That still doesn't really explain it to me. Maybe my brain just doesn't work in the way it has to to get the appeal.

I feel like perhaps I never understood the more right wing conservative mind as well as I once thought I did. Or maybe it's still there, just hijacked and silenced by a louder altright.

What happened to the right that I knew? The one that supported Bush and McCain for president. Both men who weren't/aren't exactly fans of Trump. That believed in things like religion, the sanctity of marriage. As opposed to following a sleazy repeated divorcee like Trump who obviously doesn't have a genuinely Christian bone in his body.

I wonder what the future is for the republican party and the American right post trump.

You're obviously too intelligent to comprehend. Modern society is reliant upon the vacuous and the retarded...

We live in different versions of reality, man. If what you get out of that is Trump kicking ass, I don't know what to say to you because that shit is embarrassing. To be fair, neither of them is doing very well, but it truly is pathetic, Trump refuses to follow any of the rules of debate, and is spending all of his time boasting about himself and how much everyone loves him, as usual.

I admit I laughed out loud when Biden was trying to say "and number two!" for like the 10th time because he was being interrupted, and Trump gets in a quick "you're number two" before the host yelled at him to respect the rules and stop interrupting. That was pretty funny. Totally inappropriate, but funny.

A few minutes after that I turned it off and listened to shitty classic rock radio the rest of the drive... I couldn't keep listening. How anyone could hear that and not be disgusted and embarrassed is beyond me.

there's been a lot of analysis, jess, so obviously your conclusions will differ depending on what you read e.g. The Psychology Behind Donald Trump's Unwavering Support

it is very interesting and there are, as you would expect, even a couple or three examples among the posters in this forum.

in the 'debate' last night, president trump was invited to disavow white supremacists. he chose to not do so, saying, instead they should "stand back and stand by".

gavin mcinnes is the co-founder of the group 'the proud boys'. he heard president trump loud and clear and responded "He’s the general of the proud boys."

yep. it's 2020 and the co-founder of a violent, far-right, neo-fascist, racist group considers the president of the united states of america their general.

The debates were fun entertainment but there are no "undecided voters". If you've heard Trump speak, at all, these last four years and are still undecided, you're lost in life and no one and nothing will help you make up your indecisive mind.

Still not as funny as the people who think trump is on a mission to fight deep state satanic pedophiles. That just cracks me up every time I think about it. :D

Qanon = best conspiracy ever.
 
My favorite is the people who think that Trump is chosen by God to lead America back into moral greatness and religious "freedom" (ie, you have to be Christian). And when it is pointed out that he is a deeply immoral human, they say "yes, but God sometimes appoints an imperfect vessel to accomplish His great ends"

Not really since the corruption is deep that anything exposed is just fall men going down. Its the entire political system and only a massive revamp would change things adopting a political system like other western countries where minor parties get seats etc power is more shared. Democrat's and republicans are both very sore losers and refuse to sign anything the other party has even if its a good idea as a fuck you to them.

Plus the state of the people not just america but in the world. A majorty of people in this world are narcists who only care themselves self and will only vote for whatever policy they think will better their life instead of the greater whole of the country. A country is a reflection of its people aswell if a country is a shithole then the people are probably shitheads deep down even with rampant corruption because that how society raised the people to be to only look out for themselves dividing the country and failing to propel it forward.

The western world reflects the work of the people and shit hole countries the reflect of the people who will mass murder rape and pillage each other.

America is a hard working country and go it where it is today because of that hard work and belief in been the greatest but along the way rich people took advantage of it and the ease of business while propelling the wealth of america along as whole at the expense of the lower and middle class.

It's a controlled experiment in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, trusted in God as the United States of America, in order to form a more perfect union.

Why would you vote for Trump? He already had a chance and failed miserably. Donald Duck would be a better candidate.

He hasn't failed at all, Trump is the only President who has come through with his promises, the only President who has done every thing he has said he is going to do, if your American and love America,Trump is your man, if you're communist than Bunker Biden is your choice, they are trying to implement communism in the the U.S. ALL THESE LIBERALS STARTING FROM THE CLANTON GANG, has sold America out.

Sleepy Joe is a puppet and I wouldn't doubt it if this is all a farce to get Kamal elected as President because something will happen to Biden, he'll miraculously get sick and Kamala will become president, am I the only asshole who see's this happening?

Trump did everything he promised? What?

Where's the wall? Why is Hillary still free? Why hasn't Obamacare been replaced?

Do you not remember those promises?

You accuse other people of not thinking straight, so can you walk me through your reasoning on how trump has filled the above promises?
 
I don't care what trump did or didn't do. He is a piece of shit. Did you see him last night? He can't even follow rules. Always low blow attacking. Ok...a junkie like me can do that online, but the president in front of all? No...he is a tyrant. Not to mention just seeing his mouth moving annoys me.

Its trumps karma he would live his life the way he did, become president somehow, thinking he is doing great, starts to rip the market in september thinking he will raise it beyond belief. No....covid. Casino gambler. Gambled again on the wrong thing trump.

Trump is the man to set America straight, He's the greatest American president Since Reagan. He will make AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!!
 
lol trump throwing out the name big pharma like he is trying to battle them but has done nothing to them and americas healthcare is still trash. But all the people will hear the catchphrase big pharma and be won over. Trump is acutally a genius to woo all all the small brain voters to his side he sure knows how to play on people.
 
You don't wanna fix America when you clearly hate all the things that are supposed to make America what it is.

Basic absolute rights, being a melting pot, the rule of law, the right to vote.

Supporting a president that considers himself above the law, that deliberately tries to divide the country and pit Americans against each other. That repeatedly tries to interfere with people's right to vote. That talks about refusing to leave the white house.

The people saying they want to make America great again, they don't want America at all. They want an ultra right racist authoritarian state that just happens to be named America.

They're not patriots, they are the enemies referred to by all enemies foreign and domestic.
