    Honestly, good. Squeeze those stupid motherfuckers dry. Because when they’ve given everything they have to Trump and they get nothing in return except deeper into poverty, that’s when they will feel the pain they deserve.

    But the depth of their devotion to someone who gives zero fucks about them is truly astounding.

      I’ve subscribed to the theory white supremacists backed by Christian Nationalist Billionaires have fueled this entire conflict and culture war.

      First the pedophiles infiltrated the church, then the White Supremacy movement saw how easy it was and joined in.

      Purely speculative other then project 2025 as proof

      There’s a lot of folks out there with tons of money that give plenty and won’t get anywhere close to poverty. Trump has a tectonic donor base that has money.
