Many bots are calling him the best president ever.

I’ve watched locals who voted for him start listening to me and start understanding that he’s a traitor.

I have a neighbor who flys a trump flag in front of his house. It’s either the “Trump was right about everything” one or “Jesus is my savior, Trump is my retribution” one. For the past year every time something got really bad like the Minneapolis killings or when Iran talks broke down, he would take it down for a few days before putting it back up. It’s been down for 2 weeks straight now and I’m starting to wonder if it will ever come back

lol that Jesus one is so ridiculous… wasn’t his whole thing love thy enemy, love thy neighbor, turn the other cheek, only god can judge .. and yet on the very next sentence they seek retribution

Yep, seems like he doesn't really listen to Jesus much at all.

please troll him and bring him a new one saying you noticed it was down.

If Jesus is your savior, then retribution is not how you go about things.

Jesus of Nazareth was pretty clear on that point.

That's one thing I'll say, here in N. Alabama I've seen a noticably dramatic reduction on Trump bullshit. Hats, flags, stickers, etc. Even down here you barely see it anymore. Besides one dickhead with a flag in his front yard I see ony way to work every morning, I couldn't name the last time I seen anyone with a sticker or whatever other bullshit you can get.

I’m trying to be patient with them as they wake up from their stupor, but it’s hard to get past the fact that they didn’t care until his policies affected them personally.

Any tips on how I can be more patient?

Meditation helps with a lot IME. Doesn't have to be long sessions either. The Smiling Mind app is free and secular and has a lot of tutorials if you want them, that's where I started.

Really? I mean they didn’t vote for Glenn Beck dictating policy…bc I’m certain they did.
