    The question is, how much time until they realize it and how more time until they admit it.

      They will never realize it as long as they have Others to blame for it instead.

        ‘blame someone else’ has always been a part of the propaganda controlling them. its core to getting them to vote against their own best interests. it will always be someone elses fault

      It takes sustained “reality doesn’t not match internal model” for anything to happen. I’ll give them ten years for them to start saying “maybe I was wrong”. People are very very good at ignoring something they don’t want to see. Citation: global warming.

        We got ourselves an optimist here! I sincerity hope you’re right. But 40 years on and they still worship terrorists like Reagan. Call me sufficiently jaded. But I would love to be surprised.

        At least they will be feeling the real consequences, regardless of their blindness to the cause, which was their own actions.

        Exactly. As long as Trump frames his lies properly to blame the left, liberals, Democrats, etc. they’ll believe and continue to follow him without question.

    His supporters no longer matter to him. They elected him, and now they serve no further purpose, at least not until he realizes that he’s going to need them to be violent on his behalf.

    Be prepared. !Resist@fedia.io that shit.

    I’m planning to put up a sign right in the middle of my town saying, “You voted for this, you dumb asses, now enjoy it.”

    Should make for an interesting conversation piece on my town page on facebook

    Betray? These idiots actually believed that their leader had any loyalty to them.

    Trump isn’t betraying anyone … he never had any loyalty to begin with.

    Do I get to post this in reply when someone reposts that article from Cracked every two weeks now?

        This one.

        TL;DR: In this article the author explains to us that rural Trump voters have been vilified by untrue stereotypes or assumptions about them perpetuated by urban Democrats, and that of course they must turn to Trump. The tentpoles upon which the author’s premise and viewpoint hang are untrue assumptions or stereotypes about urban Democrats.

        The article probably doesn’t literally get posted every two weeks, but I run across it amazingly often, and somehow no one ever describes it using the second sentence in my summary.

          Read the article, thanks for sharing. “The tentpoles upon which the author’s premise and viewpoint hang are untrue assumptions or stereotypes about urban Democrats.” Is an accurate assessment.

      They’re Republicans. They’ll twist anything in their minds to be a “win” as long as it pisses Democrats off - that’s all they care about anymore. At least until the shit hits their own personal fan, by which time it’s too late.
