Support NeoGAF

[DietRob]

Hopefully he will be dead in less than a decade. He's incredibly unhealthy and obviously in a mental spiral. His influence will only shrink over time.

 

[Jombie]

I wish hell was real.

 

[Foffy]

What do you call swaths of people who are entirely lost causes to reason?

Hopeless saps? They'd be offended by the truthful term..

 

[SporeCrawler]

THe thing with Trump. Is he can't lose that soft support.

As much as I hate to admit there were a lot of Obama to Trump voters. Those voters can be flipped and he's not doing himself any favors with what he did this past weekend.

i dont see anybody from the republicans impeaching him. hell he could appear in a KKK robe or start shooting people randomly and people would still love him

 

[excelsiorlef]

The women thing makes some sense; for a woman to support Trump they'd have to be HARDCORE. They are a much smaller group afterall.

53% of men voted for Trump. So roughly 28% of men claim they'll never stop supporting him.
42% of women voted for Trump. So roughly 28% of women claim they'll never stop supporting him.

Yep.

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

Hillary was wrong. It´s more than half of his supporters.

 

[prepaidtacosalad]

This is what honestly scares me about any idea of impeachment, these fuckers are bad enough as it is now, they won't just mellow if he got impeached. Since most of them think what the left is doing is just as bad or worse I can totally see them going fucking ape and just burning towns down.

It's unnerving that he can mobilise an angry and unhinged base with a couple of tweets.

Cultists.

Holy shit just imagine that Twitter feed if he was impeached.

 

[Slayer-33]

Disgusting fucking people, the whole lot

 

[gimmmick]

Poll these idiots again when the GOP strips away their health care.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Disturbing fucking number for sure. The Conservative base thrives on stupidity and unconditional devotion, though. The party knows it's their greatest strength so they've done everything to cultivate it.

Clearly it's bore fruit the past couple decades.

Poll these idiots again when the GOP strips away their health care.

They'll blame Obama, Hillary, and the Democrats. You don't seem to get how this works...

 

[RM8]

Sounds about right, Trump winning is a statement, it's a victory. He's not building a wall, he's not doing shit, but his base doesn't care. Maybe they even find it endearing that he's an inept clown, who knows.

Then you burn their houses down.
With your kind of thinking the confederates would have won, and America would still be running on slavery.

 

[mrkgoo]

The poll is really passively asking. There's always a line.

This. And I disagree with the description of 'hardcore supporters'. It's more fanatical. They existed before Trump became a political figure, however!

Once upon a time I was a college Republican, years ago. The girl that ran it was a 20 year old ditzy blonde sorority girl, whom believed women should not be trusted with political power. She made a speech on it, several. She was the president of the entire university chapter. She also happened to be a religious fanatic, and this gets to my point.

One portion of these fanatic supporters are religious fanatics, brought up to support insane ideas, normatter what. Its not stupidity. Im in Texas, and yes, it's normal to see them around. They never move past that crazy fanatic upbringing, unfortunately.

I always saw it as a somewhat abusive parent child relationship thing. Fitting that Trump has become their new parental figure in a way. There's no changing these people. They're practically cultists, and there are a lot more of them than you realize, men and women.

Only half the population voted so more like 14% of men.

 

[Yoshi]

but his cult following will give him an enormous capacity to stir up trouble and discord long after he's left office.

He is 71, will be 78 when he leaves the White House, and in a terrible shape. Chances are, there will be no "long after he's left office" for him.

 

[Mercury Fred]

This is why I mock and belittle them rather than trying to reason with them. Garbage fucking people.

 

[Kurdel]

An honest to god chill went down my spine when I read that.

But I am nexr to the window and it is getting cold, but god damn thats depressing.

 

[BobLoblaw]

Just think of how wonderful this country would be if these people didn't exist.

How do women even like this guy he treats women like shit.

What can you say at this point? Some people like being treated like shit?

 

[prepaidtacosalad]

The fuck is with the personal attack I stated a fear I never said keep the cunt for fucks sake.

Some people like being sheep.

You ever see the inside of Trump tower?

This honestly hits at something I was thinking about driving home for work, how the hell did he get that fanatical following. I mean what exactly was the thing that took him from television clown to idol to these people?

 

[freethoughtbubble]

I refuse to believe it's that many. This is just a fuck you to liberals.

Well, fuck you right back.

 

[Gaius Cassius]

It was just a matter of timing I suppose. The sheep needed someone to herd the flock for a while now. In regards to Republicans in general? Someone post Reagan. It wasn't enough for a lot of the the evangelical Christians to to literally demonize Obama as the antichrist. One can argue that hate fueled them until they found Shepard Trump.

My ex room mate was one of these people. They act on desperation. These people aren't that complicated.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

 

[Isaac Otherworld]

This is what 50 years of brain washing and conditioning Republican voters to follow someone exactly like Trump will do.

 

[Haunted]

They said it could never happen in the USA.


*chuckles

 

[BlueTsunami]

As his base is condensed to the most removed from reality, you have to start moving for the rest. There's a portion of America that are absolutely irredeemable, and dug down in their tribalism.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

Well, they say that...

Good thing is, for getting a second term, he basically needs the all his voters.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Well...there it is.

It's impossible to reach these lunatics, so don't even bother trying.

 

[chaos789]

Trump could go to their homes and rape anyone of their family members, and they would still support him. I am astounded at how morally bankrupt and stupid these people are.

 

[TrutaS]

Ignorance and stubbornness are terrifying when combined. Sadly they also go hand-to-hand most of the times.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

He could lose another 10% but it would take time and a lot of undeniable failure.

Yup, I don't see his approval rating going below 30% as long as gas prices are low and unemployment is too. That day to day stuff is all that matters for many.

 

[nelsonroyale]

Of course they will, given the right circumstances. This is frail human certainty.

 

[Commander Jameson]

How many would still support him if he left the GOP and, say, ran as an independent? Would that not cause huge problems for the Republicans in splitting their vote?

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Thats close to 40 million religiously devoted supporters of President Trump, many of whom are volatile, highly combustible extremists.
Trump is at his most dangerous while he's in the White House, but his cult following will give him an enormous capacity to stir up trouble and discord long after he's left office.
He will be a destabilising, toxic influence in American politics and culture for decades to come.

(lock if old)

I'm pretty sure he'll die of poor health before a decade from this point even elapses. And that's IF he's not in jail.

 

[Chinbo37]

The only way we can get rid of Trump in less than 4 years is if the special investigation finds something.

Something shady enough to turn more representatives against him. The hard core trump voters will never change.


If something like that happened I can see Trump pardoning himself, then resigning (or resigning in exchange from a pardon from Pence but not sure they would try that again after Nixon). Of course he would never admit he did anything wrong but really thats the only chance IMO.

 

[deadduck]

Cultists.

KKKultists

 

[Cow Mengde]

This honestly hits at something I was thinking about driving home for work, how the hell did he get that fanatical following. I mean what exactly was the thing that took him from television clown to idol to these people?

He was constantly attacking Obama on twitter. He made the most over the birth certificate thing.

 

[Oriel]

What do you expect from such a brain-washed cult?

 

[The Real Abed]

This is why we need to take him out ourselves and not let him get a chance to run again. Even if his base is really small, I'd rather not take that chance.

 

[mclem]

I live in Los Angeles.

Allow me to tell you what I've had women tell me.

"He has the right idea. Most women don't know what's best for them. A woman's place is in the kitchen? I mean, were those times that bad?"

In liberal Southern California.

There's a reason they call it blissful ignorance.

 

[uncelestial]

These voters talk big but they probably gave this question about half a second's thought and haven't even begun to see the havoc this piece of shit can wreak if he is allowed to serve his full term.

Also:

He will be a destabilising, toxic influence in American politics and culture for decades to come.

Decades? He's over 70 and not exactly a paragon of health.

This nightmare *will* end, people.
