You know what gets me about people defending tRumps comments on twitter?

[robbob]

Go to any twitter link about this story and read the comments. Absolutely coo-coo land. “The Democrats* are panicking and looking for anything to use...”. So bizarre: all the polls show tRump losing, badly, and WE’RE the ones panicking?

Or “all the sources are anonymous, so this never happened...”. Not “IMO this never happened”. So I guess if a tree falls in the forest etc. etc. it really DOESN’T make a sound. Also ignoring all the well documented cases where Dump disparages military figures ON CAMERA!

And a third thing: Every time someone criticizes tRump, or new revelations come out, it’s all “fake news” or part of some grand “Deep State” plan to sully the reputation of the “honourable man” they worship. It never occurs to them that maybe, just maybe, the reason all these horrid stories keep coming out (sexual assault allegations, disparaging the military, grifting money from the taxpayers) is because the man is a genuine POS and always has been. No, no, “everybody” is lying except DJ Dump, even though he has been shown time and again, by his own words, to be a compulsive liar.

I console myself by assuming these must be Russian bot accounts messing with the narrative. I mean, people can’t REALLY be that stupid, can they?

*their word, not mine...

1. Your question...

I mean, people can’t REALLY be that stupid, can they?

Yes they can and are.

Remember Jonestown?

2. The sources are not anonymous. The journalists know who they are.

4. Yup, I loved the Fox reporters reply (can't believe I just typed that):

Something like “the sources aren’t anonymous to me, and I’m sure they aren’t anonymous to the president either...”, followed by something about her sources being “unimpeachable”! 😂

3. They are not all real people but they are not all bots either.

I have some whack jobs in my family. They believe all this shit. It's embarrassing how gullible and stupid they are.

5. None of it matters to them

because he is a great savior of the losers' white privilege and he is the great defender of Western Christian civilization making the colored people hurt.

They are also afraid that if the "colored people" got the power over them, THEY will be treated as badly as they have been treating said colored people.

It is all about their whiteness and its superiority.

Fortunately, a majority of white people don't think that way or Trump would win in a landslide.

6. Yes, that stupid.

Ask some anti-maskers why hospitals won't let people in to see their dying relatives. A relative of mine was just admitted to the hospital for a non-COVID condition and her husband cannot go in to see her.

Ask some anti-maskers if they ever bother to go to the doctor when the doctors are all just lying libtard politicians feeding them a bunch of bunk about how to avoid contracting, spreading, and maybe dying of a deadly disease. Do they take their libtard doctor-prescribed medications? Why bother?

And it's not just Americans. There have been anti-masker protests in Berlin, London, and elsewhere.
