Recently seen on TV. Interviewer asked a typical looking middle aged magat woman what she would do if Trump lost the election, she answered after a little thought which

one would think she never does, "I'll kill myself". Then I thought, gee, if trump could get all the magats to drink the cool aid when he loses ( if he actually does run) then we would be rid of them forever, or whatever.

What on earth does she think TFF*G will do for her that's so great that she's willing to die for him? Increase taxes on her while decreasing them on the rich? End Social Security so she'll have to work until she drops dead? Put her kids in a camp when she can't afford any medical care for them because ACA is gone? On the other hand: What on earth does she think Ds will do her that's so bad? Fix SS and Medicare? Increase taxes on the rich? Fix the roads in her red state? Help her when a tornado wipes out her home? . . . . . . What the heck is wrong with these people?

I really wonder if such people can explain why their lives were so glorious when Trump was president and so hellish when anyone else is president.

Their "team" is winning.

And apparently their "team" "winning" is a matter of life or death, even if their lives are otherwise the same. /s

Perversely, I think the right wing propaganda machine thrives when the other "team" is winning. It's a lot easier to manufacture hate and outrage that way. It's not as easy playing defense for their own "team."

And they were sick of it, but now they're back for second helpings.
