My god when Trump did his presidential announcement way back when, I was thinking this is going to be a weird few months while he does this publicity thing and then doesn’t get elected and we’ll never talk about him again until his next weird announcement. Here we are 8 years later. What a ride it’s been. I literally don’t think we could have come up with this in 2012. We wouldn’t have been creative enough.
Yeah, when he entered the race, it was hilarious. You were able to distance yourself from the hilarious things and the horrible things he’d say about Marco Rubio, or Ted Cruz, or JEB! (please clap) Bush, because he’d never win. But as he crept closer to the nomination, it got less funny and more horrifying every day.
I loved the interview when he was like ‘‘mexicans, man fuck all of them racially’’ and the wet nossle shit stick interviewing him is all ‘‘oh that sounds quite racist… try saying hispanic or Latino people and say it’s only the illegal ones you hate, it sounds less openly racist’’
Like, good job asshole, you just helped him convince the stupidest non racists around that he’s not openly racist. We really needed that to happen. His constant grooming to say shit that ment what he still always ment but wasn’t just unbelievably blatant really pissed me off. How about DON’T help him, ask questions like ‘what IS wrong with the blacks’ and let him speak his mind. Why are you fucking helping him!!

I think you greatly underestimate the amount of racism in the U.S. and the amount of people who will tolerate a racist even if they don’t really have any racist feelings themselves if they think it will get them some sort of benefit.
Trump appealed to both.
I don’t think anyone was under any illusion that the “when Mexico sends its people, its not sending its best” speech was anything but racist.
I don’t disagree with whare you’re saying, but I’ve talked to a lot of people that didn’t understand it was deeply racist, but also these are people I know have been consuming ‘‘illegals’’ are the root of all problems media, so I’m not sure they care at all about not being racist, I’d generally say they weren’t racist in action or speech, but these are people who have a severe disinterest in anything past the surface thinking. For context I live in a rural area, I’m Hispanic, and pretty sensitive to the blatant racism against Hispanics in the Republican party from Bob Dole on.
When he actually got elected i thought it’s gonna take a few month and then even gis fanclub realizes that he’s not a president, smart, or hardly a human being. Then it’s gonna drag on, he’s not gonna get re elected and even the people who voted for him go: yeah, i don’t know who voted for him, that was crazy, right?
But now the brain-dead pedophile convicted criminal rapist is apparently still the best they have to offer.
Dude I remember seeing the first debate before going on a backpacking trip with my parents.
My parents at the time I considered Republican, but not conservative. When they saw the debate they laughed and made jokes that the dude will never win.
Then when I came closer to the election, they turned around. Thinking he was awesome and the answer to the “government” problem.
Now, they aren’t hard-line Trump supporters, but their views have definitely changed towards being a lot more conservative. I’ve seen their stances change quite a bit since then.

And the few who have turned on him now prefer the guy who literally had a worm eat part of his brain.
This reality must be satire.

I’m sorry for your loss.
