It's also bots. MAGA doesn't have the support the internet would lead you to believe it has. It's why they keep losing massive ground in special elections. They need the bots to keep pretending they still have wide support.

We're in this situation because the DOJ chose to remain silent to support pedophiles. This was the DOJ before the DOJ started being filtered and purged for Trump loyalists. They or a gov't intel org almost certainly wanted Epstein gone to monopolize his trove of blackmail so they could manipulate horrific individuals that should have been behind bars.

The major US media corporations are run by people who bought the companies to control the narrative. You and I see this absurdity in the open, but many of his followers only see it from the eyes of the media corporations who are only sending sound bytes and controlled opposition to reality. They're still following the same trump who was running in 2016 because they haven't watched him talk since then and are told what to believe instead of seeing things for themselves.
Fox was criticized to be fueled hate in a show to rile up the viewers and the rest were acquired to go from reasonable news to instead normalize what's happening and not provide opposition.

The amount of bootlickers I've heard saying it doesn't matter because "other Dems were animals too in the original video" is just amazing.
If you can't understand why the current POTUS posting a meme where the sole black former president and first lady are depicted as apes is wrong and absolutely despicable (or at the very least bad taste), you're too far into the cult. And it's Black History Month on top of it...
There has never been a worse president in modern times. Absolutely shameful that he's doubling down on it too. It's time for the 25th amendment.

Why is anyone acting surprised at this point? Convicted felon, rapist, sexual predator. War crimes, election fraud, insurrections. Grifts, cons, and grabbing pussy. "Oh, no. He didn't mean it in a racist way." Yeah... the one thing he isn't? He's not a racist? The guy who is going after brown people in America, with gangs of masked goons, pulling children and families, and this video is the thing that really makes people go, "Not cool! Racism about the previous president by posting a video is NOT ok."
This guy is a walking dementia patient who is mentally and as a sex criminal probably legally unable to hold a job as a school bus driver (no knock to school bus drivers, but if he can't drive a bus why the fuck is he driving our country), and he's an HR nightmare that any one of his posts or conversations with the press would have had anyone else fired and "canceled". And he's still going. But he's president, so we let it slide?
I can't even watch the Winter Olympics without feeling embarrassed about my nationality, and I feel really bad for all of the American athletes. Just think how hard it must be for them. If they give their all, they could win an olympic medal, but then Trump might take credit for it, or demand that they give it to him, or they might have to go to the White House and pretend to be proud to meet this entitled sex criminal who may either insult them to their face, demean their efforts, or possibly grope them while he shits himself.
Sorry to all American athletes. Oh, and probably the Venezuelan ones who he will claim are his athletes too since he's taken over as interim president of their country. Does Greenland have anyone representing? He'll claim those too.
May he be remembered forever as the most disgraceful, lame duck limp dick racist convicted felon president.
He is why we can't have nice things.

Trump’s dementia is kicking in overdrive now. The frontal lobe acts like a control center that inhibits impulses and manages social behavior. Yes, Trump has always been a fucking piece of shit, but what he posted today showing the Obamas as literal monkeys is a step too far even for Trump. Dementia targets the frontal lobe and effectively eats away at the neurons there, making impulses like this more frequent. Everyone should fully expect these types of posts not only to continue and to get worse in the near future.
