A conversation with my trump coworkers last night at work
I walk in lunch room around 02:00.My union trump supporting misguided brethren are woofing down sandwiches and slopping down soup. And they have fox on I shut tv off hey we we’re watching that I heard from them.
I replied not in the mood to hear any facist tv propaganda. They are as sick and mental over at Fox as your orange yam in the White House. That got em going me stroking them calling their dear leader mental actually I enjoy it getting them wound up.
Teb - I said look fellas he’s completely mental. He needs psychiatric help and after 2020 he will get it.
Trump supporters - what do you mean after 2020
Teb - I said after the SDNY charges him with and after he’s convicted. He will receive psych help in New York State prison system. Then I looked at a true union brother a fine teamster a good democrat a vet as I am we have known each other probably since 93 when we both worked at Preston 151 trucking. I winked and said. You know if I would have took that change operations back in 2010 and went to buffalo to work. My tax dollars would be helping orange anus get mental help once he’s in New York State prison.
I for one can say I'm glad I don't have to verbally spar with someone as sharp as TEB where I work. The way his mind works ... wow. Who could stand a chance defending Trump and Trump's policies to someone with this level of ... reasoning.

look at you as if they heard what you said? i swear his cult is as "mental" as he is. the cognitive dissonance is really startling when you're sitting next to it.

14. isn't it remarkable?
did any of them try to argue with you? it's all out there. i am convinced that they have some weird mechanism in their brain that allows them to just skip over facts. they're brainwashed. seriously brainwashed.
i was thinking the other day that today's trump republicans read 1984 and see it as an illustration of Utopia.
What is out there? Please come explain it to us. I keep hearing CRIMES, CRIMES ... but when it came time to impeach, no crime. Now, if you want to say there were crimes ... why weren't those what they put on the articles of impeachment?

25. I drove trucks as a teamster for 40 years, out of Oakland. I never knew
Never knew of any brother that voted republican. Every election, federal or local, our local would recommend democratic candidates up an down the ballot. In coffee shops we would have a few who didn’t know which side their bread was buttered on
Say, how's that union pension thing working out for you there, bud? My dad retired from a Teamster job and, well, geesh, I don't know how to tell you this buddy, but y'all are BROKE! He retired with a few more than 40 years as a Teamster and they straight up screwed ALL of you out of that hard earned pension. Of course, those at the top of the ladder don't care, they got theirs.

10. Is the union the reason you still have a job?
I’ve never belonged to a union. How much would be too much?
Oh, that would be a BIG 10-4, good buddy!

30. The thing is...
their tune would change once the authoritarian regime they are rooting for takes full hold on the system.
It is easy to play their game now, but I really don't think they will like the results when they don't fit exactly into the requirements of the Party's dictatorship. That's when things get real and there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Perhaps a lack of maturity and insight contributes to making this a trivial game with a mythical, adolescent mindset and the behaviors that go with that. When they get their comeuppance, it is far too late.
They keep making that claim and it makes me think they don't understand what those words mean.
Oh well, interesting thread.
