George Takei
@GeorgeTakei
Donald.
You dont win suburban women votes by calling them housewives.
You dont win Asian American votes by calling it the kung flu.
You dont win veteran votes by letting Putin pay to kill our soldiers.
Your base is a dead horse you keep beating.

Some of his base may have an actual glimmer that Trump lies to them and generally screws them over, but they just can't let go of that sweet, sweet racism and hate.
It doesn't matter if he takes away their Social Security, lets Putin put hits out on our troops, and does nothing about the disease that kills their grandma, as long as he keeps making it OK for them to hate Mexicans, Muslims, African-Americans, Asians, the LGBTQ community, and women.

Sweet Gussies Ghost, I had to deal with that, with my mother, til she quit this mortal coil. And it taught me one really useful lesson:
Nobody wants to admit they were wrong. And even worse, that theyve been had.
