A clip featuring faithful MAGA lapdogs rationalizing pedophilia and incest (after being fed fake Trump quotes they believed to be real).
But yeah.
Go on about how it's not a fucking cult.
Grimmrog
yeah, I am a human male, all your pussy are belong to us. There is no plantation to ever grow enough facepalms.
Garwoodxx
It is a cult.

It could have been anything. Confessing to rape, murder, confessing to treason. Talking about how he's a literal puppet for world leaders of enemy nations, that he's been taking pay from Osama bin Laden and Sadam Hussein for decades, that a talking lion from space came down in a rainbow boxcar and told Trump everything he needed to do to the world and it's people... anything at all he said, they would have reframed their minds, realities, and lives to make it acceptable, or even good.
RetrogradeLlama
Hilarious and frightening all at the same time.

It's funny how it BARELY even sounds like him, yet none of them ever suspected it might NOT be him saying that. They just went straight to the gaslighting.

For some, their identity is permanently locked into total commitment to proving their unwavering loyalty to him, no matter what, even if it means abandoning truth, reason, morality, family, democracy, etc.
For some, there is no acceptable version of a world without him as its adored ruler, and there is no unacceptable version of a world where he rules.
Some would rather burn everything down to crown him ruler over the ashes instead of allowing anyone to live in a world where he does not reign.

This could also apply directly to certain religions, where children are taught this way of thinking almost from birth.

It’s a deep rooted identity for so many Americans. MAGA is never going away now.

Obviously, Hillary Clinton was wrong... It's not half of the voters are deplorable, they're all deplorable.
GemmaWho
I listened to 3 people respond, and they are as vile as Cheeto Mussolini himself. I worry about their children. Are they safe? Call CPS on every one of those absolute disgusting humans that have children/grandchildren/nieces/nephews. They are not safe with them if they are excusing that (fake, i know)audio. It's real to them in this convo

Aside from these people being appalling apologists, I'm shocked at how dumb they all are. Not even one of them questioned if it was real, in fact they seem so used to how disgusting he is, there is no longer a limit to what they will tolerate from him.
RadicalRecluse
i overhead some boomer in dunkin say "even if he was a pedo, he's still better than kamala and the democrats." america is so unfathomably cooked, this is going to haunt us for the rest of our lives.

just as there are some 90+ year olds PROTESTING ... the fight literally never ends and most of the last 3 generations were told that it actually did end like 50 years ago and please dont ask any questions on your wait to life crushing student loan debt byebye :)

This is why it wouldn’t matter if they released the Epstein list unredacted with Trump right on top as the number 1 client.
In fact, I believe it would make things worse because they’d be like „it’s now ok to rape children”
Hashbrown123
The chinaman is not the issue here, Dude. Also, Dude, "chinaman" is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.
Festerboob
Nah, I disagree. Englishman and Frenchman are used and they are ok, Chinaman isn't bad or racist surely?
SuperfluousMeh
There's a lot of native ethnicities in China, but the problem comes from when chinaman became a term for all asians, whether chinese or not. So, it's not quite the same.
HeHeHebieJeebies
i am envious of anyone that has so little contact with his followers that this would be shocking.

Agreed. My workplace is full of them. It’s hell watching the mental gymnastics they jump through.

For those interested, this article explores the topic of how liberals and conservatives process information differently: https://slate.com/technology/2017/11/why-conservatives-are-more-susceptible-to-believing-in-lies.html
Euoric
Can I get a TL;DR of why?
notagoodspelller
"Conservatives and liberals typically differ in their particular psychological makeups. And if you add up all of these particular differences, you get two groups that are systematically motivated to believe different things." And: “The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans believe people are fundamentally bad, while Democrats see people as fundamentally good.”
Euoric
Thank you, much appreciated.

As a man, no. No. No this is not man talk, I've never even thought shit like that and never heard anyone express anything like that in a locker room.
Septcanmat
Another man here; also stepping in to say that I’ve never said - or even thought - those things. And I think it’s important that men stand up and say they haven’t said anything like this, that this goes way beyond “locker room talk”, because the issue with awful people is they believe everyone else is as awful as they are. They don’t realize that everybody else is, in fact, a better person than they are.
januarylover
As another man, I've heard some horrific shit said in locker rooms, still do sometimes... by guys I've suspected are rapists or rapist-adjacent, at the very least, complicit in rape culture. As a grown man it's easier to push back against & call out, but as a closeted gay Maori in the early 2000s it wasn't. It's fucked up & I understand why so many women don't trust men in general.

Where is this video from? I hear the laughter, so it's from a late night talk show? Kimmel? Where are the 'panelists' from?
zanaria
The sad part is that they actually do make excuses like that, there was even a woman who said she wouldn't care if he touched her own daughter... People like that should have their kids taken away...
ArdentSlacker
It's because conservatives do not love even their own children. They are possessions to be used. Every claim of protecting anyone or any thing is just... a lie they use to justify being evil pieces of shit. It's not even just indifference. They actively support and cheer for other people being harmed. Shadenfreude isn't a good thing.
They never had morals. They're just selfish supremacists working together to harm everyone, even their own future selves.
KirbyUOR
When my sister asked our dad what he thought about trump kissing Ivanka on the lips, and holding her in his lap, and saying he would fuck her if they weren't related, my dad told his own daughter that it's not for us to judge someone else's family and that maybe it is normal for them.
randomdrifter54
This is how family abuse and shit stays a family secret cause not questioning uncomfortable norms. Not that this specific family abuse is secret. But the thought that the family reputation and privacy matters more than the innocence and security of a child.

WTF is up with the laugh track?
FoamingToad
Watched on silent so wasn't aware, but at this point what the fuck else can you do but laugh in the face of despair. Non-US based just in case.
dbox
Sounds like late night comedy like Conan where they used real supporters with the fake soundtrack to get their reactions to obvious character flaws
retiredoldpainintheass
this is the best example of why trump and his maggot followers are the most frightening thing in the last 15 years.

Takes a lot of deprogramming to get out of this. They'd have you think it was innate and that you'd need to eugenics the thoughts out humanity to save it. we know this cause many of them think they have to do that to purge anything that isn't them.
ThisIsNotMyBonnie
This just helped me categorize these people in my mind so much more efficiently! They seem to have, like a personality disorder, only theirs is a logistical disorder. Unable to process facts or feedback. I hope they all go to hell. ☺️

I wish it was impossible for people to believe in that. I wish it were as impossible as using your bare naked human arms to fly like a bird.

Very neat take. Another way to understand what seems to be un-understandable. I'm gonna carry this with me.

This is also why they are ok with being poor and treated terribly by employers. That’s the caste they were born in. There’s no changing it because that’s the way it’s supposed to be to them.

I read recently that American Christianity (not all of it, obv, but a significant sector) has a particular approach to the absolution of sin that's a bit... whack. Say you do a murder. Your sin would normally be murder. But to these people, your sin is allowing Satan to work through you and do a murder. See? No matter what you do, your only sin is turning away from Jesus-uh and allowing Satan to work through you. It allows them to let-off those in power and condemn utterly those they hate.
Photeus
Really the justification, whatever it is, doesn't matter. Its just an excuse why what is defined as Good isn't doing Good at that moment - its handwaving.
I very much doubt that's limited to the US - the Christian Bible has several things that God does that are morally wrong, yet Christians are taught to make excuses for it. Not that it's only Christians, it's a problem with many religions.
Telemapus
Find me one Christian community that isn't in the US or expatriate-US that believes this "the Devil made me do it" bullshit. It's useful to identify why the US is uniquely awful.
Photeus
I'll see what I can do, but your 'devil made me' is not even what's the root cause, it's just a way to excuse the behavior. There are many different ways to excuse the immoral behavior as long as someone 'good' perpetrated it.

This article from City Church in Lagos indirectly addressed what you're talking about when Paul defines how he was unable to act in 1 Thessalonians 2:18 due to the devil. This ideal is potentially biblical then and the article points out how the devil can still act on people's lives in the short-term (but not the long, implying forgiveness after). Church began from UK.
kailord
On behalf of the UK, past and present, I sincerely and without prevarication, apologise for each and every single, and/or multiple world-class fuck-up on this planet.
Telemapus
Because the flip side is that even if Joe Biden saves a million babies, he still lets Satan work through him to keep abortion legal. Biden is "weak" beause he lets the devil control him. Same with all liberals, doesn't matter what objectively good stuff they do, it's all in the service of Satan, or insufficiently resistive to Satan. And we know they don't resist Satan because they don't praise Jesus-uh.
