I am asking Trump supporters to engage in an intellectual exercise.

[Stryder50]

Just to confirm, you're saying that you feel that Trump is a person of good character?

When compared to groper-molester Joe Biden, the DemocRAT POTUS candidates of the past three decades, and most of the Leftist posters here - YES.

But that does raise the question of why audiences were so ripe for folks like Limbaugh, so ready to hear what he had to say.

Same with the View huh?

You have lifted your skirt completely

A chick with a dick hard core leftist

 

[berg80]

Personally, I think it's the result of decades of non-stop manipulation, beginning with the day Limbaugh went national.

All of the terms, all of the assumptions, all of the behaviors, and (worst of all) all of the thought processes are exactly the same.

What I notice is the lack of factual support for their beliefs, their immature use of GIFs, cartoons, memes, talking points, a general lack of independent thought.

I see. So not only are you OK with rape, you're OK with forcing women to carry to term against their will. I sense you don't have a lot of respect for women.

Srill throwing that Rape shit against the wall hoping it will stick huh?

Republicans have been perfecting the art of indoctrination since 1980.

In an extremely cynical addition, they have also worked diligently towards dumbing down Americans, ensuring their base won't ever actually weigh their performance. Their performance over the past 4 decades has been abysmal, and the base is no longer "into them". For good reason.

Enter Trump. Now take that 4 decades of indoctrination, and give them a carnival barker who says the quiet part out loud. Now it starts to make sense why logic is pushed aside.

As another poster has said, "Trump took one look at the talk radio crowd and said, "THIS is gonna be EASY".

He's a salesman, not a political ideologue. He just used target marketing, speaking exclusively to his target market, 24/7/365. And of course, he still is.

Two things: First, he made plenty of perfectly reasonable points. Any intelligent person can effectively argue both sides of any issue. I often agreed with his base case, before he'd go off the rails with it. And also, as the old saying goes, "the best lies contain a kernel of truth".

But also, remember that he started as a DJ, an entertainer. He brought that DJ sensibility -- which is not brought by people like Hannity, et al -- to his shows, using humor and satire very, very well. So he spoke to a lot of people, and he did it in a VERY engaging way. That's one helluva combination.

He also had a frustrated audience of people who felt powerless in the face of government overreach. The minority in the majority-rules game. The arrogance exemplified by Obama's "Elections have consequences!" (ie "Suck it, we got more votes!") is what drives people toward the populists.

The question wasn't to compare Trump to others. The question was about HIS moral character.

What are you rambling about now?

Good grief. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, ok?

Correct, because they're provided the basics and don't bother to investigate. When they say they "do research", it's only within their informational ecosystem.

The worst thing an ideology does to a person, IMO, is take away their fundamental human curiosity. The ideology provides all the answers.

Trump is the anti-hero, the guy who comes in bruised and battered and won't shut up, taking down anyone and everyone who gets in his way. The base can't get enough. He has also shown that he admires and respects Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, which does not matter at all to his supporters, as most cannot make this connection to the man they revere, and will find any excuse for justification.

"There would be no war in Ukraine if Trump was President!"

"What's wrong with trying to bring peace to Korea?"

Sure. It's not difficult to point out government overreach, or the fact that the media leans left.

The problem is how it's addressed. When the response is binary, all or nothing, it goes too far. Both ends of the spectrum do that.

The jury found Carroll credible. Imagine that.

List of Trump's accusers and their allegations of sexual misconduct

At least 18 women have accused Donald Trump of varying inappropriate behavior, including allegations of sexual harassment or sexual assault. Here is a rundown.

Imagine living in a place where a jury finds a wack-job like this “credible”?
Only in Loon York or Mexifornia…hahaha

 

[Mac1958]

Trump is the anti-hero

That's exactly how I view him. America loves its movie anti-hero, the guy you love to hate.

Pro wrestling has a ton of them, over the top, overacting loons, and the fans love it.

 

[eagle1462010]

This op was a fail early on.

Now a Army Of TDS TROLLS entering it is suppised to make this BS case stick. Lmao

Powerless? Did someone take away their right to vote?

Don't get me started on Trump's links to pro-wrestling. His "style" isn't just a coincidence.

There is no deep state. It's a fiction.
