lmaoquote:Last week, officials at Mid Continent took pains to praise Trump as they ran a full-page ad in the local newspaper, warning Trump in an open letter that 500 jobs here are in jeopardy and urged him to save the company. quote:Asked whether she would rethink her support for Trump if she lost her job at the nail plant, Brogdon said probably not. The tariffs ultimately would be good for the nation — even if it left her unemployed.

Aren't a whole bunch of these the 'moderate, suburban Republicans' that Hillary Clinton banked her entire campaign on winning over?

Regrettabbly that crosses wires with the "Hate all Others" that somehow never got addressed in their church's sermons about opening their doors to the strangers, which is one of those central tenants in Christianity. Yeah, I dunno either, and I grew up going to church. The Catholics are far and away the least bad at it.

He does deserve it. They are fine with being broke and unemployed as long as black people and Mexicans get hurt worse than them, Trump is giving them what they want although I'm sure they'd prefer Huey Long.

the catholic church is terrible on every issue related to sexuality, from child molestation to LGBT issues to birth control and abortion. its exactly what you'd expect from a group run entirely by old men who never get laid ofc there are tons of evangelical schools that do poo poo like discipline rape victims when they report (for allowing themselves to be alone with a man) and then forgive the rapist if he prays and repents. not to mention being a successful sports coach is apparently a free pass to molest your athletes

Asimo posted:If they admit that Trump is loving them over and ruining America it would mean admitting that they, personally, got conned and made horrible stupid decisions. Whether consciously or unconsciously it's easier for them to admit that it "has to be" for the greater good or whatever so they can salvage their self-image even as the president pisses into their face. Related hot take: We're so used to the idea that having bad and wrong opinions online is the worst thing ever that it's all leaking into meatspace.
