's all for $ and they know they can legally lie to the base to keep them coming back for more fear and vitriol.
D.2) Influencers/pundits - there are some true believers in the mix but even those all keep doing it for self-gain. There are just too many gullible mouth breathers to con and feast on.
“When I was hungry” you made sure I didn’t get lunch at school. “When I was thirsty” you made sure I didn’t get water while waiting in line to vote. “when I was a stranger” you put razor wire in the water and watched as I drowned. “What you did to these, you did to me because I am too woke-
How many of these do you think Trump has followed? 1? Zero? Max 2.
He's a degenerate who has not asked for forgiveness in the slightest.
You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall make no idols. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. Keep the Sabbath day holy. Honor your father and your mother. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet.
Sleep Joe plagiarized in law school, used his office to make millions, showered with his daughter for far too many years, got a prosecutor fired to save his son from criminal charges, cheated with Jill when she was still married to her first hubby, he supports killing unborn babies, can't stop copping a feel from little girls & sniffing their hair.

you might want to take a look at the 'you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor' commandment. You busted that one wide open just now.
I guess that goes with your view that the bible is a living document that should not be taken literally but is a general guide, to be interpreted by each generation as it wishes. We already worked this through.

TALLAHASSEE, Florida — Florida is legally blocked from enforcing a key portion of the high-profile 2022 law restricting what Gov. Ron DeSantis called “woke” workplace trainings about race after a federal appeals court ruled Monday that the policy “exceeds the bounds of the First Amendment.”
A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dealt a blow to the DeSantis administration by deeming one of the Republican governor’s signature laws — the “Stop Woke” Act — unconstitutional, upholding a previous ruling that prevented it from taking hold.

Weird that Ron stopped his migrant kidnapping and relocation trips with his candidacy over.
Its almost like he is a total fake that was pandering to right wing bigots for votes.
Perhaps someday right wingers will recognize how their politicians view them as easily manipulated rubes with these culture war stunts. But then again, maybe not.
Yep. They keep places here so they have a place to be when they are here. Also, just investment property. Easy for Sally to do a Google search to see American celebrities who have chosen to live elsewhere. He said they never do. He's wrong. I mean, of course he is.
Oh okay. When people like Babs Streisand, Cher, Madonna and Miley Cyrus express their disgust with this country and declare "I am leaving this country forever" if Trump is re-elected, that just means they will leave their Calif. mansion, hop on a jet and spend a couple of weeks in their London apartment.
Flagpole - you have said some (lots actually) stupid sh&t but this takes the cake.

Meatball Ron flew too close to the sun. He is even getting in trouble in his own state for not being able to follow through on his own crazy laws.

This is an ancillary case of ETTD.
BTW, for you Trumpers that don't think I give credit for Trump for his positives, you are wrong. Meatball Ron is a quality nickname. Short, simple and humorously fits that little doofus in Florida. Kudos to Trump for that one.

Why are you so obsessed with Hollywood?
It's not Hollywood. She just adheres to a very strict principle against people being dishonest or disingenuous.
It is a common trait among Trumpers. A firm reliance on only telling the truth.
