      He’s a lying, narcissistic, fat sack of shit with the mental horizon of a 3 year old. People mistake that as confidence and professionalism.

      I don’t understand either, and it worries me that someone as patently fake as Trump can dupe 50% of the electorate - what hope when there’s an actual firebrand populist who’s not a lifetime fraud comes along to drag the party further to fascism?

      we’re lucky the fascists have trump and desantis in the lead, tbh.

      It’s easy to understand. Because votes. People just adore and worship him because he will enact revenge and retribution on perceived and targeted enemies who are allegedly making their lives miserable, rather than being exploited by corporate America, making bad life choices, and/or following their nationalist, racist, xenophobic, and misogynistic ideology which distorts reality. You support Trump, you get his knuckle-dragging horde of idiot voters automatically, with little to no effort.

      “Russian hookers” being a Czech and Slovene. You just triggered the entirety of Eastern Europe.

          You do realise it’s like saying that Swedes and Germans are the same? Or Spaniards, Italians and the French? Just because they belong to the same family of languages doesn’t mean they have much else in common.

            Although I will say it being the same shit in no way gives any of these countries any right or authority to try and conquer any of the others. They aren’t literally the same.

            You know, 10 years ago I might have said Ukraine and Russia were the same shit, but would never have meant it in such a way as to undermine either country’s inherent right to self determination, free of belligerent neighbors. I just mean the hookers from each place are the same shit.

      Because his base is dedicated and significant in numbers. If the other republican politicians lost that republican bloc, they won’t win elections.
