(6,787 posts)He is talking about Trump supporters. That may just cause death and disease among them. They're feeding on poison after all.

(1,708 posts)Did they believe they would suddenly become wealthy back in 2016?
Other than his billionaire friends, the middle and lower classes become poorer during his first term.
So they waited until old man Biden times - when things actually started getting better - to decide let's go back to Chumptown.
Now it's all hell and they're still going to blame the people least responsible and give Chump a pass.
Fuck them all.

(20,627 posts)He's shitting on the very people and institutions they consider responsible for their failings. Libs in general, elites who actually know things, brown people who do much of the hard work in this country, trans people who make up an extraordinarily tiny part of our populace but are easy to attack, PBS, NPR, USAID (though few even knew that existed), and on and on and on. And they love him for it.

this is the BEST single paragragh
that succinctly breaks down the reasons for...
the rise of Donald Trump.
Sickening. Maddening too...

(28 posts)In his 1989 interview with Larry King, Donald Trump said, "Maybe hate is what we need if we're going to get something done." Sadly, many Americans like his message.

(3,313 posts)Now that we are losing the greatest generation who knew them up close and personal, the Nazis have been regulated to sinister black and white cartoons. But they were (once) people with grievances who were skillfully manipulated into the monstrosity that became the Third Reich. It's been 92 years since that started, but the blueprint has remained the same.

(589 posts)He told the German people that WWI wasn't their fault, that they would have won if it hadn't been for the Jews teaming up with the corrupt politicians and then when they surrendered because their money was at risk they made terrible deals with the allies that lined their pockets even more. He told them that everything they were told were lies and that if they just gave into their worst instincts Germany would rise from the ashes and punish everyone who did it to them starting with the Jews.
Regardless if he conciously knows it or not is playing Hitler's playbook to almost perfection. The problem Trump has is that he is a lot older than Hitler was when he came to power and he definitely has an expiration date that is fast approaching. Hitler was also a lot better at picking evil people to help him who were VERY comptent, Trump tends to pick losers.

(9,690 posts)I think they voted for him because they just want to hurt people. To lash out in rage about their situation at those who are different.
That they are bullies who just take pleasure in the suffering of those not like them.
They know their problems are their own fault and really dont care. Cruelty is the point. Not blame.
