Mark my words, trump's support will evaporate and shock most when it does

[smallvoice]

Give it up, guys. All the BS is getting tired and boring, Tell me what the Dems will do to make America greater.

I Can! I Can!
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

Bernie Sanders has a lot more to offer the country than every Republican in Congress combined.

Yeah: poverty, dysfunction and lawlessness. No thanks.

Getting farmers back to work and having markets to sell to would be a good start.

You should probably share the context for this post of yours as it's sorta empty w/o it.

This wasn't about him not lying, it's about declaring everything he says is a lie.

This extends to the stupid crap. Like fact checking his jokes, and his off hand comments, or his opinions.
When you have people fact checking his "burgers stacked to the ceiling" line, about the Whitehouse dinner. Then you're getting into some rather petty territory.

It actually says that no one can find a lie which Trump has told.

From the OP of that thread:

"Trump is an honest man so it’s doubtful you will find any legitimate lies."​

It literally calls Trump an honest politician.
It also says that no one can find any lie Trump has told.

That's delusional stuff to say about a politician.
imho
Obviously, ymmv

Much from South America.
Unless it's processed garbage, then it comes from chemical companies making food like substances.

Given the reality of things, you didn't notice such an obvious troll.

1st it's probably against the rules to accuse someone of trolling
B. that was not the only thread of its kind
3. comments which express a sentiment similar to that OP are spread through out DP
d) I understand that it's hard to believe that real people could actually believe such things — but trust me, human actively believe these things and wackier things

Yes, it is getting tired and boring but that is exactly the problem Trump has, he is not doing anything to counteract the tired and boring attitude. People are into supporting positive results and tire easily when having to defend negatives, which almost come out daily.

You post is absolute proof of what I am saying. Wouldn't it be fun to talk about a positive resolution to the Trade War? debt narrowing? Infrastructure repairing or building new projects? Unity instead of hate against the opponent? Transparency instead of lying?

Who doesn't get tired and boring of defending incompetency?

 

[Luckyone]

Thats not how cults work. In a cult, the adherence is from a limited number but their support is a mile deep. Since you couldnt get your first sentence right, there is no reason to read the rest of your garbage.

You absolutely correct in your statement about "mile deep".

 

[snakestretcher]

I know I will probably regret this...but what is YOUR criteria for being a "cult" member and how do YOU make that decision about people you have never met or had an actual conversation with?

I never met or spoke with a Scientologist but you tell me Scientology isn't a cult. Cults, and their acolytes, are quite easy to recognise; the adherents can never admit to any wrongdoing in whoever they're allied with; they support, unconditionally, everything their leader says and does, and their defensiveness is equally easy to spot if you dare challenge them and their beliefs. See, that was easy wasn't it?

 

[Luckyone]

Thats odd, because the most poorly educated live in inner cities like Baltimore where 1/3 of their public schools have zero students proficient in math. Zero. Yet they all vote for democrats. So I guess in truth, it is you libs that love the poorly educated since it is you libs who run the education systems that are failing them.

It is a shame that your post is so full of misinformation:

Crisis in Rural American Education

There are 467 counties in the USA where at least 20% of the working age population lacks a high school diploma. 80% of these counties are located in rural areas according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). In 1960, 60% of adults living in rural areas had not completed high school. Today that proportion has dropped down to 15%, so there has been a dramatic increase in rural Americans completing high school. During that same time, rural adults with a bachelor’s degree has increased from 5% to 19%; versus a 33% rate in urban areas. At the same time, adults with bachelor’s degrees average $41,030 in rural areas and $51,564 in urban areas, while with a graduate or professional degree rural residents make $51,996 versus $70,146 in urban areas. Rural America educates 6.5 million students, which is more than the 20 largest urban school districts combined.

Just 29% of 18-24 year-olds in rural areas are enrolled in college, compared to 47% of their urban peers, according to the New York Times. When looking at the quality of education, 47.2% of rural school districts do not have any secondary students enrolled in Advanced Placement (AP), while that is only the case in 2.6% of urban districts. So there is a real disconnect regarding equal access to educational opportunity.

Have you ever known any cult members? I have. I have a family member who was part of a true cult. I have never said that Scientologist aren't in a cult. You are too quick to categorize "cult" members, and I find it odd that anyone who makes the decision to support Trump is considered part of "cult". That is not factual. I know many Trump supporters in our community who range from school teachers, to Presidents of Companies. Supporting our President does not make on a cult member.

 

[Simpletruther]

trump has support that's 'a mile wide but not deep' from his cult. All they see now are the dazzling lights of his cons, but at some point, just watch.

I don't know when that will be. There was a movie, "A face in the crowd", tarring Andy Griffith, when he played a very trump-like character who became a very powerful voice in American politics. He just mowed down political opponents.

Someone close to him saw the danger he posed, and recorded him talking about his supporters as idiots, and aired it. His fame and power were ended immediately. That's one way.

It could be when trump does something his base strongly disapproves of - or simply when he leaves office and Republican politicians turn on him. It's hard to say what the event will be.

But at some point, a lot of people are going to come out of the cult, wonder what they had been thinking, and start saying they never much liked him anyway.

They can't see it now, but they will. In 1972, Nixon was re-elected winning 49 states. Less than two years later he had support in the 20 percent's, and was the most reviled president in history. And he had decades of history with America as a leading politician. He had actual accomplishments, and a lot less cynical country (until his crimes made them more cynical).

There's no 'there there' to trump's support. It's not really about him. It's a sugar high, it's hate and resentment and 'haha screw you establishment you don't like trump but we forced him on you', that's intense for his followers but has no solidity, no substance, nothing to make it last.

His power comes from the fear of the rest of his party's politicians saying 'the Emperor has great clothes', but that will evaporate the first chance that comes along. Some have already abandoned him, but the big rush will be at some key event. I won't mention other leaders who went from personality cults to despised, beyond a few examples, Hitler, Mao, Stalin, whose deeds have almost nothing to do with trump.

But their maniacal personality cults went far further than trump can dream - yet collapsed overnight. See the name of the city of 'Stalingrad' for just one example. And they, too, had much more substance than empty suit trump - Stalin winning WWII, Mao winning a revolution in China, etc. They had substance (and great evil deeds) trump does not. He's OBADA - One big ass distraction, America.

Even his opponents will go through some of the same experience.

They'll come to realize he wasn't the real issue, and they were too worked up over him instead of the real issues. trump would like to be a great change agent like a Mao or a Stalin or a you know who, and if he could, this would be a different situation, but he can't and won't. He's just a con man who isn't doing anything but trolling and reaching new lows of incompetence for the office he has. He'll be seen like Sarah Palin.

There is some truth in the mix here. But maybe you too will wake up on thst day and not see him as a want to be Hitler.

Nonetheless, being blind to facts does make a person a cult member. When facts are dismissed and only the accomplishments are seen, it is a cult.

No one (and I do mean no one) is perfect and when that fact is thrown away, your are a blind cult member. This is especially true given that Trump has only shown 3 positives (all associated with money) and at least 17 negatives that are associated with money and everything else that affect the human psyche. When that kind of preponderance for the negative is ignored, you are a cult member.

It is a shame that your post is so full of misinformation:

Where was the misinformation in my post? I made a post about Baltimore and you replied with a post about rural America. Is it really that hard for you to focus or did you just assume that dishonesty was your best option for a reply?

Actually not, but I already address how this applies to trump opponents at the end of the post, if you'd read all of it.

No one said everyone who supports trump is a cultist. Millions are. There are other reasons also, I won't try to list them, but they include corruption and idiocy (such as people who don't understand or care about politics but are 'entertained' by his reality tv type trolling and name-calling) and simply ignorance or falling for cons, hating Democrats, etc.

Those that I know who support our President are without a doubt not "cultists", including myself. We have never had a perfect President and we never will.

Unless YOU personally know "millions" you have no way to truly judge them. You are free to offer that as your opinion, but that is all it is, your opinion. It is not backed up by fact.

Wrong on the first part, and right on the second - this is inherently 'opinion'. NO ONE is a 'member of a cult' except as a matter of opinion, unless there were some cult named 'cult' that said they are a cult and people were formally members. Can you name any of those?

Ah, the old "not perfect" logical fallacy/rhetorical device. Hitler wasn't perfect - no leader is. So, don't criticize trump! No leader is perfect, so you can't say anything bad! Your lack of awareness of the cult only says something about you.

Wow, a cultist could never have said it any better.................Agreement that no one is perfect (known fact) but full support to someone that can do nothing right.


1) failure to stop illegal immigration
2) failure to get an infrastructure program going
3) failure to institute a Health Care program
4) failure to reduce the Federal Debt
5) failure to unite the country
6) failure to reduce spending
7) failure to address natural disasters such as the one in Puerto Rico
8) failure to stop the revolving door in his cabinet and in the White House
9) failure to get competent people to help run the country
10) failure to attack (not stoke) racism
11) Failure to solve the Trade War that he himself created

I sure can. I have a family member who was indeed in a cult. One that received a great deal of publicity and was proclaimed a cult. I have seen the impact of a cult member, and the struggle to get back to a normal life. As far as Trump members being in a cult, from those I know there is no equivalency to a true "cult".
