I am in shock! A rabid tRump supporter friend on Facebook just posted:

[lkinwi]

“Maybe it’s time to abandon ship before the next election cycle.” When asked why by another friend, he said, “It’s like taking a shower behind a manure spreader.” 😂😂😂

[LiberalFighter]

1. Yet there is something in the manure that draws people to it.

[DirtEdonE]

3. "If the water is too clean, you will not catch any fish"

Life begins in the dirt and is fed by manure.

[lindysalsagal]

16. And flies.

[krkaufman]

22. Agreed

Yeah, the quote doesn't seem quite right; reality indicates the GOP base relishes the manure spreader as their showerhead.

[DRoseDARs]

2. It rubs the lotion in its skin... and it still votes Republican. nt

[DirtEdonE]

4. Yep. They said anybody but Hillary

And that's what we got. Anybody. Less than anybody, really. A nobody. An empty human shell like an unfilled cannoli.

[Doitnow]

11. My husband would have called him a "rimless zero." Your description fits well.

[magicarpet]

12. Worse than that,...

A cannoli full of shit and then just the ends stuffed with cream so as to conceal the poo.

But when you bite into it expecting to savor the delicious flavors you find you have a mouth full of shit,... and then you realize you were totally deceived.

The only thing to expect from this kitchen is adulterated food. If you are ever hungry -avoid this kitchen and avoid this so called chef - because everything on the menu is a toxic surprise and you will only get sick eating there. And they have the nerve to charge triple the standard price.

[ProfessorGAC]

30. Just An FYI

One of those pastries is a canalo! More than one are canoli!
I got corrected by grandpa more than once when I was a little kid.
He reminded me "Uno canolo, degli canoli!"
Not picking on you. Everybody does it. My wife says it and she knows the difference!

[DirtEdonE]

32. Thanks Professor!

I'll remember to spring that bit of Italiano on everyone next time we have canoli as I'm eating my canalo!

I do the same thing to people who say "pasta fazool" - I tell them it's pasta e fagioli.

[dchill]

17. Yet, an unfilled cannoli has value.

[PatrickforO]

28. Oh, you're not doing the cannoli dough justice.

He is a shell, though, filled with evil.

[WheelWalker]

5. As Mueller hauled another load away, you could tell by the smell it wasn't hay.

[sharedvalues]

6. Jump in now: tell him "Fox lied to you. Billionaires lied to you. Now you know."

"Don't fall for it again. Turn off Fox. Listen to real, legitimate media."

[calimary]

23. Oh I'm sure they WILL fall for it. I have very little faith in that bunch.

Easily snowed. Easily fooled. Easily HAD.

[JHB]

27. Yup. Addicts. Once they start getting the DTs...

...they'll go back to Sean or Tomi or Alex for another hit, and they'll be back to embracing the other DT.

Unless they actually leave the bubble, they won't decompress and deprogram.

[NewJeffCT]

29. Yes

I remember back when I was naive in the earlier days of DU back in 2004 - I had co-workers announcing they hated Bush and were voting Kerry throughout the summer of 2004. A bunch of people on DU had similar experiences. I thought Kerry would win - and I'm normally a big pessimist: anything that can go wrong, will.

Then, Bush still ended up winning (ok, Ohio was probably stolen, but it was still close enough to steal...)

However, these co-workers later admitted to still voting for Bush because Fox News and the RW media had gotten them so scared of Kerry that last month or two before that election that they felt like they had to vote Bush. I suspect it was similar with many other people here on DU - people swearing they would not vote Bush 4-6 months before the election, but then reluctantly voting Bush in the end.

I think it will be the same with Trump.

[LiberalLovinLug]

7. I am hoping for this for a lot of past loyal Trumpsters

For every Trumpster to whom the Mueller investigation makes them madder and madder at how long it is taking (ie. how long the Deep State is persecuting their Dear Leader), and only proves they must have nothing on him....there is another that the daily grind of the ongoing investigation, and the arrests and indictments along the way, are helping to convince some that where there's smoke there may be fire.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. The longer a sucker stays on board tRump-RepubliCon bandwagon, the bigger the sucker. . . . nt

[littlemissmartypants]

9. Classy AND eloquent.

Just in case:

[Honeycombe8]

10. That's new. But where are they going to go, when Trump's the only game in town.

The Republican Party has taken its hard stand behind him. They even circled the wagons around him for the primary. There's nowhere else for a Republican to go.

Hard core Republicans may sit out the election, but most are not going to vote for a liberal, IMO. But if they sit out the election, that may be good enough.

[Bromwell]

13. Yeah but what about her emails?

[WhiskeyWulf]

14. Of the three Trump voters in my life . . .

At least one has jumped ship. A second is threatening to, if there is proof Trump was involved with Epstein's sex trafficking of minors (although I'm not sure what he would accept as proof, so I'm not holding my breath).

The first one, who's already seen the light, has been a federal employee and dealt with several shutdowns, and has spent some time recently learning how economies actually work. He's done.

[liberal N proud]

15. So this friend grew tired of the shit they were fed.

:rof:

[TheOther95Percent]

18. Let me guess

This person met with their accountant and don't like the news. Smaller refund or having to pay.

[lkinwi]

20. He hasn't given a reason other than the manure analogy, but he's been quiet for awhile.

He went from constant right wing political posts to none.

[Snotcicles]

33. I would give him some conformation. Tell him you knew he would figure things out because you

respected his principles in the past. Be affirmative after they awaken rather than punitive.

[Blue Owl]

19. This image needs to be turned into a cartoon

Mike Luckovich are you out there?

[Cha]

21. Well said, rabid Puppet fan.

[fescuerescue]

24. This is the beginning of the End

[Marcuse]

25. Real magats don't shower it off. They eat it up!

[oldsoftie]

26. Certainly havent seen it with any of my friends. Maybe its the start.

[trixie2]

31. Just unfriend him

it will really piss him off. I wouldn't say a word. Hey, I have unfriended family.

[Johnny Noshoes]

34. I did that to someone right after the 2016 election.

We WERE friends from about the age of six. The final straw was a crack about "liberal tears". I posted that's it we're done. Thing is he was always an arrogant son of a bitch and an annoying born again xtian to boot. The friendship was pretty much dead or dying anyway the tears bit was just the last bit of crap I was NOT willing to ignore.

[trixie2]

35. The trick is to not post about unfriending

Just do it! Drives them crazy. Just by posting you give them another reason to respond.

[Johnny Noshoes]

36. He never did.

At least I never saw it because I unfriended him. No other mutual friend commented that I could see. I don't really give a damn what he might have said it was goodbye and good luck.
