I think we can all agree on this. Via Ben Wexler: Not even sure why I bother to point it out, but if another politician, one day after a school shooting, said “Get over it,” and then a few days later said “I hope the economy crashes within the next 12 months,” their candidacy would be over

    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social We stopped counting the number of times he crashed through rock bottom and demonstrated that political gravity simply doesn’t notice him. In the end, he’ll be the figurehead of the “33% want to kill the other 33% while the other 33% watch.” Demographic. Thank god mortality isn’t like political gravity. Mortality never misses its shot. Just gotta wait it out, like all the rest of this world.

    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social At this point his support is from two groups: • Fully incultified zombies • Fully fascist oligarchs, both domestic and foreign, and those they control There is also "coattail" feigned support from craven politicians betting on the other two to get him back in power, knowing they are toast if that does not happen. It is war.

  • @GottaLaff@mastodon.social The best (and only) explanation I've heard that explains why T****'s loyal fans stick by him no matter what: "His supporters see him as a giant middle finger to The Establishment." - Fmr RNC chair Reince Priebus And that's all that matters to them. They so hate the government, they desperately want someone who'll burn it all down (except for the 2nd Amendment. Gotta keep that 2nd Amendment.)

    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social Or called dead Soldiers "suckers" and "losers" while serving as Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces. Or was found to have raped and defamed a woman. Or had sexualized his daughter since she was young and was known to hire hookers on the basis of their similarity to her, and allegedly raped at least one trafficked teen. And stole classified documents, and has endless entanglements with Russia and other adversaries & frenemies. Just a few items there.

    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social his supporters identify with him. He "says what they're thinking" and they trust him because of it. The fact that he's actually a deeply corrupt billionaire just makes them happy because they identify with him, so feel like they benefit from his unshared victory. Like, the right wing here just sells identity/a sense of superiority, not actual material improvement. Hateful, egotripping dumbasses. Also, media bubbles etc... they only believe what they see on stormfront, these days.

    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social I’m old enough to remember when Gary Hart’s campaign ended when a picture of him sitting besides a woman on a boat, not his wife, came out. And when Mike Dukaris’ ended with a picture of him in a tank commander’s hat. In a tank.
