The Soullessness Of The Trump Supporter..... Le
Post# of 123707
Let's start at the beginning. In order to support Trump you had to ignore that he was a man married three times who cheated on each of his wives. That he went bankrupt four times. That he was a huckster and a scam artist who sold cheap wine and bad steaks, ran a phony "university", had a fake alter-ego named John Barron, couldn't borrow a dime from an American bank and raised money selling real estate to Russian oligarchs at inflated prices in what was likely a money-laundering scheme and failed at every business-other than selling his name-that he ever started.
The fact that he was deep in debt to Russians when he decided run for president wasn't really an issue for you. He's a guy who's entire life is a lie. There's more, but that should sufficiently illustrate what you had to look past.
So maybe you liked his policies (whatever they may be). He hates the same people you hate. He tells you what you want to hear. He's going to shake things up and change the status quo. He's for the working guy-even though he's spent his life screwing small contractors and has never put his fat ass to work doing anything remotely physical. He talks tough, America's going to be respected! Who cares about those bone spurs. So you vote for him. OK. Where do we go from there?
Mulsim ban? l'm cool with that, can't trust them. Put children in cages? Hey, their parents never should have tried to come into this country-it's their fault. Selling off the country's natural assets? We need to be energy independent! America first! You love the tax cut. Who cares if it really didn't benefit you. You like the sound of it. You don't mind bankers in charge of the banking system. Coal lobbyists in charge of the environment. His daughter and son-in-law in charge of who knows what. It's all okey doke with you. We got Supreme Court justices and Federal judges. He stands up for "religious freedom". Maybe you even think God sent Trump. No, that's not delusional at all.
So now, you start to hear about all kinds of illegal things. He's an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal action that sent his personal attorney to jail. Won't show you his taxes. Strange deals with the Saudis. Fixing elections with the Russians. Takes Putin's side in nearly everything. Nothing to be concerned with,right? FBI? Liars! State Department officials? Liars! Alarmed members of the NSA? Liars! Anyone who says anything bad about Trump? Liars!
Face it. You have to accept that anyone and everyone who says something bad about Trump is lying. The only person telling the truth? Oh,yeah, the serial liar.
Now, he's back colluding with the Russians. Putting the screws to the Ukranians for his benefit with your tax dollars. Assassinating foreign generals. Threatening our own ambassadors. There's a parade of witnesses with impeccable credibility telling you all about his wrongdoing. Oh yeah, they're liars too. Everyone is lying. Only Trump tells the truth.
Yet you'll pound your chest about how great our country is. You'll tout your faith, your patriotism, your work ethic, all of which you find personified in the guy I just described. Surely at some point in time it must dawn on you that you have to accept a total fantasy about the entire world (except for Russia) conspiring to lie about Trump to keep up this bizarre construct, right. Maybe, just maybe, at least one of those people is telling the truth? Nah.
You go on living in la la land where Trump is our savior. Why? Some might call you stupid. Some might call you delusional. There are any of a hundred reasons why that is so. When it all comes out in the wash, it's because you are soulless. Devoid of principal. Devoid of morals. This isn't a simple policy disagreement. That I can deal with. I can accept that maybe you voted for him the first time around because you wanted to shake things up. Maybe you didn't understand just how bad he person he has always been. But now, I can't explain away your continued support as a policy disagreement. He's an awful person and now so are you.
Maybe you didn't have a soul to begin with, maybe you sold it for a tax cut and a Supreme Court appointee. But your soulless, just like Trump. And unless we get our country out of the hands of the soulless cretins running it now, it will all end badly.
