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?

[fncceo]

you too were on the edge yesterday or being placed on Ignore

How could any survive the horror of being ignored by you?

Is there enough therapy in the world?

 

[OKTexas]

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?

Of course you folks would prefer these folks picking the president, RIGHT??????????????

Was Kamala considered a God by the Democrats? If your answer is yes, then show the articles or statements (as I have done) that show that to be the case.

Mind you, your answer to this post seems to be a deflection and a debasement. If that turns out to be the case, you will become #11 on my ignore list of people not having anything worthwhile to say.

Only complete and total pussies us iggy. Is that what you are?

This is not about what I THINK. This is about showing a fact that is occurring and trying to discuss/debate it, which you are not doing. Instead, you are giving a debasing-of-the-messenger statement that is not at all addressing (or even less debating) the information given in the OP.

Be aware of what I am saying as I am here to debate. I am not here do debase or attack people (as you are doing).

You want to prove the OP wrong? then debate the OP and give data, statistics, and facts that contradict the OP.

Of course you are, you're trolling. Otherwise you wouldn't have posted an article on the psychology of trumpism, written by some academic hack that isn't a psychologist or psychiatrist. And as you see, no one is buying your schtick.

Partisans are dumb on both sides of the aisle, hell Democrats were telling us how sharp Biden was, they were either lying or just stupid partisans. I have no faith in the GOP or the Democrats, both believe what they want.

 

[Contumacious]

, it is about HOW some people used blind religious beliefs to vote. T

Amazing , WE THE PEOPLE - MAGA Patriots - are not qualified to vote but Schizophrenic freaks are allowed to vote and be rabble rousers to boot.

Ain't that some Shih-Tsu?

 

[Mac1958]

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 MAGA crowd is an ongoing study of the Dunning-Kruger Effect, the depressing result of decades of manipulation by the voices they have chosen to trust. It's very disheartening to watch.

However, there were many millions who voted for (R) not because they're MAGA, but because the alternative wasn't good enough, or annoyed them too much with their tactics. The Democrats have become easy targets.

So while this result is a horrible reflection of this country and what it has become, the Democrats have a hand in it, too. They've made some horrible choices along the way. On a macro level, this is a sociological crisis, not a political crisis. This is, and has always been, about who and what we are as a country.

 

[Dekster]

This is not about my comfort or lack thereof. This OP is about what the voters are using to pick (or throw away) the nominees. Are they using their heads or are they using their hearts or genitals This applies to both sides and it applies to whether they are voting their religious beliefs (God or Satan) or using their heads to evaluate the data, statistics and facts.

If you cannot understand what the OP is about (after I took EXTRA effort to explain it), I have to think you may be using your genitals when answering this OP

You asked, "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?" I answered. It is that simple. There is no recourse. The election is over. We're stuck with what we are stuck with for better or worse.

The American People have spoken and have overwhelming REJECTED you and your MARXIST LENINIST ZOMBIE BULLSHIT.
STFU
GTFOH

[ColonelAngus]

I agree with OP. We should have only informed people voting.

In order to vote, everyone should have to pass a civics test to see if they understand how the government is structured and operates.

Great point OP. When ignorant vote, we all lose.

You asked, "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?" I answered. It is that simple. There is no recourse. The election is over. We're stuck with what we are stuck with for better or worse.

You are right, there is no recourse for this election. Nonetheless and as I have stated repeatedly in all my OP's, knowledge is power and under the circumtances that we face, we need to understand fully what we are facing so that we can prepare for it.

For example, the situation that is happening in the Iran situation. People there are all ideological driven by religion and they are even willing to strap themselves with dynamite and kill themselves for the benefit of going to where 72 virgins are waiting for them. Here in the U.S. we have more mass killings than any other country and they are mostly driven either by politics or mental illness.

This means that we need to understand what drives people so we can act the best way s that we can survive. This message board is a perfect example of what I am saying. Data, statistics and facts mean nothing. It is all blind faith and the cult mentality.

Understanding what we are facing will allow us to address it for the next election and address it for the next 4 years. Such mentality does not go away (as it has not gone away in Iran) and the way it has been addressed is militarily.

It is getting to the place that here in the U.S. that is going to be our future. That means a Civil War is likely in our future and possibly in our immediate future. Understanding that and preparing for it, is a necessity. That is the reason for the OP

Nearly Half of Americans Think US Could See Another Civil War​

May 21, 2024 — 47% of Americans think there is a likelihood of another U.S. Civil War in their lifetime. A slim majority (52%) think the possibility is either ...

New Civil Rights Monitor Poll Finds 73 Percent of Voters ...​

Oct 7, 2024 — A new poll found voters across the country are very worried about political violence (73 percent) and threats to democracy (81 percent).

That's rich coming from the crowd that nominated a senile, old fool and then decided to throw him overboard in favor of a blithering idiot when the rest of the country figured it out.

 

[The Duke]

Over the past 35 years, the Democrats at no time saw their nominee or elected president as a God. The Trumpers "and" Trump himself, see him as a God.

Do you believe there is a God? if you do believe there is a God, do you believe Trump is God (or chosen by God)?

We all want to know what you believe as to the question asked (no deflection on the answer accepted).

God is God and Trump is a man, you fucking moron!
Also when you plagiarize an entire article you're supposed to use quotation marks.

Yes, mistakes have been made because understanding of the REAL problem has not occurred and as such, the right tactics have not been used. That is what my OP's are about..........understanding............so that can come up with the right answers. Those answers are NOT "giving up and letting it to continue to happen".
