Trump Voters Unfazed By POTUS Potentially Shooting Someone: ‘Why Did He Shoot Him?’ | Talking Points Memo

Instant search for an excuse on his behalf, coupled with willingness to believe any excuse given because confirmation bias. The psychology of these people would be fascinating if it wasn’t so horrifyingly damaging.

(He actually shoots someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue)

Donald Trump: “It was a ‘perfect’ headshot!”

Jim Jordan: “The White House released an interpretive-dance version of the incident that exonerates the President!”

Lindsey Graham: “The NYPD’s sham murder investigation isn’t transparent!”

Chuck Todd: “I see we’re out of time, so we’ll just have to leave it there.”

Trump long ago locked up the idiot vote.

These people worship TRUMP.

When he is removed, people like McConnell, Pence, Barr, Giuliani, etc. will not satisfy them. They are having fun right now and if they were so inclined to read our posts, they would revel in most of them.

Especially the Gloomy Gus posts.

But, like I said, when Trump goes…the mojo goes…they have not been paid so much attention to as now in their entire lives

ETA…Oh…and by the way, this is a perfect CNN story the morning after one of the best Democratic nights in many moons.

“Boys…let’s get some Gloomy Gus stuff out there…This story we’re gonna run about these so-called “swing voters” is a Perfect One for a day like this.”

Personally, I’d like to test this theory. Lindsay Graham, step over here please. Okay Mr President, go ahead.

Yup. Good example. I’m also thinking a lot about his immigration policies.

“Well, what if he shot you, or your children, would you still vote for him?”

“Depends on why he shot me or my kids. What did we do? Maybe we deserved to be shot.”

“What if it was for calling him fat or stupid, would that justify his shooting you or your kids?”

“Yes, I believe so, because by insulting and lying about him, we’d be undermining his reputation and making it harder for him to do his job, which is to make America great again.”

These people are, for the most part, congenitally and irredeemably stupid. They need to breed themselves out, by mating with their intellectual equals, like wart hogs and dung beetles.

Why does the MSM insist on putting these morons on TV. We now that they are there and they are beyond stupid. In fact they are too stupid they don’t know they are stupid. Leave these people alone. They deserve each other. I know. I have one in my family.

I see CNN’s famed “swing voters” are on display again. Whomever vets their panels is about as good at vetting as Trump is.

Also, if anyone ever wanted to see a cult member, this is one.

Tired of hearing from these people. At a fundamental level they prefer living under an autocrat who throws the rule of law out the window. It depends on why he shot the person? What an insanely stupid response. Democracy is slow and messy and these folks would rather watch Reality TV than participate in Democracy.
