Why do the MAGA's not get it?? It may have something to do with their cognitive decline.

Anyone can have cognitive issues early on.. Trump certainly has. One can be quite coherent and wise later in life too. People age differently, but values experience and education matter a lot.

I agree. Trump has no values, principles or ethics. He is deeply experienced in the art of the con, and his education is "iffy' at best. He is a nut job.

". . . you canтАЩt love your country only when you win.тАЭ Thanks yet again to HCR for giving us most of Biden's speech rather than sound bites. The FG and his beasts are ready to "burn it all down." No shame, only idiocy that helps no one. Work now, for the night is coming. VOTE.

I believe he is mentally dysfunctional but so normal-like at times that people can get on his wave length and get conned and "charmed" by his charisma.I believe he is amoral, without morals...maybe immoral (evilly disposed?)They then adopt his hate and vindictiveness, his views, the nicknames and slogans he uses and this becomes a cult. He is very very dangerous.

Charisma?? Trump has no charisma..

dictionary definition:

"A charismatic person attracts, influences, and inspires people by their personal qualities. "

Maybe not for you, nor me, but for many obviously. This is not a positive or negative assessment.

Sometimes I wonder if repeated bouts of Covid have contributed to their collective mental decline.

It's repeated bouts of LIES, CONSPIRACY, and PROPOGANDA from Trump, FOX, and the rest of his despicable supporters that has caused the collective mental decline. This is so sad.

It is a long history of all the things that death star represents and the fear that being white, male, and heterosexual is somehow losing the power to lord it over all of us. I am not excluding female aiders and abetters here either.

I read a lot of history and as recommended by a couple of us Fever in the Heartland, about the KKK in Indiana in the 1920s. Also Saving Savannah about that city pre, during and post Civil War.

I figure itтАЩs lack of education and/or they have an agenda. ItтАЩs amazing how the poorest vote against their own interests.

Yes. That's why Trump likes the uneducated. They're easily swayed.
