The best thing to come out of Trump's rally yesterday:

In his speech, he managed to convince his supporters to be pro-vaccination. And it only took reverse psychology. In previous speeches he told them that vaccines work, and he got boo'ed. But this time he said that the vaccine was being withheld from them because they're white. That's what he said. Suddenly, his supporters were upset that they can't get the vaccinations.

And, as for not getting treatment, truthfully, the unvaccinated are taking more than their fair share of hospital beds. Which means, that the Cro-Magas are not being discriminated. Quite the opposite.

It's not about the facts. It's about knowing how to motivate them.

And that is going to affect the GOP's success in the elections.

But, putting that aside, I want to believe that the media can expose this twist in his logic to show what a lunatic he is.

And you know those three black supporters were strategically placed behind him.

Bashing and blaming Pres. Biden, VP Harris and the Democratic Party (except those two WV and Az senators) is their dutiful quest. Damn the threats from all things GQP.

Trump said that they could not get the vaccines because they are white? Wow!

They then changed their minds and wanted to get vaccinated?

That is not a good thing to come out of his rally after all. Talk about indoctrination and enslavement to a man-god?

or we're all in a world of hurt. If nothing else, that's how long it will take for the DOJ to make their case on the Insurrection, and hopefully, we'll get more Democratic Senators in office (think Val Demmings) to offset Sinema and Manchin.

I honestly don't see most of these assholes running out and getting vaccinated because Dear Leader is claiming that only minorities are being allowed the vaccine. I'm sure they're just so confused at this point, they'll all throw up their hands and just keep going as they are.

they will not get jabs nor wear masks. A good friend of the family is now in the ICU at Veteran's hospital on the ventilator clinging to life, I wonder what he is thinking now because he was adamant about no vaccinations and wore his mask basically below his nose.

so he's trying to stem the blood-letting. But now his base is confused - vaccine so bad the evil government doesn't want us to have any. Wonder if the cognitive dissonance might cause a few to wake up to reality.

A straw man. The Republicans crafted a parody of Democrats, and their base Base believes this crap.

25. Why is he finally supporting the vaccine?
Sun Jan 16, 2022, 12:58 PM
Jan 2022

He's got to be dumber than dumb if he hasn't realized by now that he's losing his supporters to the virus. Getting booed at the other rally for suggesting vaccination probably stung him a little. So now he's blaming racism for all his dead supporters.

But why had he changed his tune at all? C'mon, he doesn't care about his supporters dying. He isn't a humanitarian, he's a grifter. He doesn't do anything if it doesn't benefit him.

It's my guess that he invested in the vaccine, and is making money from it somehow. Of course he wants them all to get vaccinated now.

I would prefer that they remain unvaccinated, and rely upon their MAGA natural immunities...


basically, if they can't vote in '24, I consider it all to the good. Too bad for their surviving loved ones... yes, too bad.
