So Youre a Trump Supporter!

[NanceGreggs]

Congratulations!

So your elderly mother - who lives three states away, and whose only nutritious meals, human contact, and a look-see to make sure she’s okay is via Meals-on-Wheels - is facing being cut-off from that program. If you voted for Trump, this is what you voted for! You must be thrilled!

So you finally got affordable healthcare coverage via Obamacare, and now you’re hearing that under TrumpScare, millions of people will lose their coverage – and you might be one of them! You must be ecstatic with your choice of pResident!

So you voted for the guy who was going to “drain the swamp” of elitist billionaires. Have you checked-out his Cabinet appointees lately? You must be jumping up and down with joy!

So you wanted a pResident who was going to bring jobs back to America. You must be so proud walking around in your MAGA hats and tees – the ones with the “Made in China” labels. Apparently no one can fool you!

So you live in Appalachia and the pResident you voted for wants to eliminate funding for programs supporting laid-off coal miners and others in your region. I guess there’s no end to the celebrations you must be having tonight!

So you voted for Trump because he’s honest and trustworthy. It’s nice to know that blind faith still exists among people who have witnessed Trump being caught in lie after lie, and still believe him!

So you chose a pResident who was capable of keeping you “safe”. No doubt you sleep well knowing that someone who goes ballistic over an SNL sketch has access to the nuclear codes. Well done!

If I were a Trump voter, I’d be on the phone to the White House on a daily basis, expressing how thankful I am for his incredible leadership. I would express my undying gratitude for his complete disdain for people who actually will die as a result of his policies. I would state how happy I am that he wants families to go without food while he costs the taxpayers millions of dollars every week protecting his wife and child at Trump Tower, and flying to Florida to play golf.

If I had contributed to putting Trump in office, I would be flooding the offices of every Republican now defending his lies, his idiocy, and his incompetence with emails and faxes, thanking them for standing-up for the man who has made himself the laughingstock of the world, and is reducing my country to the status of a Third World nation.

I’m sure that many of you are grateful that you sent money to the Trump campaign while you still had the financial wherewithal to do so – now that you’re facing losing your jobs, your savings, and might be bankrupted by medical bills when you lose your healthcare coverage.

But this is what you voted for. This is what you supported. You must be overjoyed that you got exactly what wanted!

So it’s time to grab that phone – while you can still afford one – and thank your pResident for everything he’s doing for you and your fellow citizens.

Just don’t call on a weekend, because he’ll be at Mar-a-Lago, stuffing his face on your dime while explaining how the country can’t afford to feed your elderly mother.

5. a national virtue can easily become a sin

Americans are very tolerant of what politicians and tycoons will do because they believe that is the needed sacrifice for the greater whole.. It does not help that their idea of a greater whole is one that has been compromised by religion. Yes I know there are many great religious liberals, and no Richard Dawkins, I am not going to take them out of the boat because you want to be the next ideologue to purge the world of all rivals, even under the name of science. However, it does not help that many of these people believe that Jesus wants them to get rid of all those liberal programs, and for that matter of the liberals, and that he will make everything all right. Nevermind all the quotes about Jesus where he says in no uncertain terms "it is harder for a rich man to slide for the I have a needle but to enter the kingdom of heaven."

That is because America became a haven for version of Calvinism. Now, all the liberal Calvinist can feel free to private message me about how Calvinism is not just some faith that believes that rich people are loved more by God than the rest of us. I will read your quotes and your blue links and make a sincere effort to understand you. I am dead serious about that. But when I see people like Betsy Devos use Calvinism and its "Protestant work ethic", and seem folks like the Christian coalition quote its theology in order to sincerely say that taking food from poor children is actually a kindness and a virtue, then I have to conclude that whatever sincere intent John Calvin had was very successfully co-opted by Satan. It's no accident that the red states in the union had to be ones that quote how they are a Christian nation, and how the denominations that dominate those states happen to be from that strain of Scottish Calvinism that took root so well that the stars and bars is a cross of St. Andrew. We inherited the Enlightenment in this country, but we also inherited the counter Enlightenment, which was in a tent by rich men, and the peasants that wanted to be rich men to roll back civilization. It's no accident that these folks are also the ones who tend to hate American intellectuals, and that many of them happen to be in Trump's cabinet.


Oh yes, Steve Bannon, Paul Ryan, Antonin Scalia were all good Catholic boys, but even they knew that behind their backs the real power elite see their power in their faith, which is no use for any but themselves. if we're going to go ahead and convert Trump voters, we cannot appeal to higher ideals. we will need to appeal to two things which are the only things they care about, fear and greed. Fortunately, eeven as Trump's policies affect them the most and bring about true suffering, the sort of suffering that no civilized nation would ever allow to be inflicted upon itself, we will be able to appeal to greed, because there is only so long that they can go to church and be told that they are suffering for some greater good before they say "I'm making everyone else but me but I want money dammit!" and they will gladly screw over the GOP if we can convince them that their greed will be fulfilled.. Let me be clear, I am not talking about need, because their children can be starving, their teeth could be rotting, and yet the old ego boosters of the GOP will be fed to them in droves, especially black and brown dead bodies, that they can kick around and get their ego boost from. No, we will have to appeal to their greed and ego, which does not mean that we have to compromise ourselves,, it means that the people would have made hate and greed their mode of living for the past 20 years can have that energy directed at people who promised them ego boost, but who will not even wait to get out the door before blowing cigar smoke in their face.

I realize what I have said is nasty, and I admit I am ashamed to say it, but I'm even more ashamed of allowing the very wicked people to get away with murder because we are trying to play nice. These ladies, who represent Dixie at its finest, who reminded me that I cannot paint people from a certain region of the country with a red broadbrush, say far better than I ever could:

9. We need new words to this song

to fit today's situation.

Thanks for posting. This was always one of my favorites when I was in college.

7. Excellent, Nance!!

As always. I'd love to post this on some deplorable website-- it would be hilarious watching them fumble for excuses and vainly try to control their smut-riddled, idiotic blathering.

8. It ain't me, babe.

"Go 'way from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who's never weak but always strong
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe"

10. My husband does MoW on Fridays. Here in St. Augustine, we feed over 300 people daily, and yes,

sometimes that MoW person is the only person they get to see all day.

That spit on and boycotted the Dixie Chicks for the most part are the same people that voted for Trump and Trump said much worse things about George Bush than the Dixie Chicks ever did.

[tavalon]

12. Yep, by this time, anyone who is still a Trump supporter

needs to be mocked because they are stupider than table crackers. Oops, did I say crackers? My bad. The point is, these people are stupid and unwilling to be educated. The smarter ones are already on our side of the aisle.

13. Great post Nance

14. Yet another great OP Nance

We're getting spoiled by your writing.

15. And he's not just stuffing his face on our dime,

he's turning a profit on stuffing his face on our dime. Having the government pay the owner of the establishment for it. As the owner, he's charging the taxpayers for feeding and housing the president, at his own establishment.

We're not just paying him to eat, and paying for him to eat, we're paying HIM for him to eat.

While he's simultaneously not turning down the salary he said he'd give to charity.

16. Sadly, may be too lofty and over their pointy little brainless heads, I fear.

Spot on points.
