I voted for Trump in 2016 . . . because I was lied to and I fell for it

Christians are proud of being sheep, their God (Trump) will pull his fold back together.

There was a golden idol of Trump at CPAC and people went and venerated it. Let's not pretend they give a fuck about their faith, please.

Most Trump supporters still won't care; most haven't seen it because their preferred sources of propaganda won't have shown it, while those who have will dismiss it as just another fault of AI.

With plenty of meaningful news stories to post, tabloids like The Mirror aren't particularly helpful.

Idc how many hats they burn, they haven’t become better or more informed human beings capable of empathy. They’d still be hateful pieces of shit that will vote for pedophilic murderers.
