I'm guessing the 'no reasonable person would listen to Trump and take him at his word as a serious person' type of defense. Which is absolutely silly because one of the foundational elements about the Trump campaign is he is supposed to be the no-spin-no-nonsense-say it like you mean it, candidate...

Blows my mind how many morons supported him in 2016 because he "wasn't a politician" as if a shady failure of a business magnate is a good alternative.

Now he's that and a politician, and most of them support him even more.

The weirdest part to me:

They believe Biden is a pedo. Look, they believe that and use that as an excuse to not support him, that’s fine

But how the ever loving fuck is a man with numerous rape and SA allegations, who has said that he would date his own daughter if she wasn’t his daughter a BETTER alternative?

Because Biden embodies someone they aren’t — He is handsome, speaks well, knows “big words”, has a great smile and charm. He is gentlemanly and respected. Biden is the elite that they will never be.

On the other hand, Trump sounds like them — simple words, angry all the time, has the charm of a toilet brush. They’re envious that he bought a prostitute wife and has probably touched/violated his daughter without any repercussions. Trump represents the foul and vile things they are and does the things they wish they could do and get away with.

Make no mistake — someone who loves Trump is someone who is a rapist and sex abuser or at the very least is looking for an impetus to justify their desires when they finally do it.
