Because until recently, we didn’t teach kids that making a mistake or changing one’s mind is ok and a sign of learning and growth. You know, that same social-emotional learning that became a conservative boogeyman.
So a bunch of people grew up to be assholes who feel less masculine or powerful if they admit they were wrong or consider new information. Sprinkle in the narcissists, and behold, the cognitive dissonance olympics.
We punish kids for every little mistake they make. Instead of learning that we all make mistakes and that’s okay, they learn that if you make a mistake you’ll get in trouble, so you’re better off sweeping it under the rug, lying about it, and pretending it never happened.
He talks like they do on Facebook (just like me fr fr) and was first white guy elected after Obama.
He is the Avatar of their impotent rage that we elevated a half black guy to highest office. It could have been Jeb or any other white Republican if they were just a tad more racist.
I wonder if Italians or Germans said the same before WWII. Are Americans so uniquely deranged? I feel crazy, too. I wonder how long before my brain is feeble enough to fall for fascist dogma.
The democrats/DOJ are doing his job for him. This looks like a politically motivated witch hunt, no matter if you think it is or isn’t. Everything down to the timing and dates of the arrests and trials etc are all set to try and disrupt his election campaign, which of course looks like politically motivated election interference, because let’s face it….it is.
The more they go after him with trumped up (pun intended) charges that are clearly not all going to stick the more support they’re drumming up for him from the public. There’s lots of talk now about black voters being more likely to vote for him now that it looks like he is being unfairly targeted and charged, something the black community knows a bit about.
Combine that with how insanely poorly Biden has handled the Hawaii fires and it’s a recipe for trump support.
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. How the fuck do people still think this guy is what we need. Such a cult
Because they’ve compromised their morals so much to get to where they are that they feel like there’s no turning back.
Yep. The biggest con of all is making the marks think they’re in on the con.

He says he’ll hurt the people they don’t like.

Because they’re totally telling the truth right? Even if they are…. Who fucking cares? That ain’t gonna sway the judge or jury

There’s a great book about that… “They thought they were free” by Milton Mayer
I feel the exact same as you do. I’m an American and none of what is happening makes sense.
