Bink Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Trump says fucked up shit--"at least he's honest". No politician in American history has been held less accountable than Trump. We should have known that when people still voted for him after he said "grab them by the pussy" on tape. OILERMAN 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the Trump supporters tricked into falling into the Fake News camp by their fox news overlords. Sorry, but it is a lack of intelligence, at least a lack of basic media literacy.

Cognitive dissonance Knowing why Trump does things is one thing. Understanding how that effects them is another. This is regarding people who watch news like it’s entertainment and then fail to see how it effects them. In their ignorant eyes, they would have the same opinions regarding these affairs regardless of what the “news” or “media” says. Facts, information, data are all fluff to them. They don’t value it at all and so take no care in the type, source, or amount they consume. So ironically- the ones who value these things the least - are effected by it the most. The best analogy is junk food. Those who value the nutritional content the least take the least care in what and how they consume it. Those are then the ones most negativity effected. The problem being, of course, they value these things the least — so they are the least likely to be convinced by others who do value it of the dangers. Its a vicious and locked cycle that seems nearly impossible to break. OILERMAN, Btowner, IsntLifeFunny, and 6 others 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is a manifestation of ideological tension (rock) meeting up with cultural pushback from a progressive wave having a symbolic milestone (hard place). When your ideological/emotional truth has been diminished, a voice will rise up to virtue signal all of those negative qualities--think an echo chamber on crack. Behind this, you see an industry rise up. It's not a coincidence that Trump's rise and entrance into the political arena came through the racist birther movement. The idea that Trump is being propelled by the "forgotten, working-class common man" is absolute and total bullshit. It's anti-immigrant sentiment, and people like Aaron Schlossberg make that crystal clear. He gave legitimacy to casual racism in plain sight. With this kind of personal validation on the line, and a deeply ingrained sense of victimhood despite being the privileged class, why consume the truth? Why even hold to any of the traditional values you've claimed to espouse--those values were never really relevant in the first place.

It comes down to a large portion of the population not being listened to or having their issues addressed. First of all there is no racism or any of that shit. None. That is a pile of manure generated by idiot pinheads. Always trying to make the average Joe look deplorable. Sorry, the average Joe cares about his guns, religion, job, his country and all this stupid ass shit that it was the birther movement and racism is plain ignorant shit beyond the moronic threshold. Seriously, if you believe that stuff you are a true idiot. Not even sure you can function with that few of brain cells functioning. True, there is and was disdain for Obama and his anti-American perspective, his fakeness, his race baiting..... There was also disdain for our open borders and a number of issues being ignored. Trump nailed the issues. he nailed what people needed to hear. We didn't need to hear there was going to be compromise, there was going to be more of the same crap we have had for decades. Heck, even idiots on the left think conservatives are apologists for Bush when this new outgrowth of the Republican party came from the outright shit taste Bush left in their mouths. Many simply wanted a clear departure from the Republican establishment. Not some dumb ass birther racism media made up crap that makes anyone talking like that seem totally retarded and clueless. Goddamn there is so much stupidity and bullshit here there aren't enough Xs to go around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
