Trump - Lies?
As the campaign comes to a close Trump continues his lies. Yet, the polls are 50/50. Which only shows the American people are brainwashed idiots. I will not vote for Trump, but if I was a betting man, I would put my money on Trump. Who knows what will happen if he loses. Trump/MAGA must be eliminated from our government. That will take a while. We need anti-Trump voters to help kill this cult. If you are a real American, you will not vote for Trump and God help America if he wins. Even when Trump is gone this fascism lingers in our government. It must be purged. The fight goes on for a long time, so do not give up the good fight. Vote for Harris!
As Trump howls, "rigged" and "not fair", HE won an election truly rigged in his favor by the electoral college. If we had fair system of electing a president where every vote and voter counted equally, he'd never have been able to divide our people and destroy our history of peaceful transfer of power.
ReplyDeleteI fear the electoral way of electing a president will have triggered the fall of the republic. Minority rule and democracy don't mix, especially when the minority has a pathological liar, autocrat, and insurrectionist for a leader.
It is an antiquated law (over 250 years old). The founders gave us a process to change the Constitution, we should use it.
DeleteThe electoral college is a curse. A poison pill for democracy. It allows a tyranny of the minority in both electoral power and the power to obstruct an amendment to remove it.
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens when a system is founded by white property owners and slave owners that allowed only their kind to vote. The EC was the perfect foil for any progressive suffrage to follow.
Do you think the people care enough to change the EC to achieve 2/3rdsto of the States vote to change the Constitution?
DeleteSam,
ReplyDeleteSadly, most people don't seem to care enough to think about the EC, and EVERY Republican wants to keep it rigged for their minority rule.
This is why I call it a curse. It is essentially a permanently implanted poison pill for democracy.
Yes, we must save DEMOCRACY! The DemocRAT candidate did not receive one single primary vote for president. A coup of the leftists removed the senile and corrupt Biden because they saw him losing in the general election. Kamala is an idiot and is admittedly a female DEI version of Biden who agrees with all of his disastrous policies. But yes, vote for "democracy".
ReplyDeleteThat damned constitution sure does get in the way of that sometimes, doesn't it? When Kamala wins in less than a month due to ignorance and people that hate Trump more than they love America, I will have nowhere left to go in the world. Reagan was right that freedom is only one generation away from extinction. That time may be now. At least we will have the "right" to kill our unborn children and mutilate the genitals of our teens. That is what true democracy is all about as our poor and elderly suffer under the economic Marxism championed by these leftists. God help us all!
Welcome Darrell. I want your opinions.
DeleteI consider abortion the least of the issues in this important election. I know it is important to you, but to me there are more important issues in this election.
I have to back the people in this election. I see Harris as representing the people more than Trump. Make America Great Again also includes morals that Trump does not follow like honesty.
There is something wrong with Joe and that's why he quit. It is totally normal Joe would pick his Vice-President to be the candidate. There are many unhappy with Harris as our candidate, but does that mean we have to vote for a con man like Trump? NO.
It has been a rock-solid belief of mine that any benefits the federal government hands out should go to the people, not corporations in tax cuts.
I know you and I disagree on this, but I value your opinion and friendship. Please continue to come and tell me where I am wrong. Sam.
ReplyDeleteI too am glad to see Darrell's remarks. I'm not so glad for the content.
"DemocRAT".
See how Darrell doubles down on Trump's neo-Nazi hate in calling anyone who opposes him "vermin".
“We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections."
This WAS Hitler’s rhetoric. It has become Trump’s rhetoric. And now it is infecting Darrell’s belief system.
It is pure hate and projection. Trump lied about massive fraud and a "stolen election" as he sent an angry mob to desecrate the Capitol, terrorize Congress, and beat cops bloody to STEAL the FAIR election he LOST. The fact he allowed their rampage to continue for HOURS makes it clear he wanted them to succeed, even if they killed Mike Pence. "So what" was his reaction to that possibility.
Now Darrell BELIEVES I am a "communist", despite my NEVER espousing a one-party “dictatorship of the proletariat” and government ownership of all industry, agriculture, production, and distribution.
That is what communism really is.
Now it's just another hate word from neo-Nazis and the deluded souls who BELIEVE Trump is telling them the truth, and that "Kamala is an idiot and is admittedly a female DEI version", who “seems genetically incapable of putting together a coherent thought”.
Holy Hitler, Batman! All those tiki torch goons would whole heartedly agree with Darrell. Does he even consider this?
Darrell knows damn well there was no time for a primary after Biden resigned, and that Kamala's name WAS ON THE PRIMARY BALLOTS that Democrats overwhelmingly cast.
He really can't help himself. By BELEIVING Trump's election lies and supporting him after his criminal and bloody attempts to STEAL the election, he has surrendered his capacity for reasoning with facts. Character, honor, honesty, and decency no longer matter to him in our nation’s leadership. He supports a criminal and hates a prosecutor.
It takes a lot of mental twisting and ungrounded rationalization to reach that point. I’m giving him the benefit here. Racists don’t need to bother with ungrounded rationalization. They just hate. Darrell was never like that in past years.
He wants the entire nation to conform to his religious beliefs and culture war resentments. He pretends Democrats WANT abortions for no real reason, and that Democrats WANT to "mutilate teens" and to impose "economic Marxism", whatever that means to him. As with his false accusation of me being a communist, it is futile to ask him to define those terms and to cite examples.
What he really wants is CONTROL of women and transgenders. He cannot seem to mind his own business. This is the nature of the authoritarian personality.
But he is also in an EMOTIONAL panic. Once someone drinks the fascist koolade of hate and lies and thinks the commies are taking over, there is no reasoning with them. Does he BELIEVE the LEGAL Haitian immigrants in Springfield OH are “eating the dogs”? I’m afraid I have to assume so. Even if he doesn’t buy that, he will still vote for the man who spews that kind of racist lie.
I know Darrell is basically a good person, but he has fallen under the dark spell of the hate and lies of the radical neo-fascist Right. Do not be deceived. This is white nationalism.
So now he will vote for a narcissistic conman, an adjudicated and admitted sex offender, insurrectionist, racist hate merchant, and criminal whose lies have found their way into his head.
I fear he has wrapped his heart and conscience in white nationalist Trumpism so thoroughly we can no longer appeal to his better nature.
This is exactly how fascism came to Germany. This is exactly how fascism comes to America.
Sam, I too value your opinion and friendship, even though we don't always agree.
ReplyDeleteAbortion is important because it is almost never necessary to save the life of the mother. When such cases arise, there are no states that have laws to punish doctors in helping with ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages. Taking the religious aspect completely out of the argument, the killing of an unborn child is biologically/scientifically the murder of a human being. It is the PRIMARY purpose of our government to protect its citizens lives, liberties, and freedoms in pursuit of happiness, especially the most vulnerable among us. I remember when Clinton wanted abortion to be "rare, legal, and safe". Now we have Democrats voting against saving the life of a failed abortion baby that is actually born alive. THIS is demonic and ghoulish.
I understand people's distaste for Trump and I share many of those same aversions. He is NOT who I voted for in the primary once again. Regardless, I saw how the economy helped the poor and elderly under Trump. I saw how the Abraham Accords and peace through strength brought security to the country. I saw how his deregulation and returning powers to the states helped improve freedom as is supposed to be the case under the 10th amendment. I also saw how Biden/Harris governed. How they accepted bribes from China etc., opened the borders, weaponized law enforcement against their political enemies, and outright lied about the mental fitness of Joe to govern. They are con-men and charlatans. Kamala continues to dodge tough interviews while Trump is dodging bullets from the mostly peaceful leftists.
No, I do not like Trump at all, but I am mature enough to see that his policies are better for America than the freedom-stealing and economic ruinous policies of Kamala.
I know Trump is a narcissist. (Most presidential aspirants are.) That said, I would rather vote for someone that does the right things for the wrong reasons than for someone that does the wrong things for the wrong reasons.
The poorest among us will not survive four more years of inflation, high interest rates, and economic decline. Let alone the dangerousness of the world and our enemies as we inch ever closer to WWIII under Biden/Harris. Harris is the problem. Not the answer.
Trump on Kamala Harris in Aurora:
ReplyDelete"She's a criminal"
"The enemy from within. All the scum that we have to deal with that hate our country. That's a bigger enemy than China and Russia."
This is how a fascist dictator talks about his opponents and immigrants of color. If anyone agrees with Trump that I am such “Commie vermin” and an “enemy within that hates America”, he’s gone over to the dark side of fascism.
Example of such fascist demonization: "Trump is dodging bullets from the mostly peaceful leftists".
Let’s have a reality check:
https://www.bu.edu/articles/2024/was-the-shooting-of-donald-trump-political-violence-or-something-else/
Crooks was a mentally ill lost soul, and a registered Republican, but donated to Democrats.
"Experts say Crooks’ motives may have been more attention-getting than political. His planning was bipartisan: a review of his phone showed searches for Trump as well as Biden, and the Democratic National Convention. Investigators also say the 20-year-old had been bullied in school and grown enamored of gun culture."
And:
https://apnews.com/article/trump-assassination-attempt-suspect-ukraine-f76ed09f256f6bd21727a10901d92af7
Ryan Routh was also mentally unwound, a small-time felon and loner. As part of a plea deal, Routh agreed to undergo a mental health evaluation
In his book, listed on Amazon and viewed by the AP, Routh said, “I get so tired of people asking me if I am a Democrat or Republican as I refuse to be put in a category.” He was obsessed with Ukraine's struggle against Trump's partner in tyranny Putin.
(Trump even sent his tyrant pal Putin much needed covid detection equipment at the onset of the pandemic. “America first”, my ass!!)
But Darrell was quick to put Democrats in the same category as those two sick individuals. This actually reveals a hateful sickness in Darrell's soul.
This is what Trump's own chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said about him:
“We don’t take an oath to a king, or queen, or to a tyrant or a dictator. And we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We don’t take an oath to an individual. We take an oath to the Constitution…and we’re willing to die to protect it.” – Gen. Mark Milley (2023)
Mark Milley to Bob Woodward: Trump “the most dangerous person ever. I had suspicions when I talked… about his mental decline & so forth, but now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is now the most dangerous person to this country. A fascist to the core.”
Does Darrell think he's another commie like he sees me? Sadly, I would not be surprised. He also believes an embryo is a "citizen".
He probably doesn't care that Hitler's Nazis also banned abortion so their women could breed for the Fuhrer. It is tyranny in both cases. Real citizens called "women" have suffered and died as a result of the Trump abortion ban. Does he even care about them?
No. A zygote has more rights than a woman does. This is a very extreme position rejected by the great majority of Americans. Minority rule has always been the conservative Republican/Trumpist plan.
Darrell,
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind that I post Dave's opinions as I print yours.
You and I have disagreed about abortion just as the country has for decades. There are two good opinions. Yours based in religious convictions and Dave's based on secular rights. When Row/Wade was passed we did not have the scientific facts we have today, even so, millions believe a woman has a right to make decisions about her own body. Is a fetus her own body? I believe it is. You do not, thus our disagreement. I should note I am an atheist.
Dave goes overboard with his Nazi/Hitler comparisons, which does no good for the good faith efforts in a debate between opposing sides. I apologize that he included you in his attacks. When Bush ran for president, the left also called him a Hitler. I did not believe it then as I do not believe it now. Dave has what I would call a "Chicken Little" attitude towards Trump.
You have told me many times about the negatives of Trump's character that is overridden by Harris's inability to govern.
No matter who wins the country will not be destroyed. I believe all politicians are liars, so I take what they say with a grain of salt. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Please come back, I enjoy your opinions.
DeleteSam,
Let's take it as a given that it's "overboard" of me to note the similarities in neo-Nazi rhetoric to Trumpist hate speech and Darrell's own words:
"Kamala is an idiot and is admittedly a female DEI version", who “seems genetically incapable of putting together a coherent thought”.
Where have we heard that kind of rhetoric before?
He falsely, and without citing my own words, accused me of BEING a communist, so I cite his actual fascistic and racist rhetoric. Who's really going overboard here?
The difference is I am comparing, NOT equating, his hate speech to neo-Nazi hate speech. It is there to see, plain as day. This guy echoes racist talking points and wants a racist criminal to be our leader. Did this NOT happen in Germany?
How in the world is my comparison invalid? Trump ADMITTED he wants to be dictator on day one. Women are LESS free after HIS promise to end abortion rights. Mass shooters have referenced Trump’s racist rhetoric. Trump constantly spews hate and demonizes our press and others who call him out.
Gen. Milley was correct. Trump is a fascist. And I say Darrell is voting for a fascist. I don’t think anyone can reasonably refute this.
Look. I am NOT calling Darrell a Nazi, even though he called me a communist like any neo-Nazi would. I'm not saying he hates Jews or would send me to the gas chamber. I do worry that people who say things like he says would shoot me, a “commie” enemy in their delusional thinking, if ordered to do so by Trump. Maybe he would. He’s been radicalized to the point of supporting a racist criminal insurrectionist who tried to CANCEL 81 million American votes.
And yes, there are troves of evidence backing my points on Trump.
I am merely noting their shared hateful rhetoric. He calls me a communist, like Trump calls all “demorats” communists, because he fears what I say, cannot refute my facts, and needs a scapegoat to blame for "destroying America". I guess that’s part of how one must rationalize a vote for a serial criminal.
Trump obviously envies and admires Putin so much he sent him OUR much-needed covid detection equipment. He has been talking to Putin while out of office. Another CRIME. There's every reason to suspect Putin told Trump to kill the border bill because it contained aid to Ukraine. How many MORE secrets has Trump spilled to Putin? How many more favors has Trump bestowed on his mentor?
Sam, I'm not demanding answers to my rhetorical questions, just consideration.
Trump and Putin are fascists and partners. Trump is Putin's weapon to destabilize and divide the US. And he has succeeded.
There are people like Darrell who think I am a communist while supporting a man who reveres and partners with the former head of the KGB. Go figure.
THEN FOR FUCK SAKE DO NOT VOTE FOR THE MAN, BUT DO NOT TELL OTHER PEOPLE WHO TO VOTE FOR.
DeleteDarrell,
ReplyDeleteI haven't been able to access Burr's blog. Do you know if he's OK?
We know Darrell believes Trump's election lies and dismisses his J6 treachery.
ReplyDeleteI have to wonder if Did Darrell believed this lie, too:
Remember when Trump and Giuliani spewed their racist lie about the Black women election workers committing fraud in Georgia? They were harassed at their homes and their lives were threatened by Trumpists.
Then they took the liars to court.
Gateway Pundit has posted this statement on its website:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/10/note-editor-legal-update/
Note from the Editor: Legal Update
Oct. 12, 2024
Georgia officials concluded that there was no widespread voter fraud by election workers who counted ballots at the State Farm Arena in November 2020. The results of this investigation indicate that Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ‘Shaye’ Moss did not engage in ballot fraud or criminal misconduct while working at State Farm Arena on election night. A legal matter with this news organization and the two election workers has been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the parties through a fair and reasonable settlement.
You are obsessed. I cannot deal with someone so obsessed. It's impossible to get through to someone so obsessed.
DeleteSam,
ReplyDeleteYou wrote, "God help America if he wins".
What you call obsession is my passionate concern for this country. We are on the precipice of a fascist taking over our country. Maybe you find my passion disturbing, but this is NOT normal.
You seem to understand this, but feel I am inordinately obsessed about our shared concern. Passengers on a sinking ship are justified with their obsession with the situation, are they not?
The same applies to a failing and falling republic.
I am not passing along false information and I'm not telling anyone how to vote. I AM telling Darrell he is voting for a hateful, lying, fascist criminal with absolutely no moral compass. These are verifiable facts. What gets through to HIM should matter, shouldn't it? Look at all the disinformation he is pushing. Should I NOT challenge it?
I would be grateful if you would please tell me what you think is not getting through to me. Unlike Darrell and the MAGA cult, my mind is actually open.
Thank you,.
Dave,
DeleteYour passion leads you to name calling and insults. You can call Trump anything you want, but please treat my readers with respect. You need lessons on how to discuss with people who hold a different view than you do. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a fascist or a Nazi.
I have talked with Darrell for a while and yes, he is conservative, which is why I enjoy talking with him. Some issues we will never agree on. Due mainly, I think, because he holds strong religious convictions, and I am an atheist. Free speech is one thing, but if you cannot be civil, then do not say anything at all. Darrell is not a Trump lover he just feels Harris would be worse. I can see why he feels that way and our disagreement is a thin line.
I disagree with the Supreme Court overturning laws that were on the books for decades. Not just Row/Wade. But we now have a conservative Supreme Court. We have to learn to live with that as conservatives had to live with Liberal Courts for decades. But the country is not going fascist or going to Hell. We are changing culturally. If you want a change then it is your duty that people who get elected reflect your view. If you cannot get a majority to agree with you, then that is the way it is.
No more name calling or insults to my readers, please.
Hi Sam. Fear not, my friend. I too appreciate the dialogue with you and will of course continue to frequent your site as often as my schedule allows. As for Mr. Dubya, he has every right to his own opinions and you have the right to publish whatever you wish on your blog. I have always championed free speech, even when I vehemently disagree. This is one of our founding principles as a nation. Espouse your opinion, and if I disagree, I will give reason why I do. If I say something with which you disagree, by all means show me why I am wrong. It should be an arena of ideals and debate about which is best in a situation. It is when someone resorts to school yard bullying tactics and name calling that there really is little point in trying to continue having a conversation with that person; consequently, I have found it to be a waste of time and energy trying to have a civil conversation with Mr Dubya. His rhetoric has not changed for years, and if anything has only become more obnoxious and strident.
ReplyDeleteIronically it is the Leftists (not liberals) that are curbing democracy with their coup over Biden, trying to remove conservatives from ballots, their aggressive law-fare against those with whom they disagree, including parents at school board meetings, to mention nothing of conservative candidates for elected office. It is the leftist that are demanding that we violate our free speech and conscience rights by calling men as "she" etc. and demanding that they play in girls sports and use their facilities. It is the leftists pro-Hamas terrorist supporters that ironically call conservatives "Nazis". It is leftists that use the epithet of "racist" towards anyone that wants LEGAL immigration of vetted individuals to come to America, rather than a basically unchecked border where criminals and terrorists embedded within those masses stream across our border and are trusted to come to court for their amnesty hearing on their own recognizance. That is how we end up with greater amounts of drugs, gangs, and sex trafficking proliferating here.
Sam, you and I share some common ground on some topics. I think if only we could build on those common ground topics as a nation, perhaps we could move forward on some issues. Unfortunately neither Trump nor Harris will or is even capable of doing so. Further, this election will be challenged regardless of who wins. Neither side will back down, and I am afraid that leftists are already prone to their violent "mostly peaceful protests" and the right is now at the place where they will no longer quietly stand for it much longer. We don't need Trump, Harris, or Dave flicking lit matches at such a powder keg.
I appreciate you publishing my responses.
Darrell, I agree with you. Thanks for coming back and expressing your thoughts and opinions.
ReplyDeleteThese issues need to be worked through our processes. Our processes are weak, confusing, and unfinished. I have heard the "Liberals" and find them excessive. But if their voices are louder than other voices, then they are heard. Some of the things they demand are ridiculous. Laws, even if people disagree with those laws, tend to calm things down. It's depressing to hear so many of my countrymen are listening to them and agreeing with them.
I think Trump will win, although the polls are 50/50. He will not destroy the country, but I disagree with many of his policies.
Being vocal is what people should do, but what happened at the Capital should never happen. Americans are known for violent protests, unfortunately, that's just our character. We literally fight through some issues. When people feel they are being treated unfairly, they will rebel. That includes small groups. These groups often have good issues we should listen to, like the American Indians. Do we need violence to hear these issues? Sometimes.
I believe in being civil. Something I was trying to explain to Dave, Inflamed passions have started wars around the World. I will see how far Dave goes. I do have my limits. We already have a great split in this country we do not need inflamed rhetoric to make things worse.
Please come back Darrell.
I should have said Leftists not Liberals.
DeleteOK, Sam.
ReplyDeleteMy response to Darrell's lies about parents at Schoolboards and his "Dave flicking lit matches at such a powder keg" dig isn’t visible. Mentioning Trump doing just that on J6 went un-published.
Noting his belief in Trump's election lies and total flip on Trump's accountability for J6 has not been allowed as well.
Maybe you consider that an insult, or "overboard". I don't know. Neither of you specify any of my words in your criticisms.
Trump's Big Lie and election interference crimes are at the core of our disagreement and even perception of reality. It is THE crisis of our time, so far. There is no common ground with reality deniers and insurrection supporters. Good luck on that.
But if you consider that name-calling instead of honest assessment, I guess I'd better just shut up.
If we as Americans can't even talk about THAT day of infamy, then Trump will get away with all his crimes. It would mark the demise of the republic and onset of a dictatorship abetted by Trump's radical Right plants in the Supreme Court who granted him immunity from the laws of the land.
I'm glad you are comforted in thinking this is unlikely. I wish I could be so comforted.
For the record, Darrell thinks Kamala is worse than a criminal hate-merchant autocrat who just said this:
"I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within, not even the people that have come in and destroyed our country," Trump told Fox News show "Sunday Morning Futures," referring to American citizens as opposed to migrants.
"We have some very bad people, we have some sick people, radical left lunatics. And I think they're the -- and it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard or, if really necessary, by the military," Trump said. "Because they can't let that happen."
Trump is talking about using the military against Americans like you and me and anyone who opposes him. He will not allow peaceful protests. Why should he? He’s been made king by the most corrupt Supreme Court in history.
Stay well, and enjoy finding common ground with Darrell. Just don’t mention J6. 😊
I am referring to using words like Nazi and Hitler. I find it offensive and an insult to those who survived the Holocaust.
DeleteAnyone involved in attacking the Capitol on J6 should be arrested and many have been jailed. I do not know what will happen if Trump loses, but people must be held accountable to the police for their illegal behavior.
The Supreme Court is not corrupt. It has a conservative slant. Just as it had a liberal slant for decades. The Court is acting on political policies and the law with a bias, which they should not be doing. We should be putting more liberal judges on the bench which can only be done if Harris is elected.
I have not run into the negative attitude you claim Darrell has. Mabe we are not talking about the same issues you guys are or maybe I am not taking what he says with the same suspicion you seem to. I understand he is very conservative, yet we agree on many issues. And maybe I am not as liberal as you.
Republicans have been running our government pretty much since Ronald Reagan, but Democrats were in charge since before WWII until Reagan. Get used to the change or change it back with the same MAGA attitude.
I want to hear your opinions but keep it civil.
Sam,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your hospitality.
Yes, “Nazi and Hitler” connote great evil, but we have to learn from history. Nazism IS white nationalism essentially. It’s not difficult to find Holocaust survivors reporting the same fanaticism in America under Trump as they saw during the rise of Hitler. It’s too bad their voices will never be heard again. I really don't think they would be insulted by us seeing the similarities that they do.
And don’t forget Darrell called me a communist, not that I feel insulted by his hate and ignorance. I think he’s basically a frightened white person, like most Trump voters, and they need scapegoats to blame.
As far as I can tell, the Right has defined Liberal and leftist to suit their bias and need to demonize people like me as a communist. I am progressive. Darrell can’t see the difference. He, like Trump, WANT to think Democrats are communists. This is wrong, and it is a fascist demonizing lie used to justify their hate.
I hope you include Trump with, “people must be held accountable to the police for their illegal behavior”.
Of course I include Trump. He should have been in jail long ago, but he is one of these Teflon guys, nothing seems to stick to him. The J6 committee did not nail him either. He has 34 criminal convictions, but he is running for president, go figure. I figure he wants to be president because he cannot be criminally indited if president. I have been following Trump since his early days in New York. He was a crook and a con man his whole life. I was shocked he was elected president. His character was a matter of public record. I guess people were not paying attention. He was the head of the Birther movement while he was running for president. I cannot believe he might win the presidency again. I think the American people have gone nuts. Darrell is one of millions who will vote for Trump. They are our fello citizens, what are we (I) missing?
DeleteSam,
DeleteYes, we are missing something that Trump voters have.
What we are missing is having an authoritarian personality.
We are missing the indoctrinated xenophobia, racism, and fear of different people and their choices that we don’t understand.
We are missing the indoctrinated desire to control women’s bodies and to deny them reproductive freedom.
We are missing the indoctrinated fear of losing power and control that white men have traditionally had in America.
We are missing the indoctrinated fear of drag queens abusing and “grooming” children. They are as harmless as any group and have always been around.
We are missing their ability to ignore the child abuse and molesters in churches and law enforcement. You don’t have to look far, but the Right is terrified of the facts. Cops and clergy are authoritarian role models to them. Drag queens are an easy target for their bigotry.
We are missing an uncritical belief in leaders. We know damn well politicians exaggerate, deflect, and lie, but unlike the far Right, we can see the hate and cruelty in their leader’s lies.
We are missing their ability to dismiss the horrible consequences of those lies.
We are missing their inability to even consider for a moment the fact that the worst of us support Trump, like the Klan, the Proud Boys, white nationalists, and neo-Nazis.
We are missing their willingness to align themselves politically with racists and criminals.
We are missing the indoctrinated mental disconnect to not see Trump is an insurrectionist criminal. We plainly saw through his Big Lie and saw him encourage an angry mob to overturn an election. We saw him watch his thugs on TV for HOURS before telling them to leave the Capitol. This can mean only ONE thing. He wanted them to succeed in stopping our Constitutional certification of the election he LOST.
We are missing the indoctrinated gullibility to believe that man is a patriot who gives a damn about anyone but himself.
We are missing the indoctrinated casual ability to dismiss the facts and reality that clearly indicate how unfit that man is for public office.
Maybe all of this suggests what THEY are missing?
