Do the Trumpsters actually not realize how silly Trump sounds?

Or do they realize it and just don't care about it?

They just want someone to actually sometimes fight for them against the media and the government, and Trump sorta did that for 3 years. The fact that they support him so rabidly shows you just how little the GOP historically has advocated for the interests of Trump’s base. These people were essentially neglected or sharted on for so long that they latched on tight to the first politician to even bother paying them lip service.

Trump won in the first place by striking a chord with a demographic that absolutely hates the government for good reason. He’s their weapon. A blunt weapon is still a weapon.

It's not that he's wrong, but he's ignoring all the fighting he's created with party members

True, like when every single member of the House voted for a bill fighting child sex trafficking.

Every member except one. Matt Gaetz.

I get that but the danger there is blind loyalty. I'm not sure Trump is really helping their case anymore, and in fact, he might be hurting it, and they don't see it.

The Radical Democrats are lockstep together. Republicans allow free thought.

An example is Blue Dog Democrats. They were ran out of the Democratic Party and became Republicans. Due to all of this Republicans will not be lockstep.

I agree with you. The problem is, if Trump isn’t helping them, who is? They don’t have any other allies. They only have enemies who despise them in every direction. They don’t really have a choice. It seems like they can support a Trump who has completely lost his edge and forgotten how he got here or support someone else who is actively working to destroy them. Kinda damned if you don’t/damned if you do.

Because dissent is allowed amongst the right. Disagree with the left on any single issue and you are ostracized and labeled a white supremacist, misogynist or whatever other name they want to call you.

Then you must think Trump's strategy was brilliant, no?

He must be suffering from dementia because he can't seem to remember all the fighting he was doing with Republicans during the 2016 primaries.

I had to do a double take when I saw that post from Trump. It’s unreal.

Remember that the next time he criticizes conservative governors because they don’t immediately bow down to him.

Your well documented unhinged, obsessive hatred of Trump excludes you from being taken seriously.

BTW, how many alters is this?
