Did you see the TV clip of the Republican woman at the Justin Amash townhall? The reporter asked her as a Republican what she thought of Amash's reasoning for backing impeachment, and the woman replied how surprised she was to learn that there is something negative about Trump in the Mueller Report. This lady was not emotional or distraught, just surprised. She said she listened to conservative media and never knew the report laid out indictable charges. I think many are like this lady, uninformed.
Sure did. She IS the VAST MAJORITY of Americans.
As I warned for YEARS. Trump is not dumb. He really does have genius in some areas, like propaganda, self promotion and mass manipulation.
ever read Wilhelm Reich? He wrote The Mass Psychology of Fascism. He wrote it about Hitler but he could have written it about Trump.
Some quotes from the book:
“It was one of the greatest errors in evaluating dictatorship to say that the dictator forces himself on society against its own will. In reality, every dictator in history was nothing but the accentuation of already existing state ideas which he had only to exaggerate in order to gain power”
“Even more essential, however, is the
identification of the individuals in the masses with the "führer." The more helpless the "mass-individual" has become, owing to his upbringing, the more pronounced is his identification with the führer, and the more the childish need for protection is disguised in the form of a feeling at one with the führer. This inclination to identify is the psychological basis of national narcissism, i.e., of the self-confidence that individual man derives from the "greatness of the nation." The reactionary lower middle-class man perceives
himself in the führer, in the authoritarian state. On the basis of this identification he feels himself to be a defender of the "national heritage," of the "nation," which does not prevent him, likewise on the basis of this identification, from simultaneously despising "the masses" and confronting them as an individual. The wretchedness of his material and sexual situation is so overshadowed by the exalting idea of belonging to a master race and having a brilliant führer that, as time goes on, he ceases to realize how completely he has sunk to a position of insignificant, blind allegiance."
