'We're the outcasts of the country': Conservatives attending Kentucky rally whine about Trump's loss

https://www.rawstory.com/trumps-big-lie-2654996339/


Attendees at a sparsely-attended pro-Donald Trump rally in Morning View, Kentucky expressed dismay that the former president lost the 2020 election -- with many saying it was stolen -- and now claim they feel like "outcasts" in their own country.

-snip-

"We're the outcasts of the country these days," explained 57-year-old Bill Albright as he and his girlfriend, Kathi Brinegar, waved flags that read, "2020 was rigged", "Unmasked, unmuzzled, unvaccinated, unafraid," and "Joe Biden sucks."

Another attendee, Dwayne Turner, 51, of Goshen, admitted he was in Washington D.C, for the "Stop the Steal" rally where he claims he was providing security.

"I was right on the steps," Turner said of the Capitol insurrection. "They made it out more than what it really was. The mainstream media has made it out to be an insurrection, to me it was a few people who were pissed off."

They're the minority who won't compromise with the majority. They're the ones who won't integrate.

We had our Comic-Com in Lexington, which draws over 25 thousand. Also the parade of horses, which draw thousands to Georgetown.

Hate fest can’t compete with actual fun stuff.

Compared to liberals and those who don't really care one way or another, but really dislike radicals.
Conservatives are 20% more or less of the country. That means they're a minority, not "outcasts".
What makes them outcasts is their bullying attitude and anti-social behavior.

Their beliefs and behavior have been deemed unacceptable and uncivilized by the rest of society, so in a sense they are "outcasts". This will happen when you go against civility and the basic principles that most citizens live by - they will reject you. It is one way that civilized societies survive.

And then whine that everyone ignores them.

Shouldn’t the “sparsely-attended” nature of their rally clue them in to the fact that Trump didn’t get enough votes to win? They seem to have trouble understanding counting.

and I didn't know about it until yesterday. It may play a part in such a dismal turnout.

All I needed to see was the name Eric Deters as the facilitator of this event. This clown is a piece of work. He is listed as a 'retired' attorney. This may be because he keeps getting his law license suspended in Kentucky and Ohio because of various infractions. It doesn't preclude him from giving out legal advise which is a no no.

Yes, I can't believe one of them told the truth - they are the pariahs, the outcasts of the country, Truly! They are the murderous fuckers who are killing everyone and everything good, including themselves, their families and friends. They have stopped our forward progress with their suicidal lunacy. They are the problem with our country and they need to stop being fools or just let karma take action - and hopefully quickly.
