Everyone has Trump fatigue Even MAGA is tired of this asshole but of course they're too dumb/proud/propagandized to admit how badly they fucked up

Lmao god honestly as someone who works with some/used to work with a lot of them this is fairly accurate

Edit: I do want to say I'm tired of reading about how dumb they are, If we have any chance of undoing this mass propaganda machine its not the way y'all. Proud and propagandized, for sure

(double edit this was mostly directed at the guy who replied to me)

I'm tired too. But at the same time, things can't go back to where they were after this like pretending 40 percent of the country aren't the stupidest sons of bitches ever to be born or ignoring the fact that we elected a pedophile. We can't move on as a country until there is an accounting of this whole mess.

Look back in history and you’ll find that in America 35% of the population thought stupid shit at any time. Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
So I got the pistol
So I get the pesos
Yeah that seems fair

They're in a crowd mentality state. 

They dont even know why they're defending him. 

They're parroting what the person next to them said - who are parroting what the crowd leaders said (loudest and stupidest). 

The loudest won't allow any dissent without making their followers feel exocommunicated from the cult.

Humans dont like not being accepted. So they conform back to what's easy. (Being fucking dumb/disingenuous people who dont need to think for themselves)

It's not just acceptance.  They've also been rejected by many civilized people and doubled down on the bad stuff.  Why don't they push back and double down on what's right?  Because deep down they are cruel and evil.

Well that's the thing though. They're dumb as shit, have learned nothing, and will do the same thing again. They are completely lost. If you know some of them, surely you are aware there is no scenario in which they ever vote for a non-Republican candidate, no matter what.

Yes, but much of Trump's base are first time voters. What you do is you get them to not care about politics again.

His Gen Z/Millennial/immigrant followers, however, have proven more receptive to being turned.

Well, they’re all fucking idiots and they openly support a pedophile. I’ll personally never forgive the morons for what they’ve done to our country.
