People support him because he reflects their values and character. He reflects their souls.

I referenced this recently but it's worth sharing in full

I first saw this on a plaque on The Sydney Writers Walk. It was one of those 'stopped in your tracks' moments

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Saw yesterday's "things can happen" clip about Brown, while in Providence, everyone I know is suspended in grief and fear. Today, the repulsive post about a beloved man and his wife being stabbed to death. There is no bottom. That's his whole secret: nothing vile he won't say, if he gets attention.

Thinking an awful lot about Wake Up, Dead Man, and how Josh Brolin’s Monsignor Wicks tightens his hold on his dwindling flock by demonstrating their cowardice when he says shit so revolting that others walk out.

Every single reporter there needs to hold the line on this too.

Don't throw him a lifeline with another question if he dodges. Have each other's backs and demand he answer the question.
Just to get ahead of this: Print the post out and bring it to the next Mike Johnson presser. You already know what his move will be. There’s no excuse to not be prepared for it.

Chimps in Zambia have been making the fashion choice of putting grass in their ears for years, even though it's visibly uncomfortable. Now they're putting grass and sticks(!) in their butts. For fashion.

I only have a picture of the grass thing, thank god.

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

Just remember, Trump is unloved & despised by all around him. He destroys everything he touches whereas Rob Reiner made the world an easier place to deal with because of the joy his films gave us.
He believed in people respecting & helping each other.
Trump knows that and hates it.
Fuck him.

If billionaires loved art, they have the means and opportunities to support artists. The fact that they are trying to cut the artists out of the loop to just make you pay THEM to use their shitty tools shows they couldn't give less of a shit about art.

This reads like he and his comms guy wrote it together. Comms guy started out good and decent, then trump looked over his shoulder like "that's weak! Gimme this phone" after a few min of Trump's furious typing comms dude manages to get the phone back, quickly types the last sentence, and hits send.
