A majority of Americans say President Trump is a “dangerous dictator” who poses a threat to democracy and believe he’s overstepped his authority by actions such as the mass firing of federal employees, a new survey says.
The wide-ranging poll released Tuesday, on Trump’s 100th day in office, is the latest sign of him losing support for his immigration and economic policies — the two issues that largely fueled his election.
Romney did WHAT??
Oh, yeah, you didn’t know about that? Romney was even the one who spilled the beans, he was telling a fun and completely normal human story about how he took his family on a road trip, and the dog, being strapped to the roof, got so freaked out that it had diarrhea all over the roof of the car and he had to go into a car wash and rinse the car off. I don’t remember if he said he took the dog off to wash the car, but one can hope that he at least managed to emulate that level of human behavioral subroutines.
And Noem bragged about shooting her dog. And RFK Jr is the bear roadkill guy.
What the fuck is wrong with these people?
RFK jr is also the “mutilated a whale carcus and strapped the severed head to the roof of the car with his kids inside” guy
I think that church has a lot to do with some of it for at least some of these people. Church has become, for many evangelicals, a weekly dose of assurance. Instead of an opportunity to improve themselves or question how they can lead a better life, it’s a temple of worshipping the self as it already exists. “Welcome to church, you are right about everything and God loves you. They are wrong about everything and God hates them. God bless, see you at Denny’s, don’t forget to not leave a tip”
Yeah, a lot of evangelical churches make it abundantly clear that as long as you love Jesus, you can be a giant piece of shit otherwise and still get into heaven.
As a kid I appreciated that line of thinking because I thought it allowed us to strive for better, accept that we’re all flawed, but still understand we’re all worthy of love.
Instead, as I was a teenager watching these same folks froth at the mouth and cheer for blood in Afghanistan and Iraq, I realized it was a way to reconcile any damn horrible thing they wanted to do. A cloak for depravity and hate.
Yeah, it was the people that drove me from the faith as well. Christianity would be so much nicer if Christians had listened to Jesus
Also in the case of Romney in particular he is Mormon who tend to scale onto the crazier side of things.
That’s not unreasonable. Religious types trend conservative/fundamentalist globally.

So strange to see things making fun of the Republicans pre-Trump. The reality is far, far worse than the way even the most scathing mockery depicted them.
