A sizable amount of his supporters will support him no matter what. They’re loyal to him, not the party, not the conservative movement, not to conservative values, and not to the truth. They’re loyal first and only to him.
“They’re loyal to him, not the party, not the conservative movement, not to conservative values, and not to the truth. They’re loyal first and only to him.”
Truly. Because of the boorishness that goes with being a Trump supporter, I am starting to think more and more like they are the World Wrestling Foundation party. Or the Reality TV Party. People willing to believe anything attached to a big name celebrity, to the biggest gorilla in the room, to the guy with the biggest, meanest mouth.
In the 12 or more years I’ve been on FR, and probably a couple years of lurking before that, I have never seen so many people take complete leave of their rational faculties and become so rabidly attached to a person or cause to the point, they will defend Trump no matter how awful he is (as a person or as a conservative) and they will attack his opponents with a viciousness that is comparable to our feelings about Obama, Harry Reid, Mooshelle, VJ, Nancy Pelousy, Hillary or Bill, Schumer etals.
The few who are willing to discuss things rationally can only say that they are so disgusted with anyone associated with party politics or Washington is irretrievably defective and they just know one thing: Trump will be different, he will challenge the status quo. But ask them to explain how they know which direction he will move in from the status quo and things get fuzzy.
