It finally clicked; This is Trump's base

[Xipe Totec]

Seriously, Trump supporters idolize Trump because he embodies everything described in This Leary song.

They admire him because he's a fucking asshole and they just wish they could be asshole like him.

Deplorables just doesn't doesn't cut it.

1. It's true

The Trump supports I know love Dennis Leary & this song.

Edit: Of course, it's only when THEY are being the asshole.

On another topic - for those familiar with the drinking game "Asshole", would it now be accurate to combine the "President" position and "Asshole" position?

2. It's their National Anthem

I swear, I think Leary was trying to be funny but he touched a deep vein of resentment and alienation.

3. I think you're on to something...

Use to be that assholes were scattered across the political spectrum. Not evenly since many were Rethugs even then, but we Dems had more than our share. If there's one good thing about the current political order it's that all the assholes have now gravitated to Dumpster like moths to a porch light on a summer night. Makes for very easy identification. Dumpster supporter? Obvious racist, bigoted asshole worthy of nothing but our hatred and scorn. I shit on all of them.

4. LOL. That was great! I didn't know he sang. Is that an old video?

If it's new...that man doesn't age!

Great song. Hilarious. (and I've always thought he's so hot! Not just physically, but he seems like a great guy, when I've watched him in interviews. Good actor, too.)

5. I have known who and what his base of shitheads are...

They are the same bullies that were in your classes at school and in all of your workplaces. They are the asses who you have sworn at over the years for being hateful idiots who think they know it all and are always right. No matter how wrong they actually know they are they will yell and shout how they know the truth, their way is always the right way, and they are better than anyone and everyone. They will threaten you and insult you and harass you because they are smarter, stronger, richer, better, etc than everyone...try to prove them otherwise. THEY ARE EXACTLY LIKE TRUMP! COWARDS IN BULLIES CLOTHING!

Denis nails it and he nails it really, really well! Thank you Leary!

6. It's true. I've known them all my life.

7. I fear that what Denis sings in Parody

Deplorables take as anthem.
