The lack of empathy with Trump supporters should be studied. Because I would love to know what drives them to this man so much. He has the strongest collective of meat riders in human history.
My hypothesis is lead poisoning.
I remember reading at the start of Covid in the US, when the government was saying “masks are dumb”, but local churches were going “masks save lives”, the churches were surprised at how much pushback they were getting.
Turns out raising someone from a young age to believe without questioning, and look up to one person as their only source of truth, and ignore compelling scientific evidence, is pretty hard conditioning to break.

Im sorry but how did you rule out Asbestos??
Doesn't asbestos just give you mega asthma and giga cancer and not turn you into a soulless piece of shit?
It also stops fire.
And water, when it's in shingle or siding form. Wow this is a miraculous material, we ought to start using it for everything!
I believe its also a carcinogen
That's what causes the aforementioned giga cancer.
Eighties and nineties peeps will remember:
Hey dont rule us youngers out of knowing about those commercials, I remember them as late as 2009 or so.
Asbestos, while it has negative health implications, does not have a mind-altering component like lead poisoning.
Asbestos is more cancer-causing while lead does more of the developmental delay thing.
It's called fanaticism, which is when people stop liking someone because of their actions/oratory and start liking the actions/oratory because they came from the person.
Americans have been conditioned such that they're fallible to this bullshit.
Did we forget the Arabs, Swedes, Japanese, Russians, Canadians, Mexicans, need I go on?
Human nature is a human nature thing, not an American thing.
Sincerely,
Someone not a fan of useful idiots pushing needless division.
Well, firstly, I didn't say other people haven't been brainwashed, just that americans had. Secondly, the american brand is very strong. Not a ton of countries would've allowed a specimin like trump to get anywhere near high office, let alone elected them president, all while crowing to all and sundry about what a utopia the usa is and how much better they are than everyone else!
America is full of assholes. Trump is their King. King of the assholes and hero to the stupid.
I agree, but I think it's more than that. Even if you think Trump is telling the truth and all of this is a made up lie (even though there are other signs like cheating on his wife to sleep with porn stars and being caught on a mic saying he just grabs women by the pussy), IT'S EXTREMELY DUMB for him to keep talking about it!
Trump should be renamed to Xenu.
They all wish they could be him. These are people who would act JUST LIKE TRUMP if they could get away with it. They aren't into him because of the policy, they are into him because they are jealous.
It's like they're drawn to the warmth of a book burning.
