Trump supporters, maybe you should sit down before you read this. I mean, this will come as

[Atticus]

a total shock to those who are still wearing their MAGA caps and not wearing a face mask. In fact, if you have a pacemaker or any heart problems, don't read this unless you're already in an ER.

Ready? OK---deep breath---merely SAYING that something is so does NOT make it so! ( I'll pause here for a few seconds to let you catch your breath and get your heart rate back down below 100 )



Proof, you say? You want proof?

Trump SAYS he's kept all his promises. Name three.

He has NOT built a "beautiful wall". He has NOT provided ANY Obamacare replacement, let alone something "cheaper and better". He has NOT, by his own admission, appointed the "best people".

He HAS mocked a physically impaired journalist. He HAS insulted US war heroes and Gold Star parents. He HAS boasted about sexually assaulting women.

He has NOT made his tax returns public. He has NOT taken any effective action to protect us from the Corona virus pandemic. He has NOT been "too busy making America great" to play golf most weekends at taxpayer expense.

He HAS made himself---and America---an international laughingstock. He HAS called violent white supremacists "very fine people". He HAS made it clear that he intends to bring Social Security and Medicare to an end.

So, Trumpies, I'll wait: list three things he promised to do and then did or three things he said he'd never do and has not. Be specific, please. None of this "he made America great again" BS!

Three.

Two?

1. My brother posed this question to a MAGAt co-worker the other day.

The guy was saying that he was for Trump because he got things done.

My brother challenged him to name one. Just one.

The response? The damned Democrats block everything, how can he get anything done?

Pretzel logic.

[Demonaut]

4. wow, cult-think

[LiberalArkie]

7. No, you are confused. That is what the Republicans did to Obama.

[sop]

2. To paraphrase Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr:

"The mind of the (Trump follower) is like the pupil of an eye: the more light you shine on it, the more it will contract."

[Demonaut]

3. wishful thinking, all they hear is "blah, blah, trump, blah

by now, they ain't gonna change

[Binkie The Clown]

5. Trujmkpites have a different word for "logic".

When they hear somebody talking who actually makes sense, they call it "Trump Derangement Syndrome".

[Stuart G]

6. Thanks for posting...Great Post. K and R

[paleotn]

8. He has not "brought any jobs back"

Last I checked, we've lost 17 million this year alone due to his total Covid-19 fuck up.

[Mr.Bill]

9. How many of the factories he announced were being built to bring jobs

have actually been built? And if they have, has the number of new jobs been as advertised?

[zaj]

10. It's called "Magical Thinking". Dictators depend on it.

[Karadeniz]

11. Add that he said he wouldn't touch social security...not sure if he said anything about medicare.

[ismnotwasm]

12. A friend asked "why" on Facebook and this was one of the answers

-doesn’t support the green new deal that will literally break our economic backs
-doesn’t infringe in my 2A rights
-doesn’t support attacks on Christianity
-doesn’t support push for free healthcare, free college, and mass increases to social programs that will lead to MASSIVE tax increases
-the list goes on

It’s not about supporting or liking trump. It’s about avoiding the disastrous alternative.

Also, a couple posts mentioned abortion. Another one

One of my favorite things about him is he is gutsy. Not a politician at all, but gutsy like the business man he has always been. He will stand up for or against what he feels is right or wrong. I like that. Even if I don’t always agree.

There is exactly zero common sense in this small sample. It’s about what I see them coming up with though. Never anything specific, just this vague slogan politics crap.

[CaptYossarian]

17. We'll have to raise taxes just to pay for 4 years of golf and all those

foreign junkets for "his kids"--and Rudy (to cover up the Ukrainian stuff).

[ismnotwasm]

18. Oh yeah

There is zero insight in these people. No true humanity no understanding of how bad the economy is likely to get because of Trump.

The person who asked is a young, very sympathetic person. She straight up was asking “why”. She wants to know. That’s what they came up with. Pathetic.

[oldsoftie]

19. I've sees/heard pretty much the same.

But i do know some trump voters who are not voting for him this year. They're not voting for Biden either. But trump lost them
What NEW votes has he gained

[Duncan Grant]

13. And all those new coal mines in West Virginia? "Trump Digs Coal" -- remember?

It’s not really about coal and never has been. It’s about transgender bathrooms, gay marriage, religious freedumb and “all lives matter”.

So cut the crap WV trump supporters. You’re not fooling anyone.

[Grokenstein]

14. They only care about the two things he's actually accomplished:

(1) He's normalized "saying the quiet part out loud."
(2) He's normalized denial of reality.

Sure, a lot of Kens and Karens are finding out too late that, in spite of how Li'l Don-Don continues to get away with it, they are not immune from consequences. But they'll cling to these exciting developments to the end, reposting that GIF of Li'l Don-Don saying "WRONG" as if it were the Word of God, until Death places its hand over theirs and whispers "That's enough Internet for today."

[getagrip_already]

15. He actually has delivered on a number of promises....

He promised to make racists important again. He did.

He promised to tear down the government He did.

He promised to create chaos and cripple regulations. He did.

He promised to deregulate polluters, and to hell with the environment. Delivered.

He promised he would be the only president to leave richer than he arrived. He didn't mention he would be robbing the treasury or committing hundreds of felonies to do it, but.. He will.

So there are a lot of things he said he'd do that in fact, he has done.

So what's all the fuss? (sarcasm).

[Lock him up.]

16. pRomised to put America first but pResented with options to punish Putin for...

... paying the taliban bounties to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan, he ignored them all! How is THAT putting America first?

Also promised to divert from all his businesses... (you can edit to add those 2).

RICO THE TRUMP MOB, ITS mob bo$$ AND ITS ACCOMPLICE$

[maxrandb]

20. It was never about any of that. He's kept the ONLY promise they EVER cared about

And this is important, because it is really instructive about the Donnie Dipshit supporters.

No matter what they tell you, or how much they deny, they voted for this amphibian turd for ONE reason and one reason ONLY.

HE PROMISED TO HURT THE PEOPLE THEY MOST WANTED TO SEE HURT!

It's no more complicated than that.

[Atticus]

21. I think that type of reptilian attitude does account for a large portion of his base. nt
