Ever have a conversation with a Trump cultist?

 It's spooky.  I personally know at least three of them.  Now we all have our political leanings.  I'm not talking about those who are supportive of Trump but the true believers out there.  When you gingerly and politely bring up even a mildly negative point about Trump they rationalize it.  There's no hesitation about it either as if they've imbibed the talking points. They agree with and defend EVERYTHING the man does and says.  For me personally Trump is not positive.  He doesn't inspire and unite and has no real gravitas for the most important position in the land but for them it's always the Democrats and the media's fault.  The Trump cultists it's a phenomenon.

  1. It is a phenomenon that escapes logical examination. For years the same group pilloried the Dems as Kumbaya cultists that drank cool aid. Depends on whose ox is getting gored. Extremely curious, but have never found what drives their devotion to a bizarre cause. Sort of a lemming effect?

  2. My Trump friend had an answer for everything. I go Trump put too much on his plate he goes he's trying to get as much done in the time he has. I said Netanyahu bombed hospitals in Gaza he says Hamas are under the hospitals. Dems the media yada yada then he went into Letitia James.

  4. Closest thing I ever was -
    "Mean willingly believe what they wish" - Julius Caesar.
    The tribe has only their own news, hangs with their own type and hostile to any ideas but their own. "Let's close the National Parks",
    "Let's arrest judges that we don't like", "Let's conquer Greenland".
    Whatever happened to 'one nation, indivisible' ?

  5. Will RFKJr ban sun lamps? Will he and Trump have a yard sale? I saw somewhere that some lady spit in a Trump appointee's face/ 20 years in jail and $250,000. The pardoned Jan 6 thugs got off easy. Guess I gotta get me one of those brass spitoons?

  6. A fair to good chance he becomes a lame duck after the midterms if he keeps running roughshod over rights.

  7. What I don't get is he doesn't even have the charisma, that likeability factor to garner so many true believers. He's just an Orange Man.

  8. Jim Jones wasn't likeable either.

  9. Apparently according to voting records Pope Leo may be a Never Trump Republican so you probably only half like him.

  10. Probably like me - I liked John McCain

  11. For Leo it was probably mainly the pro-life issue. Dems are so much the other way they never met an abortion they didn't like. From what I know Leo is firm on doctrine but liberal on the poor and migrants like much of the bishops.

  12. Probably - I doubt he is for the conquest of Greenland.

  13. I think only OAN supports the conquest of Greenland.

  14. Trump putting China tariffs on 90 day hold. Stock market through the roof. The Trump Center for the Arts (formerly the Kennedy Center) in a fight to keep their talent after Trump threatens to attend. Where in the world is Elon? Deported? Building a car? Producing more kids? To paraphrase old J the conservative Maga Jew. Chaos makes Confusion and now say that backwards.

  15. Did the same thing with the reciprocal tariffs. I think he's bipolar or maybe tripolar.

  21. Good to hear from you bro. Still rooting those Android devices I bet.

  22. Hey! Was that Libertarian Soapy, or an imposter?

    ReplyDelete
  23. My friends have always called me ~Hiatt~ and little else

    Big L vs little L. I had some libertarian leanings and ran with a pack but to be sure the Libertarians are about as bad as the other two major parties (so much dysfunction and in fighting ). I have concerns and opinions as much as the next guy but politics isn't my source for a fix.

    Rooting phones is a thing of the past. They got AI built-in and can fo wonderfully efficient things.
