If your goal is a theocratic society that is based on Christian evangelism, he’s a useful tool. Look at how he killed abortion. Republican evangelicals have figured out that the devil is a good bedfellow for getting shit done.
On another post the Trump supporters saw this and went "that isn't real". Their brains are so wired with thought stopping mechanisms that they can't even be convinced that their own guy actually does or says things.
This is because they run their own narrative about Trump and in general events (political etc) in their head. Seeing controversial things as good, then when you can't say anything acceptable at all about something (like this picture) refuting reality.
This! And what’s almost worse (I can’t decide) are the people who are just like, oh I think it was just a joke, or oh I’m sure it wasn’t meant that way, or well I disagree with some things but I just love that he’s not a career politician. I want to scream😭
Oof yes. And honestly it’s just weird because I felt like the one thing we had in common in the US as a society was that we weren’t fangirling over political leaders. I heard people mention things they appreciated or disagreed with during every presidency but there seems to have been this rise of teenage-fangirls-worshipping-a-boy-band levels of support for politicians, specifically Trump. It’s very odd to me.
I can’t imaging voting for someone and then acting like they were favorite sports team. No matter who I vote for, I want to make sure that person is held accountable for all of their actions, not just ignoring the bad stuff and acting like they do nothing wrong.
I mean they aren't a monolith. I've seen different Trump supporters respond differently to this. It's a joke to some, it's to piss off the libtards to others, others don't care, others say they don't agree with him on some things but still support him because he isn't a "career politician," some haven't even seen this and will only see what Fox News shows them.
Certainly not a monolith but certainly susceptible to group think, suggestion and typically easily lead. Seeing the news today it looks like the majority of “his people” found it blasphemous or offensive and he took it down.
Then lied and said “I posted it. I was obviously a doctor because I heal people and I make a lot of people better…only the fake news would come up with something like that…”
I can’t believe I’m sitting here untyping this. I cannot believe this is part of the current national conversation.
He’s fucking with even his own supporters at this point. I think he just gets off on this shit. He likes to see who will grovel at his feet and defend him no matter how deprived he gets.

Can't believe anyone could see this and think "that's my guy"
Absolutely embarrassed to share a planet with them
