The amount of cognitive dissonance and double think it takes to be a Trump supporter right now...
One of the very few pleasures afforded to us right now is watching some in the GOP squirm in their seats as they fight to still fall behind Trump. Now of course many who do are just as sociopathic as Trump himself but you can just see in the faces of many that they don't like supporting this pile of shit. Not because their own views aren't terrible of course but because Trump is another level of crazy and because he's not your typical republican, indeed he's quite willing to throw any number of traditional republican values under the buss, indeed ANYTHING it takes, to get his way.
I was just thinking, the amount of cognitive dissonance in the heads of a lot of those people must be just excruciating, and it's comical. A party that for decades now has held evangelical Christianity and "family values" as a central tent pole of their party now has a leader who is about as crass as a strip club owner, and indeed is world renown as the casino billionaire. A man who doesn't attend church and can't quote a single bible passage properly and is married to a former nude model and talks about grabbing women by the pussy, is head of the party that espouses family values as its central tenant. Course I can get behind the non religious part being an atheist myself, in fact the fact that religion has played almost no part in this US election is a breath of fresh air for me for once. But of course the price isn't worth it. But man it must be painful for those guys.
And now with the revelations that Russia helped get Trump elected and Trumps obvious cozy connections with Russia those who said they HATE socialism now have to contend with the fact that a former communist country wants Trump as your head of state.
Then there are those who really thought he was going to help the working class and bring jobs back to America. Well if you still believe that, and it seems from the number that support him that an awful lot still must somehow, well then you have to mentally edit out the fact that he's naming a hedge fund manager as his treasury secretary and the CEO of Exxon as secretary of state. Need an aspirin for that headache yet?

like a hairball caught in his throat.
twisting the knife in the wound. He wanted to get Romney back for the things he said about him publicly. Trump has always been a thin skinned vindictive son of a bitch. Any time anyone upsets him he threatens to sue or calls them names. And Romney really tried to tear him a new one publicly early on. To have been a fly on the wall at that dinner. I'm pretty sure Trump schooled Romney in the ways of being an asshole. Just look at that look on Romney's face, almost feel sorry for him:
