Forgive me for repeating myself.

From what I can tell, Trump supporters do not support Trump because of any intellectual consistency on their part, much less any perceived intellectual consistency on his part. Trump says something, his followers cheer. Then Trump says something entirely inconsistent with what he just said, and his followers continue to cheer like nothing happened. They don't care.

They support Trump because they like him, or because they see him as a monkey wrench in the gears of an unjust system. Considering that those supporters are right - the game is rigged, and not in their favor, they actualy do sort of have a point. The problem is that Trump is too weak, stupid and easily manipulated to actually accomplish very much, so what the supporters in fact get for their support is just a more dysfunctional version of Dubya.

Very good encapsulation of the Trump phenomenon. If they wanted effective leadership - DeSantis, Halley, others were legit options. They were/are members of a cult and the substance of the matter is beside the point.

DeSantis, Haley, etc. are just standard-issue establishment neocons.

Yes for sure Trump is getting desperate. He's gonna lose this Nov. and genocide Harris will take over being Queen for a 4 year term....maybe 8. Oh goodie. 8 more years of UDA hegamony around the world. Hope we can survive but its iffy. My dream is the Greens get enough votes this November to make them a stronger more viable 3rd party option to the duopoly war machine that feeds it. If only folks could wrap their heads around: 'give peace a chance'.
