Trump has brain damage and that's not an insult, it's a fact.

Do you really think that anybody who could be accurately described as "mentally ill" is fit to lead the free world?
I think Trump's an idiot, but strawmanning his supporters isn't really going to do much aside from give them ammunition for the "whiny liberal echo chamber, just accept you lost" crowd.

He is mentally ill he just hasn't been diagnosed.
How delusional and paranoid is this guy? Are his MAGA hats foil-lined, too?

He didn't, good attempt at virtue signalling there though. Better luck next thread?
I've seen a frightening amount of conservatives elsewhere defending this with "just because he hasn't presented any evidence doesn't mean there isn't any!"
jesus christ this thread got grimy
i guess the void left from the absence of evidence needs to be filled by shitposting

Anybody who still supports him and his administration isn't worth bothering with. After everything that's gone on, you'd have to be a complete imbecile to still have any faith left in them. They lie routinely to us (the American people) and to the government, they lie to the news, they try to silence their critics and put down the media for exposing them, they're trying to prop themselves up like a nasty little clique of wannabe autocrats... there's no reason to be saying at this point, "Just give him/them a chance guys!" We're well past that.
You're not going to get through to these people (supporters I mean). You can't. You can try reasoning with them and using facts and debate all you want, but the underlying (and irreconcilable) problem is they live in their own little world of "alternative facts", and anything that doesn't conform to their horribly ignorant worldview that you try and teach them about is simply going to be ignored. And they will also learn to ignore you as well because you don't agree with them. As soon as you start disagreeing with them, then as far as they're concerned your credibility is nonexistent.
I don't know how to say it any clearer: these are people who openly and unashamedly reject the parts of reality that they don't like so they can tailor things to suit their overall political agenda. There's not going to be any breakthrough moments had with them. If it isn't inherent dishonesty that makes them this way (and they are being dishonest; they're lying to themselves as much as they are to others), then it's stupidity (or both, which makes for a [i]super fun[/i] combination). The "reason with them" approach sounds polite and sensible, but it's absolutely meaningless.
My belief is those that still support Trump think that the democrats or the left are still far worse. Or they have some way to profit out of it, for example fox news.
Most supporters are supporting out of spite, not out of their own beliefs that the system is working.
It's pathetic but sadly true.

Most Trump supporters I know personally and ones I've observed on the internet genuinely support the guy, to a degree that he is essentially infallible. I've had conversations with people where the only flaw they see in his presidency so far is that he isn't moving fast enough or going as far as is necessary.

I knew one who looked up to him as some sort of god that could do no wrong. To a point where he banned me from his discord three times and said shit like "Go stone some gays you britbong jihadi fuck" and "(me) is a fucking commie in arms" whatever that means.

Trump is completely unhinged, but "Trump has brain damage" is not in any way a fact -- unless you have access to the dude's medical records to back that up?
