The answer to your question is....YES.

I was married to one for 14 years, and because we have four children together, I still have contact with him. He is a certifiably insane Trump supporter. His Facebook Page is a study in OMG, WTF, Huh?

Actually, I was married to him for 7+ years, together for 14.

Somehow I escaped intact.

We fought constantly about Politics, and he still tries to bait me via e-mails, Facebook messages, and in person.

Bill Maher is correct, it is a waste of breath to attempt to wake them up with facts, let alone change their preferences
our efforts are much better spent on
1. getting the disaffected 40% of voters to the polls
2. ensuring that everyone who is of legal age and citizenship can vote, despite the recurring efforts of numerous "conservative" organizations and GOP-controlled states

And now, overcoming Voter Suppression, plus getting our gigantic section of our non-voting natural constituents to vote.

While 75% of the US & probably an equal % of the world population... are thinking OMG WTF....

Those loyal 45 supporters are in hog heaven... thrilled beyond ecstasy.....

While they may not support 100% of his stated goals... They rolled the dice in hopes that the ones they don't support will be the same things he ultimately gives up on...

Same as taking your chances at the casino... and those who avidly support him will continue to do so as long as they continue to avoid any personal negative consequence resulting from a direct action taken by 45.....

The bar must be set pretty low when renaming a building counts as an "accomplishment". I think they hear Trump waxing poetic about some vague, glittering generalities and that evokes all sorts of warm and fuzzy feelings that becomes synonymous with the belief that he is doing great stuff. These gullible people react emotionally, they are like teenaged girls at a rock concert (that is the only plausible explanation I can think of) or maybe they are attracted to Trump's celebrity status, or his wealth, and they get suckered in, hoodwinked, flimflammed, and bamboozled and then there is no need for any supporting information, facts or reason.

ABC,CNN NBC,and suppose Fake Noise. If you really look at these with a open mind,first,similiar persons or groups that were interviewed in November,the interviewee's are from Union persons who voted Trump,getting the Media Message yet,secondly,same Geographic areas,and mostly White Males,yes I know there is supposedly a story there.

Let's be clear,the same Media went soft on Trump and the Republicans and they are doing their best to state the National Narrative. This is all about poking a stick in the eye of every Democratic Voter who voted Hillary. Notice also,these same talking heads are doing their level best to create a running false story of Sanders vs. Warren and trying to drive a wedge between them and most Dems.

Remember,the Media created Trump and got him elected and with all the shit that is about to come down on him,they are just changing the story to protect their investment.

They are weak-willed, and have permitted themselves to be led around by some of the worst characters on the planet.

For whatever reason, they cannot see through the simplistic Orwellian universe in which they've allowed themselves to be marooned. Nothing complex, just a slanted, comic-book alternative version of events will do.

until they start listing what the media is NOT reporting on his "accomplishments". Shouldn't be too goddamn hard, unless there's nothing there to list. Fuck these idiots. May they all get cancer of the AIDS of the eye.

which they confuse with "Leave it to Beaver" reruns, thinking everybody lived in a safe neighborhood of neat houses in perpetual summer, everybody knew his and especially her place, and women mopped the floor in heels and pearls and never thought of leaving the stiff who required them to do so.

They want black folks invisible and restricted to their own part of town, gays and lesbians out of sight in the closet, and the only brown poeple out in the fields in the country doing stoop work and staying out of sight of nice people in the suburbs.

The world has changed and it has largely left them behind and they don't like it. They honestly think Dolt45 is going to put things back to where they were in 1957, when kids were naughty but not criminal and drank Daddy's scotch instead of discovering heroin or meth.

They know that's the way the world used to be. They seen it on the TV.

They attribute so much to him that hasn't happened. Very strange and very frightening.

History tells us how dangerous that mentality is. They feel that it's their duty to fight the "Liberals" by propping Trump up. If that means distorting the truth, then so be it!

I'm tired of the "team" mentality in politics. This isn't a football game, and Trump is a complete tool. Let's all admit it and become Americans again...
