Morality, Trump, and the GOP's cognitive dissonance

(complains about the guy paying a 13% tax rate)

So you’ll be voting for the guy who is too afraid to release his taxes, but may not have paid any for as long as 18 years, and who shoveled tax write -offs totaling 480 times Sanders’s net worth (I’ll help you with that basic math; that’s 960 million dollars) on to the backs of American taxpayers to bail out his business ‘successes’?

(I guess while he was also fondling porn stars and fooling around on his wives, too?) : D

I see Rep. King is hoping for a civil war... a real one:

What's the deal with people wanting to water the Tree of Liberty with blood? Crazy.

Right wingers have been preparing for this battle for many years with stockpiling guns and ammunition and mounting high powered artillery and mud flaps on the back of their pickup trucks. They can have their compounds on high alert within a 30-minute window.

Originally these patriots/survivalists/Birchers/Klansmen thought they would be fighting a Russki invasion, but fighting for Trump's misdeeds will be enough for them to pledge their lives and honor. Once the fighting starts, Russki invaders will be more than happy to back the Trump regime.

Don’t forget about truck nuts and rolling coal, b’cuz ‘Murica.

I think you have to do something of a moral dance to balance support of Donald Trump with being a moral person.

I think that in order to really understand just how wide the gulf is between American citizens, one need only to read this thread twice.

I know, right? It’s funny how folks complaining about Bill Clinton and Bernie Sanders based on morality issues will line right up behind Trump. Because morality is very deferential to what one wants for themselves politically, right?

I suppose that we can thank Donald Trump for making the hypocrisy of the claim, as so often used in past days, so ridiculously obvious. ; )

I think you have to do something of a moral dance to balance support of Donald Trump with being a moral person. You remember the 'character counts' mantra? Polls find fewer and fewer Republicans think morality is a important factor in politics.

Oh, it's been obvious for years just how seriously religious people take morality. For them, it's more a topic than a practice. They talk about it without actually worrying about it.

If you believe a god was born of a virgin, walked on water before turning it to wine, was tortured to death in a symbolic sacrifice for all of humanity's sins only to rise to heaven, and all the other attendant nonsense Christianity exclusively peddles, then believing the moron in office deserves support is hardly a stretch. They are well practiced at believing lies; letting his daily lies go unchallenged must be effortless.

Yes, especially now that you've come onto the scene. The ultra Conservative "Christian" who swears he will vote for the lewd narcissist who mocks military heroes, the disabled, women, minorities, etc. The fornicator, the liar, the career cheat, criminal, narcissist etc. simply because he believes Jesus wants him to, and God works in mysterious ways.

Oh wait, that just shows how stupid and hypocritical some Americans are.
