Do you realize that STILL 90% of Republicans APPROVE the way Trump is doing his job?

And 57% STRONGLY approve.

What the hell is wrong with these people?

They have decided to discard every single American value of hard work, honesty, dignity, sincerity, respect and family.
Their asshole is Republican and absolutely nothing else matters. Nothing!

By rights the party is so corrupt and incompetent it should disappear but it won't.
They will never go away because so many Americans are convinced that corruption and incompetence are desirable qualities for a leader.

You will get the impression that this trump shit is working great.
I imagine that the radio shit is just as bad.

There is a OP with the video, Brooks is in denial about the majority of his party. I still feel like I did during the campaign, it's racism.


Peace

and the like. Most are just stupid people that can't think past the end of their nose. Many others are pure racists that love to hear drumpf spew his hatred. Not much can be done about that.

Hannity, talk radio, FOX, etc... So all they hear is how awesome he is, how the liberals suck and are out to get him, the fake news fake news, and how it's a virtuous thing to thumb your nose at education, experience, and traditions and norms.

In other words, they hear he's ah-MAZ-ing and everyone else is just haters.

And young people -- our future -- are the ones most likely to reject him and the party he rode in on.

Young people who do not vote are WORSE than Republicans....they simply cant be bothered to help forge a better future...the issues like climate change that literally determine whether they live or die should be enough motivation for 100% turn out, but its not...and as a result we have the deranged tangerine...

A mature person who deliberately voted for Trump is worse than the young person who didn't realize how much their vote would matter.

They've become nihilists.
They have to hate the FBI.
They have to hate all former presidents-- anyone who isn't him.
They have to hate the CIA.
They have to hate their own leaders.
They have to hate entire continents.
They have to hate us.

The GOP leadership uses this hate for fuel. Trump eats it up like a Big Mac.
