If this is all the right-wing propaganda can muster... hanging up on someone... I think Trump might actually be in trouble here.

I know this is trolling but it is also probably verbatim the logic someone like my dad would have.

There are some weird blind spots for people when politics comes up and they look at someone who is obviously a bad person who constantly takes advantage of others and sees instead someone who just needs someone to believe in them so that they can transform into a good person. They believe that this person wants to be a good person but, like them, makes mistakes. (Trump)

It is sad because it is the flip-side of someone everyone understands is a good person and who always tries to do the right thing. When this person makes a bad decision, this same type of thinking sees them as fundamentally a bad person who was pretending to be good until they revealed their true nature: bad. (Hillary)

A really good example of this is the (kind of terrible) tv show Under the Dome where one character is obviously selfish and cruel, constantly killing people for stupid reasons and yet the other characters constantly give this man another chance, a chance to be good, that he again fails, harming them in horrible new ways. There is another character who everyone trusted at one point but then he did something that made it seem like he was actually selfish, for the rest of the show the characters wanted nothing to do with him, some how he had proven his character while the selfish one had not.

It seems to be the nature of abusive relationships.

$7 Billion Oops my bad it's now $10 Billion

Yeah I’ve been living under 25k for about 10 years and always had roommates. The money ebbs and flows, sometimes I can go out and drop money and sometimes I have to reel it in. It is terrible for your mental health BUT nyc offers free healthcare to anyone making under that much. Bc it’s not a terrorist state like those that refuse to accept the ADA. Which means I have a PCP, a psych and a therapist.

What I get in return is time.

Yup this is close to what my life has been like except a lot more weed to cope with never knowing if I’ll suddenly have no money.
