Why does nearly every insane thing this guy does just get hand-waved by the press and his sycophantic supporters? I know it has been done to death, but there are so many things he’s done that would have demolished the careers of previous politicians.
If Joe Biden had an MRI a month ago and we had no idea why it was done or on what body part and he claimed he had no idea about either of those things it would literally be all you heard about in the press but Trump just gets a huge pass b/c reporters treat him differently.

I’m guessing that being in an enclosed space with this guy and his incredible odor is enough to make the hardiest person pass out.

Easy to believe this guy ignored someone who passed out in the Oval Office. He did ignore a guest at a Mar-a-Lago event who fell off the stage and split his head open and complained about the blood staining his marble floor. The lack of empathy is on-brand.

When you’re feeling hopeless, as I sometimes do, it’s important to remember that mass submission is a necessary component of tyranny, and small acts of resistance are still acts of rebellion.
The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.

I have no idea how people look at him and don’t see this. I have no idea how people listen to him and don’t hear a a narcissistic bullshit artist. I have no idea how people look at his actions and not see a criminal.

MAGA isn’t a political party.
It’s a last stand for people terrified of losing white dominance in a multiracial democracy.
