WOW, please listen to THIS:


John Fugelsang asks a Trump supporter for 13 minutes what Christian values Trump has not turned his back on, and why she bases her support on his behavior. He remains very respectful to the caller and tries to keep the...

1. LOL, TOO FUNNY

[Siwsan]

2. John has the patience of a saint.

I don't know how he maintains. I know I couldn't do it.

[LuckyCharms]

3. This is beautiful. Thanks. n/t

[smirkymonkey]

4. Ok, people. That is the level of stupid that we are dealing with here.

Completely impervious to reason. He was very respectful and logical and she was just impenetrable. I admire his patience, because i would have lost it after about 3 minutes.

[Garrett78]

17. He did an amazing job of being patient and staying on point.

Like not even addressing her remark that Donald Trump of all people seems like "an average Joe."

Sadly, there are tens of millions just like her.

[Le Gaucher]

5. That is reality. When she says Trump 'LOVES' people .. she means White People

Its subconscious..and so obvious to her that Non whites and non Christians aren't people.. they other forms of primates.

She is genuinely shocked that John Fugelsang can't understand that Trump Loves People.


She is your classic racist.


She will be totally fine/ disinterested if GOP gradually bought back slavery.

[Ohioboy]

15. Trump is forgiven!

Ta Da!

[dawg day]

52. He doesn't even love "white people"

He just finds them easier to use.
Really. I don't think he loves anyone but himself. But he has a predator's sense of who he can easily take down, and who he can get to submit to him.

If he wants to get a particular subset of white people support (a significant subset, but not the smart ones <g&gt , he knows how to do that. I'm not sure what it says about "white people" that the strategy is always, "Appeal to their cowardice and vanity at every moment."

[Bettie]

6. He is very patient

but you can't argue with people who have no capacity for rational or logical thought.

[kentuck]

7. One of the best liberal thinkers around.

John Fugelsang.

[mountain grammy]

23. Yes

[CurtEastPoint]

8. On a policy level, why did you vote for him? "He wasn't Hillary Clinton." F'ing idiots.

[qazplm135]

31. we just seriously underestimated

the pure visceral hatred of Hillary Clinton. It's nonsensical, it's not based on anything rational, but clearly, clearly, there was a large group of folks who hated Hillary so much that it drove them to vote for Trump.

[Beartracks]

60. And they weren't all just Republicans either, unfortunately. n/t

[onlyadream]

32. Sadly, this is my mother.

She doesn’t like Trump, but he wasn’t Hilary. When I pressed her on why she hate Hillary so badly, that a good Christian woman like her can look past all of Trump’s failings, she said because of Benghazi. I told her that after forty investigations, if they found something, ANYTHING, she’d be in jail. NOTHING was found. Her hatred is manufactured by Fox “News”.

The conversation turned to how she likes his immigration policies. Showed me a picture of a boat packed full of immigrants. This is why, she proclaimed. I said, what you do to the least of us, you do to me, quoting her favorite guy, Jesus. But, she said, “THEY are changing everything!” Meaning, Muslim immigrants in Europe are changing European counties, which has NOTHING to do with what’s going on on the souther border. When we discuss these things, it always ends with her copping out and ending the talk. She’s done, doesn’t want to be bothered, challenged, educated...

She also believes he’s ushering in the end of the world.

[phylny]

45. I am amazed at "Christians" who think God or Jesus need help

from people on Earth to "end the world."

What a powerless God they believe in.

I say this as a Christian.

[Akacia]

9. Oh My!

There was no reasoning with her, crazy!

[Garrett78]

18. She has a lot of company. And they vote.

[Buns_of_Fire]

22. And, unfortunately, breed. nt

[world wide wally]

10. Not even one thing

[qazplm135]

38. abortion and separation of church and state

those two things are things he is actively "fixing" through his conservative judicial appointments and he is also allowing these folks to express their Christian views more openly and with more exclusivity and state-sanction.

So of course she thinks he's "bringing back Christ."

She feels like her "team" was unpopular before and now it's more popular. She doesn't care about anything else other than being able to "loudly and proudly" say "I'm a Christian" and feel like she can say anything she wants after that.

[Downtown Hound]

11. Brainwashed zombie.

Literally incapable of any thinking beyond what she's been told.

[dameatball]

12. Today's Doonesbury strip mirrors this perfectly.

[FSogol]

42. +1 n/t

[Garrett78]

13. I'm confident that there are tens of millions just like her. It's scary.

[Ohioboy]

14. Obama took away her child's insurance for a pre-existing condition??????

You know her brainwashing is complete as soon as she tries to argue that Obama took away her child's insurance for a pre-existing condition (starting around the 2:15 time mark).

The fact that someone can become this brainwashed is scary.

[Beartracks]

61. Was that before or after he allowed 9-11 to happen?

=======

[PatSeg]

16. He was very impressive

and remarkably patient.

[JDC]

19. Jeezus H. What a dumbass. In a nutshell.

[LakeArenal]

20. Just like talking to every other neighbor in WI

‘Crept I find them much less patient than that woman. Vindictive even. Scary even.

[Leith]

21. She Never Said How tRump Brought Christ Back to the Nation

Besides him "loving people," she never even tried.

The caller was incredibly stupid, but polite. Too many of her fellow brainwashees are not polite or even willing to discuss the topic.

[mountain grammy]

24. I listen to his show nearly every day

He has wonderful guests (Tina Dupuy excepted) and callers. 13 minutes with this faker, and yes that’s what she is, was too much.. she lied throughout, while all other callers held on. Reminds me of America.. the radical right wingers have the floor. The rest of us are “on hold.”

[nolabear]

34. I listen to it as much as I can too. He's one of my heroes.

John’s ability to stand his ground without shaming people and without condemning them is one of the best I’ve ever seen. He can argue for MY kind of Christianity (atheist that I am) beautifully.

And as a retired shrink I’m so fascinated by the cognitive dissonance people display when something they desperately want to hold onto is proven false. They (we-everyone is capable of it) simply lose the ability to think. They can spin, they can get emotional, they can do all kinds of things but they can’t think or be reasoned with. That asshole in the WH is good at installing that unreasonable attachment to him in some people.

[mountain grammy]

36. He does have a wonderful show.

Love Kenneth Davis and Barry Lynn and all the women co hosts like Carmen and Rhonda, etc.. and, of course, Frank. He has some great guests.
John alone is worth my Sirius subscription, but there's so much more.

That caller was playing him, She was coached. Very aggravating.

[nolabear]

41. I don't think so, but maybe.

He made one mistake and she took off with it. He commented that undocumented immigrants weren’t taking jobs she would compete for. Then she got to play a big, and maybe just, sympathy card, saying she worked many low paying jobs to support her chronically ill child. They never managed to go far down the road of what harm 45’s policies were likely to do that child.

If she was coached it wasn’t very well.

[mountain grammy]

59. She reminded me of my sister in law

Who claims to be completely non political and a super Christian. You know, God ‘s got this and she just couldn’t see how Obama was a Christian. Blah blah. And she NEVER watches Fox News but never missed Bill O’Reilly or the friends.. yeah I’ve heard all this before. The woman’s a fraud even though she doesn’t know it.

[packman]

25. Thanks for posting the link to the audio

People need to hear the convolutions and the tortured logic of a Trump cultist.

[rurallib]

26. She sounded pretty young

I get the feeling that most of her views were handed to her by Daddy and then her husband. She never dug any deeper than what she was told - such as her comment about Obama and health care.

I hope Fugelsang cracked her wall of ignorance. Once it cracks she will start asking questions. Someday she may one really mad woman when she realizes everyone she trusted was lying to her.

[Mariana]

33. Her daddy, her husband, and her preacher.

[mucifer]

27. So depressing that so many deplorables can't hear logic.

[northoftheborder]

28. A Delusional Deplorable live; too sad to comment upon

[bitterross]

29. Uninformed, non-questioning, authoritarian. 45 Cult is made for Christians like her.

She is what we are up against. The people who are uninformed, misled by FOX News and 45's tweets.

Having been brought up as the same sort of Christian as her I can tell you she was raised to believe, without question, those in authority. All of her "authority" sources are telling her 45 is a good, Christian man. It would be psychologically painful for her to have to admit she is so wrong about so much.

[Garrett78]

40. Bingo.

"It would be psychologically painful for her to have to admit she is so wrong about so much."

My dad sends email after email after email that is full of lies or, at best, misleading statements. The sort of stuff that keeps sites like Snopes in business. These emails covering a wide array of topics, sent over the course of many years, constitute the foundation of right wing ideology. And they've been proven false. Therefore, his ideology is false. I've made this point, yet the emails keep coming. I conclude that it would be unbearably painful for my 82-year-old dad to acknowledge that his entire ideology is rooted in lies and bigotry, that what he's believed for so long could be so wrong.

That he was an Eisenhower Republican makes it all the more frustrating. I think he's subconsciously aware of how much his party has changed, but the propaganda (of Fox News, Pat Robertson, etc.) and the cognitive dissonance has taken hold.

[Upthevibe]

30. That went pretty much how one would expect it to go.....

I love John Fugelsang...

[theaocp]

35. I call fraud.

While I can’t prove it, I defy that she doesn’t watch faux news and isn’t on fb. Pile of shite, I say. And remember how many times she said what was happening was no big deal because IT WASN'T HAPPENING TO HER. Full fucking stop. THIS is what we’re up against. 45's supporters overwhelmingly don’t give a fuck because what’s going down is happening to SOMEONE ELSE. I have a certain set of verses available from the time of the previous Nazis, in case these dumbasses care to get educated.

[theaocp]

37. To add...

When she said she didn’t watch/read faux and fb, she added that she did "research". Uh-huh. I wish the gang in the control room had asked her where she did her "research". Be cordial, if you must, but nail these invertebrates down with their own words. Christ.

[Garrett78]

44. I bet she's not being completely truthful, but...

I would expect an avid viewer of Faux News to have more talking points. She just came across as an idiot who was regurgitating nonsense she's heard from birds of a feather.

[Sophia4]

39. Great interview.

The Trump supporter confirms my opinion that Trump supporters don't know what they are talking about. Sublime ignorance. She loved showing off her groundless devotion.

Has anyone ever read a play by Ionesco? Maybe Rhinoceros?

There is no logical connection between the interviewee's answers and the questions asked of her. She doesn't think things through. She just repeats slogans she has heard. She did not mention one teaching of Jesus that Trump carries out. Not one.

Trump does not love everyone. Not by any means. Maybe Obama came close to loving everyone, but Trump sure doesn't.

[lambchopp59]

43. Purely emotional appeal from the caller, zero intellect, zero facts

Yet I'd bet on this blind supporter to utilize the term "low information voter" describing others. Suspect far more Fox and Limbaugh consumption than she admits. Even though she admits repeatedly to being politically uninformed.
Just how to shake cult members from their confabulations? Especially when they actually believe democrats and highly educated folks are the ones who have consumed the "Kool Aid".
I don't lay claim to know all the facts about our politicians either, but I sure as hell can tell when a politician or pundit is pissing on my leg and telling me it's raining.

[Quixote1818]

46. I have always felt Fugelsang should be a leading spokesperson for the Democratic Party because

he is one of the most eloquent, quick thinking, kind, smart etc. speakers out there.

[Garrett78]

47. Maybe he's who should be hired by the DNC to give a daily press conference...

...to address all Trump lies over the previous 24 hours, something I've suggested be done. These Orwellian times call for extraordinary measures.

[Quixote1818]

48. I think that would be a wonderful idea! nt

[Ilsa]

54. I agree. He reveals the truth without beating up on people.

Repubs think you have to be aggressive and bullying to control the narrative. JF proves it isn't necessary to be disrespectful.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

49. In other words "I'm a stupid motherfucker and I vote." nt

[kimbutgar]

50. Omg she said she is not a feminist

I wish John had asked her if she was ok with working the same job for less pay than a man. And her working hard, why is she calling this show in the middle of the day. Shouldn’t she be at all those jobs she’s working?

Poor Tiffany lied, she watches Fox she’s was just too embrassed to admit it. She used all the fox talking g cult points. But she is what we are up against. She is so far gone there is no logicial argument you can use to cnahge her mind otherwise. Sadly 60 million people believe Twitler, no matter what he says or does. He is the Jim Jones cult leader of today. I’ve been watching that cult series on Monday nights on the ID channel. It is obvious after watching theses episodes that 60 million American Idiots are caught up into this cult.

Idocracy the movie is now a documentary of America.

[Mike Nelson]

51. He loves people?

… he loves himself.

[MarcA]

53. The "working my tail off" victim card.

So she blames the other because of this supposed virtue of
working her tail off, while it is the system increasingly imposed
by the repugs and wealth worshipers that makes "working your
tail off" a losing proposition. Also, why they falsely accuse
those who don't subscribe to this as being "lazy". The hard work
is good and necessary mantra has a long history among the laboring
classes that the owners use to manipulate them.

[Solly Mack]

55. He's a far nicer person than I am.

What an idiot. (the Trumpster)

[drmeow]

56. She can't name a Christian value that Trump has not turned his back on

because she can't name a Christian value, period. To these people, being Christian means believing in God, going to church, giving money to their church, trying to suppressing any carnal urges (although often failing), and doing whatever their church leaders say. Except for the last one, it is all about me, me, me, me, me. Actual values and what Christ said are irrelevant because they interfere with the prosperity gospel and the self-absorbed "being Christian is about what I do for me" belief system.

If Jesus came back today, he would throw all of them out of the churches - of course, they would reject him, too.

I wish I believed in Heaven because I'd love to know that they not going there.

[Mike Nelson]

57. I think...

… she lied when she said she didn't get news from FOX. There was a change in her pace and tone... like she didn't want to be so easily "read" by John. While she was dishonest (and will have to ask Jesus for forgiveness), it's interesting that she knew enough about FOX news to deny them. Also, she was very vague about how she got her news, instead of FOX... because she was being dishonest. When you lie, you have to know follow-up lies.

[SamKnause]

58. They are all diseased !!!
