He's an idiot and it's baffling and infuriating that his supporters don't care
It’s malicious idiots all the way down.
He's not just any idiot. He's the most idiotic of idiots. He's an idiot the likes of which the world has never seen. Experts have told him that they've never met an idiot more idiotic than he is.
Did they run up with tears in their eyes? Shouting, "Sir! Sir!"?
Several version out there, but here's the meat:
I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I’m sorry. I can’t go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me. After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don’t have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel.
And this one fits the man!
You couldn't get a clue during clue mating season in a field full of horny clues if you smeared your body with clue musk and did the clue mating dance.
Hardly baffling.
His supporters aren't looking for competence. They don't want someone who understands complexity or nuance.
They're looking for someone who will hurt the people they've been told to hate, and who advocates for the same kind of dumbfuck approaches to problems that they take. Ask a spoiled 8yo bully what you should do about any given issue, then run with that as policy.
That's what fills them with joy. Simple, direct, doesn't care what other people think, or what the results will be, he just says the thing they feel. My grandfather would have loved him.
What's baffling and infuriating is that the dems have no fucking clue how to counter the approach. None whatsoever. They keep trying to play chess with the 8yo bully, he keeps hitting them in the face with the pieces, they cry because it's an illegal move, and all the bully's friends laugh and cheer him on.
I think some Democrats are better at it than others. Their approach has been wildly different since Harris took the scene. It's been less of trying to debate the policies that the GOP doesn't even have, and more of just pointing out how fucking bizarre this shitshow has been.
It's a little baffling that so many people operate at the level of 8 year old bullies, at least to me. Maybe I don't spend enough time with terrible people.
His supporters don't see these clips or read the transcript. Fox, OANN, etc, never show his disasters.
They haven’t the mental capacity to notice.
Then there's the other type of brainwashed idiots, the kind who even after all that has been said and done in the past eight years, insist like a scratched CD on the divide-and-conquer propaganda (strongly pushed by the right) that bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe.
They insist on cherry-picked and distorted narratives, insist on a simplistic and stupid view, insist on some holy grail of perfection and purity test, waiting for some charismatic messiah figure with a magic political wand to fix things overnight.
In other words, they insist on some miracle godking figure that is the mirror image of what the orange shithead is to the maga crowd. And they will whip out a number of cherry-picked, out-of-context facts and figures to NOT lift a finger on Election Day. And these cherry-picked, out-of-context tidbits are enthusiastically and forcefully handed to them each day on a platter, pre-digested, by right-wing concern troll farms.
They are just as simple and stupid as the maga plague, and fancy themselves as smarter and savvier than everyone else.

These are the kinds of idiots who actually post on Lemmy, too. Completely proud that they are "sticking it to the man", while parroting whataboutism and false equivalency.
I truly believe they do care. They just somehow, some way, don't see the lunacy, immaturity, and blatant disregard for... pretty much everything even resembling decorum or political legitimacy. I live around some very maga people and their opinion of him is just so strange and opposite of virtually every single instance I see of the man. And I feel like I view things in a pretty non biased light. At first anyways.
I truly believe that the bulk of the support is just an incredible example of the power of media (and now social media) to just dominate one's thoughts.
Trump continued and at one point singled out a member of the audience, calling her a “beautiful woman.”
“They will look at you — down [there] a beautiful woman — they’ll look at you and they will kill you,” he said.
What. The. Fuck. Are you talking about!?
What. The. Fuck. Are you talking about!?
Traitorapist Trump if fantasizing about raping and killing a women
Laser eyes obviously.
Is this guy’s sole purpose in life to inflict misery on others? He surely doesn’t care about the country.
I think that if he could have any one thing in life, it’d be to fuck his daughter. That is is his purpose in life.
So, misery it is😉
He dOeSnT cArE, Ðo U ?
Still has just a concept of a plan 🤣
Fuck sake, how hard is it to say, "cut taxes!?" Seriously, this is the GOP economic plan since forever.
Forreal, and thats what most I've talked to voted him for in 2016
Yeah, the problem is his policies he has discussed raised taxes for families making less than $367,000 a year, and lower them for those above. So 95% of Americans wouldn't like his plan, and if if he talks about cutting taxes, he has to keep the media quiet from calling him out on it.
Donald could just lie. It almost does not matter at all what he says. Fox would isolate his dimwitted cultists away from inconvenient facts.
