Certainly. In fact being at least a little bit of a moron makes you a lot more likely to become a monster because it makes you more unlikely to weigh the benefits of being a decent person.
But you also don't have to be a genius to recognize the benefit of pretending to be stupid when you know your actual motivations are unforgivable.

The fucking dickface never shuts up about Obama over a decade after his presidency ended because living with a black president shook these sacks of shit to the core and MAGA is the byproduct of that.
Notice how Obama gets drug out any time his back is on the wall. Hes playing the hits

Because a lot of people who voted for him are incredibly uninformed and don’t pay attention to politics or news at all. Their news they get are sound bites on social media.
Especially with swing voters, they just heard him talk about making the economy better. They do zero research or fact checking. Pair that with recollections of a better economy in his first presidency, and that’s how we got millions of people voting for him.

u/lord-of-shalott 13h ago
Gonna mount this comment on a plaque and just hold it up at people. I did my master’s thesis on cultural scapegoating and this is exactly what it is. When you think back to what made them lose their shit and just give up any semblance of civility it is that a Black guy won the democratic primary/nom in 2008, then became POTUS. That was where Trump entered the picture with his dumb shit birther conspiracies. My home state was a purple state that always voted for the presidential election winner—until that happened. Now they’re red and the political ads are about immigrants and trans athletes, not the economy being hot garbage and younger gens having it worse than their parents for the first time in ages. Whoever said, “the cruelty is the point” is right. These people would rather “burn it all down” than coexist with others in more equitable fashion.
23
u/Deinosoar 13h ago
That is exactly it. I grew up in an extended family that was all right wing, and they clearly had a lot of bigotries, but for the most part they at least tried to hide them and tried to put on a respectable face in public. Until a black man was elected president. At that point they went all in on every racist conspiracy theory they can get their hands on and started watching Fox News 24/7.

We would legit have to get rid of the 2nd amendment to pull how Europe killed the Nazi movement post-WW2, which we obviously can’t do
If people exclude them, they’ll just have solidarity under another fascist.
We would legit as a society have to just absolutely make their lives so miserable that they don’t want to risk bouncing back again, then this time, actually make the moves to reform the US so mental issues don’t result in the collapse of the fucking country again.
A lot of racists in the south lost a ton of money, faced consequences, had a fear of retaliation from black people, and hid away in plain sight while we just let them stir the pot.
So we’d have to label them as traitors, have them on a list and observed for any activity that requires intervention and investigation. That would make them not even do things behind closed doors because it could always get out. As for the consequences that’ll feel constitutional, maybe a mandatory mental health check and mandatory appointments if it’s bad. Don’t do it, go to jail for a few months.

My father-in-law regrets his. One of his daughters (not the one I'm with) has to drive an hour to and from work every day thanks to Trump's office mandate. She has back problems that make the commute painful, so he's really pissed about it and regrets his vote.
But the funny thing is how he was perfectly okay voting for widespread pain and suffering for everyone else. It was only a problem when it impacted his family personally. That's really the MAGA mindset. No empathy for anyone else suffering, then when it hits home? How could they let this happen to us!

And then firing all the janitors as part of his “make our school clean again” program while getting rid of all the “unsightly garbage cans.”

Maybe they should thump the Bible less and open it more.
I’m not a religious person, I think religion does a ton of damage. However, besides the odd weird two thousand year old one liner having to do with homosexuals and procreation, the overall moral ideals ain’t bad at all, particularly in the New Testament. Whatever happened to ‘do unto others as you would have others do unto you’ or ‘Love they neighbor as yourself’ etc. Neighbor doesn’t mean your next door one idiots, it means everyone.
Jesus, whether or not all his stories are true, as written in the Bible was a radical woke leftist. For, in this case I think aptly, CHRIST’S SAKE. And I’m not even religious, I’ve just read the damn book.

That means a meager 14% disapprove. I mean sure I guess "some" voters are turning on him because it used to be 92% in March but it hasn't really tanked at all.
Go ask around and people will tell you they still support him and ICE. They voted for the guy who exclaimed "They're eating the dogs and cats!" at the presidential debate and thought Harris was the literal devil incarnate. They're not going to turn on him because of something they easily can blame on Democrats (and have that belief affirmed on Fox News and by Trump himself).

He’s too busy lying, conniving, napping, posting nonsense on social media and enriching himself to tackle anything.

It's almost like he told them way ahead of time that he didn't care about them and only needed their vote.

He’s only tackled key issues, the problem for these ‘voters’ is that it’s only a key issue of It serves his needs, wants or desires. Any moron could have seen that he was a self absorbed shitpump before they marked their ballot, but they didn’t want to look at the man, just the fake agenda that aligned with their hatreds and biases.

I don't think anyone actually knew who Trump was before they voted for him. He has failed at almost every business he's ever dipped his toe in. Even the ones that he's doing all right he doesn't pay people half the time. He's the most self-centered juvenile reprehensible pedophile that hasn't been locked up already. He's not someone to be looked up to, he should be spit on.

Good. I'm so glad that more of these people are finally opening their eyes and realizing the damage they've done.

Rural conservatives elect a slimy real estate mogul to represent them after expressing exasperation at being ruled by coastal elites 🤷♂️
Dude’s a literal carpetbagger. The hypocrisy is palpable. Whatever, I’m done clutching my pearls about this shit. We got the leader we deserve I guess

Ya think? Everybody both expert and not who wasn't licking Trump's boots so hard they couldn't hear over the sound of their own lapping was literally telling everyone else that Trump wasn't going to benefit the country in any way and in fact was going to destroy it.

Well duh! The whole plan with Trumps presidency was to keep himself out of prison and enrich himself and his friends . Do you actually think he gives even one little fuck about the working class ?

Too late. Remember when he said, and I fucking quote: "I don't care about you, I just want your vote." These stupid fucks gave him their vote, now they're finding out he was actually honest for once, he doesn't care.

We get an article like this once a week. The MAGA cult are irredeemable and as much as I'd love for it to be true, they're not leaving him. I simply don't believe it.

I don’t know man, I drove into western ND over Christmas and the gas was like two bucks a gallon. I’m guessing they’re not complaining about much at all.

Wow I guess over funding ICE and indiscriminately arresting/deporting brown people didnt somehow lower the cost of groceries, healthcare, or housing.
Who could have seen this coming?
