114. He and his base.....

are totally immune to the truth. Maybe 'allergic' would be a better word. Anyway, no amount of truth has put a dent in their obnoxious stubbornness to see Trump as he actually is, and I doubt it ever will. They are totally invested in Trump, his racism, xenophobia and hate. It's a cult, and you can never persuade cult members that their messiah is a total sham.

Welcome to Democratic Underground, Manastash! This is a great place to learn the truth about power, and to add your two cents to the conversation whenever the mood strikes you.
