    It is baffling how anyone couldn’t see this shit show coming. I constantly feel like I’m the subject of a long running prank.

      They are sadly that stupid. I was wrapping up a job and talking to the customer ( die hard trump freak ) , typical " yeah, nice weather this weekend, hope you have a nice vacation this summer etc.".

      Somehow the price of “things” comes up and this lady says "yeah it’s like the extended warranty on my car! They keep raising the rates every year and I think I’ve paid them as much as the car cost me used! But at least i know if it breaks down ill be covered "

      😭😭😭 Noooo you stupid idiot ! That is a fucking scam ! Everyone knows that!

      Well, they are the people that fall for all that dumb ass shit. I don’t understand how they live so long and have nice homes. I just can’t figure it out.

      They knew it would happen. I don’t believe for a second anyone didn’t see this happening.

      People believe themselves to be part of the in-circle as “one of the good ones”. My father is a Trump-supporting anti-immigrant immigrant. But when he says “immigrant”, he really means Hispanics and blacks, not Asians like himself.

      I even know an Afghan guy who loves Trump. He grew up under the Mujahideen and then the Taliban, so he hates Islam. When Trump says Muslim countries are bad, this guy 100% agrees. He thinks he and Trump are on the same side, because he’s no longer Muslim. Trump, or course, would have him arrested and deported on sight for being brown.
