My questions when I do have the chance to ask someone who supports the conservative/Tea Party/rightist agenda (kill Obamacare, end Medicare, end Social Security/ go to a flat tax/cut government spending, dismantle every department but Defense, etc., etc.) is "What's the end game?" "What, exactly are you trying to achieve?" "What happens then?"

I asked a particularly loathsome relative, whose political "philosophy" is simply another way of saying, "I resent everyone getting anything from the government except me," in the midst of an argument over the Iraq War whether he believed that the United States was based on a belief in "all for one and one for all" or in "every man for himself."

I'm sure you can supply the answer. He's the same one who once was ranting about how blacks should be able to pull themselves up on their own, that w were doing too much for them.

I asked him to imagine that when he died, the Christian God in whom he ostensibly believes told him that he could actually return for another life.

"I'd do it," he said.

"Oh, but wait," I said. "There's more. What if God told you that you'd be coming back as a black woman in America?" I asked him.

"No way," was his answer.

"I think you proved my inherent point," I said.

He just moved on to the shrimp at the appetizer table at my mother's house, where he stuffed two into his mouth at once and then grabbed a handful and stuffed them into his jacket pocket. 

"By their fruits shall you know them."

Or by all the shrimp jammed into their pockets.

Naturally, he has been a Trumpist since Day One, with a Facebook loaded with memes about Obama's lack of patriotism and Mrs. Obama's being an ugly trans Muslim ape. No lie. 

He is the default Trump supporter that comes to mind every time someone says disbelievingly, "Who would vote for this guy?"

My a$$h*le brother-in-law, for one.

It's a false equivalence and a non-sequitur and just complete both-siderist gibberish all in one statement.

Maybe just once, somebody in the "party of responsibility" could take some responsibility. Just for variety.

This is why I use quotes in the phrase Trump World "leadership."

The Pittsburgh synagogue shooter had a lot of anti-CNN and other Trump related stuff decorating his van. I don't see how anyone could deny he was a big fan emboldened by trump. I'm sure Trump will be using the "nobody loves ______s more than Donald J. Trump" line on this too. He had to go pay respects today because of all the rallies and other appearances he has booked the rest of the time, the heck with who didn't want him there right now! Everything is about him, and he's always the ultimate victim. The billionaire victim. Boo hoo hoo.

We learned the stories of some of these people murdered, some really amazing people who added to the world and the U.S. Trump gave support to the sad tiki torch chanters and the like so many times over the last few years but won't wear any of it. I would be pretty happy for any number of minorities to 'replace' them actually, that would be good, thanks for that idea marching morons!

Let's keep in mind that he also prefaced this by saying that "The US is the only country with birthright citizenship."  Well...except for the 29 other countries that do...constituting most of the Western Hemisphere.  

So he's...you know...lying.  Of course any rational person knows that if Trump's lips are moving it's prima facie evidence that he's lying.  

^ already has been.

My enjoyment of this activity was shattered in 2016, though the Roy Moore election night restored a little bit of the joy.

For those eligible and registered to vote in the United States, Hellboy has a message for you...
