So what's the real story? The real story is that you have a failing flailing moron in charge of a regime who got embarrassed at his birthday parade because nobody showed up. It exposed him as a soft, weak, diapered, addled fool, and demonstrated to the world stage that the emperor had no clothes.
[:Dr. Jim 2.0: The squeaky tank is the perfect image for the leader of this regime.
And the reason why these sequence of events occurred is when you have a malignant narcissist who gets embarrassed, he's gotta prove to the world that he's a big, strong guy. We're dealing with a 7-year-old, and in fact, most of the people in this administration. Old white men are incompetent and inept to a degree that they should never be put in charge of anything, and yet here we are.
The fact of the matter is you have a massive realization by a thin-skinned moron that he doesn't have support, and now even his own base is. Complaining about the things that were promised that they haven't gotten yet.
Voter: What in the fuck am I [:We get a Donald Trump phone, a fucking phone. Don't play it with Trump's picture on the back of it. I voted for 'em. Do I want a fucking Trump phone? No. I want some goddamn relief. No food stamps, no help with childcare. No clean water and flint. No cheap utilities, but a gold plated. Freedom fueled white, red, and broke Android with unlimited patriotism for 4 7 45 a fucking month.
[:Are we saving the country or is this all about marketing? They gave up on helping us, but hey, at least the phone comes with a flag so you can show your patriotism. I guess. I don't fucking know anymore.
Dr. Jim 2.0: you just heard a level of frustration by that Trump voter about what he isn't getting.
gonna be hurt by the almost [:And all sorts of services are gonna be his voter base.
We all know that the vast majority of the Republican voter base is made up of uneducated white males. And we also know that the vast majority of the Republican voter base relies heavily on public assistance and government services. What's gonna happen when trillions of dollars are cut from those services in order to pay for several trillion dollar tax cut to the top 1%.
What's gonna happen to the poorest of the country that are gonna be made even poorer so that the Jeff Bezos of the world can buy another yacht. Maybe that will finally wake up the rest of the crowd, but even if they wake up.
They did what they did and they're getting exactly what they voted for.
