My sister's a Trumpanzee, I work with a Trumpanzee

[thegoose]

They get even more excited when the orange monster's new crimes are revealed.

I don't understand...

[hatrack]

1. 'Cuz he's Owning The Libtards, silly!!

It's the only thing the cult members care about, and it's the only guiding principle of this "administration".

[rufus dog]

3. And this isn't new

These fucking people got off on Newt going after Clinton, the Contract for America, (when once the fucking pukes won he stated, we said we would bring items up for vote, not actually vote for them. AND THEN HE DIDN'T EVEN BRING MOST UP FOR VOTE!!!)

They learned they can get away with all types of hypocrisy as long as they piss off the libs.

[Ferrets are Cool]

18. This

[lunatica]

2. To them it's probably a reaction to YOUR reaction to the latest Trump news

They are filled with the fools glee of political gotcha. Fools glee because they’re so busy laughing at the Trump knife in your back that they don’t see the one in their back.

[thegoose]

4. I never let it show

When they talk about Dump, I remain completely expressionless.

[lunatica]

5. They know.

If you showed even a small measure of pleasure when Trump does his shit you might fool them. But somehow I doubt you do that.

[kentuck]

6. Stupid can't be fixed.

Don't waste your time.

[Karadeniz]

7. My deepest sympathies! Do they claim to be Christians? If so, a brief citation from Jesus's

Teachings should give them something to compare Trump to.

[sakabatou]

8. Ever asked them "What if Obama did the same thing Trump's doing now?"

[Baconator]

24. That's a feature and not a bug...

9. One of my cousins, trump supporter got real upset

He always tries to taunt me about how great trump is doing. He even showed up at my house with a friend wearing a MAGA hat. I didn't even blink and found out today that the poor guy suffered a stroke yesterday. About 2 weeks ago, when we were together at his mom's house, he didn't say anything about trump, so I asked how he liked our 'traitor in chief' and he blew a gasket on me .... the stress is beginning to show among trumpanzee's. They can't defend the trump anymore!

11. Maybe with the stroke, he will come face to face with the realities

of our healthcare system. My dad eventually died from a series of strokes, once a person has one the chance for having several is large.

[Celerity]

10. they live out their hate and racism vicariously through Trump

He is the most powerful person in the world atm and they think that elevates them as well and validates all the socio-psycho pathologies they share with him, gives their shitty little lives meaning.

[demgrrrll]

12. Someone wrote they would be happy to live under a bridge with a stick and a sparrow to roast as long

as you did not have a stick.

[Beartracks]

13. If it upsets Democrats, then nothing else matters. Never mind that...

... Democrats could be upset about treasonous acts simply because they are wrong, not because the traitor is a Republican.

=========

[Maraya1969]

14. Because he gets away with everything and they think that means he is great!

[Joe941]

20. +1

15. You can't fix magical thinkers, they have to hit bottom like addicts.

[Peace06]

16. Sister

I feel for you! My sister finally came to her senses,and now she hates him. But it is so hard to love a trumpanzee! My brother is still supporting him, but without much fervor! Hang in there! Hope they see the light soon.

[Initech]

17. It's like they live in bizarro world.

Up is down, black is white, abusers are the abused, the other side are the racists and hatemongers, it's insane.

[ArtTownsend]

19. It's a fucking cult.

Goddamn them all.

[salin]

21. The power of indoctrination through extreme propoganda.

Two points - first about the "more excited" point that you make. The second about the bigger picture.

Point one:

I don't think they are excited about the horrific acts, but that instead they buy into the emphatic denials that cast opponents as the most evil (media, democrats, deepstate) people ever.

For those who are immersed in the rw media - or are subject to the "faith based" indoctrination (that is from the pulpit merging the pro trump/gop message with one of sanctioned by god) - they read these things as "verification"of their beliefs. Not from the incidents, but from the propaganda responses.

Point two:

Do know that there are many who do not pay that much attention to the news (the story, or the propaganda response) - who, over time, get the overall sense that things are really wrong. Think of the trump voters as a tapestry - and for 2 years - there has been fraying on the edges = less support. Those are the voters that are not in the above described group(s). Given the tiny margins for trump in 2016 - that margin of they fraying edges of his "coalition" is significant. If he had one by a landslide, the entrenched nature of a large chunk of his supporters should be a serious concern.

The "Blue Wave of 2018" - is still in effect/per sentiments towards Trump and his enabling GOP. Maybe some of those voters will be "scared" by the propaganda and revert to red/Trump voting. However, those votes are unlikely to outnumber new voters (youngsters coming of age, and millenials who have been of age - but are now being activated to vote.)

22. Try laughing, see if that shuts them up

I know Chump HATES to be laughed at, but I'm not sure whether it extends to the ChumpHumpers.

[NCLefty]

23. If you can't be rid of them, just smile and nod; You will be a genius in the long run. :)

I really do believe this.

Don't argue. It's not worth it (if you can't get rid of them).
