Deep down, they know most Republicans would have them deported (or shot) if they could - but they always hold out hope that, magically, some promotion might be forthcoming.

If they announce their allegiance to the GOPee loud enough.

And these days, that means El Cheeto.

Wealth or acquiring ‘wealth or power’ via his being in power and the policies that he will make that will favor the rich. Crumbs off the table.

And I suppose it's just human nature.

The same thing, for instance, explains Milei's victory in Argentina recently.

Women voted against him - but many men backed him, because they saw him as "the rich man's candidate - and the rich create the jobs."

("plus - my boss is for him, so I should be too if I know what's good for me" )

The result: misrule (by decree), and depression.

The average voter down there has lost over 20% of their buying power (in three months!) - assuming they still have a job at all.

Unemployment, which was down to 5.4% by the time Fernández left office, is probably now in double digits.

I just really don't understand, but I suspect it has something to do with macho imaging.

They see the GOP as "the big dogs" - and feel they need to be on their side for both protection and possible benefit.

But if they had an even basic understanding of human nature, they'd realize that bullies often brutalize their sycophants first.

"I prayed, oh Caesar, that the gods spare you and take me instead!" the obsequious Lentulus told Caligula.

"Well," Caligula sneered, "We can't both be here then, can we? Shouldn't we give the gods what we promise them?"

And that was the end of poor Lentulus.

He wouldn't bother her if he considered her lower than a "5" out of 10.

Remember, he said E. Jean Carroll wasn't "his type", and then when shown a photo of her in his deposition thought she was his ex-wife Marla. I'm sure he'd only boast about sex with "his type" (which is what he thinks impresses the kind of men he wants to impress), but for who he'd assault? Could be anyone (anyone physically weaker than him, anyway).

Images claiming to be of blacks/women etc for Trump..
I am not saying he doesn’t have some support from unexpected quarters, but it is just an added charm of the net by now that those may not even be real.

It is a good thing ai is bad with hands.

Trump backers tweet #repealthe19th after polls show he'd win if only men voted

As polls show that Donald Trump would overwhelmingly win if only men were allowed to vote, the GOP nominee's supporters have spawned a new Twitter hashtag: #repealthe19th.

That’s a reference to the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.

And for that to happen, it would have to pass Congress and then pass 38 state legislatures. Not gonna happen, ever.
