and believe every word. He's vomitting up verbal diarrhea, and they think that it's gold.

(52,123 posts)they can't make sense of every word any more than the rest of us can.
they pick and choose one or two phrases or catch-words or whatever and latch on to them for dear life and use them to insist that he's the best president ever and no amount of facts or arguments will change their minds.
the reason he rambles as long as he does is to make sure every one of his faithful have at least one or two such phrases to latch on to.
he knows they'll ignore the rest.

(261 posts)So many of them dont have any information and dont want any information. So much aggrievement. I always go back to a scene in a famous Italian novel called The Betrothed of a man carrying live chickens tethered together by their feet... and theyre pecking at each other. They actually have reason to be aggrieved, but their response is completely misplaced.

He will die screaming the same crap. Find a way of fighting him effectively by striving to neutralize him. By making his power grabs ineffective. By going around him or over him without engaging him.
I guarantee Pelosi and Schumer know this. Its how politicians think. Its their bread and butter. They are up against the Presidency and the powers bestowed on it which is the only thing that makes Trump as powerful as he is now. If it werent for that he would be gone by now.
