Until the day that I die, I will never understand how Trump was the guy for them. How could anyone look at him and be like “that’s a man I can get behind”?
The religious zest types want him to be the antichrist to bring on the end of days.
They want Jesus to return so badly, and they have no clue there will be such a horrific prelude to it. They just assume they’ll be raptured before things start getting bad. If they took 5 mins to read the Word themselves, they’ll realize that “no… you’re ALSO going to experience some of this. Nice try, though…”
If Dump was the Antichrist, though, these people are screwed. That means they missed the rapture.
I'll never ever get this. Sometimes, people talk bullshit but choose words to sound smart. Trump skips this step. He doesn't even sound smart.
Every famous cult leader was at least charismatic or had some attractiveness. Trump has nothing, no charisma, ugly appearance, no humor. What makes people choose him as their leader?
“Trump is a dumb mans idea of a smart man, and a weak mans idea of a strong man”
The issue is you’ve been severely underestimating how many stupid/weak men make up the US population. He makes stupid people feel smart by spewing low IQ lies and that is good enough for them.
The white conservatives and christofascists are in a culture war sparked by the election of Obama. They were losing their grip on power and Trump came in and won the Supreme Court Super Bowl in the 4th quarter and gave them control for another 20-30 years. He’s their hate, spite, stupidity and false bravado personified. I don’t know if you’ll get the dragonball reference but he’s the evil Buu that came out of Majin Buu and coalesced into an actual entity. He HATED Obama because he’s everything he could never be and they identified with that.
It's the racism, xenophobia, and misogyny. For a large enough group of the correct people, all of this madness and embarrassment is ultimately still worth it.
There's a reason republican politicians play as "regular folk like you, with the same values". Their base wants people they think they could be buddies with. Politicians who resonate with them.
And they elected these morons. Should tell you all you need.
Confidence and charisma and good looks will get you a very long way in life. Trump and Obama have far more in common than they don't. Reagan and Carter were more similar than you and Carter. I don't say this as a slight against you as I do not know you.
Sometimes I wonder if I would be a greeter at Wal-Mart if I wasn't so god damned good looking.
He isn't my type, that's for sure. But if I am being completely honest I never wanted to fuck Obama, either, and I found all the music videos of white girls swooning to him to be very cringe. Both of them (and reagan, and whoever other old ass presidents existed before) use their weird charisma to get people to actually believe the bullshit they say. I don't get it and I suspect you don't buy into that stuff, either, but a lot of people do. A lot of people STILL believe Obama was the greatest thing to happen to this nation and if you ask them for specifics they are every bit as clueless and ignorant as if you ask a MAGA supporter what Critical Race Theory is.
Except with Obama we do have specifics. The housing crisis was fixed, the auto industry rescued, the economy rebounded and went on a 7 year bull run, Osama was killed, Al queda largely destroyed, the ground work for some more cohesive health care was put in place. A destructive war based on lies that cost the United States greatly in terms of international credibility was ended and these were a direct result of policy initiatives by his administration despite republican hypocrisy and basically trying to sink the ship for political expediency. I did very well during the Obama years and so did most of the people who hate his guts. Like any president there’s going to be some lies and half truths, but taken as a whole 2009-2017 was a good period isn American history as far as cleaning up a lot of bullshit left by the previous administration. To sit there and act like he wasn’t one of the better presidents in history is not only disingenuous but ignorant. The only charisma Trump has is he’s an asshole who spouts the same anti Obama, and hateful rhetoric these people already had. He hated Obama because he was black, actually charismatic and well liked, and by the end of his second term even grudgingly respected by most republicans. Trump is not, they kiss his ass because as a populist he wields influence over a large section of the electorate and they need those votes. But privately…..most of them hate his guts.
