These People
It’s the stupidity – people who still insist that Covid-19 is a ‘hoax’ perpetrated to make Trump look bad, but can’t explain how the entire world agreed to be ‘in on it’, and what happened to the hundreds of thousands of people who have disappeared off the planet.
It’s the ignorance – people who are still complaining about Obama’s handling of 9-11 and Katrina, despite the fact that he wasn’t in office until years after those events.
It’s the blind devotion – people who keep telling us how much good Trump has done for the country, but can’t name a single accomplishment he’s allegedly achieved.
It’s the cultish behaviour – people who worship a man for no other reason than that they believe he is who he claims to be, instead of who he has shown himself to be.
But more than anything else, it’s the raw, seething hatred that literally oozes out of these people’s pores. It is the constant outpouring of rage towards anyone and everyone, based on race, religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. It’s the bullying cop, the armed-to-the-teeth grocery shopper, the Karens & Kens who wreck store displays of masks, and call 911 on black neighbours who have the audacity to live next door.
This is why we can’t embrace Republicans – because the only thing they embrace is their anger, their put-upon feelings, their need to feel that people they don’t like or agree with politically are going to get something only they are somehow entitled to have.
It’s the pure, unadulterated outrage that these people spew 24/7, on every occasion and at every event, that makes one ask the obvious question: If Trump has made their lives better, why are they so angry? Why do they act like there’s only so much food at the table, and their only recourse is to fight their fellow citizens over whatever scraps they can grab?
You’d think racists would be happy, anti-Semites would be overjoyed, and homophobes would be ecstatic to have a “pResident” who thinks like they do, and acts accordingly. And yet they are so overwhelmingly consumed with some inexplicable outrage, they feel compelled to demonstrate it at every opportunity.
If Trump-humpers believe he’s doing and saying everything they want to see and hear, why are they so dissatisfied with everything? Why are they so enraged? Why are they not sitting home, enjoying what their “pResident” has done for them? Why are they not dancing in the streets, celebrating how vastly improved their lives have become thanks to their ‘chosen-by-God’ leader?
The answer is, of course, obvious: these people are not happy. They are not out spending that “big middle-class tax break” they were promised – the one that benefited the top 1% and left them with crumbs. They are not seeing their lives improved in any way, they are not seeing the promised healthcare plan that is more affordable than Obamacare, they are not seeing their roads and bridges being repaired and renewed, they are not seeing their children’s schools being sufficiently funded, they are not seeing their air and water being protected – and they are most certainly not seeing Mexico paying for a wall.
The truth is that Trump-humpers are angry at Trump – at his incompetence, his lack of leadership, and the lengthy list of promises not kept. So they’re doing what he does – they’re blaming everyone else for his failures by lashing out.
Citizens who are actually satisfied with their “pResident’s” performance in office aren’t perpetually pissed-off. And it really is as simple as that.

What is their leader they blindly follow going to tell them to do knowing he's going to prison
and probably losing all his properties, let alone being totally embarrassed in front of the entire
world? He doesn't like being embarrassed, will he do something awful to unleash their hate
and anger?
So they lash out in anger and frustration - just like a 4 year old.
This is the fault of our decimated Public Education system.
This is the result of 2+ generations of Home 'Schooling' by totally unqualified parents.
This is the result of blindly following Evangelical Religious Leaders who are ignorant themselves, and are con men out for a quick buck.
This is the result of normal folks who simply do not have time to engage in critical thinking about events because they are exhausted after working 2 or 3 jobs and raising a family at the same time.
This all is a result of 60 years of hateful 'Movement Conservatives' led by the Koch Brothers and other racist, uncaring, ruthless and quite frankly criminal billionaires.
They hated the protests of the 1960's, felt that middleclass youth had too much time on their hands, so set about changing the system to crush the Middle Class in it's entirety, and make good compliant serfs.
