MAGA 'hypnotizing' mediocre 'idiots' to think they’re geniuses: opinion

[SeaMajor7]

Your abuse has been reported.

It doesn't matter. Obama has a right to visit his family members in Africa. And he also has a right to be a Muslim if he wants to. That does not disqualify him from being president.

Again, you have confirmed your bigotry.

Jakarta is in Indonesia, IDIOT.
Now look up what a Madrassa is.....

Barack Hussein admitted on National TV that he was Muslim.

Barack Hussein admitted on National TV that he was Muslim.

Really? Link?

 

[SeaMajor7]

Barack Hussein admitted on National TV that he was Muslim.

"My Muslim faith."
-Barack Hussain Obama

Of course, Slopodopolus had to "correct" him.

Of course, that is what teammates do.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Racist men will date black women if they find them attractive. Hell, you would.

Sure sweety. Why did the NAACP give Trump an award?

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Yes. The Dunning-Kruger Effect. People who think they're more intelligent and accurately-informed than others, while essentially being the opposite. They think they know something special that others don't, and that makes them special, for once.

Flat Earthers. Qanon. MAGA. There's a great deal of population overlap, and behaviorial overlap, among those three groups, to no surprise.

It's always been exasperating, but now it's profoundly destructive.

Q….BOO!

 

[Alicia J]

Sure sweety. Why did the NAACP give Trump an award?

They didn't --

Award didn’t honor Trump for supporting black community

False. Trump was one of 87 people to be honored with the Ellis Island Medal of Honor in 1986 for his successful work as a developer in New York City, not for his work within the black community.

Saul Alinsky's Strategy of Accusation​

Overview of Accusation Tactics​

Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" includes a strategy often summarized as "accuse your enemy of what you are doing." This tactic is a form of psychological projection, where one party attributes its own negative behaviors or actions to its opponents. This method serves to deflect criticism and manipulate public perception.

Key Aspects of the Accusation Strategy​

• Deflection of Criticism: By accusing opponents of similar faults, the accuser can divert attention from their own actions.
• Manipulation of Public Perception: This tactic can create confusion and uncertainty among the public, making it harder for them to discern the truth.
• Psychological Impact: The strategy can instill fear and insecurity in the opposition, as they may feel pressured to respond to accusations rather than focus on their own agenda.

Implications of the Strategy​

Using this tactic can lead to a cycle of accusations that complicates political discourse. It can undermine trust and create a hostile environment where constructive dialogue is difficult. Alinsky's approach emphasizes the importance of understanding and leveraging psychological tactics in activism and organizing.

In summary, Alinsky's rules highlight the effectiveness of using accusations as a strategic tool in political movements, aiming to shift the narrative and maintain the upper hand in confrontations.

Just waiting for lefties to scream, “WE DO NOT USE THE STRATEGY OF ACCUSATION! THAT IS WHAT MAGAts DO!!”

Saying that Obama is a Muslim born in Kenya and an illegitimate president is racism/bigotry....especially when there is ZERO evidence that it is true.

Oh? Let's talk about his Social Security number, dumbass.
Here's the number: 042-68-4425

Fact Check: Did Barack Obama use a stolen Social Security number from Jean Paul Ludwig?

An X post claims that Obama illegally acquired the SSN of Jean Paul Ludwig, a man born in 1890 who later died in Hawaii, to 'occupy the White House'

And then there's this:

Where is 042 on there? Certainly NOT Hawaii. Where was his mother from? Kansas.
We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto.

Why would the NAACP honor a racist?

 

[Lockback]

One of the biggest appeals of Trump is that he is a proud, unexceptional racist with a lot of money....And that is very appealing to the millions of poor, unsuccessful racist white people out there.

You're the answer to the question, "How much shit can be packed into one worthless human being?"

 

[Lockback]

Yes. The Dunning-Kruger Effect. People who think they're more intelligent and accurately-informed than others, while essentially being the opposite. They think they know something special that others don't, and that makes them special, for once.

Democrats. Communists. University professors. Mainstream media commentators. There's a great deal of population overlap, and behaviorial overlap, among those three groups, to no surprise.

It's always been exasperating, but now it's profoundly destructive.

There.
I fixed it for you.

 

[The Duke]

Why would the NAACP honor a racist?

I don't think that's the NAACP, is it? It's a NY thing?

 

[Alicia J]

Why would the NAACP honor a racist?

They didn't, as I just posted for you. Are you simple?

President Donald Trump’s political brand is based on convincing unexceptional people that they are better than they actually are, but one critic says he's doing so at the expense of exceptional people who happen to belong to marginalized communities.

“Donald Trump is literally hypnotizing mediocre people into thinking that they are meritocratic geniuses, while telling highly accomplished Black, Brown, and Asian people that they are nothing — that everything they have was given to them by those same mediocre people,” liberal commentator Joy-Ann Reid said on Tuesday in an episode of “The Left Hook with Wajahat Ali and Joy-Ann Reid.” The pundit elaborated that Trump and his administration promote the idea that white men do not need to prove their merit because, by virtue of being white men, they are already exceptional.

“They're literally seeing a deficit of white men even trying to go to college now, because they're being told: you don't have to do anything, you just have to be,” Reid said. “You just have to exist as a white man and you're qualified to do anything. You can be a neurosurgeon — just walk in there, use your brilliant European brain, and start operating on people. You're fine. You don't need to know anything. But Black people, according to the late Charlie Kirk, can't even be a pilot — even after going to school to become one. If they're sitting behind the wheel of a Cessna, the claim is they don't know how to do it, that they were just pulled off the street and thrown into the chair.”

Not only do these arguments hurt ordinary people by encouraging discrimination, Reid argued; they also hurt the American economy and do damage to the government when second-rate leaders inevitably stumble at their jobs.

This is actually an Alternet piece.
Never posted an Alternet piece before, but this was simply to delicious to pass up.

I've seen a very interesting, unprecedented shift lately among the left - as they get more and more desperate, and fail over and over in every way (including their efforts to kill Trump), they're starting to assign supernatural power to him.

It reminds me of the way the primitive tribes of conquered territories regarded their colonial overlords.

This will be studied by future scholars.
