Seven delusions plaguing the mind of the Trump base voter
TheHill ^ | 12/08/2023

Posted on 12/08/2023 6:26:21 AM PST by devane617

When Capitol building cleaning crews were removing feces from the hallowed halls of Congress after the riot of Jan. 6, 2021, no one imagined that Donald Trump would be leading the 2024 Republican presidential primary field by a 48-point margin just three years later.

Two overarching reasons help explain this unusual circumstance.

First, his “Make America Great Again” base is immovable. Trump knew that already on Jan. 23, 2016, when at a rally in Iowa, he famously stated, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters. Okay?” This is, for example, why Trump can be so comfortable with careless conversations about the executive orders he wants to sign at the beginning of his second term, telling Sean Hannity that he would not be a dictator, “other than day one.”

These sicko globalists are trotting out the tired, old “oooh, we got him, now’ lines that have FAILED, for them, for YEARS.

Keep it up, The Shrill....you’re only reinforcing why We Love Trump ... because YOU hate him so, and, have done your level best to destroy him.

It only makes him stronger.

I skimmed this. They don’t even seem to be “delusions”. One of them is that Trump supporters think Trump is better than Biden. Ummmmmmmm. Duh. Of course “Trump supporters” think like that. It’s definitional, not delusional. Unless you’re a “Biden Supporter”.

The whole piece just seems like drivel.

removing feces from the hallowed halls of Congress

I’ve never heard of this.

Surely, there are videos to back this up ?

I think a lot of Democrats now secretly think Trump is better than Biden.

Such a pleasure to hear the communitarians are clinging
to a crevice on their mountain, dangling, about to plummet downward.
God save our Republic!

THAT was my first reaction as well. It’s also the first time I have heard of this. DNA is available yah know... Scatology is a real science. Probably full of tofu and organic sunflower seed bits.

When conservatives rallied on the National Mall, it was nearly pristine except for the wear and tear of footsteps and chairs.

Conservatives don’t wipe feces on anything during a demonstration.

Ol' Myra comes across as an angry, near hysterical far-Leftist who is unable to resolve profound disparities between what she no doubt truly believes to be true from reality; a common affliction among those on the Left, including most notably highly emotional democrat/communists.

I could almost pity her for the mental anguish she must constantly suffer, except that her words betray her and define her as just another nasty democrat/communist Leftist who deserves no pity.

If there was any feces at the Capitol building after Jan 6, it was likely from some MAGA woman who was shot or beaten near to death by Capitol Police/FBI/ANTIFA agitators that were there to ensure the scheduled election challenges never occurred.

I would love to see her visit Wawa or Blountstown for a couple months to see what hard working Americans really think.
