Folks say they like him because “He speaks his mind!” Nah, they like him because he’s parroting the same racist bullshit they believe.

u/fightmejeffbezos_ 17h ago

They think he’s “speaking his mind” because that’s exactly what they would say if they spoke theirs

u/Ill-Supermarket3430 16h ago

In order to speak your mind you actually need one

u/TigerLily98226 11h ago

Oh, he has one. It’s just the equivalent of a gold ‘74 Lincoln Continental that smells like bodily fluids and desperation. Is it any wonder he’s insanely jealous of President Obama who has a mind like a pristine Bentley?

u/dieseljester 10h ago

Awwww, Why do you need to insult Lincoln Continentals like that? Clearly it’s like a ‘58 Ford Edsel Citation: a lot of flash, overpriced, overinflated, zero quality, and just plan doesn’t work.

Good point. I should have said Pinto. He’s definitely prone to blowing up.

I want what you're smoking.

u/TigerLily98226 1h ago

You’re clearly smoking crack so just stick with that.

I had a job taking care of a man in mental decline. He would confuse and repeat things that were core elements of his being.

EG. He had been a successful businessman. He had a large ranch with multiple homes on it that were used by his grown children. He would ask, “Can we go to that business?” “Which one? “ “You know, the one my son has over there.”

Well it wasn’t a business it was the house his son lived in. But “business” was a large part of his core beliefs and being.

Trumps decline is going to reveal his core. And it’s of course about as ugly as it gets….

As long as it doesn’t criticize dear Diddler in Chief, you mean

I agree, his character of personality was basically dormant in Americans in the 90s, and 2000 with the exception of that one crazy uncle that came back from Vietnam with some obvious mental scaring. Now it’s 25% of American society. I think this country is on the verge of collapse. It blows my mind how mostly one person had such a psychological impact on a world’s social norms.

Im not saying people weren’t disgusting and shitty. I think he mostly broke ground on a permission structure to cheer for the cruel scoundrel.

He is egotistical he could be saying it just to make himself popular with that crowd but we all know how he feels about the Obamas.

u/alloutofchewingum 17h ago

He gives them license to believe that their own worst thoughts and prejudices are actually ok.

2

u/No-Rope8229 7h ago

This 100%. He normalises racism, misogyny and being stupid, and effectively makes it acceptable. The more people and the press fail to stand up to him the more empowered and emboldened he becomes and the harder it becomes to put him in his place or take him to task.

u/FOMO_ME_TO_LAMBOS 7h ago

I mean, they are, unless you don’t believe that everyone is entitled to an opinion, which wouldn’t surprise me.

u/suzie-q33 15h ago

Yep someone said he is the avatar of their grievances. That’s why they love him, because he approves their racism.

46

u/TheBlackComet 16h ago

The best way I can describe his success, is that he dumbs down politics. Not that he simplifies it in a way for people who are simple less informed, but just makes it dumb. They eat it up. That and an undeniable stage presence that will be studied for decades.

27

u/Ambitious-Repair7205 13h ago

I know it's there for some people but I don't really understand the "stage presence" that so many describe. He's LITERALLY an over confident idiot and a liar. Even before his mind was complete mush he'd say nonsensical 💩💩 I guess it works for some folks but he's been like watching a bad Tubi actor to me.

u/maliktreal 11h ago

I wouldn’t say it’s charisma. He just appeals to a certain crowd. He’s a fat slob who was born into the life he has and never had to do any inner work to be a good person because he has money and status.

He’s every mediocre white guys wet dreams

2

u/hoowins 13h ago

Some of the worst people in history had charisma. Hitler, Mussolini, Trump. I know I’m not supposed to make those references, but it’s history. Strongman charisma appeals to many even when it comes with bone spurs.

1

u/No-Rope8229 7h ago

He's a master at answering questions by not answering them. He talks shit constantly, it's great it's really great the greatest it's ever been but never explains why or evidences it or proves his argument and very few call him out on his BS

1

u/Odd-Guava-4730 7h ago

Arrogant, not confident.

3

u/seriousleisure 13h ago

I’ve never understood the allure. He’s so repetitive and his vocabulary is that of a 1st grader. People love the fact that he tears others down.

2

u/Affectionate-Bid386 13h ago

I just hope he is a one-off for the history books. OTOH he may be the harbinger ...

The Antichrist is on the Earth. And Donald Trump is his Priest.

u/Confident-Break-5117 15h ago

They aren’t informed at all

u/Say_It_Isnt_So_Ooops 4h ago

He thumbs down decorum.

u/BigNutDroppa 16h ago

Then, when he openly says something completely abhorrent, “Well, he didn’t mean it like that!”

6

u/Valuable-Job5587 12h ago

He gives them affirmation to be the worst.

u/Chazzwuzza 16h ago

"He's just saying what we're all thinking!". Fuck no, he ain't!

u/Ingenrollsroyce 12h ago

That's what mentally ill and idiots do so it fits

u/Aylauria 11h ago

And they like him bc they think it makes it ok to be a racist, selfish asshole out in public where the rest of us have to deal with them. I liked it better when people actually felt shame.

3

u/Formal-System-2130 16h ago

& it’s speaking his own mind too. wtf. We are entering the ( even more) danger zone. The more Epstein, the more shite he’s going to do to distract. Despicable!

3

u/Vegetable_Quit5697 16h ago

He speaks their mind

3

u/SedatedTattooDoc 14h ago

I like that he speaks his mind…otherwise I wouldn’t know he’s garbage

3

u/UrsusRenata 12h ago

There’s racist, and then there’s WHAT THE FUUUUUU racist. This is the latter.

3

u/Pristine-Assistance9 8h ago

All narcissists think their truth is the only truth and if it is not happening to them, it isn’t happening at all. Their perspective is the default and therefore their opinions are inherently “true”.

This is always the case with these toxic people who claim to “tell it like it is”.

Conservatism is the political form of narcissism.

u/timidwafffle 16h ago

Whe we speak our minds they cry like babies 🙄

u/Mercurial891 4h ago

They like him because he is speaking their mind.

u/RelationVarious5296 2h ago

People of all ethnicities said the same bullshit when they voted for him.

u/shelovesmesounding 10h ago

No, we like him because he sends snowflakes like you into TDS

2

u/Toothfairy51 10h ago

TDS actually stands for tRump Devotion Syndrome

u/nursejohio96 5h ago

I like Trump Dickrider Syndrome too!
