Turmp can change his mind mid sentence. He is the opposite of predictable.

When I saw Iewitness quote on yours, I was glad I wasn't eating, or drinking anything. I'd be cleaning off my laptop if I was.

There is individual psychology, and there is mass psychology. They are really 2 different concepts.

The psychology of the Trump movement is both fascinating & completely alarming. I call it a spell, but it's one of the strangest things we've ever witnessed as a nation.

I won’t bother pasting from it but here’s a link from a psychologist on TDS.

I find it to be both fascinating and alarming.

Hello Mott,

The lightning-fast ascent and political invincibility of Donald Trump has left many experts baffled and wondering, “How did we get here?” Any accurate and sufficient answer to that question must not only focus on Trump himself, but also on his uniquely loyal supporters. Given their extreme devotion and unwavering admiration for their highly unpredictable and often inflammatory leader, some have turned to the field of psychology for scientific explanations based on precise quantitative data and established theoretical frameworks.

Makes total sense.

It is all entirely logical.

'Dog Whistle' is code for propaganda. Trump, the demagogue, pushes propaganda in much the same way a drug dealer peddles his products.

Trump supporters are hooked on his schtick like junkies on drugs. It's not good for them, but they can't see that; and can't break free.

It's very much like a cult, isn't it? You've got your (to them) charismatic leader. You've got your belief system. You've got your group-think. You've got your us-few-against-the-[enemy].

You can sometimes deprogram an individual who has fallen prey to a cult. But how do you deprogram a mass quantity?

Well, it's interesting that they used to used "messiah" in a derogatory way about how Obama's supporters were. That's exactly what Trump is for them - they have ceded their thought to him.

According to a British writer about the US, whom I respect, the areas where a majority voted for Trump are also the areas of maximum consumption for opioids and for the earliest death of 'white' males.

You were the same way w/ Obama.

We can talk about your screen name again if you want.

So you can lie about it again? I never lost the ability to discuss Obama rationally.

I know people IRL who can’t discuss Trump rationally. It’s so bad I totally avoid the topic.

I think we've seen that kind of stuff before - the right was no different w/ Obama.

On the contrary. We looked within ourselves, became focused and energized, and took over the electorate. We didn't accuse the other side of being demented.

Remember the "deplorables" moment? That says it all. Defines the Democrat side, and energizes the GOP.

Guess you don't remember birtherism, and the endless campaign to portray Obama as a Muslim or some kind of "other."

Oh, you're a fan of Dr Hurd? Well, that explains a lot. Dr. Hurd is an Objectivist who thinks the fictional works of Ayn Rand are real.

Objectivism

"Rand described Objectivism as "the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute"."

Hello Darth,



Predictable response in lieu of embarrassment.



That is not a fact at all. It is an opinion. Those who cannot discern the difference between fact and opinion are likely to be Trump supporters.

The act of voting is an expression of opinion lol.

My stance on that was consistent- it didn't matter, since the SCOTUS would not attempt to overrule the electorate. Plus it was a fun distraction.

I've explained one reason why we support the man simply here.

Maybe your stance - but you were speaking w/ a "we" before, which I assume was supposed to be a statement for all who opposed Obama.

Many of them were just as bananas as TDSers. There really wasn't much difference at all - people lost their minds about Obama.
 
This Thread has nothing to do with Trump supporters. This Thread has everything to do with mop head starting off the week magnifying his superiority complex.

Not so much. All the shit that you are referring to was some outliers, magnified by the liberal press to make us all look like kooks. But the vast majority of us hunkered down and worked our asses off to change the GOP, and we succeeded.

Look at the results of what we did. We took over both houses of congress fairly quickly. The only thing that The Obama could do was write executive orders, which have mostly been "Trumped". We took over thousands of state offices as well. (Here in my state we now have huge majorities in both houses.) Then we took the presidency.

In contrast, the Dems have doubled-down on stupid, going full bore socialist, and calling us every name that they can think of. I'm going to enjoy the results immensely.
