It's official. Trump's "base" has crumbled. All That's Left is the Crazies.

Mika's rant proves it.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100213904225#post20

All that is left is a handful of crazies. The same people who will spit in your face claiming that the earth is flat and man never went to the moon, not because they believe what they are saying. No, they spew their craziness in order to get attention for themselves. They crave attention and the easiest way to get it is to go into Costco or Walmart without a mask. In their hearts they know that masks save lives and in their hearts they do not want their parents and children to get COVID and die. But they crave attention. And the only way they know how to get that attention is to go negative in a big way.

I feel for these people. They grew up never being told that they were valuable. They grew up unloved. The only attention they ever got was negative attention. Beatings. Groundings. Scoldings. They were told repeatedly that they were worthless. Scum. Would never amount to anything. They lack the most basic sense of shared humanity. They hate themselves and so they hate others.

The grown man who had to be carried out of a store by his own family member(possibly his son)



should be a warning to us all. If we do not nurture our children they will grow up to be this man----a man whose own children cannot respect him because he does not respect himself.

The "Karen" who deliberately coughed on another customer is a bagel shop



is a crazy pitching a temper tantrum. To her the entire world is "out to get her". How did she get this way? I don't know. Maybe the same way that gunmen who shoot up schools and churches get the way that they are.

I am beginning to wonder how many of Trump's so called supporters are off their meds.

Crazy enough to beat that ass.

To an unrecognizable mess.

I wish a mo-fo WOULD cough, hack or spit on me or mine.

The next thing you'll do is BLEED.

The phrase "former employer" is used.

What I can't tell for sure is if that means she was fired for this, or had already been fired and/or had left that job.

are such assholes.

I think it’s simpler than that: these people have been indoctrinated since birth to believe in the make believe touted by Christianity. They are schooled in magical thinking. They are told they are privy to secret sacred “knowledge” that escapes all those non-Xians living in the “evil world.” They feel they are included among the few who have been “chosen” by god to spend eternity in heaven.

It’s not a giant leap for these people to embrace the magical thinking espoused by Rs, from economic policies, to the racism and misogyny that runs rampant through the Buy-Bull and that is writ large in current RW thinking. What is QAnon if not an extension of the religious belief that you are privy to secret knowledge?

Unloved? Nope. Indoctrinated, yes.

As an adult, at some point you have to take responsibility for your own behavior, regardless of what your parents did or didn't do to you.

That woman should be arrested.

The person filming had a really good view and there were men around policing the action. No one got in the way. Just an observation.

My niece who lives in Sturgis said this in an email:

Honestly, this appears to be a pro Trump rally as much as motorcycle rally. Bikes and vehicles go by with Trump flags waving. These people, and there are thousands and thousands of them, love Trump. It's crazy. And really, so many think the virus isn't real. Forget social distancing - not one of them I've seen is even wearing a mask. Oh, and last night I saw people with new patches sewn on their jackets with the confederate flag....wth!??
