@mcdaragh.bsky.social: No I think the fact that he's a bullying asshole is very much the appeal to most of the base, who are whiny loser pricks and like him because of that.

I keep wondering if maybe eventually the Republican base will abandon Trump not so much because of practical issues like the logistical headaches of trying to do international politics as a convicted felon but because it’s really impossible to ignore the fact that he’s just a garbage human being

I suppose there may be some folks for whom his selfishness, mendacity, pettiness, and cruelty are features but I really don’t think those things are appealing to the majority of the base. They might like the idea that he’s “strong” or “uncompromising” but not that he’s a whiny loser prick

No I think the fact that he's a bullying asshole is very much the appeal to most of the base, who are whiny loser pricks and like him because of that.
