NPR is having a call-in from trump supporters....they love the guy

[spanone]

they love the wall

they love him working with vladimir putin / 'maybe the russians can do things we can't because we have too many freedoms' (?)

they love all the wall street execs in his cabinet / THEY will know how to drain the swamp

they have no problem with him not releasing his tax returns / they trust him / no legal requirement / 'reporters should release their tax returns'

these people are 'excited for their children'

these people are fucking totally delusional

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. Idiocracy has come true, for real.

[spanone]

3. it truly has...it's a documentary

[Sentath]

23. Not Really, they wanted smart people, they had just run short.

[woodsprite]

2. Maybe they're the same people Trump hired to clap for him.

[drmeow]

16. My thoughts exactly! eom

[underpants]

4. The green peace crane protest was posted on FB by a local TV news personality

The responses included:
Swing it around towards a power line
Shoot them
Jump!

[spanone]

7. i have no interest in 'trying to get along' with these assholes. they defy everything american.

[narnian60]

26. +1

[oasis]

5. "Delusional" deplorables.

[Big Blue Marble]

6. Always, remember these callers can be paid plants.

They are on call-ins and forums to prop up support and demoralize the opposition.
Take the idiocy with a grain of salt. He will always have a core of support but it will
shrink over time as the sane Republicans and independents fall away.

[spanone]

9. they just made their 'cause' looks like total lunacy.

facts are irrelevant to them

[Vogon_Glory]

21. I thought there were enough sane Republicans to stop Donnie before the last election

Where the Hell did they go? Were they so- ill-informed that they voted for Trump?

[Big Blue Marble]

28. Many of us held that hope.

In the end, they fell in line. Comey's "investigation" sealed the deal.

[Initech]

8. If you support Trump, you don't care about children.

Especially if those children happen to be females!

[MaeScott]

10. Trump probably has media folk

Whose job it is to make him look good.
Could be actors.

[irisblue]

11. which show?

cuz On Point can get some limited knowledge people, the host Tom Ashbrook pushes back sometimes.

[spanone]

15. the program just ended. not sure who's show it was. these folks were definitely 'knowledge limited'

[SharonClark]

22. It was OnPoint and the segment was only for Trump supporters.

[SamKnause]

12. Idiots like these call into C-SPAN every morning.

[mopinko]

13. is this indivisible?

the very first caller they took sounded like a sovereign citizen. undeterred.

[Baitball Blogger]

14. Polls can be freeped. Why can't phone calls?

[workinclasszero]

17. The German people loved Hitler in the beginning

How did it end up for them though?

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

18. At the risk of sounding like a party-pooper

At the risk of sounding like a party-pooper, the US is still coasting along on the strengths of President Obama's economy and President Obama's policies. The effects of Donald's and the Unhinged Unchained's policies aren't that strong--YET. It'll be Donnie's economy starting six to nine months from now.

Yes, Donnie's fans adore him--now. As we've seen for 30 years, it's easy to love right-wing dogma and curse the social welfare net when it's been taking care of you. Donnie's fans have no idea of what it was like to live in the bad old days before the New Deal. But I expect that they'll wise up, or at least some of them will, when Medicare's gone, when the ACA has been gutted, and Social Security has been abolished. Then, with the exception of a better- prepared survivalist or three, they'll realize that they're sheep ready for fleecing and slaughter.

[Johonny]

19. Oh and the signing statements, they love the signing statements!

so presidential so Trump...

[lillypaddle]

20. depressing

and SAD! so SAD!

[bdamomma]

24. these people

are not patriots.

they love this man but do not love their country.

[Generator]

25. Yeah fuck it

Why should I vote or die for these assholes? I got mine and I can just pretend and hope to die in about 20 years. I'm good. That's a fair life anyway. BASTA.

[bullwinkle428]

27. There's always going to be around 30% of the voting public willing to

ride this cretin all the way down to the ground like Jack D Ripper on that missile in "Dr. Strangelove"...

[Big Blue Marble]

29. You are so right.

We saw it with Nixon and with Bush II

[Turn CO Blue]

30. It's a basket of gullibles. Dupes, cultists, greenhorns, gulls, suckers, easy marks. n/t
