    Default Trump Supporters Have NO Self-Respect ...

    They don’t care if they’re lied to, because they’ve abandoned the idea that they are owed the truth.

    They don’t care if they’re cheated out of their hard-earned money by way of tax scams that benefit the wealthy, because they don’t value their own worth.

    They don’t care that they are expected to abandon the tenets of their religious beliefs, because they see themselves as unworthy of adhering to their own long-held principles.

    They don’t care if their “pResident” pulls statistics out of his ass and fabricates “facts” that have no basis in reality, because they accept the idea that they are too stupid to understand anything beyond what they are told to believe.

    They don’t care if children are torn from their parents at the border, because people of far more intelligence than they are capable of have decreed such actions as necessary.

    They don’t care if their “pResident” does things they once found abhorrent, because they believe their opinions are not worthy of respect.

    They don’t care if their livelihoods disappear as a result of their “pResident’s” policies, because they don’t see themselves as worthy of being able to feed their families, pay their bills, or hope for a better life.

    Trump has done more than rob citizens of their rights and freedoms. He has convinced them that they have no right to expect a place at the table, a voice deserving to be heard, or a chance to realize the American Dream. And his supporters have accepted all of this without question, because they have allowed themselves to be cast in the role of being too dumb, too uneducated, too lowly to challenge the Great Oz who hides behind the curtain of an office he was never legitimately elected to hold.

    Trump supporters are the battered wives of our country. They have been convinced of their own inability to survive without their abuser’s say-so. They have accepted their own inability to change their fate. They have accepted the idea that there is no other recourse than to submit to the abuse and hope that things will somehow get better – all the while knowing, deep down inside, that they won’t.

    This is what we’re up against – not convincing people that their “pResident” is a lying idiot who doesn’t give a flying fuck about them, but convincing them to reclaim their own self-respect.

    If you believe you are unworthy of respect, no respect will be given you. If you believe you are somehow deserving of being beaten into submission, the beatings will continue. If you believe you are too stupid, too weak, too unworthy of speaking up against your abuser, you are seeing yourself through his eyes, instead of your own. And in the doing, you are empowering him.

    There can be no compromise with those who have relinquished their own responsibilities as citizens. There can be no negotiation with those who have accepted the idea that they have no right to negotiate anything. There can be no meeting-of-the-minds with those who have been persuaded that their minds are inferior to those who hold office.

    Simply put, until Trump supporters develop the necessary fortitude to reclaim their own self-respect, they are victims of their own lack thereof.

    What we are currently living with is the consequence of people who have no respect for themselves trying to convince the rest of us that a lack of self-respect is somehow superior to demanding respect for ourselves and our fellow citizens.

    And that lack of self-respect will, in the end, be their ultimate undoing.

    Of course no link. And obviously RG did not write it. Too long and too many syllables.

    Trumpers are weak-minded, immoral, selfish human beings.

    Default plus Fox & Friends host admitts he has urine, sperm and last nights meal on hands

    On Donald Trump's favorite television program Fox & Friends, co-host Pete Hegseth passed a little morning-banter time by, apparently, attempting to gross out his fellow television personalities.

    “My 2019 resolution is to say things on air that I say off air... I don’t think I’ve washed my hands for 10 years. Really, I don’t really wash my hands ever,” [...]

    “I inoculate myself. Germs are not a real thing. I can’t see them. Therefore they’re not real,”

    That is an understatement
    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.


    “If Hamas put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons, there would be no Israel."

    They can't have any self respect. They voted for a dunce to lead them, and they did it on purpose.
    Fucking losers. Losing is a choice, and they doubled down on personal failure.

    Yet its left wing radical Bolshevik jealous socialists that post about the feelings of those they hate. The "ID" is a powerful deterrent to propaganda.

    ID: Primitive instincts underlying all psychic activity residing in the unconscious mind.


    Propaganda: Messages used by Despots disseminated to a populous in order to spread MISINFORMATION

    Example: Joseph Goebbels
