I know you don't mean this, but Trump is nothing like Rick. Rick sacrifices what he wants the most because it is the right thing to do and because he is a good person. Can you imagine what Trump would call Rick?
During the 2016 election campaign i saw a clip in which a journalist was speaking with people lined up outside one of Trump's rallies. Asked what the appeal was, one woman laid it out, plain as day: "He tells us what we want to hear."
Many of these people -- the ones who are more stupid than deplorable -- are simply fed up with being shat on. Being at least a bit stupid, it hasn't occurred to them that they've been voting against their best interests for decades, falling over and over again into the same emotional traps laid by unscrupulous assholes eager to maintain power.
Being a grifter his entire sordid life, that shitbag saw a lot of easy marks. It still amazes me that they were also cooing in 2016 about how "he's a billionaire, so he won't need to ask us for donations!" And still, they support him.
But he also told the really deplorable types what they wanted to hear, because he knows that he needs them as much as he does the dipshits who flock to empty their wallets for him. In the process he has churned up a negative feedback loop that we are going to have to deal with for a long time to come, despite Harris winning in November.
Sorry for ending on a grim note. But then, i also feel that you have nothing to apologize for if your message is keeping anyone up at night. My advice to you is to simply respond, "You're welcome." This is much too serious to sleep through.
Spot on. It is indeed puzzling how so many essentially decent people repeatedly vote against their interests, led on by conmen. And absolutely, what we're up against is much too serious to give a pass.
