Donald Trump and the Republicans are insisting the economy is great and unhappy Americans are deluded. Just like Democrats under Joe Biden, they’re lying to themselves and everyone else — and will eventually pay the price.

    Overheard an argument at a bar the other day and the Trumpie had the dumbest retorts.

    “Gas prices are up” -> “But they’d be worse under Biden”

    “Grocery prices aren’t coming down” -> “Yes they are, they talk about it [on Fox News] all the time”

    “ICE is terrorizing communities” -> “Fake news”

    It just went on and on and on and I always the former person for keeping their cool but the trumpie is an absolute fucking moron.

      You can answer back in something like:

      “You’re a black trans-woman”

      “I’m not. I’m a white guy”

      “You’ve deluded yourself”

      I wished they would live in their own reality and not effect the rest of us. I would call them skitzo but that may be disrespectful to the people actually suffering that condition.

        My brother was schizo and despised Trump. Glad he didn’t have to see him reelected.

        He heard all sorts of shit, but never any thing like this vile dribble

        More cult. Cults are literally brainwashing. The TV brain washes you into their cult. If you had no other source, you could imagine how people are sucked in. Leaving cults takes deep deprogramming. I don’t wonder if you pretended to be interested and asked them to show you how all they think is true, as if they were winning you over.

        Eta: disclaimer, I don’t in any way think that excuses their behaviour.
