I can't understand how stupid someone needs to be to listen to this drivel and think "Wow, this guy is a leader! Not just any leader either, the only leader for me!".

[–] [email protected] 106 points 4 months ago (2 children)

The crazy thing is that you don't need to cherry pick quotes or take them out of context to make him look like an idiot.

Listen to pretty much any interview or speech and he says something that is clearly idiotic, evil, or a blatant lie. Most likely all three... Repeatedly.

I get that Fox News is a hell of a drug, but just hearing this dipshit speak should shatter the illusion. The unwavering support is mind boggling.

Everything about him is like that. They claim he's strong and full of vitality too. All you have to do is watch him walking, or drinking water, and you can clearly see that he's a weakling.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (5 children)

He’s probably got pretty strong back muscles.

At least the hardcore Christians seem to see him more as a vessel or tool. God's tool doesn't have to be perfect and in typical Bible reverse 4D backwards logic, being imperfect even shows how much of a chosen one he is. I forgot the name, but there's actually a precedent in the Bible itself.

So they acknowledge that he is the antithesis to anything they claim to believe in, but they also think that he somehow will bring God's will or something.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago

He fits every description of the antichrist given in the Bible. They've warned about the antichrist for 2000 years, and then when he finally shows up they worship him. It's wack, yo!

You see, leaders don't like need to know the specific how to. They like need to know the business, you know. Art of the deal!

Maybe the result of US education system

CHRISTIAN 4TH GRADE SCHOOL TEXTBOOK TRIES TO EXPLAIN ELECTRICITY

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Link to the book please, I can't believe this.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (4 children)

I second this, it seems a bit too much on the nose to be real.

Edit: Omg, it's real.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

The reviews are hilarious

Fourth grade textbook published by Bob Jones University, and highlighted in a ScienceBlogs post by PZ Myers

[–] Ashyr 20 points 4 months ago

I have a high degree of confidence this is real. Looks like the hard work of Bob Jones University Press.

Mistaking it for being touched by the hand of god, when they were trying to remove the bread from the toaster with a fork.

Is that really from a book that used to teach children? Holy fuckin hell. No wonder America got shittier every day.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I wonder whether the kids being taught by that book ever zapped each other with static

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

IT'S LIKE MAGIC!

Then they probably got punished for practicing witchcraft and dark arts.

There's something I don't get about the world when someone like Trump isn't a universal laughing stock.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Sadly, that idiotic oaf is still probably smarter than 25% of the country.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

he is starting to sounds more and more like mashing the autocorrect prediction button. Which has always reminded me of how my great grandma spoke before she went non-verbal due to her dementia

The dumb thing is, I can kinda understand what the speech writer wanted to say and autoprompted to him. But his fried mind couldn't understand it and because he's so vain he won't wear glasses even though he needs them so he can't even read the autoprompter half the time.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 months ago (1 children)

God, I can't make it through the whole thing. Listening to him blathering on and on causes me actual physical discomfort.

I sincerely don't get how anyone listens to his rambling tripe and is like, "This guy totally gets it!"

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I know this is hard to fathom but its because those people are more stupid than he is.

How does a mind that has no thread at all still spew words?

Edit: right, autoprompt, makes sense.

In which states are the most Trump voters? Ignorance is the capital of the right wing policy and religion their tool.

‘You know we have a world, right?’ is what got me. I could barely finish reading past that point.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

Truly a modern Don Quixote for our age.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

iirc Trump hates windmills because there was a windfarm created near his golf course.

This is why the rumor doesn’t really need to be plausible or believable. It isn’t intended to deceive others. It’s intended to invite others to participate with you in deception.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

I think someone told him once that if he ever stopped yapping he would implode

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (9 children)

This seems even less hinged than usual, is it real?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Media isn't reporting his obvious dementia. They call the nonsense he spouts "rambling speeches."

Some other recent examples:

“We can’t have an election in the middle of a political season. We just had Super Tuesday. And we had a Tuesday after Tuesday already.”

"Gang boong. This is me. I hear bing.”

" I could tell you about aircraft carriers, where they use electric catapults. They couldn’t go to the steam, which works better for about 1/100th the price, you know? The electric catapult, you know that story? I could tell you about the elevators on a tremendous carrier, the Gerald Ford, and they decided not to use hydraulic like the John Deere tractor, they decided to use magnets, ‘we’re gonna use magnets!’ to lift up the elevators with seven planes.”

And 40 something% of the population will vote for him.

23% of the country voted for him in 2020, not 40%

I don't know if he has really said that or not. It saus long about the man.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Not exactly, there's missing context between each sentence. I hate him as much as the next person but the quote is inaccurate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec9P3C1OXqE
