MAGATs are so flippin' stupid!

Vaughan Hillyard on MSNBC was interviewing a Dump voter in Iowa.

About the report: "Well, you're gonna hear biased opinions on both sides."

On Dump post-report: "Well, he's done everything he said he was gonna do."

AGGGHHH!!!!

As they say, "doesn't matter if he's an SOB, he is our SOB."

As long as enough voters think this way, he is protected.

or at least enough to warrant impeachment. "Time to move on," seems common. It reminds me of some interviews of ignorant white wingers I saw a few months ago where the consensus was: "I don't care what he had to do to get elected, just glad trump is our Prez." That is tough to overcome.

excusing away the Mueller report, spouting what they heard on Faux yesterday.

Just more evidence that we give Iowa and the other small-population red states WAY too much influence in our presidential politics.

They don't care if he is a criminal! They don't care if he is a fraud! They don't care if he sending our country down the shitter! All they care about is: a. Brown/black people are bad b. Democrats are stupid (even though the majority of people with college degrees vote blue) c. They are marginalized white people who are being oppressed by a and b (And the lgbtq community of course) d. Abortion e. Fake Christianity
Until today I thought some of them were reachable. I honestly do not believe that at this point in time.

He simply knew that saying he still supports Trump because they hate the same people (& he wants to be a billionaire, too) would sound bad.
