MAGA crowd. Do these people have enough knowledge or ability to evaluate/assess who should be president, that we can have confidence in their pick?

[Hollie]

The MAGA crowd gave us a clear manifesto of what needs to be done in the U.S., having chosen Trump for our next president.

The question comes up that is being asked is "do these MAGA people have enough brains, knowledge, evaluating/assessing capabilities that would make us feel comfortable that they chose wisely?

Here is one example showing some of the MAGA crowd



Having put that video up, it can be said by some that the video does not truly represent the MAGA crowd or only represents a small "cherry picked" portion of the MAGA people.

In doing some additional research, I did find an article that goes in a totally different direction but it does paint a much more informative picture of one of the things that is truly happening, and not only to the Trump supporters but to the Trump detractors. That is the idea that Trump is NOT A PERSON!

"not a person"? c'mon, Trump is a person and there is no doubt about it, right?

Well the article goes into the people's perception that Trump is God (Trumper's view) or that Trump is the Devil (anti-trumpers view). This is certainly crazy and against knowledge and beliefs (there is no God and no Satan) that are centered in reality...........but then again, it certainly fits in perfectly into what most people have been saying about Trump............he is God............he is Satan!

Here is the article that talks about this:

Trumpism. In the minds of his most ardent supporters, the ex-president is both more and less than a person​

Americans today see two contradictory futures looming in the middle distance: In one scenario, Donald Trump is convicted of serious crimes and sent to prison. In the second, he returns to the presidency in 2025. How is it possible that a twice-impeached former president facing 91 criminal counts can now be elected to return to the Oval Office? Why do his supporters not recoil when Trump promises to unleash an authoritarian regime as president and to assume the role of dictator on Day One? What explains his enduring appeal?

It is worth noting that Murray’s (Harvard Psychologist) characterization of Satan bears an uncanny resemblance to the psychological portrait of Trump painted by many psychologists today. A malignant narcissism rages at the core of Satan’s personality. Cast out of heaven for his overmastering pride, Satan wants to be God, resents the fact that he is not God and insists that his supreme worth entitles him to privileges that nobody else should enjoy while undergirding his reign as sovereign of the mortal world below.

On the other side, Trump has often compared himself to a superhero. He has famously described himself as a “stable genius” who has never made a mistake. He is not lying when he makes these outrageous claims, for Trump truly believes them to be true, just as he believes he won the 2020 election. Trump is like a golden god in his mind and in the minds of many of his supporters: a superhero, able to do things that no other human can do; a warrior who fights furiously to win every battle, completely immersed in the moment. His very identity is the supremely heroic role he plays on TV and in real life. The role is charismatic and mesmerizing

After reading this article and having experienced everything said (great and horrible) about Trump, this ("not a person") view, seems to be reality we are actually experiencing.

Having said all of the above, what does this say about us (All Americans) that believe in the unbelievable?

One tangible thing that is very worrisome (when all is considered) is that talking about all Americans believing the unbelievable is bad enough, but when you consider that Trump himself (the elected president) believes he is God (or at least believes he was "chosen by God") comes into the equation, this is really scary scenario.

What do you think about this God or Satan idea that is being seen now?

You Biden - Harris groupies left the country with an obvious choice.

We should be united? Is the way to do that by insulting tens of millions of Americans whom you called too ignorant or stupid to vote?

What I do is evaluate. Evaluating what is happening is something the brain does automatically. That is the reason we have brains.......................and is the reasons why we should be using them and understanding that it is Trump (the chosen leader) who is causing disunity to occur.

You do realize that according to TRUMP, that the Democrats are the ENEMY, don't you? How can you accuse me of disunity when I am not the one in a position to unify or cause disunity?.

You "evaluate" poorly.

 

[Luckyone]

And the people who voted for someone who couldn’t answer a basic question - and was only in that position due to her being a female black - were using their brains? The idiot couldn’t even cite the Pledge of Allegiance!

?????

You need to explain this post and how that has anything to do with choosing Trump as someone that is going to unify us.

And the Democrats accused Trump of being like Hitler, and compared those attending his rallies to Nazis. Your idiot DEI candidate actually stood in front of the VP seal and made an announcement likening Trump to Hitler.

Don’t lecture ME about unity.

Because you opened this thread asking whether those who elected Trump had the mental capacity to make judgments. I question how those who thought an idiot who couldn’t answer a question was a better choice.

You think Kamala, who compared Trump to Hitler, and by doing so insinuating that those who vote for him are like Nazis, was going to unify the country?! Nope. She was going to open the floodgates to illegals even further, and destroy the country.

The key word is United, meaning working TOGETHER for a common goal.

States yes

13 free, independent states

Except for the migrant foreigners we are all Americans

And as such there is a common good

But not the marxist-socialist nirvana that libs dream of

You really do not understand what working "together" means, do you?

Bottom line is the fact that Trump has proven to be a man with no morals, ethics, principles or humanity and has also proven himself to be incompetent.

As such, supporting Trump means that either you have no brains or have no soul.

This has nothing to do with Kamala. She has shown that she has some ethics, morals, principles and humanity.

Saying what is, is not disunity. Trump has clearly shown many of Hitlers way of thinking. That is not disunity coming from the Democrats. It is disunity coming from Trump. He called the Democrats "the enemies within"

Ever hear of "compromise" so that the entire nation can gain something while giving up something so that we can all unite?

Trump and the Far Right promote "our way or the highway". There is no compromise there.

Do you want to bring back literacy and/or other tests in order to vote? Bring it on. MAGAs weren’t the party to bring them on in the first place. It was Democrats. MAGAs also have no problem or issue on producing picture ID in order to vote whereas Democrats feel segments of their party are incapable obtaining a picture ID.

If you mean "bring back common sense" as literacy, then yes. The problem that is occurring now is that Trumpers are acting as a cult, meaning that they are blindly believing in ONE MAN (who is a scam artist) and that has never been the way this nation has worked. Our forefathers set up a system with 3 different parts of it that work like check and balances for each other. To have a situation where one man calls the shots is not anything that has to do with literacy but with simple common sense. Anyone that votes for Trump is being blind-by-choice and a traitor to the Constitution

Sure, I’m all for it

trump policies are all for the good of the country

Building the wall and deporting illgals

Tariffs on chinese imports

That requires compromise from libs

Do you think we will get any compromise?

This has nothing to do with Kamala. She has shown that she has some ethics, morals, principles and humanity.

Trump is also a man that the founding fathers wrote the constitution to prevent from ever being elected president.

They feared a rich charismatic charlatan could enamor himself to the vast uneducated, and convince them to vote for him. So they created an electoral college, where the people didn't vote for president, but instead voted for the state legislature, who in turn chose the electoral college, whose members would actually vote for president.

Thus preventing such as Trump ever getting into the white house.

It was followed by several constructional amendments that removed those original safeguards.

You people believed in a person who said he was going to stop the oceans from rising and then betrayed the Constitution by spying on private citizens and using agencies to punish political enemies…… and you are going to lecture about common sense?

And your insistence on repeating this Hitler nonsense is why there won’t be unity.

And yes - Democrats who try to block the will of the people by hiding the awful truth about their own candidate while using North Korea tactics to keep their opponent out of office ARE the enemies within.
