I guess the main reason I think Trump supporters are so glaringly stupid is that they don't see what's obvious. Christ, they are so fu-cking stupid. If you see anything positive about Trump, you must be moronic.
Since Trump lies about everything, what is wrong with his followers lying to themselves. Wait, ... you already gave the answer. It was stupidity.

It is scary that Trump doesn't have the wit to even pretend that he will abide by the vote of the American electorate, if it goes against him. Even dictators like Kim Jong Un are smart enough to at least pretend to abide by the vote of the people.
The irony of your statement here should actually be hypocrisy but its daftness abounds. You literally haven't abided by the vote of the electorate for almost 4 years. Trump was elected for the policy and not for witty Instagram posts. Your cult of presidency has rendered you senseless.

While it is true that Trump constitutionally abided by the vote of the Electoral College in 2016, it can't be truthfully said that his election was in line with the will of the American people, as he lost the popular vote by more than 3 million votes, though he at least strongly hinted that even in 2016, before the election, that he would have contested even the Electoral College results, had they gone against him. This year, however, he brazenly leaves no doubt that he will literally reject the results, whether popular vote or Electoral College, if Biden wins. If he can't win the election electorally, he is grimly determined to try to win it by litigation (which he has already started trying to do).
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Actually he literally has. Show where he has tried to remove Trump from office over the election results. Show where democrats have, and don't be stupid enough to bring up his impeachment. You know full well it was not over the election results, and even one republican senator from Utah voted to impeach.

Dear God the sight of Trump and Melania wearing black masks and standing behind the casket of Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the Supreme Court with the crowd booing, chanting "vote him out" and "honor her wish"...I don't have words to describe that. It's just one of the most awful things I've ever seen.

I'm horrified.

Thank you Themis! That is exactly right!

EA brings up impeachment in Jan 2017
Jersey Girl wants it in March 2017
Doc notes bookmaker odds for it in March 2017
Doc calls for it in May 2017
Brackite predicts it in May 2017
Schmo in June 2017

and these are just highlights, it was a major topic of mention from you guys for whatever reason within days of inauguration and continued through countless umfounded and since disproven allegations.
Should we count the "not my President" posts as well?

Dude, this is not the hill for you to die on. Own the reality that you giys have not abided by it for not even one day. And in spite of the successes his policies has brought to you personally. Weird.

So not one example of anyone trying to remove Trump from office for the election results. Sure there are other areas where Trump is accused of wrong doing with evidence that many feel meet impeachment levels. Enough that for the first time in US history a senator has voted to impeach a president(Trump) from his own party.

I learned something new today. Talking about impeachment is just like refusing to step down as president if you lose an election. This board is really educations.

You're not allowed to like Romney now. He's going to vote to confirm the next supreme court justice. It'll probably be the last conservative appointed to the court.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
