      The kind of person who does this to their car won’t believe it’s true, while simultaneously defending it as him doing nothing wrong because all the liberals say it’s okay to do it, which also doesn’t mean admitting Trump actually did it, because he didn’t, and this is also proof that Dems did much worse things, even though it’s not real and just a plot to destroy Trump and let Satan rule over the world.

    TDS is a Swiss army tool for controlling what their base thinks and dealing with negative press. I don’t know if it evolved organically or was created, but promoting the idea that anyone who says anything negative about Trump is hysterical, jealous, and irrationally hell-bent on destroying him has been insanely effective for them.

    It’s less about you and more about enabling nutcases like this guy to be complete and utter tools for what they think is a greater cause. You can already see it in use with the Epstein files along with their other grand slam propaganda tools.

    I don’t think I’ve ever felt more invisible than being told I hate trump an unhealthy amount. It’s not even that I hate him, it’s just that I have a real big fucking issue understanding how anyone could not see through his shit within a second. If you’ve read any news one time, once a year, you are educated enough to stop and enter an existential crisis.

    Even when someone says “well I just don’t pay attention to politics.”

    It’s so in your face that you don’t have to. You literally have to be a camel to not see right through it on accident.

          Religious people are taught from birth to blindly believe what is told to them by authority figures and to take things on faith instead of thinking critically. It’s no big surprise that people like that are easy to manipulate and prone to worshipping said authority figures.
