Trump cultists must ask themselves this. Why do a bit more than half of their neighbors want him gone? And if the numbers game is to have validity, how to account for the fact that a majority is on board with removal?

Are they so inculcated into the cult as to think that even one opinion of theirs outweighs that of millions?

What kind of answer are you expecting when they ask themselves that question?


If someone actually them asked that question, I am pretty sure the list of answers would include:

Those people hate America and are trying to destroy it.
They’re unhappy about Killary; they are sore losers trying to overturn an election.
Those folks want to take my guns, eff ‘em.
Those folks are just takers who live off the taxes I pay
They’re sheeple who have been brainwashed by the liberal MSM.
They’re just cucks who pee themselves when they see a true alpha like Donald J. Trump.

These unprovoked, senseless attacks on @realDonaldTrump's supporters need to end. I want to echo the @DuvalGOP in saying: We will not be silenced by cowards, and these disgusting acts will only make us work harder to win November. https://twitter.com/duvalgop/status/1226273637214408705?s=21

I have no idea what she is talking about, do you?

Standing ovation for Trump as he’s introduced at the National Prayer Breakfast. Even Nancy Pelosi stands and applauds. Trump uses the platform to renew his complaints about impeachment. Calls Dems involved corrupt and Republicans courageous.

Why bother retweeting this? It doesn't even suck up to Trump. Can't he tell? In fact IMO there's a small hint of negativity there.

Even if people like Trump, doesn't his ceaseless complaining ever get old?

Er, no. That is a feature of Trumpists. If Trump said it, it's good. And whatever he said, punishes liberals. Whom they hate.

In his mind as the chosen one, no, he probably can't tell.

I reject the premise. Most Trump supporters live in areas where all of their neighbours are also Trump supporters.

In the run up to the Brexit referendum, almost everybody I knew was against leaving. My social media streams were also full of stuff about why leaving was a bad idea. If the referendum had been conducted on the basis of "what people who came into contact with JeremyP thought", the result would have been about 90% against leaving. And yet, it turns out I was living in a bubble.

The same is true of Trump supporters (and Trump haters).

One guy drove into one tent or something. Missed all the Trumpers in it apparently.

The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon in the Kernan Village Shopping Center in eastern Jacksonville, Florida, when a man, later identified by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office as 27-year-old Gregory Timm, allegedly drove a van through a tent where people were working to register voters. The driver narrowly missed several people in the tent and fled the scene after the incident by car.

Twitter link with pics of the scene, here

He's being charged with 'aggravated assault on a person 65 years or older' and some other more minor things.
Seems to me that if you were trying to run over a group of 65-year-olds with your car, you'd probably be able to hit them. Either way, it's really, really not okay to put people in danger like this. Extremely stupid on his part and he will rightly have to face whatever punishment he gets.

Yes, Republicans are making a meal of it, just as any political party would. No doubt trump will reference this in his rallies along with the Steve Scalise incident from 2017 to continue demonising Democrats.

Will be in Manchester, New Hampshire, tonight for a big Rally. Want to shake up the Dems a little bit - they have a really boring deal going on. Still waiting for the Iowa results, votes were fried. Big crowds in Manchester!

Hope the Fake News, which never discusses it, is talking about the big crowds forming for my New Hampshire Rally tonight. They won’t!
 
The chairman of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) said in a recent interview that he would “actually be afraid” for Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-Utah) “physical safety” if he were to attend the gathering later this month.

Is that a threat, an indication of how low things have sunk under Trump or has it always been that bad?

Either way it's a sad moment in American politics.

I don't think things will improve in the short term.
