    This should be a red flag for Trump voters, but they won’t see it as such. They’ll just bend over and keep taking it.

    The democrats don’t really treat their voters any better. Run a losing campaign and ask for donations the morning after. We need legit third party options.

      THIS should be a red flag? Sorry but what is this compared to the 1000 previous things he did/said? They do not care. You/we are the enemy to them, because that is what their sources tell them. Breaking this cycle is obviously not a matter of calling then dumb or making fun of them. The same way getting over a gambling addiction.

        My incorrigible Trumper mom got shook when I told her they’re coming for her social security and VA benefits. Then I started sending her stories about it. Right on time, they fire a bunch of folks in Social Security and she actually said “I would need to rethink supporting him”

        I think that was literally the point they were making. Agreed, though, that breaking the cycle is the most important approach. When a healthcare CEO got got, they initially celebrated it. I think they were reachable in that moment, but right-wing media chastised them, and in about 5 days or so, the murmurs in the halls started reverted to talking points.
