I don't know how people can hear him say shit like this and respect his opinion on anything
Because they themselves are idiots. Either because they hear what he says and believe it, or because they only consume the propaganda that omits this word vomit entirely.
It’s got to be the latter. While I’m lucky that I don’t encounter people who worship at the altar of the orange weirdo, I’ve been wanting to ask them “have you ever listened to one of his speeches?” I don’t understand how you could listen to him and still support him, regardless of your political leaning
I still don't understand how we got here. My mom is a Botanist by education, with a graduate degree from a respected university. She lives in a small community right in the center or some of the most extreme wildfire risk in the country.
She brought up one day that if only her Governor would make sure the forests were raked up, the wildfires wouldn't be a problem.
It's so baffling.
Wow.
She's not a fire fighter, so I can kind of understand her thinking that's even remotely plausible or effective.
But as a botanist, she should absolutely know that the undergrowth needs that decaying leaf litter to support the complex ecosystem that keeps the soil fertile.
They don’t believe “the liberal interpretation” of what he says. They “know” what he “means”.
It’s easier to understand if you have any experience around batshit evangelicals. A lot of Americans do, sadly.
