They were discouraged for a couple of weeks but they are back on the bandwagon, full of piss and vinegar, and patriotism and pride for their leader. It doesn't matter if he is lying to them. They believe he is doing a great job.
The facts don't matter. It doesn't really matter how many people will die in this plague. They have an undying loyalty to their Dear Leader. If a pandemic cannot open their eyes, then what can?
Many liberals do not like to dispute their propaganda with facts, because they do not wish to lose friends or create political turmoil. So, many will simply bite their tongue and say nothing.
However, Trump supporters do not seem to give a rat's ass who they offend or what friends they might lose or what political division they might create. They support Dear Leader.
The easy way out is to simply surrender social media to them. Is that the solution?

(14,166 posts)They are satisfied and content with a superficial overture of reality and don't want to digest the nitty gritty details.
That is why trDump is just fine by them, trDump knows exactly what it takes to push MAGAt's buttons and keep them well trained on the end of his string.

Take heart in knowing that they are a minority, and speak to the sane among us and convince the sane majority that voting is essential.

Trump was right in 2011 when he said we needed to manufacture in U.S. The reason medical filed have no masks is we do not manufacture here, we get it from China. Oh, China. 1950 my mother (this is my father) told me we can't trust the Chinese. They sent thousands out of their country who were infected. Can't trust Chinese, my mother said in the 50's.
I have purposely not had any conversation with my father about Trump. I was so hoping he saw thru him. I found out today, after three years of making sure I didn't know, that my father is on board with all this shit. I cannot tell you how bothered I am.
