I had a small part in actually deprogramming a cult member many years ago. It did work. Based on everything I learned from that process, maga certainly fits the definition of a cult. A necessary component in the process is the help and involvement of former member of the same cult. |
+2 The way they keep having to go back decades to find comparisons does nothing but emphasize the fact that we are moving backwards. |
This is why our country is in trouble
https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3lsevf36tpc2v CNN: INTEL ASSESSMENT CONTRADICTS TRUMP MSNBC: CEASEFIRE HANGING BY A THREAD FOX NEWS:IS TRUMP A MOUNT RUSHMORE LEVEL PRESIDENT? Seriously, this is insane. |
At this point MAGA would rather have a volatile elderly man with dementia with the fate of the country in his hands as president than replace him with someone grounded who isn’t willing to send the country over Niagara Falls in a barrel to save his fragile ego. I think of Judgement of Solomon— Trump would cut the baby in half to “win.”
Convincing MAGA they’re not “winning” with Trump will be very, very difficult. |
I mean she wasn’t wrong about the whole deplorables thing.., a basket of deplorables wasn’t it? The only thing she was guilty of was thinking she too could say the quiet part out loud. That’s strictly Trump and Maga territory. And if it weren’t true it wouldn’t have stung. Women and Democrats are expected to be better. No grab em by the p#%*?y. This expectation, the impossible standard, is the achilles' heel of female candidates specifically and the Democratic party generally. |
I don’t think the “deplorables” comment cost her the election. The deplorables weren’t going to vote for her anyway.
|
They are a lost cause at this point. The only thing that will convince MAGA is if they lose all their businesses and any money they have accumulated because of another Republican recession. You know it's going to happen, it always does. |
Exactly. MAGA is always looking to be offended. Unfortunately, HRC gave them this with sound byte, which removed the context. MAGA are the ultimate in violent snowflake cult. |
Yes, she only meant half of Republicans are "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic." That's so much better. |
Half of trump supporters, not Republicans. Lying down with dogs does has a hell of an effect though. |
It was a contributing factor because it caused Independents to see her as a condescending, arrogant harridan. It revealed her crass character turning people away from voting for her or voting against such a repugnant woman. Her anti-gun and anti-Christian comments further dug a hole this awful hag dug for herself. |
She wasn't wrong.
|
Did she lie? No? Then what is the issue? I think we are seeing the full republican party with their masks and hoods off now. |
Yes, because the right wing media took her comment out of context. The full quote was actually very accurate and spot on. |
The only thing she was guilty of was thinking she too could say the quiet part out loud. That’s strictly Trump and Maga territory. That needed to be repeated. It is so true. |
