I see more and more tRump supporters and pro-tRump comments. It seems like a huge uptick recently of people coming out of the woodwork saying they are behind this mentally insane ass-hat. Are these Bots or what? There cannot be That many people still behind this lil-hitler-wannabe!?

everyone I know from around where I live is still supporting this jackass. Everyone in my family is still behind him other then my mom and I. I just cannot believe there hasn't been more of a wake-up call. Especially after his insane press conference from the other day. It just seemed to embolden all his follows instead. This wold makes no sense to me any longer.

when they occur. Thinking we're going to convince Trump supporters that he's crazy is a losing strategy as most of them like his clown act.

that psycho-phony-figurehead does/says stuff that most Americans find disagreeable or just plain whiney? Are they "putting up" with his behavior, or are they just fine with it, as is? Neither scenario is good.

about tRumps little insane press conference last week that "It is about time someone had the balls to stand up to the media.' Also that tRump is the only president in history to actually do what he says he is going to do. I responded by saying, too bad what he says he wants to do is insane and demented with his juvenile, man-baby mindset. Which then gets me quickly brushed off as a brainwashed stupid feminist who cannot think for herself and has to rely on what the media tells me to say... UGG!

... who has been conned - by a slick salesman, an internet con-artist, a "too good to be true" new boyfriend/girlfriend - then you know how this plays out.

The close friends see it and speak up, the family members recognize it and try to intervene - but the last person to realize they've been taken-in is the one whose been taken-in.

great analogy.I want to reply to these people-but I know it's useless-and they'll still be defending him when the indictments come down.

him. CNN was interviewing some and I'm sure you read what thy say online. I posted something defending the kids/ students at Hampshire College who lowered the flags to half mast...basically saying we still have the right of free speech.
I couldn't believe the immediate deluge of wrath. One said I hope a rattlesnake bites you in the P. That was the general tone.
As someone said, they really want a Christian Dictatorship, where everyone carries guns.
I really don't fit in with this country anymore. Oh Canada!

They are true believers. Cultists. No one is more dangerous and no one is in more danger themselves of losing touch with reality.
