Why are Trump Supporters so mentally ill?

Question

I don’t honestly mean the ones who dislike him, but can acknowledge the positive things he’s done. I’m speaking about these conservatives that see Trump as all good and Liberals as all bad. This doesn’t refer to conservatives as a whole. I’ve meant and discussed some things with some very intelligent and respectful conservatives. We may disagree on some points, and we agree on some. There’s just this group of these retarded ass conservatives who think Trump does no wrong, and the world’s problems are all from liberals. They say they aren’t biased against any sort of group, then actively try to put down and belittle a said group that supports their equality. Almost as if they’re saying “Yeah, you’re cool with me, as long as you stay in an inferior position in society to me.” They believe this false narrative that the election was stolen, trying to pretend like it was a peaceful protest when the insurrectionists chanted to hang Pence, crushed a cop between doors, somebody brought a gun to kill Peloski, cops had to retreat to a more defendable position (These trumpsters claim cops waved them in, as if that were legal). I honestly can’t understand someone being the level of stupid to believe this. You got to be clinically delusional or something.

There is video that shows cops standing by an open door just letting protesters walk right in. There is a video that shows Ashlee Babbitt being gunned down while she was entering through a broken window. There are cops standing behind her with assault weapons just watching. This has been show on TV but not on CNN or the networks so you probably did not see it.
There are hundreds of hours of video that were taken by the internal cameras in the Capitol that will not be released to the public. Does this ever make you wonder why? Is it because it will show a group of mostly peaceful protesters walking through the Capitol.
Trump supporters are mostly American citizens that are sick of seeing our country getting sold to foreign governments and having a government that is largely incompetent and does not serve the best interests of most Americans.
Trump's America First policies delivered what he promised. Low energy prices, secure southern border, better trade agreements, NATO allies paying their fair share and many other important things that Americans really care about.
Most Americans do not care about pronouns and want criminals to be locked up. If that makes people crazy, then sign me up.

Well it's actually a 100% confirmed fact that cops waved the protestors in because it is actually legal for citizens to be in the Capitol, but to answer your question; people who support Trump are people who are extremely unhappy with the direction they see the country going. They saw Trump as someone who wasn't going to forget them, in a country being led by people who already had forgotten them.

As far as the Jan 6th stuff goes; it was 1000% preventable at any time by the left, but we chose to ignore it. All we had to do was entertain the conversation in good faith, but we refused to do that. If our election was legitimate, there was no reason to worry, but instead we told those people to shut up. The Trumpers wanted to investigate the results of the election legally and they kept getting stonewalled by the courts. These were rarely refusals to hear the case based on the arguments being made, they were refusals on procedural grounds. So, after months of being denied their day in court, they lashed out; it's pretty understandable, honestly.

The left could have stopped Jan 6th at any time. All we had to do is stop being shitty and condescending for a few moments. This shit is on us.

They're just normal who got fooled by conspiracy theories. It could have been any of us. GOP has spent years trying to mold US ethics into something they can control (fox news, fake christians). Trump picked the fruit before it was ripe and nearly cost the party a split. I don't know me rant :/

Most people who voted from Trump never really liked his personality. However they recognized and (rightfully) abhorred the increasingly powerful and authoritarian push by the radical left which began picking up major steam in Obama’s second term. Trump was a walling talking middle finger to all that crap along with his smart fiscal policy that out the United States in an excellent economy prior to the pandemic.

Can you honestly say the USA is in better shape now with the Biden administration vs. when Trump was in office given hyperinflation, being on a verge of recession, weak foreign policy, a major war in the Ukraine and a border crisis? Was it worth it to elect a senile president who can’t even remember what he had for breakfast every morning?

Also the left went ballistic with the phrase “Trump supporters” like anyone who voted for trump was a Nazi Brownshirt. You may not be like that but LOTs and i do mean way too many leftists were.

Funny you don’t hear the phrase “Biden supporter” being thrown around despite the fact our country has REAL serious issues to deal with now (namely the economy) vs mean tweets by Trump.

You hit the nail on the head when you said "delusional". Trump has NPD... its a real thing. For some reason, there's just a group of equally insane people who, as you said, believe he's never done anything wrong, ever. They are truly whacked, and I don't know how to explain it.

I've spoken with Trumpers who've said, and I quote " He's NEVER lied to the American people about ANYTHING. It's the liberal news people who lie". I pressed them and gave specific examples of outright lies and total, 100% fabrications, about the littlest of things, forget the big ones. Their response was - "I never heard that. All I know is that if Trump said, it's true. He never lies". How do you even converse with someone like that? Hmmm... you don't. You can't.

We get the same in this country too, i think its a huge mixture of things, sometimes people find it hard to admit they were wrong, so rather than retreat back they dig down harder. The media portraying "liberals" as horrible people never helps, in the UK most newspapers are owned by people in bed with the conservatives, so oddly all headlines are anti left. Yesterday one was having a go at construction workers for "going woke and discussing feelings at work", this being one of the highest suicide industries.

Also yesterday a politician for the current government retweeted about the rail strike we have and said "this is what future under the (left) Labour party would look like"... literally happening now after 12 years in power with right wing governments! but they won't take responsibility, but you know the idiot supporters will lap it up. It is just people who won't face reality... for reasons?

I don't see him as all good but I support most of his policies. I understand why people don't like him (he's kind of a living shitpost) but my issue is the mainstream media lies about what he says ("Nazis are fine people" and "drink bleach" for example) and blame him for things he had no control over (George Floyd, leaving covid measures to the states, perhaps the virus itself, kids in cages etc). You don't have to do any of that to criticize him.

For example, I don't like the policy he put in that made everyone who owned bump stocks felons overnight as it was a violation of the 2nd amendment. I don't like that he said that burning the flag should be punishable by law, violation of 1st, thankfully that didn't come to be. I also don't like when he said that video games cause violence, a popular topic of psychological study for decades and never came out to be true.

The election was stolen, the left is way worse than the right at this moment in history, and Trump while still a lying politician and not to be trusted is the best president I’ve seen in my lifetime. At the end of the day, government IS slavery no matter who gets in. Anarchy is the way

I just skipped all of your drivel to ask why you’re still talking about a man who is yesterday’s news?

Oh that’s right. Because you’re obsessed and can’t stop talking about him. And that’s frankly pretty pretty pretty fucking pathetic.

Psychologists call this "confirmation bias". I don't have space to explain it here so I suggest you search for the term online. Of course beliefs that have no basis in fact such as "Biden stole the election" are pure delusion.
