They certainly turned on him when he tried to suggest that maybe they could think about wearing masks and vaccinating during covid, the backlash of which promptly put him back onto anti-masking.

I think he's more of an idol (in the "religious idoltory" sense) than an actual person to them. He plays to their same un-sensibilities, but it looks like the very few times he's tried to stray even slightly from the accepted rhetoric he's been put back in line. He bends over so quickly though that it's totally reasonable that anyone thinks those were his positions all along. Strong man my ass.

Yeah, he got in trouble for favoring abortion in the case of rape and incest as well. But I think even then, his fans think he's just pandering to get votes. "He doesn't really mean it, he's truly on our side, he's just playing that 4D chess again."

I'm telling you I think they believe he's really brilliant. Like so many steps ahead of everyone else that you couldn't possibly know his grand scheme. A master tactician.

After all he has to fight pedophile Satanists who've been operating in broad daylight faking school shootings and planes flying into buildings, who sit at their Hollywood parties drinking adrenochrome with their foul friends, while the elites fly through Denver airport to meet in the Binderburg group at Bohemian Grove, to formulate the new world order and the cashless society and will cause them all to wear the number of the beast.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
