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 7 months ago

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.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 45 points 7 months ago

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 7 months 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 7 months ago

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

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

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

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 5 points 7 months ago

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 7 months 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 7 months ago

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

[-] Gloomy@mander.xyz 43 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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 7 months 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 7 months 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.

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

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 7 months ago

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!"

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 25 points 7 months ago

I know this is hard to fathom but its because those people are more stupid than he is.

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

During Trump and the Pandemic, all the behaviors and statements from everyone, exposing the sheer amount of stupidity around us, was a little you much for me tbh. I felt safer in this world, before knowing that stupid rules.

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

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

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 10 points 7 months ago

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

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

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 7 months 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

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

Edit: right, autoprompt, makes sense.
