I don’t get how this guy still has support when his whole base was for releasing the files and he said he would. Now he’s going to pardon his accomplice?
Easy - his base is made up of entirely stupid and selfish people who have no firm principles whatsoever. They’ll believe whatever he tells them to as long as they’re still allowed to hurt the people they enjoy hurting.
Was going to reply to this post with something like this, but you said it better than I could have. It doesn’t matter what lie he tells them, or how obvious it is, they’ll eat it up because at this point they pretty much have to. Because they’re in so deep at this point that getting out would completely destroy them.
They do have principles … religious principles … fundamental Christian principles
One of the core beliefs of this new fundamental Christianity is in the idea of “God’s Plan”
The idea that any Christian person can do unChristain things and even act immorally and if God doesn’t stop them, doesn’t punish them or show any sign that God disagrees, then it means that God allows it because it’s part of his plan.
It’s a really fucked up, cult like, dangerous mentality that they’ve cornered themselves into.
Amen ✝️🙏
By telling his base to eat shit and pretend it’s chocolate, to which his base will enthusiastically eat and pretend it’s chocolate.
This is MAGA we’re talking about - their orange god can do no wrong.
Ever remind yourself that the person they chose to forgive infinitely is Donald Trump? A billionaire prick who would be normally contemptible even before we knew he cheated numerous contractors out of money. And even before [list of 296 other objectively fucked up things].
Imagine if someone this evil were also (surface level) likable and highly intelligent. There truly would be no limit to what they’d get away with.
Imagine if he liked dogs, art, and his own mother.
I do feel like the universe seems to have a built-in control that you can’t be successful, evil and universally likeable.
“It’s a Democrat hoax. It’s not real. There are 5 lights. The Democrats made me do it. The FAR LEFT are the real pedos. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

The cardassian was trying to get Picard to doubt himself and say there were 5 lights
As I was writing it I knew it felt wrong lol thanks for the correction!
The fucked up part is I can’t tell if that’s fake or not without looking into it… but I think deep down I know the answer and it’s gross.
Don’t be real… Please??
The other day I saw interesting interview comparing Trump to Mega Church pastor. Their pastors preach hate and demand money from their poor bases to fund their luxurious life styles. Trump resonates with MAGA because it’s the exact type of abuse they are used to. They train their entire lives to deal with this cognitive dissonance, their are not going to stop just because Trump pardons a pedophile.
Many maga and qanon supporting Trump said democrats run an illegal pedo ring (pizzagate for example) and they were strongly against pedophilia. Now it turns out many of them were pesos themselves, as many have been convicted for child porn or sexual child abuse. So if you’re a corrupt pedo president with a pedo conspiracy loonie fan base, nothing has to make sense, you just do it and say it’s the best thing and your opponents are the bad guys. It’s like having a discussion with a flat earther or a Christian. Nothing they say makes sense and everything you say will just make them mad. Anything their leader will say will be followed blindly and fully supported. Even if it’s the most evil thing there is.
Amen buddy
He won’t have to and the magats will love him for “stickin it to the libs”
Cultists don’t have opinions of their own. They just live in an endless “now” where their leader is always right.
How can anyone listen to Trump for five seconds and not think of a sleazy, used car salesman? It’s like seeing through an obvious magic trick while everyone around you is going “whoa!” and thinking, “wtf is wrong with you guys?”
I’m going to keep trotting this phrase out: some of y’all never been in a cult and it shows.
Listen to the stories from people who left Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses (where I was), and various evangelical groups. Some of whom were extremely devout before. Doubts do creep in. It might take several years to work out (and the US does not have several years to solve its fascism problem), but it does happen.
Genetically Modified Skeptic, Telltale Atheist, and JW Thoughts are all examples on YouTube.
Stop attacking this woman! She was a VICTIM of that evil demoncrat Biden and the deep state. They SET HER UP to hide the real pedophiles!! Clinton was seen with little girls I heard!!
“That young woman, I forgive her” looks up
Hair sniffing too or something!
MAGA will accept anything jammed down their throats, even DJT’s dick.
She learned her lesson. Now she legally has to give you a sex slave free of charge. That’s her punishment!
I’m sure the anchors at Fox will think of something
He’ll just make up some bullshit excuse, and they’ll twist themselves into pretzels in order to swallow it. Just like they always do.
Some will. Some won’t. The reality is that this is fracturing his base. That doesn’t mean his support is collapsing, but it is eroding. When you’re seeing people like Marjorie Taylor Greene openly turn against him, you know it’s serious.
But for the most part the ones who turn away from him won’t be loud about it. You won’t see them publicly recant, you won’t see them admit they were wrong. They’ll just get real quiet. And some of them might still vote Republican, but they won’t be as obsessive about it. They won’t be driving down to the capitol to risk getting arrested for him when he calls for it.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking that none of this matters. It does. It just doesn’t look as exciting as we’d like it to.
If they still vote for him and his people, then none of it matters and they implicitly condone the actions
Until they stop voting for people who follow him without question, nothing will change
