It was so difficult to understand how MAGAts could vote for such a braggart, could you?

Besides all the other reasons to despise the POS, his bragging has always been so very grating and gauche.

I know his other personality traits were even much more appalling and despicable, but his constant bragging was ALWAYS on display. But it was like a non sequiter to the MAGAts--as long as he expressed the same kind of hostility to marginalized groups that they have, he's their guy.

My entire adult life RWers/Repukes have been the party of bad taste, bad manners, bad (antisocial) public behavior. I always thought that MAGAts loving The Dotard was very on-brand for their party.

or what they see is glory. They take his bragging onto themselves and act like they, too, did all of these great things!

It's like a circle jerk of delusion.

MAGAs and conservatives are evolutionary leftovers from the days of hanging parties. Thier amydaglias are bigger than liberals are and thier disgust sensors too sensitive. Republicans have no inner sense of right or wrong and need strongmen leaders to tell them what to be because republicans are incapable of introspection and other higher functions like empathy. They are tribal backwards mob of criminals. Would have flourished in the old south because they haven’t evolved to function like a human in the year 2026.

I think the brain differences between repugs and liberals make them not able to co exist with liberal progressive people . We can’t live around them either. I think of republicans as brain damaged because they are like stuck in the past. They want to have fealty to a king it made them feel secure and belonging to a tribe.We don’t do kings and republicans can’t stand it.

And how he can never be at fault. Like he's some sort of grand exalted cult leader or something. Everything is the greatest and everything that doesn't kiss his ass 100% is fake or it didn't happen.
