    Keep your opponent constantly catching up to your wildly varying statements. A common fascist tactic.

    She isn’t saying she won’t vote Republican. She’ll still vote Republican despite hating him. It’s far more common than you might think, unfortunately.

      “At least he’s not a Democrat” is a phrase I have seen when a right winger gets vaguely unhappy with him.

      Team sports mentality to the end

      Yup. I remember a long time ago a coworker asking if we can still be friends after telling me she was voting for Trump.

      Me: Even after (insert shitty thing) you’re still voting for him?

      Her: It’s more because my family is voting red, not really because I support him

      So not only are you a dumbfuck but you don’t even have your own moral compass? Redundant but what a fucking sheep.

    Fuck her, she’s such a piece of worthless human garbage. Sexual assault victims who support the orange pedo should die in a fucking fire. Apparently Ailes didn’t grab her pussy hard enough for it to sink in.

    They know what they are doing. This is called “Hypernormalization” and this is how Putin orchestrated the oligarch takeover in Russia.

    Here is an excerpt from a great documentary and it sums this up in about 4 minutes.

    https://youtu.be/Y5ubluwNkqg

    The gist is that once the firehose of falsehoods are in full effect, they will start funding and participating in rival political groups, and then even admit it later. The ultimate goal is to make everyone fed up with politics and checkout. The AI and social media issues are going to make this even worse now.

      this is what happened with a former coworker, and her friends when i talked her about epstein files, i responded to her that this is a plan to make ignore politics, while they do shit unabated. they have fully captured the right wing , manosphere groups with propaganda, the last agenda is making opposition ignore politics, so right wingers have an easier time during elections.

    They’ve spent so much time and effort expanding the divide that they have nowhere else to go now that their side is crumbling all around them.

    It couldn’t happen to more deserving batch of reprobates.

      Agreed! The only issue I see with all of these people who are turning their back on him is that if or when Donny does drop a nuke, I have a feeling that every single one of them will be back on his bullshit like 1980s on cocaine.

    That’s the beauty of being a partisan.

    Of either team color.

    Your opinions are based on convenience and nothing else, and even better, your social media algorithm won’t shame you when you don’t realize what a goddamn fucking hypocrite you are.

        I know, it was part mildly sarcastic and part mildly “I’m so happy I am not a psychopath because I would be so unhappy”
