Trying to imagine the yokel that still supports trump. He's literally done everything he said he wouldn't. He has stripped millions of healthcare, turned the economy into an insider trading circus, destroyed credibility with allies, and defunded the programs we used to feed starving children all around the world. And yet, there are millions who support all of that. Disgusting scums.

They support him because of the deportations. That’s it. They are racist, he does the racist things, they are happy.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

The people still supporting him just dismiss anything that contradicts their fox news feed and dismiss it as "liberal propaganda". I'd swear they could be tied to a post in front of a firing squad being commanded by trump and they'd go "they work for biden!"

Hey, he is giving us a $400 million ballroom and turned the Persian Gulf into a shooting gallery. What more do you want!?
