Trump has a cult of personality which makes it hard to gauge how some folks see him. I see him as a sniveling, gormless, weakling who’s is undeserving of even basic human respect. My grandmother somehow is seeing the savior of America who will start a new golden age, I blame 40 years of propaganda and lead poisoning.
The point is that it’s not necessarily a matter of intelligence but moreso a matter of influence, I’ve met a couple folks who are dumber than shit but are separate from propaganda and are anti trump for the simple fact that he talks worse than them. Destroy the propaganda networks and you destroy Trump.
This needs to be the mission going forward. Rush Limbaugh started it and now the people of America need to end it. Right wing media has brought us to Nazism in America.
The real problem is who do you go after first? It ain’t just Limbaugh now, ya got everything from mega churchs to podcasts to YouTubers to local talk radio. Personally I think going after churches would be best since it’d have an outsized impact and work on multiple levels.
I think social media plays a far bigger influential role nowadays in terms of raw numbers. A lot of younger conservative boomers and Gen Xers really consume the shit out of platforms like Facebook. If you regulated Facebook as an actual Media Outlet, they’d suddenly be liable for outright libel and other grossly false ads they permit and promote.
Not disagreeing moreso gonna elaborate on my point, when I say attack churches I specifically mean the big ones like the Seventh Day Adventists, Mormons, and Southern Baptists. They are all directly associated with the conservative movement on some level, damaging their attendence numbers will do an outsized good since it may strip them of some cash flow. Also it’s a lot easier to damage their influence than a large amorphous corporation like Facebook, far easier to make a church unlivable by pouring liquid ass or cat piss concentrate into the HVAC system.
My favorite president, Abraham Lincoln, was a Republican. I think a secular federal republic is a pretty decent form of democratic governance. The “Radical Republican” wing of the antebellum Republican Party were the most ardent and vocal supporters of abolition in Congress.
Now the very word is tainted by association by these scumbags.
And Teddy Roosevelt was a progressive Republican that opposed trusts and the imbalanced influence of money in politics (but the changes began to happen during his time, which is why he left the party altogether). There was a time when “Republican” just referred to the kind of governmental structure one supported (just like “democrat”), with a range of economic and social views. That’s actually what the “grand” in Grand Old Party (GOP) referred to iirc—it was a party big enough handle a range views and ideas. AND, again iirc, the whole push for republican governmental ideas by said party was to find a way around the stranglehold of slavery in American economics. Representative government could make decisions that the populace might not support because it was the morally correct thing to do (which is also why the concept of electors was advanced by Hamilton, incidentally: as a safe-guard against tyranny—electors could look at an elected candidate and say “nah” because that person was actually likely to work against the interests of the United States).
Republicans are the Nazi party in America.
This is just factual, and it never fails to blow my mind.
I saw an ad for a trump youth podcast. Nothing alarming about that.
MAGA youth parades. Time to get these kids reporting on their parents and reporting to our glorious leader.
They’d have to go outside
They will give them a cow, instead of a dog, and they have to kill the cow to turn it into a hamberder
It doesn’t help they seem to have a few Vichy-type collaborators on the “opposing” team.
Good use of air bunnies!
And what’s the only good kind of Nazi? 🤔
The thing is that the Nazi Party had a talented speaker who knew how to talk to the common man and a right hand man who was an expert at propaganda.
I don’t think you understand how idiotic Americans have become. All it takes is an Orange Turd to convince them.

Precisely.
He speaks to Americans.
He is their figurehead, icon, leader, exemplar.
What a sad and absurd irony of history.

How the mighty have fallen.
