According to this reporter:

Still perplexed as to how this man still has a base. But then again, cult leaders throughout history have somehow had unwavering support right up to peoples’ deaths. Strange kool aid. Defs not for me.

Many of Trump's worshipers will go to the grave believing he's the second coming of Christ.

How is this even news? It's mostly just some random person's opinion. The article doesn't even say what Trump's latest lie is.

You probably don't realize how kooky that sounds.

They will support if he shoots someone on 5th Avenue so they will support him if he says "Christ is a loser, I don't like people who get captured"

If Trump hit the lying stratosphere, then Obama's made his way into the lying galaxy.

Obama wasn't even close to the degree of untruths Trump has been sputtering.

How so? They choose to believe him over our country's intelligence agencies, and can rationalize it away when he clearly contradicts himself. His base are the same people who attacked Obama for his alleged "blame America first apology tour," but now justify Russian interference with our election by bringing up how America had once interfered with the elections of other countries just because it had benefited Trump. The "my country, right or wrong, still my country" crowd supporting Trump seem pretty disingenuously selective about their national outrage.

I'm not an aspie. And I realized you were speaking figuratively. But figurative speech can be overdone. I think if folks want to be taken more seriously by the "other side" they might want to consider toning it down some.

Then just imagine I used "persons on the autistic spectrum" instead of Aspie.
