Troll Bridge

The Republicans have gone NUTS in the last 24 hours.  After President Joe Biden banned Russian oil imports to prevent American dollars from supporting their evil slaughter of innocent Ukrainians, something which was achieved via a fairly large bipartisan majority, Republican spin doctors immediately began screaming about how Joe Biden was directly responsible for raising gas prices.  When the White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki corrected that notion and specifically mentioned the current 9000 oil and gas leases the oil and gas industry already have in hand that are not being utilized as a contributing factor to limited gas and oil production, they lost their freaking minds.

Nothing angers Republicans today like a proud Democrat using facts to defend their position. NOTHING!

I could spend this blog post talking about how the real culprits in regards to gas price increases are the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the unused 9000 gas and oil leases not being utilized (by intention), and about how Trump in April of 2020 specifically coordinated a worldwide 10% decrease in oil production, knowing it would lead to soaring gas prices (if Trump won in 2020, he could use the high gas prices to justify opening up all the pristine wilderness to drilling/If Biden won, Republicans could blame him directly for something he did not do [WHICH THEY HAVE!]), but I want to address the mindset of these clowns.

Trump Republicans are in a delusional state today.  Most of them were 15 time losers, many of whom were racists, who couldn't get out of their own way, living a life full of angry bitterness, constantly running their endless would've, could've, should've scenarios in their mind.  Trump changed that.  He looked at them and said "you're not the loser, EVERYONE ELSE IS!"  They gobbled it up.  He recklessly validated the losers, knowing their blind allegiance would never subside.

But Trump lost, and not only that but he's become an endless embarrassment of scandals and anti-American behavior.  The Trump Republican's golden calf is now a hollow shell of it's former self, but considering the Trump Republicans are determined to never go back to reality, incapable of looking in the mirror and saying "wow! I'm the screw up!," they have decided they will gladly sink on the USS Trump.

My daughter asked me to describe the mindset of the modern Trump Republican and I can up with four distinct features.

1) They will do ANYTHING to avoid having to acknowledge a reality or fact they disagree with.  Trump didn't lose.  Trump was the smartest president of all time. Trump was beloved on the world stage. Trump did a fantastic job with CoronaVirus! These delusional gems are just part of the daily affirmations the standard Trump Republican has to believe.  They even go as far as believing things which contradict other things they believe; stuff like: 1/6 wasn't an insurrection, but Antifa was behind the 1/6 insurrection! Even when the world plays along with them, like in Arizona, with the election recount.  They were allowed to control every aspect of that investigation into the wrong doing they KNEW happened.  When they found no wrong doing at all, do they sit back and say "I guess we were wrong"?  NOPE! They are so convinced of the lie they just keep muttering how the election was fraudulent and EVERYONE knows it.  

They lies they convince themselves are truths are infallible in their mind, and they will NEVER not believe their made up 'truths,' even when it whacks them in the face like a 2 X 4.

2) They speak with conviction and confidence on things they know absolutely nothing about.  It is stunning.  Used to be if you didn't know about something, you said nothing. Only fools or grifters tried to sound authoritative beyond their ability.  Today, the standard Republican will tell you everything you need to know about politics, racial relations, societal breakdowns, foreign policy, medicine, voting, Russia, Ukraine, oil production, the stock market...no matter what, they all pretend to know what is REALLY going on. They don't have a freaking clue.

3) They create super villains.  It's my theory, down deep inside, most Republicans know Trump is a horrible person.  They do, but to allow themselves to feel like they are on the right side of it all, they create super villains to compare Trump with, so they can feel better about supporting him.  Example: "Sure Trump is a horrible person who clearly treats women, veterans, minorities and the poor horrifically, and seems to be a very dishonest person, but Hillary Clinton kills babies and has Satanic rituals in the basement of a Maryland pizza parlor, so I'm on the right side of this argument.  He might not be perfect, but we're fighting the devil people!"  They convince themselves these outrageous slanders are real and this is how they walk around with a clear conscious.

4) They will always consider themselves to be victims.  They are the biggest whiners I've ever met.  There is nothing they can't turn into a slight against them.  They go on television and scream their 1st Amendment Rights are violated.  They scream their rights are being taken away if you merely suggest equal rights for all people. The same people who mocked and taunted Democrats for four years of Trump can't stop blubbering about how they're the victims of a massive conspiracy to cheat them of their golden idol.  And when it came to the pandemic...SWEET LORD! Used to be we would tolerate mild inconvenience as long are we were stopping needless suffering and needless death.  Not anymore!  You need to wear a mask, "You're forcing me to wear a face diaper!" We are going to shut down schools to prevent a massive outbreak, "I don't care about the health of teachers, why aren't you doing what I want?" And suggest a vaccine to prevent the outbreak from getting worse, "You are trying to turn me into a lizard person!"  

In their minds, if they'e not the victim, then even they realize they're just massive douche bags.  They will never admit their own faults, so they quickly jump aboard the victimhood train! 

I'm not saying understanding all of this makes it any easier to deal with these clowns, but what it does do is give you an idea if someone is even worth your time.  It's gotten to the point where I can spy a waste of my time in the first sentence of their social media post.  You start to see the tell tale signs of a Trump Republican, save your brain cells and just block them.  I do, and I love it.  Down deep inside, what Trump Republicans want is to be validated, so by ignoring them, you are denying them of their much desired attention. 

Every time I block a troll, a Trump Republican sheds a tear.  I'm okay with that.
