Well, it's official. Trump supporters don't care about America.

I saw a bumper sticker today, "Trump: Make Liberals Cry Again."

So, that clinches it: "We don't care what damage Trump does to America, just as long as we can troll liberals while he's doing it."

1. Basically, I think that is how the majority of them probably feel?

"Make those libs cry!"

"We hate those libs and we love our president."

They are out of touch with reality and see it as nothing more than personal entertainment.

2. These are the people that bring countries down and destroy them. And, it can happen to the US too.

It's pathetic to see what is happening to the US, and so damn many on the bandwagon to destroy the country.

3. I think that's been his selling point all along: Owning the libs.

No matter how destructive or damaging to them his policies might be, they're happy as long as we're not. It's like those morons with the "rolling coal" modification to their truck engines: It costs money to make the modification, it uses more fuel, it doesn't do the truck owner any good, but it might piss off some liberal tree-hugger in a Prius. MAGA!

12. "Own the Libs" has been a mantra ever since the Powell Memo of 1971

The timeline:

1971 - Powell Memorandum published, giving the blueprint for corporate takeover of the USA.
1973 - Heritage Foundation established, growing out of the business activist movement inspired by the Powell Memorandum
1987 - Fairness Doctrine repealed
1996 - Telecommunications Act lowered barriers to entry into the telecom market
2010 - Citizens United allowed corporate money into the political process, opening a channel for dark money and lightly disguised foreign money

The creation of Propagandastan is complete, and liberals are the enemy.
