Indeed. Its solely wrapped around the personality of the Orange one.


It seems like you and others are obsessed with him and try to prevent him from being president

They are too out of touch with the an average American to understand Trump’s appeal.

Similar thing happened on a much smaller scale to me. I was still living in Iowa and helping to run the grass roots effort for a candidate. We were heading into the straw poll which was going to be held in Ames and I live in Mae’s and knew a lot of the surrounding county GOP folks.

I recommended a hog roast at some friends’ farm just north of Ames - we could invite around 500-600 people and with a good turn out propel the candidate (who was from a farming background and that was part of his campaign theme) up a couple of places leading to the straw poll.

His inside the beltway guys hated the idea they fought against it every which way. The candidate loved the idea and gave it the green light.

I got zero support from the DC guys in prep and getting people out. Luckily I knew people and got help anyway. A couple days before the event I came up with the idea that the candidate should come into the pig roast on an antique John Deere tractor that the host family had. Again, the beltway guys hated it, fought against it, etc. The candidate liked the idea and did it.

The crowd absolutely loved the whole event, his support for the straw poll in Story and the surrounding counties got a great bump (counties people could easily vote in the straw poll without committing to a day of travel to vote) and he ended up 3rd. Prior to the event he was bouncing between 6th and 7th.

By the way, the ONLY time the candidate got featured in Time magazine was an article on the pig roast event. The DC guys tried to claim credit after that article came out. They were leeches even back then.

Listening to all of these media idiots from fox, MNBC, CNN etc and the overriding theme that they have been asking is “how is DJT still popular”?


America First/MAGA is magnitudes bigger than Trump and will exist long after Trump. Trump was the dude with the huge baby makers that stepped up and showed street level Americans you're getting screwed by the D.C. Uniparty Globalists, allow me to yank the curtain down that's obscuring your view of D.C. Uniparty corruption.

Popular is a relative term. He is hated by the left and has about half the right on his side.

How do you explain the concept of “joy” to someone who is nothing but miserable?

We have to start with the premise that anything you say is a lie.

You're the lying Leftist idiot that tried to convince everyone that their was basically a School shooting per day in this country by passing off anti-gun propaganda as stats.

You are an expert in jack-shite.

That’s another false claim, and yet again, a weak smear. You need better talking points

It's not a false claim. The maga fan club judges every other politician by how loyal they are to Trump and not on their policy positions.

People are angry. They have been lied to and used as pawns by both Parties.
They lost their country. Now they want revenge at all cost.

The "at all cost" part is what bothers me..

If he is popular then why is his unfavorable rating so high?

That's not their job. They're paid to convince the audience that MAGA is something other than what it is.


Like claiming BLM protests were "mostly peaceful" while standing before a burning storefront. Or repeating things like the Charlottesville lie and telling people that Trump called Nazis "very fine people", even though he never did.

How much attention do you really need? Good grief.

We’re in a war against evil manning the last castle for freedom. At all cost has become necessary because it’s been forced on us.

It obviously doesn't apply to all of MAGA but it's certainly a thing. NPCs like GumboBot certainly fit the bill. The guy was a Desantis supporter until Trump told him not to be.

Nice deflection. Would expect a bitch move like that from you though.

You and your fellow Liberal idiots at Democrat Underground having an informal polling (heh) about whether he's popular isn't a good indicator.


We've seen your idea of what counts as legit "stats" with your bullzhit "School shooting per day" propaganda.

Yes, it's crystal clear that Trump is simply a useful tool, not an object of adoration that must be defended against every perceived slight.

I agree. I just don't think any of the policiticans or Parties are the answer.
False Prophets telling us what we want to hear. I think evil is runniing rampantly to escalate things in both Parties. None of the people running for President are even "good people".

I pray to Jesus everyday for wisdom for all of our elected leaders.
