There can be no argument. This is cult. They don't support him. They worship him

I think it might be a Q thing. It’s a cult.

Imagine being an adult and being brain washed by Donald Trump. Sad life.

This is what I don't get. Why him?

He's not good looking. He has zero charisma. He's not smart. He has nothing interesting to say, in fact he speaks in nonsense. Literal nonsense. Like will speak endlessly with no discernible point or reason. He doesn't actually have any money. Everything he is is debt and leverage. I don't see how anyone who interacts with him, or sees him speak, can't immediately conclude that he is an obvious buffoon.

How is this person an attractive leader for you? I just don't get it. I actually don't understand how he wasn't been taken out by some crime lord years ago when he stiffed the wrong firm for payment.

I think that Breitbart/Bannon are the big issue here. Trump is just a messaging target for Bannon et al that was willing to go along with anything to stroke the ego and stay "important".



To me, Bannon is just ######ing dangerous and should be put down.

A guy preaching to people about what bad things have and will happen if they don't believe what he says while music plays in the background and people with their hands in the air sway back and forth.

Hm, where have I seen that before.

Celebrity worship. Being famous before being in politics has carried him. Not saying that other countries don't have that, but it is some next #### in the U.S.

Yup. I mean people are free to organize themselves into groups by whatever belief structure they like, just don't get offended when others point it out.

Those stunts with sending people to Martha's Vineyard are just repugnant.

So condescending that the authorities told the refugees that there was a surprise for them. It's such a seemingly random place to send these people to. I guess it being in a blue state was one of the criteria for the geniuses from that party. I saw a video that the people of Martha's Vineyard managed this surprise quite well regardless, setting the arrivals with beds and meals. Hannity disagrees though, saying Martha's Vineyard is descending into madness...
