I can't understand how stupid someone needs to be to listen to this drivel and think "Wow, this guy is a leader! Not just any leader either, the only leader for me!".

[–] AlternatePersonMan@lemmy.world 88 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The crazy thing is that you don't need to cherry pick quotes or take them out of context to make him look like an idiot.

Listen to pretty much any interview or speech and he says something that is clearly idiotic, evil, or a blatant lie. Most likely all three... Repeatedly.

I get that Fox News is a hell of a drug, but just hearing this dipshit speak should shatter the illusion. The unwavering support is mind boggling.

Everything about him is like that. They claim he's strong and full of vitality too. All you have to do is watch him walking, or drinking water, and you can clearly see that he's a weakling.

At least the hardcore Christians seem to see him more as a vessel or tool. God's tool doesn't have to be perfect and in typical Bible reverse 4D backwards logic, being imperfect even shows how much of a chosen one he is. I forgot the name, but there's actually a precedent in the Bible itself.

So they acknowledge that he is the antithesis to anything they claim to believe in, but they also think that he somehow will bring God's will or something.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

He fits every description of the antichrist given in the Bible. They've warned about the antichrist for 2000 years, and then when he finally shows up they worship him. It's wack, yo!

You see, leaders don't like need to know the specific how to. They like need to know the business, you know. Art of the deal!

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

FIL tells me they are obviously fake if they’re stupid.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean, he probably watches them in real time... Aagh! The disconnect. It burns!

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The weirdest brainworm is he advocates for Christian values in government when he isn’t even a Christian. Apparently it’s just “American” to him.

It hurts that he’s a real human being and he always votes.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Saying you support Christianity and you support trump is like saying you're a Jew for Hitler.

CHRISTIAN 4TH GRADE SCHOOL TEXTBOOK TRIES TO EXPLAIN ELECTRICITY

[–] django@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Link to the book please, I can't believe this.

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 43 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

I second this, it seems a bit too much on the nose to be real.

Edit: Omg, it's real.

[–] kromem@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

The reviews are hilarious

Fourth grade textbook published by Bob Jones University, and highlighted in a ScienceBlogs post by PZ Myers

[–] Ashyr@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 years ago

I have a high degree of confidence this is real. Looks like the hard work of Bob Jones University Press.

People have most certainly felt electricity.

Mistaking it for being touched by the hand of god, when they were trying to remove the bread from the toaster with a fork.

Also thunder and lightning really ought to count as seeing and hearing electricity.

Hell, seeing anything at all may technically count, because electromagnetic waves.

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is that really from a book that used to teach children? Holy fuckin hell. No wonder America got shittier every day.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wonder whether the kids being taught by that book ever zapped each other with static

What a loser. Everyone who has watched the Pokemon TV show knows what electricity looks like.

There's something I don't get about the world when someone like Trump isn't a universal laughing stock.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Sadly, that idiotic oaf is still probably smarter than 25% of the country.

The dumb thing is, I can kinda understand what the speech writer wanted to say and autoprompted to him. But his fried mind couldn't understand it and because he's so vain he won't wear glasses even though he needs them so he can't even read the autoprompter half the time.

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

God, I can't make it through the whole thing. Listening to him blathering on and on causes me actual physical discomfort.

I sincerely don't get how anyone listens to his rambling tripe and is like, "This guy totally gets it!"

In which states are the most Trump voters? Ignorance is the capital of the right wing policy and religion their tool.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 13 points 2 years ago

‘You know we have a world, right?’ is what got me. I could barely finish reading past that point.

And 40 something% of the population will vote for him.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

23% of the country voted for him in 2020, not 40%

I don't know if he has really said that or not. It saus long about the man.

[–] Elgenzay@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

Not exactly, there's missing context between each sentence. I hate him as much as the next person but the quote is inaccurate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec9P3C1OXqE

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

How does a mind that has no thread at all still spew words?

Edit: right, autoprompt, makes sense.
