Numb to Outrage

Numb to Outrage, Republican Voters Feel a Deepening Bond to Trump.

I’m now a registered Democrat and I feel no bond with anybody, especially Trump, but I totally get the “numb to outrage” part.

It’s as if it’s a strategy that the republican party is benefiting from. In a normal (by which I mean a non-banana republic) country, there’s literally dozens of scandals that would make every single member of the administration including the president, resign. But there’s just too much to cover. Resignation-worthy scandals can’t even make it through a 24 hour news cycle.

And these grifters are counting on it.

Maybe it’s time the media was a little bit more honest in profiling ‘random’ persuadable voters from the HEART LAND who are being driven to vote for trump because of all the needless outrage.

Spoiler: they’re not random. They’re committed right wingers, not people on the fence. Stop being conned by this genre of articles.

‘Yes, it is truly shocking that a Ron Paul-supporting neocondeferate still supports Donald Tump! ‘

  “If I were @jwpetersNYT, I might do enough research so my piece on Trump voters who still love Trump could note that I was profiling an activist who spends her time defending monuments to Treason in Defense of Slavery.”

    “If I were @jwpetersNYT, I might do enough research so…”
    
    But since the imbecile who originally posted this Tweet (which is almost certainly was, minus the image) did no research at all except to sneer at voters and people whom he considers inferior and ignorant, let’s all laugh along with his liberal superiority.
    
    Trump owes idiots like him a huge debt of gratitude. This smug progressive cretin was a big help when Trump won the 2016 election — and the Trump Re-election Campaign should send him a bouquet of flowers in 2020.

You could try going to the profile pages of non Ukrainians that you follow and liking all their posts, and…

It doesn't help that Vivek briefly had a following among the "based" crowd, though they'd all like to pretend that…

I actually think it had more to do with a misguided idea that a competitive primary would hurt the party…

The GOP can't stop chasing the dream of showing that they, too, have diversity. They'll sacrifice everything on the altar…

Vivek is Vivek. I would never expect anything better from him. But it's galling that the GOP rallied behind him…

Perhaps he would be less clueless if he went to a prom and chill out a little. I’m sorry his…

And the worst part is that Ramaswamy learned nothing and happily continues with the same type of cluelessness.

Poor Ohio. Looks like a lose-lose race. No matter who wins, Ohio loses. Good campaign ad though.

If you have not already read it I suggest The Spectator Bird by Stegner. It won the National Book Award for Fiction…

I can't explain it. It's never been this bad. I'm traumatized by how bad this is. I read this author…

I wonder whether he wrote it as a spoof. Or is he a True Believer?

"Vera by Juan del Val" Why/how did it win an award? Corrupt process? Tasteless judges? Something else?

That's a great meme.

That one is entirely on me. How I managed to mess them up us a mystery.

Yes, the Reconquista is not difficult to teach. Where I feel consistently is teaching that the Aztecs were cannibals and…

"defended Europe from a Muslim invasion and brought God to the Western hemisphere" Have you had success teaching students about…

Do you know the historic penalty of treason, have any of the known miscreants even been charged, let alone jailed?…

What went wrong with the potatoes?

Yes, a great example. Germans are throwing away their country. It's horrible because Germany has so much that's wonderful.

I'll add Germany to the second list too. How pathetic they have become in their self-hate is unbearable to see.

That's what I'm counting on. People need to get fed up with this crap. It's got to be enough at…

"We are perpetrators of endless historic abuse and need to be punished." LOL, Kid, you seriously underestimate the average citizens…

I’d say he definitely didn’t fix it well, or fixed something else and missed the problem.

It's not my oven. My brother-in-law says he recently fixed the oven. I'm very curious about the nature of the…

And the weirdest thing is that they look exactly like us, for the most part.

There was a lot of literature directed at teens and twentysomethings when I was young, 'exploring' the subject of child…

Your oven probably is at fault. Have you ever cooked anything as big as this turkey before? How big was…

They want us dead. Period.

That's very insightful. I didn't think of it myself but it sounds spot on.

That's the only explanation but the thermometer said the internal temperature was perfect.
