    Trump also admitted that his Space Force move to Alabama was solely his decision and completely political. It's always about what helps trump.

    Oh, I got your name right. You are notorious on these forums for your lies and misstatements. And you repeat your insanity with the above. We don't think you support Trump because you voted for him, we know you support him because of your continual statements and blind loyalty to a traitor and a coward.

The first 2 planes landing to pick up people would be carrying extra personnel and equipment if needed. Without an existing road to use, they would need closer to 20-24 hours to pour concrete continuously and have it usable. That's 24 hours to build an airstrip controlled by allied forces to evacuate people easily. And currently the ambassador is telling people not to go to kabul airport. This is easily doable, why is it not being done?
    You literally have no idea what you're talking about. And while Biden has already made a number of mistakes with the Afghan withdrawal, I'm going to go ahead and run with the experts in the field, rather than some halfwit who sides with liars and traitors.

    We ARE morally superior for electing a man who isn't a corrupt, lying, gaslighting, grifting, empty wind bag. Trump was a horror show of a human being and easily one of the top three worst presidents we've ever had. Period. Objectively.

    Biden is a good man trying to do a good job, and those that are informed know he's trying to do a good job. That's all we can ask. And it's what we never saw with Trump. Ever.

    Yes, I know Trump intentionally cultivated a rabid fanbase of conspiracy theorists, but they still almost always accept what he says as fact. Like, to a suicidal fault.

    Disney has likely lost more in business due to Trump's outbreak than Trump is worth. I imagine they wouldn't mind an excuse to go Dominion on his giant fat ass.

    Cognitive dissonance
    When something matches with their view of the world its true and should be followed. When it doesn't match its conveniently ignored.

    Its not that they do whatever Trump wants them to do, its that he says what they want to hear.

    He can get them riled up and stupidly assault Congress because they want to hear that the Dems are the enemy, that the election they lost was stolen and that they can be heroes by 'standing ready'.

    He can't get them to get vaccinated because that directly conflicts with their belief that its bad (take your pick of Autism, tracking implants or whatever).

    He can steer the cult a little, he doesn't directly control it.
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

    Trump is a Symptom, not a cause. His Boorish personality and trading of Dogwhistles for Loudspeakers just served as confirmation bias for the worst parts of our electorate. They projected themselves onto this craven, barely literate shithead because they resonated with what he said and how he acted, and felt any attack against him was an attack against them in turn. That's part of why they followed him; not in support -of- Trump, but in opposition to anything that wasn't Trump.

    So when Trump decides to go back on something he said, so publicly as to not be able to deny his words as 'doctored', they lose a bit of that projection and hate him for it.

    Actual Trump quote about polls from CPAC last month:

    If it's bad, I say it's fake. If it's good, I say that's the most accurate poll perhaps ever.

    Well, it was clearly only ever supposed to be nothing more than a monument or a statement. It was good enough, if it lasted through Trumps presidency.

    I've always said that the wall would be a good monument to the Trump presidency.

    Expensive, ineffective, and left moldering away in some forgotten section of desert.

    I am so thankful that the leader they chose is someone who is very incompetent. Possibly intentionally incompetent, who knows. The Trump supporters that do things like pull someone's mask down and then spit in their face are all riled up and looking for some trouble. They have not finished their story yet, and they may end up doing a LOT more damage before fading away.

    They ARE losing, but only slowly, and they may be able to make significant gains in 2022. If so, we will have to support President Biden and Vice President Harris as they will be our last lines of defense - the House Speaker would either be McCarthy, or someone substantially worse. Trump will go away. The people who made him President will not. At least not for a while.

    That's the literal definition of support. It's not just some idea in your head, you actually took specific action to voluntarily endorse and support their election.

    You keep deflecting from this.

    You'd waste less of people's time if you stopped playing this silly-ass game that you lost months ago and just admit the truth. Your repeated denial when we have concrete admissions that it's false, from you yourself, just continue to paint you as a bad-faith agitator.

    Yes, we know, we covered that back in...holy shit, it happened a second time? As a reminder, Jan 30 2020 the Wall was torn in half by wind. Now it's being knocked over by earth and water. If part burns down, does that mean we summon Captain Planet or Thrall?

    Has anyone told the ex-Trump administration idiots that we've got something like 5,000 years of practice building walls, many of which have managed to largely stand intact for not just tens of years, not hundreds, but thousands?

    Like, not being able to build a wall that can withstand basic weather for even a few years, that's pathetic. I'd expect more out of a local boy-scouts club, let alone the Federal Government of the United States of America.

    Let me remind you, @TexasRules and other Trump defenders, and everyone else what Trump said while campaigning and running:

    I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great great wall on our southern border and I’ll have Mexico pay for that wall
    Literally none of that happened. Trump either lied, or he was incompetent. There is no third option.

    Honestly, in a slightly better timeline, Trump and his cronies would be paying out of pocket to have that garbage removed and recycled into something useful.
