3. It's like being mean and a bully is a good thing in MAGA world.

Where in the real world we guide children to not be bullies.

4. He's everything they wish they could get away with being.

And they adore him for it.

16. And some of them now do get away with imitating him.

6. Stupid man's idea of a smart man.

Poor man’s idea of a rich man.

Weak man’s idea of a strong man.

Never forgot it. It’s perfect.

9. A friend commented that the typical tRump

supporter was a shouting, talking example of what happens when you fall off the back of a turnip truck on its way to the dump. No explanation was necessary.

11. "he's not hurting the right people" 2019 quote

source-https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/07/us/florida-government-shutdown-marianna.html

snip-"...Crystal Minton,... “I voted for him, and he’s the one who’s doing this,” she said of Mr. Trump. “I thought he was going to do good things. He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.”


Googling Minton herself turns up more articles on her.

12. The cruelty to "others" is the point.

[Mopar151]

14. From the Royal Families of Europe, 500 years ago

To the nitwits in Arkansas, cruelty is seen as essential to "strength". It's not! Instead, it sucks the life, vitality, and creativity out of societies, making them unable to compete in a modern world.

15. That laughable buffoon doesn't torment anyone (yet).

He will torment us all only if he wins the nomination of the Fascist Party and he's still not either in prison or on home confinement (or mental institution) in September 2024 (17.69 months away).

He loses all his Court cases one after the next.

Although National Security is put at risk each second he remains scot-free since January 2017...

17. This post is spot on. They love to be abusers and groomers of young abusers. They Love it.

18. One of DeSantis' problems is that he is not as hated as Trump.

He knows it and is working on it. The difference is, Trump is rabid while DeSantis is just calculating and cynical. I don't know that the "base" will trust his brand of spite.

19. We would all benefit from never hearing him again.

After the last few years, I'd like to see him incommunicado in the Supermax, no cell phone, no internet, no interviews.
Without his constant stream of venom, perhaps his thralls will finally rejoin humanity.
