The number of Americans without a BS Detector is startling....

But, I guess that is why they joined the cult?

They are beyond hope.

It is sad that so many people fell for it but we are where we are, stuck in a war, with a recession looming on the horizon.

The King has no clothes, but don't mention it. It might piss off the geniuses?

Like talking with idiots, bringing up their hero traitor:

“…But, I agree with what he’s doing.”

These people wouldn't buy a used car from someone who speaks like Trump does, but they hand him the entire country when he says, "Believe me, this is the greatest ever, you've never seen anything like this before, nobody knows more about it than me..."

Or they chuckle about it and say, "That's just his bluster, I don't pay attention to it, I just look at the results." And they get sold fake results by FOX News day and night.

If you took all the grifting con artists from the movies or TV and put them all together, you'd come up with something akin to Trump. But these people don't see it? Would they accept this behavior from friends, relatives, and co-workers?

Or who knows, maybe they were rooting for Mr. Potter in "It's a Wonderful Life"?

I was talking to a neighbor the other day who I know voted for the felon. I asked him how he thought things were going and he said he was satisfied.

Mind you, this gentleman and friend is super religious and claims to believe in the word of God.

I asked if he was satisfied with high gas prices, surging inflation, illegal war, having a felon/pedophile in the White House and his response was that it would be worse if "my side" won.

When I told him trump and his cabinet were a bunch of crooks he responded that Governor Newsom was a crook and needed to go to prison.

I asked him for specifics and, like all delusional trump voters he had none. He was simply regurgitating talking points.

I gave him several reasons why trump should go to prison and asked him for just one reason Newsome should join him and he just walked away.

These people are just lemmings and fools.
