Well, since roughly half the population is below average in intelligence and a good percentage of the other half has, as its major source of self gratification, the manipulation of that half, sounds to me like a winning strategy. Where Trump fucks up, in my opinion, is that there is a reason he speaks at that level. Emotionally he's a badly damaged child. But this is only my opinion and one I don't put too much stock in.

Geez, now I get the Trump appeal. All you people who voted for him are so highly thought of. You should be proud of yourselves.

I mean I get it. If you feel unrepresented for your entire life in this "democracy" and suddenly along comes that guy that speaks your language, what you gonna do?

I mean they're like retracted Sith Lords. Wait thats Disney now and... shits confusing.

And we had to have this explained by that POS.


Takes a POS to know a POS and call out that other POS like he knows what he's talking about. And both those POS are on the same team where being a POS is a desired feature that attracts millions of other dumbed down POS making for one hell of a stink'in mess of folks that think their stench is a really great thing to possess because it pisses off the libs of which is the only thing these POS actually care about.

That's why his followers, who peaked in the 2nd grade level, think he is a fucking genius.

As I see this it's all about grievance and in particular the Republican Party's reliance on it to win elections. People who are motivated in what they do politically by grievance feel aggrieved when they don't win. Grievance is all about blaming others for negative feelings one carries and the relief that comes from blaming them instead of one's self for whatever unrequited misery we have experienced.

And if that misery is suppressed from conscious awareness then so to is any possibility of transcendence out of grievance mentality. So we live in a world full of people who are asleep and anxious to blame others for all the stupidity their sleep creates.

So here we have a scumbag like Gingrich, who fancies himself as a master manipulator of grievance pissed and envious at Trump who is a better manipulator and bigger scumbag than he is in a tizzy over the fact that the best efforts of the Party of Grievance is failing to create enough grievance to win the Presidency and is in a state of decline everywhere. In this way we can see that the fate of the collective of the aggrieved is to turn on each other because they are motivated by blame.

We create what we fear and the fear of the loss of power creates a powerless state. And the bigger the tizzy the near the end. The aggrieved will eat their babies like King Midas with his golden touch.

CNN aired a special on Rudy Giuliani "What Happened To America's mayor?". It covered the 2020 election night and the possibly that Donald Trump would lose. However..... however.... Giuliani told his people JUST GO OUT THERE AND SAY WE WON. Even if Trump lost, Giuliani asked people to just say they won.

This simple delusion began the BIG LIE. First Giuliani, followed shortly by Donald Trump going before the cameras on election night claiming IT WAS RIGGED. And we go from there all the way to January 6th and crowds of angry maga storming the capitol.

Watching this and remembering and seeing it all laid out is truly sad indeed. Sad that so many SOOOO SOOOO MANY people could be fooled. That so many people could latch on to a simple lie then take it to such extremes. I'm not just referring to the insurrection but more so to the insane lies that followed from Trump lawyers like Sidney Powell. The lies she spread, the insanity coming from her mouth, unbelievable.

And closer to home, my Q niece still insists to this day that TRUMP IS REALLY THE PRESIDENT, AND BIDEN IS DEAD. And my niece is In her 40's, educated, and runs her own business. Then I hear her spouting this crap and I just look at her and feel sorry. I look at her as a functional human being yet mentally sick. Mentally ill. And it kind of scares me and shocks me how screwed up the brain can become, especially in people appearing to be normal healthy people.

This CNN special on Giuliani and the election just taught me how easy it is and how easy it would be to take over an entire country. All you need do is fool a few, then watch it snowball into millions.
And shit.... Trump just might be president once again. And more scary, an elected president actually elected by a majority. Sure scares the shit out of me.

The reason I post this is from watching and remembering just how easy it was to bring America to where we are today. It began with a madman who could not accept the simple fact that he lost an election, followed by plenty of enablers to not only spread the delusion but to add even more delusion to the original delusion. And suddenly you have millions willing to teardown a country that has been around for some 200+ years and only because of one simple lie from a not so simple madman.
And I won't bring up the cancer that all of this caused and lead to.... Ron DeSantis.
Sick America, sick sick sick!
