Problem is that Trump has support from 40 percent of the US population. Alex Jones did not.
Trump can literally do everything wrong and it doesn't matter to his voters at this point. They will vote for him regardless.
When he said before the first election that he could murder someone right in the middle of Times Square and get away with it, I thought, "how could anyone vote for such a blow hard asshole?" Now I know he wasn't bragging, just telling the fucking truth. It's absolutely insane that he constantly has major scandals and still has the support of so many people. And I don't get why. He's extremely unattractive, isn't particularly well spoken, isn't a good Christian (not that I care about that, but his voters say they do), never really accomplished anything without failing immediately after, and openly insulted members of the military after lying to skip out on military service (also something his voters say they care about).
These Christians would vote for Literal biblically accurate Satan if he promised to kill off all the liberals.
"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" Trump remarked at a campaign stop at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa. "It's, like, incredible."
I live close enough to the boarder with Iowa that I often listen to Iowa radio stations and look at Iowa news for local news. This tracks for Iowa...
Dang, I was 2 blocks off from the quote.
Neurology has shown that your opinions are the same as your God's. It doesn't matter what some book says, it matters what you feel. Which is why almost no one reads the books of their own faith.
