    You know, as much as it’s possible for me to, I get him. But what the fuck is wrong with these people clapping and cheering for a man seriously suggesting he’s going to just “give himself” a billion dollars from their tax dollars? How do you get from “conservative” to whatever the fuck this is, because it ain’t conservative.

      It’s a cult.

      And 40+ years of blatant political propaganda served via private “news” organizations (Fox) created specifically to be a propaganda machine after political fallout (Watergate) from actual news media.

      It’s mental illness. MAGA is a mentally ill death cult, and conservatives are the most susceptible.
