Lemmings going over a cliff.
In the last 24 hours he has admitted that he will be slashing social security and lied through his back teeth about COVID-19. Two things that will have a direct impact on a significant cohort of his core voters. If they still back him at this point when his policies could literally kill them, well they are more brain dead than even I gave them credit for.

It's almost like an awful 'B movie' where an evil Satanist caste a spell that turned 1/3 of the country into greedy, fear filled, hate driven brain starved zombies has become reality.

(23,537 posts)If you see clips of jim jones he really was crazy. trump has the same ability of making millions of people believe he is a populist. In 2016 his promises were populist. his followers now don't care that those are the promises he kept. Abortion and hating darker skinned foreigners is enough to keep them happy while they choke on their Kool aid.
