I can’t understand how stupid someone needs to be to listen to this drivel and think “Wow, this guy is a leader! Not just any leader either, the only leader for me!”.

The crazy thing is that you don’t need to cherry pick quotes or take them out of context to make him look like an idiot.

Listen to pretty much any interview or speech and he says something that is clearly idiotic, evil, or a blatant lie. Most likely all three… Repeatedly.

I get that Fox News is a hell of a drug, but just hearing this dipshit speak should shatter the illusion. The unwavering support is mind boggling.

Everything about him is like that. They claim he’s strong and full of vitality too. All you have to do is watch him walking, or drinking water, and you can clearly see that he’s a weakling.

Its not him directly. Most of them have only seen him through multiple filters. They are worshipping their golden calf at this point.

At least the hardcore Christians seem to see him more as a vessel or tool. God’s tool doesn’t have to be perfect and in typical Bible reverse 4D backwards logic, being imperfect even shows how much of a chosen one he is. I forgot the name, but there’s actually a precedent in the Bible itself.

So they acknowledge that he is the antithesis to anything they claim to believe in, but they also think that he somehow will bring God’s will or something.

He fits every description of the antichrist given in the Bible. They’ve warned about the antichrist for 2000 years, and then when he finally shows up they worship him. It’s wack, yo!

Is this like the fact that there being no evidence for the lord proves she’s real, and were we to discover a babel fish she would vanish in a puff of logic?

The weirdest brainworm is he advocates for Christian values in government when he isn’t even a Christian. Apparently it’s just “American” to him.

It hurts that he’s a real human being and he always votes.

Also thunder and lightning really ought to count as seeing and hearing electricity.

Hell, seeing anything at all may technically count, because electromagnetic waves.

The dumb thing is, I can kinda understand what the speech writer wanted to say and autoprompted to him. But his fried mind couldn’t understand it and because he’s so vain he won’t wear glasses even though he needs them so he can’t even read the autoprompter half the time.
