Republicans love them some Trump after his Convictions
Showing of hands of anyone who is surprised
This is why I have backed off from writing as much about Trump-related news as I have. Many of us were told by even underground progressive news sources that polls showed conservative folks would not support Trump if he were convicted. Man, how delighted they all were by such news, as anyone with a working brain knew Donnie Boy was going to be convicted—duh!
Now, I want all of ya’ll to think of your favorite family Trumper.
How is that whole “we are abandoning him cuz he got convicted” thing working out?
One dude on my LinkedIn even predicted that the convictions would be overturned on appeal and Bragg and Merchan would be reprimanded or run out on a rail for overreach and legal malfeasance.
Guys, I'm going to keep the rest of this short and sweet, as I don’t want to beat my own dead horse by delving into too many I told you so, but…
Yeah.
I said it.
Some folks finger-wagged me as a Negative Nelly, but I said it. Nope, they would not abandon him, and I was right, dammit—I should have marked the time.
I am no longer surprised by any of this BS—just deflated and disgusted.
I am getting so frustrated with even Liberal Media hyping up shit like ‘THE CULT IS GONNA WAKE UP ANY MINUTE NOW,” when they know they are not. It makes them complicit in all the insanity.
Listen e’erybody, they ain’t leaving that man!
Wanna know why?
Because he validates them!
For years, dear ole Angry Uncle Joe Bob was given a bib and his very own corner every Thanksgiving, where he could rant and rave about Native Americans, Political Correctness (read: Wokeism today), Dah Gays, and Black folks to his heart's delight.
At the same time, everyone else pretty much enjoyed much-needed family bonding time away from his nonsense.
Now, Angry Uncle Joe Bob has his very own political party—it is called MAGA.
Trump has lent curmudgeons of all stripes legitimacy and a voice—he is Archie Bunker on steroids, and they love it! Every nasty inclination and thought has been given a platform because, yah know, free speech, even if that speech relates to Nazism, sexism, racism…
Anyone who said WTF about any of this as it was emerging was labeled close-minded, intolerant, and a reverse bigot, even by educated people who should know better.
I saw this coming decades ago when people tried to say White Supremacist leaders like Richard Spencer getting a seat at the collegiate table was a symbol of freedom, but “platforming” feminism or minority rights was anti-American terrorism.
Here we are.
There is no turning back now.
As one with-it Threads commenter opined, these assholes have gotten a taste of what it is like to be close to their beloved vision of an all-White ethnostate, and they are not gonna give that up by gum.
Until their dreams come to full fruition—queue the next big deal all the pundits say will make the CULT wake up, smell the coffee, and abandon Trump.
Hold on to your hats and vote blue no matter what you do.
I am always hesitant to "like" such comments because there can be no liking for the Nazi-wannabe threat. But it is a reality. We are closer to authoritarianism today. 71 million dRumpists threaten democracy and the rule of law. There are so few of us like-minded Substacker compared to the corporate biased msm... How do weprevail?
