He starts to complain about Governor Kemp's voter fraud in Georgia but starts rambling about how much Kemp weighs instead. 130 pounds apparently. Surely surely surely even MagaMorons listen to this and start to realise the guy's brain is totally fried.
No. They don't. Really. None of his supporters seem to notice any of his moral, economic, strategic, international, or domestic inadequacies at all.
"inadequacies" is not the best term here.
Staunch Christians who are still going on about Bill Clinton's total moral bankruptcy for having an affair with Monica just blink and keep on singing the man's praises when confronted with the obvious misogyny, assaults upon, and hideous treatment of women that are so obvious and uncontested of trump, so much that it would make the arch bishop blush like you were talking about little boys.
When questioned about the long slew of abhorrent appointments of the obviously worst possible choices to virtually every cabinet position, agency head, judge etc, they make it clear that these are not a problem, because Biden Bad, dems bad.
When pressed on the blatant attacks on the civil rights of virtually everyone other than extreme right wing evangelical Caucasian Christians, they complain about immigrants* ruining our country, being "brought in to vote democrat," and all the ways that
white people are the ones who are actually under attack by a highly coordinated
cabal of atheist Satan worshipping pedophiles.
When pressed on the fact that we have a couple of sandyhook type events per week, well nobody even noticed, because that happens every week,, so obviously
more guns is the answer.
When pressed on the Jan 6th attempted coup, that was just peaceful protesters doing their biblical duty to be like Jesus, and liberals were the ones trying to take away our freedom by ratifying a stolen election that was ripe with massive, coordinated fraud.
When pressed on voter suppression, and attempts to overturn legitimate election results, and on the positioning of repugnican officials in election precincts all over the country, so as to throw out any non trumpian results in future elections, they lament about how democrats and immigrants committed massive fraud in 2020, and someone needs to stop this from taking away our last shreds of freedom.
When confronted with constitutional protection of Muslims, Jews, atheists or Satanists, they say that the constitution is for Christians only, and those "bad" groups are not included, and should not only
not be similarly protected, but should actively be discriminated against and persecuted without recourse, by both individuals and government.
When confronted with the hypocrisy of refusing to be vaccinated, and the harm they reek on society as a result, with the hundreds of thousands of excess. Preventable deaths from covid, they claim bodily autonomy, with absolutely no inkling of the notion or noticement of the irony that
women might also want bodily autonomy, and also they claim religious freedom, despite the fact that no religion has ever preached massive personal and social irresponsibility, with obvious great harm to soviety as their main doctrine**.
Sprinkle in the massive cognitive biases and shortcomings of the human mind, garnish with the denialism, algorithms and greed of social media, and you have the USA as it is today.

Gaze at your looking glass
You're not a child anymore
Civil War is going to happen in my lifetime, I fear. And to be honest, I wasn't really much of a soldier when I was in the army. I don't even care about guns***.
*very often Mexicans. Seriously, of all people to fear, Mexicans? Im quite sure trump has never met a Mexican in his life.. FFS I'd like to see these a..holes who are railing against Mexicans pick f.cking tomatoes for one f.cking day
**until now, that is. Now large numbers of churches and menbers of congress preach and legislate precisely this. Somehow I don't think that's what Jesus would do, if he had actually existed
***and I haven't owned one in over 25 years, until my mother got a new shotgun recently, and gave me back the one-barrel breakaway 20 ga I gave to her in the 90's. It's a far cry from the M4 I was assigned in the army tho. And I refuse to carry it around. I refuse to live in fear****. I'm brave enough to face life without needing deadly force at the tip of a single finger at all times.
****FFS I'm not even afraid of glyphosate, GMOs, or that sticker from the state of California that warned that the
forklift
I was operating last week was known to cause cancer.
No, I'm not kidding. Just a general warning plastered on the machine, not even associated with the gas, oil, or hydraulic fluid. We're definitely all gonna die now for sure tho.
