The truth about rump supporters

things your mom should’ve told you
Jan 13, 2026

I’ve said it before, I don’t hate Trump supporters. But people who mess with Donald Trump aren’t for me. They don’t support him for his view on American Politics. The 2024 election helped to validate them. Their political psychology is nothing but baser instincts.

Trump psychology is the psychology of narcissism and politics. It’s authoritariansm in American based around a cult of personality. So why do people vote for Trump? What is the Trump voter mindset? Is it Fox news brainwashing. What is their psychology of voting?

If you "forgive" them than you are basically saying you want this BS to continue. It's why a truly evil murderer continues to destroy, kill, etc everything possible. If you "forgive" a Satanic monster you are enabling him. You are providing him with a "second chance" when that is NOT a realistic outcome for true sadistic psychopaths. The "thoughts and prayers" BS is exactly that...BS! Do NOT ever "forgive and forget" since history needs to be remembered for the continuation of the human race. You must NOT EVER forgive and forget! You must remember and learn from mistakes or you will continue a cycle of death and destruction.
