re: Exactly "WHAT" Is The Secret Of Trump's Popularity?[W:135]
Our celebrity worship culture. He is entertaining, and people want to be entertained. Same reason for the Kardashians popularity.
I seriously doubt it Jonny___
Seriously!
The
majority of the people that support Trump have very little in common with those of the
"celebrity worship culture"_
In fact; the
reality-tv/Kardashian followers are predominantly the younger liberal minded types,
such as millennials_
Which is not a
"generational characteristic" that sensible rational millennials such as myself are particularly proud of_ :bag:
It's not. He surged in popularity right after the Hate Flag was brought down from the South Carolina capitol after flying for decades. And Black Lives Matter. And fresh memories of the Baltimore riot and Ferguson riot. He has tapped into the deep fears of the straight cis white male, the fears of having to share this nation with Hispanics, Muslims, Blacks, liberals, and other people whom they do not consider to be people. He has done so by openly voicing this hate speech,
Here-in lies our dilemma:yt Please; read again what you have written here very carefully_
Liberals by nature view every disagreement as either
black or
white; with no areas for
grey_
All of their life decisions, solutions, politics and judgments are literally based on
raw emotion_
Everything
bad is entirely the result of either fear, racism, greed, phobias, intolerance or hate_
While everything
good is rooted in concern, selflessness, compassion, understanding and love_
Are you up for some fun in the interest of ideo-political honesty? :2wave:
Liberals don't understand that what they see as
hate is actually the difficult
realization that the only viable solution to a serious problem might result in a unavoidable high cost to a person or group that is either;
involved, possibly involved, or could become involved_
Let's scale a situation down from a national threat to a personal threat to create a more manageable scenario_
The Scenario: Let's suppose you have a wife and children and like most men you feel responsible for their safety_
Local news has reported for 6 months that a group of marauding Syrian refugees have been beating and robbing people_
And as the result of a record breaking blizzard, all roads have become impassable bringing all ground and air travel to a halt and knocked out all communications as well_
And late on the night of that blizzard a group men looking very middle eastern show up outside your door and tell you they are out of gas and stranded in the cold and ask you to let them in till the storm passes_
You know from experience that a school 2 miles down the road is used as a community shelter during emergencies_
Do you let them in? or send them walking 2 miles down the road in deep snow and blizzard conditions to the shelter?
And please do not
extenuate the
scenario in hope that your
answer will better prioritize your family_
If you truly
believe in your beliefs; then let the scenario
be what it is and the same for your answer!
which removes one of racists' whites biggest phobias: Having their racism called out.
I doubt too many
"whites" are all that concerned about
"having their racism called out" these days_
It has been happening so regularly, for so long that the stigma of being labeled a
"racist" has worn off_
Sorta like the boy who cried
wolf repeatedly until one day a wolf ate him as the people ignored his cries_
Empirica, it is not my place to tell you how to vote, but how you, as a woman, could even consider supporting that buffoon is beyond me. You might want to stop for a second and listen to how he (and many of his followers) talks about women.
Elections are about
priorities and considering the enormity of the problems and seriousness of the threats our nation is currently facing; women's rights and male chauvinism are pretty far down the list of
priorities in this election_
