Will his cult members ever realize

[cilla4progress]

that he ultimately takes them for idiots who he can repeatedly lie to without accountability? That he is using them for his fat ass personal gain? USING THEM!!

And will throw them under the bus the second he thinks it's to his advantage.

[Aristus]

1. Of course not. They're idiots.

The light of reason and understanding will never dawn on them for precisely that reason.

[unblock]

3. ego, too.

victims of cons have a tough time accepting that they were played because it's hard on the ego to admit you got swindled.

4. No I'm convinced that they're in an abusive relationship.

And no matter how many times you convince them to leave, they stick by their abusers.

[Silver1]

9. I agree.

As long as he "tends" to them as victims, they will stand by him. And he'll stoop lower and lower to the basest of them if he has to so he can use them.

5. The worse he gets,

the more they double-down in their support of him - at least that's what the trumpers I see on Facebook do. Stick it to the demoncrats! is their battle cry.

[walkingman]

6. No - once you are indoctrinated it become almost

impossible to accept or even recognize the truth. Our nation is in deep trouble.

[maryellen99]

[RandySF]

8. No

[RKP5637]

10. They're stupid! And some probably think it's cool to be stupid and laughed at by

the world. The worldview is they're stupid as hell and cannot be enlightened. Basically, they are ass wipes!

[Kaleva]

11. They think he is lying to us, setting us up, but telling the truth to them.

I lurk at FR and goddamn! it's another world over there.
