    I don’t believe the gullible deserve to be conned, it’s just usually their fate. But I’m damn sure that since I didn’t help you get conned and tried to prevent it from happening, I don’t fucking deserve to watch my country fall apart. But I would be mildly curious to hear what, in concrete terms, these jackasses think Bonespurs is actually “doing for this country.”

      From what I get from his ramblings he wants other people to be hurt for his benefits, and by other people he means blacks, LGBTQ, immigrants, etc. and somehow harming them is somehow making his life better.

        Some people weirdly seem to think of other people’s suffering as a kind of vengeance. I think that’s the mental gyration that benefits them - not suffering feels like their reward for not being bad like those other people, but to get that reward the other people have to suffer so there’s a contrast.

      Definitely yes. When I work with him during our lunch breaks, everybody has their phones. Most people will be somewhat considerate with earbuds, but he always has his phone at Max volume always listening to either death metal, Fox News, Trump speeches, or UFC compilation videos, and he always reacts to everything by yelling, screaming, has to show everybody

    Wait until this “hard-working American” experiences the results of Trumps mismanagement firsthand.

    On the other hand, those idiots are stupid enough to believe that Trumps tariffs are all Bidens fault. Hunter Bidens.

    You really can’t. How is Trump looking out for him? By firing women and black people and Native Americans? By arresting college students? Jesus.

      Simple: he’s a putinist, fraud, racist and/or pedophile. Nobody else is rallying for putin. Trump

    I can’t imagine being this stupid. Like actually try it. It causes the same sort of feeling as trying to understand the size of the universe.

      Definitely! Just being in the same room as him and just listening to him talk makes my brain hurt.

      I would emphatically agree with him and list all the stupid shit he’s doing as ‘based and epic’ - and fully in line with what Republicans have been advocating for nearly a century for.

      It’s fun to play pretend, at least online - which let’s be honest has to be the only place you can get away with saying this shit now. People are losing their jobs / contracts, seniors are losing their social security. Saying this shit even around fellow Republicans has got to be a risky move.

        Had a literal stranger start talking to me like this in a Taco Bell last week. I couldn’t fucking believe it.

        Difference is, you’re smart enough to run, to hide, to do what you have to do to survive. They will stand there with their arms wide open and a stupid smile on their stupid faces when the machine comes for them.

            When they disesntigrated from a beam of energy, that’s what conservatives are.
