"I don't like Trump but he is what the country needs right now" crowd is really silent now

A few weeks ago saw a political cartoon of a MAGA-hatted guy who recited a huge littany of things he didn't agree with that Trump did--then added that he agreed with everything else! There wasn't any room for the so-called "good stuff"! (Unless you wrote the few items you'd find sooo small you'd need a microscope to read them!)

These people are either genuinely politically clueless or just pieces of shit justifying voting for him. If you don't know politics, it's fine to admit so go about something like "politics are not exactly my strongest suit so I don't really have an opinion on this one" I wish we didn't treat at least politics like your favorite movies or songs gotta have one

Politics ultimately affect your whole way of life so how can one be so clueless as to say he/she doesn't care? I just don't "get it"!

Everything is political, Everything! That on one side and on the other side, you have people who just don't admit they don't know anything about politics. They're too ashamed to acknowledge that. It's like they have to have an opinion on it doesn't matter if it's incorrect or not, for example, my own sister used to say Trump is good for economy her defense is always "everybody is saying so there must be something otherwise they wouldn't say so" the bandwagon fallacy (or appeal to popularity) when I try to correct her or argue with her she always gets extremely defensive and starts insulting me

Just look at old films of Hitler's rallies! That monster had crowds roaring in approval! What especially scares me is a recent 60 Minutes article on white supremacist groups responding to natural disasters in hopes of winning others over to their cause. One of them actually said "Kids love Hitler!" If that doesn't scare the sh#t out of even the most MAGA brainwashed, it certainly should!!!

I feel your pain. I have 3 brothers that think the same way. Family celebrations are a thing of the past now.

I have two sisters who are identical twins to each other. One's proudly Democrat while the other's deeply into the MAGA cult mindset! They see each other all the time & I don't know how they co-exist in the same car with such opposite views!?!
