POLITICAL THREAD

[SenseMaker]

It's a ridiculous assertion.

You could make the same loose, intentionally unfavorable interpretation of Barry and his assent in politics, where he was at his peak, and get the same result for the same reasons.

Calling people members of a cult for supporting the continuation of the incredible accomplishments of Trump's presidency is viewing things through precisely the "us" vs"them" lens for which you derided others. It doesn't unify, but divide.

As I said, look in the mirror.

Sounds exactly like something a cult member would say SDC. Sorry bud. I just learned that today. 😉

On a serious not, the “if you don’t think like me, you’re a racist, xenophobic, homophobic, misogynist and now cultist bigot” mentality has hardened a lot of good people. It’s no coincidence that as the national leaders of the left pointed the bus to the far left and mashed on the gas the MSM magnified this type of rhetoric.

There’s really something going on called The Million MAGA March. There’s so many stupid people in this country. They know he lost right? And the host of the apprentice drove by. He eats all this up, which is all a narcissist like himself cares about anyways.. well that and the money he’s going to still be milking from them

You are just jealous that your boy can’t draw enough people to fill a phone booth.

Actually, the way the Democrats are trying to gain victory is exactly how Hitler came to power

Just read "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" and it'll lay out the entire gameplay which the Democrats are following.

 

[trueblujr2]

Yes, China did win because those who got their feelings hurt by Trump's abrasiveness voted against him not to mention rampant cheating. We'll get back to them later when they're paying taxes out their rear and gas is $4-5 a gallon. But at least they won't be "offended".

The problem with your statement is you said THEY will be paying higher taxes and higher gas prices. We ALL will be paying that because THEY got their feewings huwt. Just pray we hold the Senate and retake Congress in two years to stymie Harris and her progressive agenda.

 

[Bill Derington]

No, he wasn't. Typing back "Twitter, Facebook, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, Hollyweird" isn't at all an appropriate response to "Trump is a cultist, and here's why". "Twitter, Facebook, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, Hollyweird" don't have a single thing to do with:

http://cultresearch.org/help/characteristics-associated-with-cults/

It is however, a Strawman. Right there in that link above is rock-solid evidence of cult behavior, which is the topic at hand. You can't refute it, so instead you attack a softer target, a Strawman, something totally unrelated, that you can knock down: "Twitter, Facebook, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, Hollyweird".

Please refute the facts in the link above. Without typing "Twitter, Facebook, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, Hollyweird", please explain to me how the behavior of Trump's followers isn't right in-line with the cult behavior that's listed.

Are you completely ignoring your statement about Parler? That is the point the poster is replying to with the list of media sites.

The election was a joke this year, if you fail to realize that, it says more about you than those of us that bring it to light.

States eliminated signature match, ID requirements, extended time to receive ballots, eased mail in ballot requirements, and in some states mailed every registered voter a ballot as well as having voting booths.
States announced voting results while still collecting ballots, stopped counting on election night, announced they were stopping the count and then continuing after poll watchers left, and on and on.

It’s GD ridiculous that you have the audacity to ridicule us for not accepting this. We won’t accept this, no one should without integrity in elections what’s the point?

So, by your definition, someone who disagrees with you is a cultist. Ok. Do all of those orgs i listed only allow accepted views? The only answer is yes, that is all they allow. Hell, throw FNC in there too. Pretty nazi if you ask me or anyone else w a functioning brain.

Your post and attitude perfectly illustrate my earlier post. Your side has demonized AND dehumanized us so much that we have lost all common ground. Congrats thats what you wanted. This is what leads to libs murdering conservatives in cold blood.

And so what you dont recognize is that conservatives recognize this for what it is ... all the marbles. The US is over if half of the ppl think this is fraud.

And now it’s time to unite and heal.

Donald Trump is doing exactly what Hitler did to seize power, which is to file lawsuits and comply with judicial decisions while musing about running for office four years later after his opponent peacefully took office. The parallels are eery.

Wonderful! Hitler won.

Dee,
I reject your premise that Trump supporters are cultists. I'll take (waste) the time once because I only need to disprove your argument once. If you want to have an honest, thinking conversation, I'm all in. However, if you want to only be a snarky elitist, then please don't bother. Hopefully you appreciate me taking my valuable time to provide a more detailed answer.

First: you said, "Whatever he says is the actual truth, regardless of facts." My response ... bullshit. We (Trump supporters and the left) all know that Trump exaggerates to make his point. Sometimes I agree with his point and sometimes I don't, even on major policy issues. On the whole, I would say I generally agree to most of his statements. So ... we all know, when he says "greatest ______ ever", it is probably, more-than-likely, a stretch depending upon your point of view. The assertion that gets picked on the most, is "greatest economy ever". Depending upon your metric of choice, it may or may not be true. It is ridiculous to argue pre-COVID the US economy was not doing well, by any standards. Whether it was the "greatest" or not. Meh. So, I have just proven that we know not whatever he says is the actual truth. That is ridiculous. Disproven. Done. If you disagree, then that is your OPINION.

Regardless of whether I agree with Trump or not, I think conservatives have no place else to go. What do i mean by that? Even back to 2000, W's RNC was called "democrat-light". So, even back then, Democrats had a choice: full liberalism or incremental liberalism. Republicans ONLY real choice was incremental liberalism ... and both of them are selling out our country. Fast forward, that divide has grown by leaps and bounds. If Trump wins, you will lose nothing. I believe if Biden and Harris win, we will lose our country. This is our last stand IMO. We are too far off the cliff to recover otherwise. (Look at Biden's cabinet choices for crying out loud ... they all have China ties.)

Now for the larger point. Everything else you said is hilarious because it is so self-unaware. For example, you said we consider ourselves "self-exalted". LOL Have you ever heard the term "elitist" or "pointy-head intellectualist"? Those terms have been used to descibe "dem city folk" for a long time and for good reason. Do you know why? Because the "elites" think they know better than us. The real big brains too, like AOC or Pelosi. There was a post earlier about how Dems were going to have a celebration dinner while telling ppl they cannot spend the holidays with their family.

The next comment I'll point out: you said "anyone who disagrees [with conservatives] gets blocked or ignored". Again, your comment is so unaware of what is going on around us. You may not be aware (that was sarcasm), but there is this movement, started by the Soros left called Cancel Culture. By its definition, if you speak out or get uppity, you get cancelled or worse. Why is AOC starting a "list"? And do you support her in creating that list? Doesn't that seem a little Nazi to you? I'm not aware of conservatives "cancelling" people. That is very dehumanizing and destructive to our society. As a rebuttal you may consider FNC's demise, and that is the market at work. The left-leaning "news" is already covered in the market. Further in this rabbit hole, YOU said the right stays in their "echos [sic] chambers". I could pull in thousands of examples of liberal "echo chambers", but let's all watch this ONE example for one minute and 38 seconds. (h/t to @Gassy_Knowls):

Finally, you last thing you don't see (and I see @Bill Derington beat me to it! So maybe you do see it now?) ... you brought up Parler. That COMPLETELY opened the door for my response of all of your dis-information outlets (CNN, MSNBC, ...) which is the ONE part I was mostly responding too in the first place. Again, you are too self unaware to realize it.

I'm done with dis guy ... (and yes, the irony of me quoting a big city-slicker character, Vinny, is not "lost" on me in the least.)

T

You’re projecting, regurgitated thoughts you read elsewhere or given to you otherwise by media.

Look in the mirror.

The country is divided because the media has spent the last four years telling you half the country is racist, misogynist, fascist, cultist or some other -ist, when all they really want is the preservation of American values and freedoms, the environment to be self-sufficient.

You’ve turned American greatness into a slur.

After re-reading this ... it is such a good post. If ppl wanted to understand, you laid it out brilliantly and succinctly. Well done.

As soon as I see that someone compares Trump or anyone else to Hitler or a Nazi, I automatically conclude that they are not a serious person capable of rational and logical thought, and I disqualify them from making any well founded point.

Remember this , if the evil left gains control of all three forms of government then we have to take our fight to California and New York That’s who would control the leftist government until we make a stand. If they eliminated the electoral vote. Then California and New York elects our President from now on. Think about that. That’s why guns and ammo are bought out. The right is preparing for this battle . Let’s stand firm and strong. God bless America. I am 1000% committed to defend our constitution and my family against this radical takeover. Stand strong.

I am not a huge fan of Biden, but anybody who tries to make a case for Biden being a sexual deviant while supporting Trump is a baldfaced hypocrite. Heck Trump is on tape telling the world he is a sexual molester. Trumpsters are lying cowards with not a wit of integrity.

 

[KRJ1975]

I'll offer one point here for the doomsayers - let's say a Trump loss means the end of the country and full blown communism. If we are actually close to that happening, another 4 years isn't gonna make a difference - we are at critical mass already. I personally don't see the US leapfrogging left of all of western europe and Canada, but that's just my opinion. I've been known to be wrong.
