Honestly I'm not even upset. Props for walking outside like that.

Id give this guy a thumbs up and hope he doesn't rage at me.

that's a possibility, and if trump doesn't win this race, it's extremely unlikely the RNC runs him again, so the question is how many of those voters are unwavering trump supporters that would kill any chance of an RNC candidate winning again.

but it also just, doesn't feel super likely to me either, like we're talking about heavens gate level shit, which is possible, i think it's more likely that these people are simply delusional, and just stupid and misinformed, as harsh as that is.

I mean, delusional and misinformed are requirements for cult membership. It’s a bunch of pathetic people worshiping his brand, image, and “tough guy” persona. He says the racist shit they want to say out loud and they love that. He’s “rich” and they love that too. He’s a poor man’s idea of a rich man. He “owns the libs”. He’s a bully. He’s a narcissist. They eat all that shit up and can’t believe there is someone out there that speaks to all they things they’re thinking but out loud. There’s also a big overlap of his base with flat earthers, klan members, conspiracy theorists/ qanon, and crooks.
