    What a strange occurrence. I wonder what sent him over the edge. Based on everything said, it makes it sound like this was hastily done in the spur of the moment. Did his wife divorce him? Did he suddenly become disillusioned with Trump?

      Others were speculating this was possibly an accident. Like he was going to go party in the desert with his fireworks and the gas can was leaking. Is that off the table now?

        Considering he shot himself in the head before the bomb went off, yeah, I’d say that’s off the table.

    My guess is that certain idolizers of orange saw the blatant oligarchical cabinet choices, particularly with Elmo and hit some heavy cognitive dissonance. The truck symbolism is right there.

    Most people can clearly see he’s always been pro-corporate and fuck-you-working class.

    The cognitive dissonance from anyone who’s been outright worshipping him and has opened their eyes must be straight up torture.

    Even magatts are operating on the following when it comes to their political consent: “what leadership will cause the most opportunity for peace for me and my loved ones”

        Maggat types have been noted as having a higher proclivity towards in-group thinking, so, to your point, the methods for obtaining peace can be twisted into believing that the out group is the root of the problem.

        Think of them as fellow working class with a slight (at times severe) gullability disability if that helps. One class. Working class.

    So hear me out.

    Just imagine all those rabid murrica guns guns guns types…

    What if they actually found out trump was a fraud who actually doesn’t give a shit about and is actively hurting America?

    You think they’ll get less bang bang cuz it’s trump??? Lol

    • The thing is they want someone worse. Trump isn’t hurting people enough. In their America they do want people being hurt in the liberal America, so they’re not hurting the Real America™️ that they live in. That’s why they’re upset.
