1. But you and our Brit friends are missing something (not really, I am just being sarcastic)

If someone says Trump is like Churchill, then he is to 45 million Americans and ALL of them vote.

If someone says Trump is a genius, then he is to 45 million Americans and ALL of them vote.

If Trump says there was no collusion, then to 45 million Americans and ALL of them vote, there was no collusion.


Look, without knowing it this complete idiot changed truth, period. We are in big trouble, and the trump voters are the ones who will suffer the soonest and most, along with some of us.

DUMB people.

4. Leads to cognitive dissonance which leads to psychological stress

Which leads to Charlottesville, LV shooting, etc.

See, you would think that his supporters would be super happy with all their winning. But on some level they understand that everything is terribly wrong. I'm convinced of it. The worse he is, the more the cognitive dissonance grows. When Mueller is finished with his investigation and trials begin, that is when the world ends for these people.

6. Or it's when they pick up their pitchforks

Or automatic weapons.

And I wouldn't put it past RW media to encourage that. This is literally another "Custer's last stand" for many of these brainwashed fools.

Or, they could commit mass suicide. Either way, they will react in the extreme because their minds will have been blown.

because there will be PROOF. Oh, dont kid yourself..at first they will say this was a witch hunt and then a railroading, but EVENTUALLY there willbe no choice but for them to accept that they enabled that treasonweasel, and he nearly destroyed their lives for their trouble.
I dont give a shit about their feelings anymore, either. Weve been telling them for 20 fucking years AT LEAST. They chose not to listen.
From now on, I see someone down, or jobless, or homeless, or no healthcare or whatever, the FIRST thing out of my mouth is going to be "Well, who did you VOTE for? Oh so you did this TO YOURSELF. Have fun with that, then."

In comparison Quayle today is almost a statesman he was just a shot of Novocain for greater absurdities to come.
