I'm starting to think Donald J. Trump wasn't a very good president.
I'm starting to think Donald J. Trump is just in it for the money.
I'm starting to think Donald J. Trump hires the worst people.
@yurnidiot Oh jeez. Now I'll have to listen to all the Trumpers I work with ranting about this nonsense. They believe everything he says, no matter how ridiculous, and are willing to defend it with violence if need be.
@shuttersparks how do you work in an environment like that? genuinely curious
@yurnidiot Self-control and patience. Just smile and say little. The whole state of West Virginia is like this. People have their roofs painted "TRUMP", have their trucks painted, fly Confederate flags, etc. It's like a religion so you just have to tolerate it just like tolerating religion. You can't speak against it or risk consequences. Nor is there any point to trying. Objective facts and logic have no part in this so there's no possibility of changing someone's mind.
However, it is interesting to observe how easy it is to convert a population into a cult that will readily die for you. The whole Jim Jones thing finally makes sense.
@shuttersparks omg that is BANANAS. kudos to you for having the patience/will power to live through all that. takes real guts to endure that much stupidity on a daily basis. i fear this country is headed for darker times, but i hope your situation improves and/or you make it out of there with your sanity intact.
@yurnidiot I'll be fine. The country is what I worry about. There are millions of people like this and they will all be around long after Trump is gone, primed, ready, looking for a new cult figure to latch onto.
