For all the justified focus on trump's depravity I think we need to identify the real problem.

[berg80]

As hideous, un-American, bigoted, ignorant, untruthful, and hateful as trump is, and as appropriate as it is to point it out, there is no trump without The Following.

He'd be the equivalent of a barstool crank without them.

It will be a tremendous blow to trumpery if he loses next week, and a boon for the country.

But the hatred, intolerance, and xenophobia he has animated, and given voice to among his base, will not be vanquished in one election. His defeat, should it happen, will not stop RWM from spreading harmful misinformation The Following eagerly absorbs.

I do not believe there will be another trump in my lifetime or the lifetime's of my kids. So The Following's animus will not be channeled in support of a demagogue as it is now. Yet it will remain. Stoked by others desirous of taking Don's place. Finding a way to calm it needs to be a priority or it will continue to consume the country. It is the enemy within.

Have you looked at the left anytime in, say, the past 20 years?

Hatred is your coin of barter.

No link.

There isn't one vile unjustified attack you people haven't tried on this great man, verbal, legal, physical. Yet he survives them all because truth survives. Even today, this week, he is outworking his much-younger opponent. He has EARNED this re-election. Like steel honed by fire.

OP is and his post is , and he should feel bad for causing me to post this.

The MSG bigotfest says all we need to know about the state of trumpery and the folks who make it possible. Projecting your feelings on to the Left solves nothing.

There is no reason to have any sympathy and compassion anymore if Progs win. You do not control your social agendas. You even bait people within your groups against each other.

This is a weird post. So the worst part of Trump is…..his following?

In other words the “real problem” are Americans who don’t buy into the lies of the left, as well as the RINO neocons.

So we are your real enemy, because we won’t buy into your bullshit lies.

Lies like “transgenderism”.

Lies like “abortion isn’t murder”.

 

[berg80]

He's promising to throw political opponents in jail because they are his opponents. Not because he has alleged they've committed any crime. Great men don't makes promises like that. Weaklings do.

Except that there was no bigotry, nor even a festival of bigots.

I think you're projecting your own bigotry onto the screen here, and this reeks of desperation by you and the left.

He is actually saying the opposite.

But then, we have a current administration that IS throwing political opponents in jail.

 

[berg80]

You even bait people within your groups against each other.

You've just described what trump does. Trying to turn us against each other.

He'd call us the 'enemy within' if he hadn't already slopped up the soup the left had made with that comment.

The left have been pitting us against each other since at least 2000.

I watched film of the event. Don't tell me it wasn't founded on bigotry.

You will kill tens of millions here by the time you are finished. The real hate.

He SHOULD prosecute deep state leftwing criminals who have perverted and misused government agencies for political purposes. America applauds him for that.

The best that you have is to call it the "following"

I'm sure that you believe that to be clever.
That was a really good show that has no relevance to today's politics.

Politics works on a pendulum.
Back and forth -
Democrat versus Republican.

You guys went full bore lunatic Fringe this time.
The pendulum will swing more quickly than usual and farther than usual.


See Newtons third law.
