I found this verbose diatribe....a bit wordy and long....but it gets to the root...to the heart of why Trump supporters do support him.
I don't know the O.P. nor the "lady named Bev....but it sure rings true;
The question is, "Why do people continue supporting Trump no matter what he does?"
A lady named Bev answered it this way:
“You all don't get it. I live in Trump country, in the Ozarks in southern Missouri, one of the last places where the KKK still has a relatively strong established presence. I'm not favoring them, and I'm not favoring liberals...but I understand the cult of Trump.
They don't give a shit what he does.
He's just something to rally around and hate liberals, that's it, period.
He absolutely realizes that and plays it up.
They love it. He knows they love it.
The fact that people act like it's anything other than that proves to them that liberals are idiots, all the more reason for high fives all around.
If you keep getting caught up in "why do they not realize this problem" and "how can they still back Trump after this scandal," then you do not understand what the underlying motivating factor of his support is.
It's "fuck liberals", that's pretty much it.
They don't have the mental facilities to debate.
Have you noticed he can do pretty much anything imaginable, and they'll explain some way that rationalizes it that makes zero logical sense?
Because they're not even keeping track of any coherent narrative, it's irrelevant. They just don't get it.
"Fuck liberals" is the only relevant thing. Trust me; I know first-hand what I'm talking about.
That's why they just laugh at it all because you all don't even realize they truly don't give a fuck about whatever the conversation is about. It's just a side mission story that doesn't matter anyway. That's all just trivial details - the economy, health care, whatever.
"Fuck liberals" - that's their attitude...not mine...theirs.
Look at the issue with not wearing the masks.
I can tell you what that's about. It's about exposing fear. They're playing chicken with nature, and whoever flinches just moved down their internal pecking order, one step closer to being a liberal.
They don't comprehend the liberal strategy.
You've got to understand the one core value that they hold above all others is hatred for what they consider weakness because that's what they believe strength is, hatred of weakness. And I mean passionate, sadistic hatred.
Sadistic, passionate hatred, and that's what proves they're strong, their passionate hatred for weakness.
Sometimes they will lump vulnerability in with weakness. They do that because people tend to start humbling themselves when they're in some compromising or overwhelming circumstance, and to them, that's an obvious sign of weakness.
Kindness = weakness.
Honesty = weakness.
Compromise = weakness.
Call it a "bully" mentality. Call it arrogance. Call it what you want...they're firm and fast in their opinions. They won't change.
They consider their very existence to be superior in every way to anyone who doesn't hate weakness as much as they do.
They consider liberals to be weak people that are inferior, almost a different species, and the fact that liberals are so weak is why they have to unite in large numbers, which they find disgusting, but it's that disgust that is a true expression of their natural superiority.
Go ahead and try to have a logical, rational conversation with them. Just keep in mind what I said here and be forewarned.”
They won't change their minds. They will only die out. And they might take us with them.
There are nearly 60 million Americans who think like this.
Be aware.
Unfortunately, you're right...
