Keep waiting, milquetoasts.

They're wired to never admit error.

"You MADE me do it" is the abuser's mentality and just another way for the "Party of Personal Responsibility" to never take any.

Is making the victim the perpetrator.

So, years of republicans losing their shit about Hillary is because "she is divisive" which is what the "liberal media" dutifully parrots.

It's a good for being a conservative. You can be mean and hateful and it's the fault of the people you hate.

America falls for it hook, line and sinker because we have far too many people who identify with the unbridled Capitalist predator.

This mess is so frustrating! It's infuriating to know that no matter how bad it gets, how much he screws up, how corrupt he is, his followers will never see the truth. They are completely brainwashed and blinded by hate.

Your outrage at my pointing out YOUR error has nothing to do with any perceived support of Trump voters.
I guess ironic humor is verboten around here, according to you...are you the Tony Scaramucci of DU?

in an effort to express disapproval regarding criticism of the critical thinking skills and worldliness of Tr*mp supporters.

though, in reading my original post here again, I note that you really missed a chance to note that the use of the word "prevalent" was improper syntax, as that construction implied that vast swaths of the country were prevalent amongst uneducated white men, which is nonsensical. Complete garbage sentence on my part, left the door open for you to note objectively bad writing.

That very well might have actually stung a bit.

You'll do better next time, I'm sure.

If they suffer too, that's okay, just so long as we suffered as well. Take down our institutions? Terrific! Tarnish our standing in the world? What could be better! Marginalize minorities and those of color? The Alt-right goes wild!

DEPLORABLES ARE THE DEFINITION OF VINDICTIVE.

Invading alien armada was launched towards Earth in 2003 - during Clinton Administration! - so it's Obama'a fault that Trump had to deal with them.

In my opinion, here is the sad reality of all this... Nothing is going to happen to him. Complacency will again fuck up the 2018 elections, Fuckump and his band of cretins will skate through EVERY Russian investigation, not by being innocent, but by using the power to veto, fire, replace, etc. Watch closely this next few weeks... my predictions:

1. Session will be replaced with someone who will get on his knees - Mr. 911 himself Giuliani comes to mind.

2. Once Sessions is gone, Mueller will be fired by the new AG, and a (favorable) independent council will be enacted....

3. Democrats will sit on their asses and talk a great game. " we are not in favor of this", "this is not good for the country", etc, etc, etc

If you really analyze the Fuckump voter, they are looking for the best set of lies to live by. Fuckump has told the best set of lies. Time for the democrats to quit being the party of wimps and wussies and start kicking some shit.

Im not holding my breath, because this party has no one who can stand up to the Right winged shitstorm.... Shumer? Pelosi? Sanders? pssssh nope Clinton? nope.... sorry Fellow dems, but we are in for another decade of right wing control. One hope is the controllers now are old and will die soon...
