Literally everyone hates her.
Can you believe the Amish believe their own eyes and ears?

Lol now this is trolling. Could you imagine Hitler doing this? Serving up fries to customers at McDonald's?
It's astonishing how triggered the cult is over something so innocent though. They know the optics of this are huge for Trump. People get it. The cult have to tear it down though. Something so amazingly pointless they are losing their minds about. Going to McDonalds is Hitler. Lol

Interesting. I wonder what the effect on engagement will be for these zombie posters who can't take in new information but go though the same motions as they did before.

It’s always been about inflicting pain on “woke”. Trump talking like a horrible human being is exactly what his followers want..
www.theatlantic.com
The belief that at some point Trump voters will have finally had enough is an ordinary human response to seeing people you care about—in this case fellow citizens—associate with someone you know to be awful. Much like watching a friend in an unhealthy relationship, you think that each new outrage is going to be the one that provokes the final split, and yet it never does: Your friend, instead of breaking off the relationship, makes excuses. He didn’t mean it. You don’t understand him like I do.
But this analogy is wrong, because it’s based on the faulty assumption that one of the people in the relationship is unhappy. Maybe the better analogy is the friend you didn’t know very well in high school, someone who perhaps was quiet and not very popular, who shows up at your 20th reunion on the arm of a loudmouthed boor—think a cross between Herb Tarlek and David Duke—who tells offensive stories and racist jokes. She thinks he’s wonderful and laughs at everything he says.
But what she really enjoys, all these years after high school, is how uncomfortable he’s making you.
And this, in brief, is the problem for Kamala Harris in this election. She and others have likely hoped that, at some point, Trump will reveal himself as such an obvious, existential threat that even many Republican voters will walk away from him. (She delivered a short statement today emphasizing Kelly’s comments.) For millions of the GOP faithful, however, Trump’s daily attempts to breach new frontiers of hideousness are not offensive but reassuring. They want Trump to be awful—precisely because the people they view as their political foes will be so appalled if he wins. If Trump’s campaign was focused on handing out tax breaks and lowering gas prices, he’d be losing, because for his base, none of that yawn-inducing policy stuff is transgressive enough to be exciting. (Just ask Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, who each in their own way tried to run as a Trump alternative.)
Some Trump voters may believe his lies. But plenty more want Trump to be terrifying and stomach-turning so that reelecting him will be a fully realized act of social revenge. Harris cannot propose any policy, offer any benefit, or adopt any position that competes with that feeling.
Exactly why so many Americans feel this way is a complicated story—I wrote an entire book about it—but a toxic combination of social resentment, entitlement, and racial insecurity drives many Trump voters to believe not only that other Americans are looking down on them but that they are doing so while living an undeservedly good life. These others must be punished or at least brought down to a common level of misery to balance the scales, and Trump is the guy to do it.
Trump’s Depravity Will Not Cost Him This Election

Disagree. It won't cost him because people aren't voting for Trump's virtue. They are voting for the job he does. People see the cost of food at the store and they want the job Trump did. People see the wars spiraling out of control and they want the job Trump did.It’s always been about inflicting pain on “woke”.
