Donald Trump's die-hard supporters show no signs of straying

"Three hundred miles south in a Charleston, West Virginia, shopping mall, Joyce Ash took a moment to ponder Trump after buying a dress Wednesday to wear to the funeral for her husband of 33 years, who died of pancreatic cancer.

The 71-year-old woman summoned nothing but support for the political novice who led her to ditch her lifelong support of Democrats. She recalled sitting up all Election Night to watch Trump clinch the win, and said nothing since made her reconsider her vote.

"Let the president do his job instead of trying to take him out every time you turn around," Ash implored. She didn't follow the back-and-forth over Trump's statements on Charlottesville but saw no reason to question him: "I believe in Donald Trump, I really do. I believe that if they would just give this man a chance, the economy, everything will start going better.""

2. He'll never lose them but there aren't enough of them to win an election.

[pstokely]

3. but he'll keep holding rallies with all five of them

4. That's where this guy comes in:

[BigDemVoter]

5. Of course not! They hate African Americans and Jews. . . .

[AlexSFCA]

6. it's a cult

He can do no wrong, they'll support his every move

[Liberalagogo]

7. Sadly, some things never change

[The_Casual_Observer]

8. Sure I could find a stupid misinformed to interview too.

What's the point of this?

[barbtries]

11. it is true that

some people do not have any desire to think for themselves. too bad they vote.

[FiveGoodMen]

28. It's way worse than that

You start with some initial assumptions and use logic (thinking for yourself) to arrive at conclusions that are consistent with those initial assumptions.

If you start from the premise that white people count and others don't, all the thinking in the world won't make it better.

I other words, they have embraced evil and are following through on it.

[barbtries]

33. that's true.

we are a sick country. sigh.

[Honeycombe8]

12. Then they're supremacists or sympathizers. We now have somewhat of a count ...

of how many KKK, white nationalists/supremacists there are in the country.

[beachjustice]

13. Who has obstructed Trump? He's a president with the legislature and most states under GOP control

Why do people keep asking his detractors to give him a chance, as though every one of us has the power to veto his orders? If I had a choice, I would have stopped giving him a chance long ago. He's president in almost a single-party state. If he can't get things done now, then he can't get things done.

[FakeNoose]

22. Awesome points and I totally agree

It's lucky for us that Cheeto is such a terrible politician/leader that he can't get anything done.
Because the things he wants to do would be so completely awful for the American people.

So let's sit tight and let Robert Mueller do his job, I believe Trump will be gone in less than a year.

[ffr]

14. And neither do we, his loyal wishers of schadenfreude

May all bad things come to him, his family, his donors and his loyal followers.

[Doug the Dem]

15. Not Surprising

Stupid is as stupid is, as stupid is, as stupid is, and shall always be thus.

[RandiFan1290]

16. Read the comments on the fox Facebook page

They are going full nazi and calling for more violence.

[Bengus81]

17. Sure...his "die hard" supporters,the others are leaving

Otherwise his approval rating would never stray much below 45%.

[Sunlei]

18. TV on & hours on internet, what would they do without it.

Even in their cars it follows them everywhere.

[atreides1]

19. A "Good German"

And there are too many like her!!!

[FakeNoose]

23. We have to learn from their history

The German people are determined to never let Hitler happen again and they've changed their course to prevent it from ever happening. It's up to us to recognize the signs and do the same in the USA. All the signs are here but we're not seeing them - at least not enough of us are.

Luckily for us Cheeto is going to be out of office soon because of his many crimes he committed before he got elected. He'll pay for those, but not for all the damage he's done to us since he was elected. He'll never pay for that damage.

The term "Good German" applies to Trump supporters only because of their willful ignorance and blind eye to his many faults and errors. I believe this term can be applied to just about everyone in the GOP.

[IronLionZion]

20. Screw the die-hard supporters, let's pick off the moderate ones

get them on record speaking out against it, otherwise they are enablers

[geek tragedy]

21. Trump's hardcore supporters have the cerebral capacity of lobotomized monkeys

Seriously, just ignore those fucking people and what they think. All we can do is get them depressed to the point they don't vote.

[HughBeaumont]

24. Strict-Father Authoritarian slobberers.

These people have been mentally beaten down by their elders, their bosses, their media channels and the slick-talking economic-winner alphas that run this country.

It's as if they could never conceive a better way to live . . . mostly because that way slightly inconveniences wealthy people. You know, "who they'll BE someday!!"

[dalton99a]

25. They'll die praising his name and clutching his stupid hat

Fuck them

[heaven05]

26. to be so dumb

haven't ever learned, never wanted to learn tolerance....a racist pig. Period.

[get the red out]

27. Tired of stupid white people

I'm a white person who never wanted to "give Trump a chance", and I'm sick of stupid white people who can't think for themselves enough to see the damage Trump is doing to this country. Stupid people are always going to exist. Focusing on them is meaningless.

[Gothmog]

29. The deplorables are so stupid that they will believe anything

[procon]

30. WTF do they mean?

When Republicans implore everyone to, "Let the president do his job" and beg us all to, "give him a chance", what are they talking about? Don't they read the news... OK, silly presumption on my part, sorry.

Trump can't do his job because he's made no attempt to schmooze up to the GOP leaders in congress and work out a deal (him bigly deal maker, yeah?) to get his promised policies into law. He can't do his job because he's insulted and pissed off so many Republican politicians they won't lift a finger to break any deadlock. Trump can't do his job because he refuses to even acknowledge the Democrats in congress, let alone negotiate with them to get anything done.

Trump has needlessly squandered away whatever chances he had to make his presidency successful, and he has only himself to blame for the stunning incompetence of his entire administration.

[question everything]

31. They blame the media

they are not looking for a pastor, for a moral authority and they "know" that he will "turn things around"

Disgusting

32. Have any of his celebrity admirers piped up lately?

There must have been at least one or two besides Ted Nugent.

[xxqqqzme]

34. Start recording their names.

We need to know who gets the bill to to clean up this mess.
