Kinzinger said, “I’ve had a lot of anecdotal people call and say like a good friend said my dad was a super MAGA, he hated Adam and loved Donald Trump. He’s all in against Donald Trump because he believes he’s been lied to. But look, yeah, there may be a certain set of voters that will never pay attention. Their kids will.”
He added, “I’m going to tell you, I truly believe in my heart in five years, maybe not five but definitely ten, you’re not going to be able to find a single person that admits to supporting or voting for Donald Trump in this country because they’re going to be embarrassed because their kids are going to say, ‘You actually supported Donald Trump? Are you kidding me?’ And they’re going to be like, no, no, we didn’t — like trying to find a Nixon supporter a couple of years after he resigned. I got to tell you, your kids, to my fellow Republican congressmen, stand up and speak out, or your kids will be ashamed of having that last name. I’m not saying that to be mean. That’s just a fact.”
Having voted for Trump twice - reluctantly the first time, having stood in line for 3+ hours the second - I know and interact with a TON of Trump supporters. Probably a crap ton; maybe even a sh*t ton.
I don't know a single one who doesn't feel the same way: "don't love him; love the policies, love the results." We really are MAGA people, not Trump followers.
So, I'm trying to say that, like every single thing that comes out of the demonrat's cake holes (euphemism) that they accuse the right of being or doing, it's projection. How they think, and more importantly, how they feel, is how they believe everyone thinks and feels. They worshipped the Won, so they believe conservatives worship Trump. They cannot fathom anything else.
Racism, hatred, bigotry, discrimination, sexism, cult of personality...hell, we could make a list a mile long, and it all boils down to the fact that what they accuse conservatives of is an inherent, integral part of their own natures. If you could excise those parts of them, they'd implode. Or at least collapse like letting the air out of a balloon. Removing the "isms" and the "ists" from a lefty's id, if one could do that, would cause them to cease to exist. That's why logic, reason, demonstrable facts don't work on them. Their egos are so puffed up with the "isms" and the "ists" that it's like shoveling sand against the rising tide.
In fact, speaking of facts, demonstrable facts have the opposite affect on the left than they do on conservatives. Example: lowest unemployment rate ever for AAs, and not because of long-term unemployment removing them from statistical analysis. No, highest employment figures ever removes blacks (and others traditionally considered an immutable part of the Demonrat base); removes their dependency on them; removes the hold Demonrats have over them. The Demonrat pol response is always the same: they lay on the floor, kick their feet, ball their little fists up, and have epic meltdowns. Then they commit to doing WHATEVER IT TAKES to re-consolidate their power, to bring those traitorous pets back onto their plantation, even if it means destroying this country.
That doesn't make any sense to conservatives; we don't think that way. Hell, we may not even be constitutionally capable of thinking that way. Hell, we don't even decimate our enemies in war (except as a last resort), let alone peacetime. Never forget:
"An evil enemy will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes." - Sun Tzu
