He finally said what we were all saying this entire time. I hope those stupid people could understand what their stupidity has cost this nation.

    He's said in multiple occasions that he loves the poorly educated. Also, smart people don't like him.

    Directly calling your supporters stupid and they cheer.

    I’m not a great lip reader, but that woman in red on the back left looks like she says “That’s true” right after he says it.

    He’s making fun of you, Barbara.

    TL;DR: Taken out of context, but turd is still a turd.

    I am anti trump as much as any sane person but I'm also anti propaganda. Although I know nobody is immune to it, I believe it's important to note that context matters.

    context matters If you actually listen to it, he's telling the supporters that he's willing to come have a rally in places he's already won because the people are so supportive and there's a lot of love in the community. He then went on to say that he could come out and say the stupidest thing and they'd still cheer him on.

    The context is that he was saying the crowds were supportive and loving, not that they were stupid.

    Idk, I feel like anybody who cheers for a specific person, no matter what they say, refusing to think critically or consider disagreeing, is a fucking moron. Even if he didn't mean to directly call them stupid, he's still indirectly calling them stupid imo.

    The inverse is also true. I don't automatically disagree with everything trump says just because he's a stupid, hateful, narcissistic fascist. I'm glad he discontinued the penny, is against changing clocks for the DST switches twice a year, and the quick rollout of COVID vaccines was a big win. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but it's important to acknowledge good shit even if it comes from a child raping dipshit. I'm not gonna pretend that I like the penny just because an adjudicated rapist dislikes the penny, and I also don't like the pants-shitting fuckface just because we agree that changing clocks is dumb as fuck.

    A lot of people liked Kanye's music, and since coming out as an unapologetic Nazi, a lot of those people are not Kanye fans anymore. Those ex-fans adapted in ways that these forever trumpers are incapable of. Because they're fucking stupid.

    Somehow I don't think it's out of context? Someone who is so supportive and loving to the point of ignoring the most blatant stupidity is a damn right dangerous idiot and a fool, and trump very clearly captured that.

    The "context" doesn't make it better. He's literally telling them point blank that he can say whatever he wants and they'll still cheer and love him. I'll never understand people like you who come up with these ridiculous apologetics for Trump.

    Stop fucking enabling him.

    Mob mentality and groupthink are very powerful. On another note, trump does say the stupidest things.

    Either they're not actually listening to the words or they are listening and it doesn't matter to them.

    I can't decide which is worse.

    I think it's his tone of voice that matters most to his audience, the words go by too quickly for them to process, much like when you speak to a dog.

    Spoiler alert, everything that comes out of your mouth is the stupidest. And I would love it if someone would clap you upside your head.

    I mean, he already does. They're idiots, they'll clap for anything said by anyone as long as they know someone they irrationally hate will suffer.

    Sometimes I think he hates his supporters more than progressives, leftists, unionists, and bipoc people.

    I don't know if that's certifiable, but my gosh does he DESPISE his own people.

    "could"

    The actual challenge: is he able to say anything that isn't the stupidest thing?

  • source
  • [–] 10 points 1 week ago (4 children)

    Just like the time he said "I don't care about you, I only care about your vote."

    They are hopeless. Beyond fucking stupid. And what's funny is Dump knows it. He knows no intelligent person likes him--- and that pisses him off because he really wants their respect.

    Ha ha loser.
