This is the perfectly wrong place to ask this question because even those that have supported him (outside of maybe one) on here have jumped ship but WHY DO PEOPLE STILL FOLLOW THIS MAN??? I'm with you, I don't understand it at all. I got it in the beginning, maybe he'd be anti-establishment and really get some things done. I remember having the convo with my dad on election night in 16 and thought 'he won't keep up this act once in office, he'll become more presidential' but instead he went the other direction and has only gotten worse. At this point what does anyone see in him that is positive?

You got me man. I really can’t understand it, I find it astounding how many older middle manager type men I know who fawn all over him.

These range from uneducated but self made hard working extremely experienced guys, all the way to well educated MBA types. It’s completely baffling, as all of these same men loathe the type of employees that mirror Trumps behavior. IE the lazy, whiney, incompetent, idiots who have a million grievances.
 
A Trump endorsed Republican congressional candidate is on record opposing women's suffrage. He said America has suffered as a result of women's suffrage. In an article he wrote women are not as smart as men and don't possess the attributes to vote.

And he spelled possess incorrectly.

Rachel Richardson is a 19 year old star volleyball player at Duke. Her team played a road game at BYU. She is the only Black starter on either team. Throughout the game she was taunted with racial slurs, n word, and threats. Game officials, BYU coaches, bystanders did nothing.
One person was later banned from BYU sports although many more than one person participated in abuse. Afterwards athletic director read a written statement that BYU has zero tolerance for what they had just tolerated and said visitors should be treated with love and respect. Unless they are Black or gay.
Richardson said she was helped by her team having gone through A Long Talk, an educational series on roots of racism and how to help prevent and end racism. Unfortunately, this series is being banned in schools in Texas, Florida and elsewhere since it can make whit people uncomfortable and besides, racism is no longer a problem, right?

Academically BYU is pretty good but otherwise I've never understood nor agreed with a lot of their beliefs such as why they treated Blacks different for so long. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Ha, ha, so now you expect Trump to be able to spell or read a Dick and Jane book?

He was considered greatest baseball player in New York by himself, maybe.

Everyone else considered his contemporary New Yorker Mickey Mantle.....

The things that Ruth did on both sides of the game though. Not sure Mantle tops that regardless of era.

Understand. But the claim has been made by previous guy he was greatest New York baseball player of his era. That's what I was referencing when I said Mantle.

Wait?
The rest of the story-

But Slate found some of his old stats as a player for the New York Military Academy and they don’t exactly scream MLB talent. Partial records uncovered by the website revealed a .138 batting average over the nine games.

One baseball writer who also worked as a scout for the Toronto Blue Jays offered up a blunt assessment when asked if Trump sounded like a prospect.


“There’s no chance,” said Keith Law of The Athletic, adding:

“You don’t hit .138 for some podunk, cold-weather high school playing the worst competition you could possibly imagine. You wouldn’t even get recruited for Division I baseball programs, let alone by pro teams. That’s totally unthinkable. It’s absolutely laughable. He hit .138 — he couldn’t fucking hit, that’s pretty clear.”

Hopefully Keith Law isn’t considering a run for office as a Republican, as he sure won’t be getting Trumps endorsement now.
 
Texas governor Abbott seemed vulnerable. Decaying energy grid and anti woman policies. But since he began the stunt of shipping refugees all over the country his popularity has gone up.

Not enough to be the in crowd. Part of the joy of being in crowd is having an outsider. Someone to whom any abuse is acceptable because they are "they".

I think people are actually having less sex... That's not a good combo.

I think males, especially younger ones, are having sex less, but women are more promiscuous with a small number of guys. The online BS.

One of the Proud Boys just vomited a long screed about women are ugly and smell awful. Even mom. He must have really been rejected. Can't say I blame the women.
