God Bless Paul Davies and the @PhillyInquirer: "The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump...There was only one person at the debate who does not deserve to be running for president. The sooner Trump exits the stage, the better off the country will be."
“Trump is a fucking criminal what the fuck are we doing here”
This is how I feel ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Trump is a criminal! How have millions of Americans, including a large portion of the media and one of the two major political parties, decided that doesn’t matter???
It's this fucked up phenomenon where if a certain threshold of people like a thing, other people feel like they have to act like there must be some validity to it. It ends up reinforcing itself, becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts. It takes a huge amount of energy to fight it.
There are too many people who have followed him this far, who have had countless stops where they could have gotten of the train but didn't. If they started questioning their own judgement now it might literally kill them. They have to keep believing.
I think that’s right. They can’t say, hey, I follow a rapist and a convicted felon whose spiritual advisor is a child molester. Because then, what would that say about them?
It's why no new scandal ever fazes them. They decided years ago to put their faith in this guy, because of how he makes them feel, and just tuned everything else out. Classic cult behavior, it's just the scale of it that's unusual.
