Many voters supporting the former president also rated him as more truthful than their own friends and family
It’s because they are literal fascists.
Yeah, I’ve said it a bunch of times. Gonna keep saying it, because it’s true.
Are you ready for the people who don’t understand what fascism is to tell you that you’ve got it wrong?
It blows my mind that people can’t accept that the Nazis had the same enemies that the Christian Nationalists do today: sexual, religious, and ethnic minorities & leftists. It’s not a coincidence, it’s a plan.
It’s the way history is taught in the US. We gloss over any wrong-doing by US leaders, whitewash American history while discussing pretty openly the failings of other states and forms of government…US educated children are (and I mean this word…literally) LITERALLY brainwashed into thinking that things like the vague concept of “fascism” existing only in Germany in the 30s-40s. If it’s not actual swastikas and red flags on every street corner with Jews being rounded up and killed by the millions…then it can’t be fascism.
Our education system is severely lacking in a lot of ways, but not knowing how to put history in proper context while explaining how everything that’s happened has led to today and the exact conditions we are in now is one of its gravest failures.
Not to mention, painting capitalism—a system that breeds people to viciously live in spite of others—as infallible and the final and only answer. That’s another horrible heavy dose of indoctrination that is just treated as a given.
Are you ready for the people who don’t understand what fascism is to tell you that you’ve got it wrong?
Yup.
It doesn’t matter what they say…
Because they just fucking lie about everything.
Like a spouse that hits you and says it’s because “they love you so much”. That’s obviously not the real reason, but if they were honest there might be consequences so they just say some random bullshit.
Indictments or not, 100% of these idiots would still be voting for trump
I don’t think that’s true. The indictments have actually caused a surge in support for Trump. Many of these voters are specifically supporting him because of the indictments, as horrifying as that is.
Because he’s the only candidate who has expressly promises to make the lives of people they hate worse
Of course, that means their own lives will be worse, but they’re not smart
There’s an old Russian proverb about a man who finds some magic creature, I can’t remember what exactly. It tells him he can have anything he wants, on the condition that his greatest enemy will get the same thing. “In that case,” the man says, “take one of my eyes…”
Was it his worst enemy would get twice as much?
No, I think the point was that many people would rather make their enemies suffer alongside themselves than share in something good.
I mean was the Russian proverb that you can wish for what you want, but your worst enemy will get twice as much. Answering losing one eye means your worst enemy will lose two.
Despite Trump’s countless lies, 71 percent of Trump voters believe he is a source of “true” information, beating even their own friends and family, who ranked second with 63 percent.
We have a term for this in English. It’s called a cult.
It was always weird to me how cults worked even with people’s friends and family saying otherwise. But here it is.
Years of conditioning from all angles to create an alternate reality. Happens all over the world.
More proof we are living in an idiocracy.
It’s worse than Idiocracy. In Idiocracy, the president recognized there was a problem and hired the smartest man to fix the problem. Later on he even stepped down as president and appointed the smart guy to take his place.
We could only wish the Republicans had someone with that much integrity.
Spoilers. 🤪
That summary leaves out A LOT.
Yeah, it doesn’t even get into Upgrayedd.
To say that these people are idiots would be an understatement.
That woman in the front row is bugging me out…
She’s got “scary Bilbo” energy
Check out zombie lady at the lower right hand corner too.
What. The sign with blue “Lord” and “President Trump” don’t irk you? 😅😬
That’s certainly weird, but the lady up front sums up the whole cult of personality issue.
It’s because he’s making himself out to be a martyr who is challenging a corrupt system, which is why “the system” doesn’t like him and is trying to steal what is rightfully his.
See? He’s the one fighting the true corruption!!
Honestly, anyone who still buys into this shit at this point is dead to me.
It’s funny to see so many Southern states follow and worship one of the most corrupt mafia tycoons from the most northern state there is, New York.
Keep 'em uneducated and they’ll latch onto any face-value promises.
It’s ironic because the system is truly corrupt, but he’s the worst of it.
Well, the worst at hiding it, at the very least.
I bet there is a significant portion of his base that thinks they’ve got it all figured out, proper iamverysmart or iamverybadass stuff.
They see the same in him as themselves: stupid unjustified confidence and just spouting off random thoughts as truths. Just being an abrasive dickhead, but in a way that makes others feel embarrassed to even listen to them.
Trying to find any melanin in that crowd shot is literally the worst kind of “Where’s Waldo”.
Just such an insane photo in general.
The all white crowd? The absolutely insane looking lady, holding the scared looking baby? The “Thank You, Lord JESUS, FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP” sign?
This is TDS just on the Trump side, complete morons, anyone who idolizes politicians is dumb as fuck
Look at that woman’s face….
TDS was always a way to turn their cult around on sane people. Literally every criticism they just said, nah, you got TDS.
🤦♂️
Despite Trump’s countless lies, 71 percent of Trump voters believe he is a source of “true” information, beating even their own friends and family, who ranked second with 63 percent
And they deserve to be cut out forever after this. There are no words for this kind of behavior.
That poor baby.
Trying to scroll through that site is a nightmare of mobile pop ups and interruptions. Clearly they’re not about getting information on anything to people when an ad covers 70% of the screen centered over the article.
And these are the human beings I cut out of my life
Like a cult, we have to start treating them like victims instead of reasonable political party
Members of a normal cult are victims. Members of a cult with millions of members are a threat.
