    It’s the fanboy BS that is getting especially disturbing in all of this. I get that it’s basic psychology that when you back something, commit to it publicly, there’s a complete reluctance to rescind on your previous position (doubt turns people into stronger advocates, the effect is stronger if someone’s identity is threatened, cognitive dissonance etc etc; there’s a wealth of research out there going back decades), but, come on, we’ve all backed the wrong horse at some point, adopted a position that we’ve retrospectively realised was a mistake, that’s life and part of the process of growing as an individual. I mean, this whole DJT, our great leader... grow a pair, look at the last six months objectively and admit this guy is a fucking mess and he’s full of shit! Ease up on the blind allegiance, it's nonsense.

    • If Breitbart & Co keep up the criticism, then the fanboys might re-channel the frenzy they've been whipped to for the last year against him.Continuity
    • That's a really big fucking 'might', though.Continuity

    • Interesting, thanks. That Tom guy, the Tea Party organiser, he seems confused somewhat, conflating criticism of Trump with an agenda to destroy America...dorfsman
    • How has he made this conceptual leap? One can clearly see that DJT is no diehard patriot, he’d shaft the whole country given half a chance...dorfsman
    • This whole narrative of Trump as some bulwark of American ideals is just pure shit, like the purest of turdy shit.dorfsman
    • I'd argue that Americans on both the left and right need to claw his tiny orange hands off that one, he is not a patriot.dorfsman
