    We really need to address how so many people have “being correct” confused with “people don’t tell me I’m wrong”.

    I used to walk by the same crazy person on a street corner that would yell about all types of crazy random shit. Hundreds if not thousands of people walked by them every day, and 99.999% of them wouldn’t engage to tell them they’re wrong.

    Only an idiot like trump would proclaim that means people agree with them.

    But this stupid fuck really thinks that changing a name changes reality. I don’t think they have the object permanence to realize these are real things happening outside of their view. If they can’t see it, they just want to hear good things so they can pretend everything is good.

    They don’t give a fuck about reality, they just get mad when someone doesn’t let them stick their heads in the sand.

    They can’t/won’t/don’t accept reality, and that’s why logic doesn’t work.

      The secret that’s not a secret is if he keeps reporters reporting on stupid shit he says that doesn’t mater or renaming stuff that can be changed right back and doesn’t mater. Its less reporting on shady shit he is doing or the stuff he is not doing to improve the lives of the American people. He may be a moron but people in his orbit have found something that works that was engineered back to the 70s after Nixon.

        You’re talking about a gish gallop… Invented long before Nixon by the Russians.

        But you’re also wrong in thinking its working.

        trump supporters are legitimately not happy with trump right now.

      Trump literally only cares about distracting from people talking about him being a child rapist.

    We make fun of this but these people understand the power of words.

    The propaganda is likely to work on some level.

      If we ever have free elections in the future, whoever the next president is should order that Donald John Trump be officially and irrevocably renamed to Orange Adolph Hitler, and all of Trump’s properties be seized, demolished, and rebuilt into affordable housing.

    Super is fine for the average Joe, I’m personally holding out for the Pro and Ultra model renames next year.
