The Trumpist Cult and its Zombies

[donquixote99]

Trump is their hero. They will not believe ill of him, they will instead believe ill of anyone who says against him. It's tribal, to use the usual euphemism that means it's racial. People always said America was liable to go for 'the man on the white horse' if things got rough. Things didn't have to get very rough.

Of course only a minority actually went for him and he won ugly, but he's in, and it may get truly ugly before it's all over.

Well, you do realize that what we Americans now consider "hardship" or "tyranny" is a joke to the rest of the world, right? We live in a country with idiots who think dialing "1 for English" is oppression and being told it's not good to go around calling people "ni**er" is a violation of their 1st Amendment rights. And God help you if you suggest that doing so makes them racist.
