"I voted for other people to suffer, and now I'm suffering. Is there no fairness in this world?"
Either that, or:
"When Donald Trump mentioned what a fine man Hannibal Lecter is before shuffling around to the YMCA, my brain registered that as him telling me everything that I wanted to hear because I'm a delusional psychopath with no grip on reality that thinks the world revolves around me."
The Hannibal Lecter thing drives me nuts, because Trump clearly heard someone mention immigration from political asylum and confused that with mental asylums.
I wish the press would have picked up on it and called him out.
I'm pretty sure he praised OJ Simpson at some point in the middle of all of that as well. He was also very concerned about offshore wind farms killing whales in record numbers. And there was that one incident where he just stood around on stage saying and doing nothing for an hour while golden oldies played.
The press was too busy printing headlines about Trump calling Biden "sleepy Joe" though. And honestly I'm not sure if an honest and fair press would've even helped in this case. It would've just been librul deep state propaganda. And they would've just gone on with their decorative diapers, foam fingers and Trump bibles regardless.
It wouldn't have helped. You can go online and see all of the semi reasonable convesations with trump supporters out in public and the all want to hold on to the idea he is a good, sane choice. They never accept the evidence. They just reluctantly shrug.
Some people can't see the train coming until they get hit by it.
idk man. there are a lot that i dont think will ever get it.
Big Smoke: Look the fuck out, CJ! The train
There are so, so, so many instances of this. If they'd picked up on a few more we wouldn't be in this mess. But they ignored them all because they're complicit in all of this.
That's also who the base is. Mediocre people who couldn't thrive but are pissed about it
It's usually the dumbest, most infantile reason with him. He just negotiated rare earth materials with Ukraine, and he's after them again in Greenland. I'm starting to think he wants them because they literally have "rare" in the name.
It all boils down go "I voted for them to hurt people" and then they act surprised when they're the ones being hurt.
