This post is a typical deflection by
@Mac9192. He simply doesn’t possess the ability to process new information that impacts his worldview. Sadly, this is very common in his generation. I’ll disregard his childish insults, as he’s unfortunately not capable of much else.
A couple of weeks back, I asked
@Mac9192 and
@dukesince91 two simple questions:
Why is Donald Trump protecting pedophiles and violating the law he signed in November to release the Epstein files?
Why did Donald Trump send Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum security prison when she’s a convicted child molester who isn’t eligible to be in a minimum security prison?
Now, I knew there was no chance they could even acknowledge, much less answer, these questions for a few reasons. The Epstein files are not being covered by Fox News for obvious reasons. There is simply no way that, after investing this much time and effort into propping up Trump, they can report on something that could completely destroy his movement and presidency. It doesn’t matter that he’s mentioned thousands of times in the files. It doesn’t matter that he’s accused of assaulting children in the files. So the entire right wing media ecosphere has collectively put its head in the sand about what’s in these files. I’m sure they frequently play the clip of Trump saying he’s been “fully exonerated,” though.
And why wouldn’t they? This leads to an examination of your typical Trump voter: low IQ, low information, and confidently incorrect. This is the base, the hardcore believers. The people who fly flags, wear clothing with Trump’s face on it, etc. This is arguably the most dangerous kind of stupid there is: a person who’s so stupid and uninformed that they actually think they’re intelligent. There’s no self evaluation, no acknowledgement that there’s more to learn. This person has no inner monologue. They say what they think and betray their stupidity for the world to see.
Not all Trump supporters fall into this category. There are those who look at issues such as illegal immigration, which is a real issue, promises of lower taxes, who doesn’t want to pay the government less, and other economic implications such as “Trump’s great for the economy.” These are people who will look past Trump’s BS because of the potential benefits they believe they can receive based on his policies.
Make no mistake, that’s not what
@Mac9192 is. He sometimes tries to imply criticism, but his heart’s never really in it. He’s a true believer and always has been. It’s easy to understand why, though.
@Mac9192 has spent his whole life feeling like he’s been screwed. If only “they” cared about people like him, everything would be better in this country, just like it was when he was a kid.
And then along came Trump, gliding down that golden escalator. Here’s a great businessman, it said so on TV, not a scummy politician, someone who speaks fluent moron and no doubt has historic levels of charisma. This guy says what I’ve been telling my buddies behind closed doors for years. And he says it proudly. He’s not ashamed. He just tells it like it is. He probably even uses racial slurs behind closed doors. And better yet, he cares about me. He’s going to deport all “those” people, bring back all the factory jobs my family worked when I was growing up, put the gays and trans people back where they belong, in the closet, put God back in schools and back in America! End this woke BS. I can finally say all those dumb things I think out loud and it’s freaking cool.
The allure of Trump is not hard to imagine. It’s like flies to a pile of **** for the ignorant. The problem, though, is that the promises he made were lies. Trump cares about one thing and one thing only. He only cares about himself. Everything, every policy, every law they’ve passed since he’s been elected, every court case he’s initiated, the one goal is and always has been to enrich himself and, by proxy, the Epstein class that he truly represents. He doesn’t care about his base. In reality, he probably looks down on them and despises them. They are simply a means to an end.
That’s who
@Mac9192 is. Low IQ, low information, and confidently incorrect.
@Mac9192 simply can’t acknowledge the Epstein files and Trump’s involvement. It would shatter his worldview. It would stain the best decade of his political life. It would mean that “his guy” was one of “them” all along. That he was wrong, his judgment was wrong, and that’s simply something an idiot can never admit to themselves. They don’t have the ability.
So he compensates in the only way he knows how. He calls people names, denigrates actual intelligent people, parrots Trump’s lies. He deflects, he ignores, he retreats deeper into safe spaces, he buries his head in the sand.
This is what the faithful are doing right now. The truth, reality, is just too much to comprehend. The day will come when these people disavow ever supporting Trump. The evidence against him on Epstein, the evidence of his grifts, the sheer criminality behind the man will be too much to bear. They’ll hide their MAGA flags, their merch. They’ll remove his face from their social profiles. They’ll pretend they knew it was a sham all along.
I honestly pity people like
@Mac9192. They can’t help it, it’s how God made them. Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.
