    he could see Trump raping his mother right in front of him and he would still vote for him

    Social media really sucked the meaning out of words, didn’t they? Goddamn.

      I’m not sure I understand this comment. Do you think this Trump supporter doesn’t actually know what he said?

        I mean that if they had uttered them on the town’s main square someone would have slapped some sense into them

          That doesn’t change my assessment of the sincerity of his comment nor that he’s using the words the way they have traditionally been used.

          I haven’t seen any behavior on the part of vocal Trump supporters to make me think those words weren’t meant.

          That’s something we will never know, but I would place my bet on desensitizing or trying to deliberately shock the reader, rather than on not meaning what they said.
