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?

no.

 

[Nostra]

Are you running?

I agree with Lakookta. He does not have my vote.

 

[22lcidw]

If nothing else, I use data, statistics and facts to make my decisions. Can I guarantee that I am right? Absolutely NOT but at least the probabilities of my being right are much greater than someone that believes their leader is God (or chosen by God) and that the opposition is Satan (or just simply the worst possible).

I have been doing evaluations publicly and formally for 47 years and my "track record" has been "more often right than wrong".

What are your qualifications and track record? in order for us to even begin to think that your evaluation might be correct!

Progs live life so perfectly and yet in the inner cities as an example the ambulances alone run nonstop 24 hours a day. This with massive taxes to pay for it all.

Lemme tell you and Mac something, Percival: You are not going to be able to sophist your way out of the next 12 years.

STFU, nobody wants to hear your hot garbage. Fuck off with that, k? TIA.

And you'll melt down when trump doesn't make it 4 years.

what a stupid post that says nothing, does not address my post or the OP and is cherry picking on one single mini event that has absolutely nothing to do with anything discussed.

See post #95

What about it, I agree with what he said.

You are entitled to your opinion but then again, having said that your post means that you do like to waste your time and talk to brick walls incessantly. Hey, you are entitled to do what you want with your own time. Just do not criticize those that have different values

According to you, you've put more people on iggy in 4 months than I have in 12+ years. Shows how tolerant you are of opposing views.

BS post

What you talking about, that's the epicenter of kneepads voters. LMAO

Democrats aren't getting anywhere near power for at least 12 years or more.

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?

We know you don’t

 

[daveman]

Are you saying that using genitals and emotions are better than using brains and knowledge?

Not at all. He's saying using genitals and emotions is what Democrats do.

 

[daveman]

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".

Do you think talking down to people whose support you need is the right way to get it?

 

[daveman]

You are entitled to your opinion but then again, having said that your post means that you do like to waste your time and talk to brick walls incessantly. Hey, you are entitled to do what you want with your own time. Just do not criticize those that have different values

Like you've been doing? Why is it okay when you do it?

Hey, Luckyone...you missed a post.

 

[westwall]

Democrats aren't getting anywhere near power for at least 12 years or more.

Hopefully. Hopefully the government and their dirty tricks will be exposed. If that happens the dems and RINO's are finished.

We all know that. What does have to do with the OP?
