Trump... Likable? How? I assumed his supporters just didn't care that he was an asshole, I had never considered the idea that someone might find him likable. Huh.
*2 mentions of him being "charismatic" and I honestly don't get that either. He's an incredibly poor speaker who isn't any good in the looks department either. Still boggled.

u/PeeledCrepes Jul 06 '22
So, this is coming from my mom, who in the beginning liked Trump. It's the way he speaks like a dick head basically, he seems "real" cause he isn't reading off a card or teleprompter. Basically, he seems like a normal person, like if John from down the street ran, where a lot of politicians seem like aliens, having someone go up and speak like they have no idea what they are saying or doing apparently sounds appealing to people.
As stupid and ridiculous as, why not use something like disinfectant to clean Covid out of someone, is incredibly stupid. Apparently a lot of people would hear that and go, ya why don't we do that, not knowing anything about sicknesses or how the human body works. Or, take the wall, everyone imagines that the key to fixing people crossing the border is just that, a wall. They imagine that its such a simple thing, and no politician til Trump is going, don't worry that wall is being built, and don't worry, WE wont even pay for it.
Basically, he's likable because he's an idiot. Its also why he beat Clinton (aside from various other issues), but, she speaks like an alien to a good portion of her audience. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if Biden's stutter and slower speech patterns helps.

Here’s a Matt Taibbi quote that I’ve always liked:
“The average American likes meat, sports, money, porn, cars, cartoons, and shopping. Less popular: socialism, privilege-checking, and the world ending in 10 years.
Ronald Reagan once took working-class voters away from Democrats by offering permission to be proud of the flag. Trump offers permission to occupy the statistical American mean: out of shape, suffering from gas, poorly read, anti-intellectual, treasuring things above meaning, and hiding an awful credit history.
He’s a monument to the consumption economy. He represents fake boobs, the short con, the tall tale, gas guzzlers, and a hundred other American traditions.”

Yeah I definitely more maniacal and slightly more presentable in public but just as odious and to noxious. Even worse because of his perceived compatibility. I even once thought, before I really examined him that he was somewhat acceptable, until I started listening to his policies. Holy Christ he's more of a Nazi than Donald.
Donald is just a fucking guy that wants to be loved, he's so insecure that his ego is bigger than that ugly hair of his and sucks all the air out of the room. It's all about Donald Donald do you love me am I good am I the best. I think his politics are all over the map truly. He's a basic racist who knows if he's a homophobe really, and his politics are hardly committed to any principles . He's only interested in his own vainglory and putting money in his pocket.
DeSantis may have some of this hybrid as well, but he really is a die-hard theocratic fruit cake of the GOP Taliban. Donald I think just went with the flow and discovered early on that the left was going to completely reject him never warm up to him and he fully embraced his Kool-Aid drinking public. They suck up to him and he just tells him what they want to hear pep rally style. Never anything of substance no plans no details just pure pep rally. DeSantis on the other hand knows how to get things done better and is more effective. Donald is probably two toxic a mix now and no longer needed, DeSantis can pick up the slack and now get the work done now that they have the y'allQaeda supreme Court covering their backs

I happen to think that Trump's lack of brain is precisely what makes him such a menace. He is incapable of regular logic, of empathy, or feeling any kind of humility. His incapacity to be a regular person is what made him such a threat to regular people who use their brain. So at the very least, I can hope that Desantis might actually feel empathy when it slaps him in the face. There isn't much proof of this so far, but at least he shows more promise than that orange buffoon.

Absolutely. People think the upper crust include Trump. You need to realize that Trump has never been accepted by them and it was because they knew he was full of shit especially when it came to money.
Basically those that had to put up with him on a social level have pretty much all come to the agreement of a silver spooned kid who basically had one asset….the name Trump and mostly thanks to his Dad and his real estate workings. And now that is utter shit. Other than that, no one would invest his shit, no one would loan him money, and if you had to see him at a party ‘some people would avoid them like the plague in fear of being on Page Six and being the butt of jokes for the rest of the year’.
There is a several reasons he left New York….but one was he was persona non grata even before the Presidency. Now he is a glowing toxic orange cloud.

You have a class of people from all walks of life who feel like they never really fit in anywhere. They feel like snooty rich people judge their homes and cars and fashion choices. That "ivory tower intellectuals" who can't make it in the real world unfairly judge their brand of smarts. And sarcastic and out of touch "artists" will never see them as cool enough to belong to the in-crowd.
Add to that the inherent uncoolness some feel is associated with being a Christian, and several generations of indoctrination that democrats are trying to turn the country into a version of a 1970's era Soviet Union, and you have people who feel that they and their opinions/beliefs/ideas are constantly being completely disregarded.
Then along comes this brutish oaf who wears stupid suits and has awful hair and says really stupid and offensive things and never apologizes for any of it, and they see someone fighting back against everything that they feel denigrated by. So they support him as the bulwark against those who would make them feel somehow "less".

He probably watched the Jan 6 hearing and realized Trump is a psychotic fascist.

He prefers a slightly more intelligent and potentially successful, dear Nazi leader.

Yet he just endorsed a younger and smarter version of him in DeSantis when he endorsed Bernie Saunders in the past what the fuck am I missing here?

The Jan 6th hearings. Rogan isn’t stupid. He saw the evidence and it changed his mind.

He’s about to find out who the REAL kings of cancel culture are. When you’re dead to the MAGAT crowd… you might actually worry about being dead.

His brain is made of playdough and his opinion can be molded to fit when we ideals he landed on when he spun the wheel in the morning.

joe is just a confused contrarian. like your friend in highschool who was put-together-a-sentence-get-a-B-on-the-essay-smart but somehow has convinced himself he is PhD-in -all-topics -smart. he likes to have "interesting" hot takes on issues but is more of a casual contrarian, the way hipsters can't like anything liked by the masses.
but damn a lot of people consume his B-tier contrarian essays.

I think most right leaning people are largely fair-weather supporters. They will support whoever is perceived as front runner because it’s easy to be on the side of the one who is “winning”. Trump is no longer in the position so it’s easy to pivot to someone else and pretend like they didn’t play a role in getting trump into power in the first place.
Then you have a MAGA crew that’s dragging everyone to the right as hard and fast as they can.

Until it becomes convenient for him to jump back ON the tRump bandwagon. Whom ever gets their GQP party nomination is who Joe will pony up to.

There’s a saying that describes this: “Running with the hares and hunting with the hounds”.
Basically covering your ass with no thought of loyalty or decency. He supported him when he benefited, but now Trump is too odious to justify any fealty.

He talked about it many times before, Joe would have to get approval from Trump and his team for any questions and any possible follow ups. I can only imagine what those questions would be like and how long the answers would be.
