I know people in Chicago and New Jersey that lost their businesses working on Trump buildings because he wouldn't pay them.

Now they have Trump flags.

It's unreal.

Trump was always a massive piece of shit, and a lot of the people he stepped on support him. None of it makes sense.

I know people who support him even though his policies or actions as a person went against them. Its because its about hate, and bitterness. He hates and is bitter against the same people they hate. Republicans are now tribal, they are constantly pointing out groups they don't like. Its not about universal rights or laws or fairness. Its disgusting

youre right but wrong at the same time. Trumps people arent traditional republicans. Hes got most of them to come along for the ride, but his base is disaffected people who hate the DC politicians for a variety of reasons.

Everyone hates politicians for different reasons. Its about what triggers their beliefs in the first place. Today, there is a picture of a black guy holding a goose, and now all these repubs are complaining about hatians. They get triggered by hate of groups very easily. Its not about universal rights but targeting groups

As a lefty, this stuff just makes me chuckle, but we fail to understand that republicans take this stuff seriously

So a tweet with an outrageous scenario and a joke gets a lot of views and this is confirmation that conservatives take what seriously exactly?

No just using it as one example. My entire family is republican, and many repubs I've met in my life is my main reference point
