And half the world has been telling him since 2016.

To add: Yes it is, you stupid piece of shit.

And likely thrice, at that.

At least when and if this is ever over, researchers will have a literal goldmine of data on mass psychosis and the effects of a nationwide death cult on society to research.

Maybe they literally didn't vote for Trump? Then technically correct?

/s

Not exactly, at the time he was able to hide his disdain a bit better.

It objectively is not, even on the issue of affordability. One good example is COVID aid, where the Republicans passed more aid at the federal level than Democrats. (And people didn't forget when Biden did a rugpull with COVID checks after the two Georgia election wins either.)

Though, with both parties being so eminently shitty on affordability, it really doesn't matter. Biden gave lots of speeches about how much he cared about people's cost of living but didn't do anything meaningful to improve it, even with the cost of food becoming prohibitive.

Donald's dementia is clearly getting worse. I would attribute it to Donald's fear of being outed for his crimes, which I imagine is extraordinarily stressful. Kind of a bummer that it's rotting his brain but not giving him cardiac failure.

"Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran—they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing—we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all." - Donald Trump, military.com, USA Today

He's a narcissistic psychopath who chose to break the Iran deal, but the context shows that preventing a nuclear-armed Velâyat-e Faqih is more important.

Also, “It’s what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, […] you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders.” – George Carlin, YouTube

It makes it a little bit better. This was definitely a gotcha sound bite, but it did make me spurt out my drink when he said it that way. Lol.

They literally don't care unless something affects them directly, and even then they'll have more benefit of the doubt for the convicted pedo rapist than anyone else

Also just to OP point, never in his life did he demonstrate any care at all about regular people. That's why trump can just say that, it's always been true he's never tried to pretend it wasn't and these people are fucking stupid if they think he's saying something new.

We must never forget that this is who they are inside. When establishment Dems try to pull the "now it's the time for healing and unity" shit, talk about turning the other cheek and other inappropriate nonsense, we'll all know no one is letting this go. Ever.

"But the man I voted for said he was gonna change, and he didn't. This isn't the man I voted for!"

They'll "get it" until the very next time they have the opportunity to vote for a criminal with an "R" next to his name that says bad things about immigrants and liberals.

This. He’s been the exact same since before the first term. If the access Hollywood tape wasn’t enough to push you away from him, then it’s not a moral issue. You bought the hate. Don’t chicken out now just because his asinine vitriol is starting to hurt you a bit. That feels a lot like seeing the ship has sprung some leaks and trying to get on the lifeboat before permanently getting stuck on the wrong side of history.

While true, I'm willing to let them believe if it makes them turn on him.

He's just realised Trump hates him as much as the people he hates.

Of course.

He (wisely) ran on affordability, whereas the prior administration let you become significantly poorer and then tried to gaslight you about it, as if you don't do your own grocery shopping.

He could get every single Maga hat wearing simpleton, line them up, personally shoot every 3rd one in the head, and the other two would be going "oh, good choice, sir."

He's told them multiple times, they just do not listen, or they hear it and insist its a self-deprecating joke and he's "..such a card.."

It's amazing what memetic engineering can accomplish.

Anti-woke is their whole identify

There's a lot of takes on trumps supporters, but this one rings true for a large subset of them. It doesn't matter what he does, "he's an instrument of god". They see past everything cause they've been told all of this has a purpose. The question remains how many of them are in this for selfish reasons and will turn on him and how many are in tits deep into the Maga Christian cult to bring back baby jebus.

"Things will get better when we bring about God's kingdom on Earth", etc. etc. yadda, yadda.

If the Democrats had any sense, they'd run that clip in ads for Democrats in every race later this summer.

They won't, but they should.

I think it will over time and has. There are explicit examples of it. The problem is that the ones who will be moved against him are not doing it from a change of heart.

They're still selfish, hateful, and greedy. Its just eventually they reach a point where Trump doesn't serve them in a way that sates those sociopathic traits. They're upset that their shitty political project has hurt them, not that its hurt anyone at all.

He hasn’t changed a bit since before his first term. Anyone who payed any attention at all can see that. I’ve said it elsewhere, but this kind of post is just an attempt to jump off the sinking ship before history solidifies you on the wrong side of history and morality.

Nah, the unspoken truth is that they know he hates them and they like it. They hate themselves for being poor as much as they hate everyone else. That's what MAGA is built on: For every rich prick that is prioritizing their own business interests, there are a hundred thousand myopic fucks who know that they have failed under the current socioeconomic system, and believe wholeheartedly that they would rise to the top if we could reset to a more violent system. The only reason he's losing support now is that his supporters are finding out in real time that they still fucking suck in their preferred system, or at best they're malding "NooOOoo, you were supposed to break it all in the way I fantasized myself succeeding, not like this!!!"

You just know she leaves no tip on Sunday after church lunches.

That is rig-proof, bloodbath territory if it holds until November, and there’s nothing to suggest it won’t

Have you met the Democratic party? Grabbing one spectacular defeat after another from the jaws of victory is what they do.

Yeah Democratic leadership already said when they have a majority that they don't attend to bring Trump to task. Hell I don't even know what message is?

But he's a secret Nazi and She's a ..gasp.. Ethic Woman!

North Korea?

Religious people?
