Trump supporters issue threats of violence if it takes too long to get their McNuggets. They're not exactly people known for handling conflict appropriately.
When I hear "I got fired for my political beliefs", I think "they got fired for being a contrarian blowhard with no impulse control".
Same. Well, either that or their boss found a racist Tweet/FB rant of theirs.
Or out in the boonies it's the other way around and we smoke a joint.
I still can’t fathom how he became president. He acts like a toddler
Because that's conservatives level of understanding of how things actually work. Toddlers don't understand that other people are also conscious beings with feelings, thoughts, and different experiences. (I actually know many toddlers that are more empathetic, communicative, and understanding than the average conservative.)

There's a piece of that but I don't think that's the largest reason Trump was elected. The largest would be...wait for it... income inequality! Follow me here for a minute. There are large numbers of Americans that are increasingly at the short end of the stick with GDP consistently rising, but their personal finances struggling and under fire worse every day. Part of the non-conservatives voted for Hilary pragmatically hoping for the scraps of social reform that Democrats are able to get passed into law. The other, and larger part of the non-conservatives, heard Trump the words that were lying to them telling them that they are poor because of immigrants and (oddly) spending on social programs that doesn't benefit that specific voter.
Honestly the biggest divisions aren't between Democrat and Republican. Those issue are mostly symptoms of the wealth inequality. The biggest division is between rich and poor. I think if those that voted for Trump were doing even moderately better financially, they'd be less concerned about someone below the poverty line getting a cell phone subsidy or child care credit.
Poverty is indeed the root cause of many societal issues, but it still boggles the mind that the answer to "income inequality" is "vote for the billionaire".
The mind-boggling thing is that he is a lifelong fraud and con man with zero attempts to hide it. The cultists still said shit like, "run America as a business." And he did run it like one of his businesses. Used it as a vehicle to accept dirty money from Russia while he golfed or watched TV all day.

You're off by a few years, but only a few.

"When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different."
D'Antonio also corroborated Trump's statement with evidence — from Trump's ex-wives.
"The little boy that still wants attention," explained Marla Maples, Trump's second wife.
So does his base!
Illegal to make threats isn't it? More bullshit from the party of law and order. Domestic terrorists they all are.
What are they gonna do, shit their pants in his honor?
Or for an innocent verdict. Or just because it's Monday.
Please proceed
Trump knows his supporters will risk dying for him.
They won't, though. As soon as Babbitt got blasted they turned tail.
Imagine all the lovely jail time or indeed, generous helpings of high-speed lead we can give these chucklefucks when they start trying to make good on their demented tantrums.
How are so many of these angry racist bigoted lunatics also so completely blind and unaware that they are surrounded by hateful lunatics? How can none of them just simply glance left or right and realized that they're in the crazy crowd?
Party of law and order and Back the Blue?
They issue those every day, but they ALSO issue them on that day.
