    Do I get to post this in reply when someone reposts that article from Cracked every two weeks now?

        This one.

        TL;DR: In this article the author explains to us that rural Trump voters have been vilified by untrue stereotypes or assumptions about them perpetuated by urban Democrats, and that of course they must turn to Trump. The tentpoles upon which the author’s premise and viewpoint hang are untrue assumptions or stereotypes about urban Democrats.

        The article probably doesn’t literally get posted every two weeks, but I run across it amazingly often, and somehow no one ever describes it using the second sentence in my summary.

          Read the article, thanks for sharing. “The tentpoles upon which the author’s premise and viewpoint hang are untrue assumptions or stereotypes about urban Democrats.” Is an accurate assessment.

      They’re Republicans. They’ll twist anything in their minds to be a “win” as long as it pisses Democrats off - that’s all they care about anymore. At least until the shit hits their own personal fan, by which time it’s too late.

    Dumb motherfuckers deserve the consequences for their own actions. I don’t want them to suffer, but they disagree for some reason.

    The question is, how much time until they realize it and how more time until they admit it.

    They don’t have the awareness to know if he betrayed them or not so it doesn’t matter

      All Trump has to do is say it’s the fault of the liberal Democrats trying to destroy this country. They’ll believe it without question.

    His supporters no longer matter to him. They elected him, and now they serve no further purpose, at least not until he realizes that he’s going to need them to be violent on his behalf.

    Be prepared. !Resist@fedia.io that shit.

    I’m planning to put up a sign right in the middle of my town saying, “You voted for this, you dumb asses, now enjoy it.”

    Should make for an interesting conversation piece on my town page on facebook

    Think about this: Fucking Brazil is now seen as a more reliable trading partner than the US.

    Betray? These idiots actually believed that their leader had any loyalty to them.

    Trump isn’t betraying anyone … he never had any loyalty to begin with.
