Why we love Trump....

[Correll]

Wow. YOu just supported realdave's godwin race baiting by pointing out the incredible similarity that both Trump and Hitler spoke to their supporters and were listened to.


That really proves it. After all, no good leader would speak to their supporters and be listened to.


You fucking moron.


Fuck you, you piece of shit.

Where you breath fn racist traitor White fn trash

Hey, does that fact that I am "listening" to you, make you a Nazis too? Or is that different because, you know, reasons?


The reason you cocksuckers like to call your enemies nazis, is not because you believe it to be true, but because you know it is not, but it helps you win, if you can smear good people.


That makes you the bad guys.


Also, you calling me "white trash" is a racist slur, coming from someone who is attacking people because "nazi", you are just too dumb to be expressed in words.

Look dummy you support a racist pos a man who is nothing but evil People of color are his enemies but never opens his yap about Putin ,,Makes you slime just like him

Dude. If he was racist, you would have cited something actually racist he did, rather than talking about how people "listening to him" was just like the way people "listened" to Hitler.


YOu are just smearing your enemies because it works, and you are a piece of shit that doesn't mind doing that.


You are the bad guy here. And dumb as a fucking monkey. And not one of the smarter monkeys.

Do some reading wiseguy Trump was and is a racist and hates mexicans too ,,especially mexican judges

YOu lefties spent a year gloating how Hispanics hated Trump and that that was why he could not win.


Trump says that one specific Hispanic hates him, and suddenly you lefties discover that saying that someone hates some one because of being HIspanic, is a form of racism.


NOT when you said of it of course, that was different.

No, when Trump said it, it was racism, because...because... err,


That part was pretty vague. I recall asking, but not getting anything coherent as a reply .


(You, btw, are a race bating asshole. FUck you some more.)


And that's what you have as a "reason" for your behavior.


FUck you even more.

Hitler sounded more intelligent than Trump. I think Trump appeals to that half of Americans voters that aren't too bright and to the people in the money-class. All those people are Americans and have the right to vote as do other citizens.

THe very act of mentioning an American politician in the same sentence as fucking Hitler is a serious implied accusation that should only be made if there is just cause for it.


Your opinion on Trump voters is not cause to smear him or his supporters with such as vile implication.

Broadly speaking, a racist combines negative prejudicial biases with sufficient power to leverage action against targeted groups. Trump’s words and behaviors demonstrate considerable prejudicial bias, and, as president of the United States — arguably the most powerful office in the contemporary world — he has indeed leveraged action against various groups.

Instead you choose to make another, vague and unsupported and vile accusation.


AND you defined down racism in such a way as to excuse those whom you know are racist, but who you don't want to call on their racism.


Trump had a negative opinion on a judge. He said nothing that you lefties had not been saying over and over again for a year.

And yet, here we are, and you are still using it as "evidence" that he is racist.


Until you are called on it, then you drop it, and just go back to making vague, unsupported and vile accusations.

I am of the firm opinion that America today with all its sexual permissiveness, liberal propaganda, and a growing disdain for all that is moral and righteous ---- deserves absolutely nothing better than Trump.

Why you love Trump: Fear, fear, fear....

"During and after World War II, psychologists conceived of the authoritarian personality as a pattern of attitudes and values revolving around adherence to society’s traditional norms, submission to authorities who personify or reinforce those norms, and antipathy—to the point of hatred and aggression—toward those who either challenge in-group norms or lie outside their orbit. Among white Americans, high scores on measures of authoritarianism today tend to be associated with prejudice against a wide range of “out-groups,” including homosexuals, African Americans, immigrants, and Muslims. Authoritarianism is also associated with suspiciousness of the humanities and the arts, and with cognitive rigidity, militaristic sentiments, and Christian fundamentalism.

When individuals with authoritarian proclivities fear that their way of life is being threatened, they may turn to strong leaders who promise to keep them safe—leaders like Donald Trump. In a national poll conducted recently by the political scientist Matthew MacWilliams, high levels of authoritarianism emerged as the single strongest predictor of expressing political support for Donald Trump. Trump’s promise to build a wall on the Mexican border to keep illegal immigrants out and his railing against Muslims and other outsiders have presumably fed that dynamic.

As the social psychologist Jesse Graham has noted, Trump appeals to an ancient fear of contagion, which analogizes out-groups to parasites, poisons, and other impurities. In this regard, it is perhaps no psychological accident that Trump displays a phobia of germs, and seems repulsed by bodily fluids, especially women’s. He famously remarked that Megyn Kelly of Fox News had “blood coming out of her wherever,” and he repeatedly characterized Hillary Clinton’s bathroom break during a Democratic debate as “disgusting.” Disgust is a primal response to impurity. On a daily basis, Trump seems to experience more disgust, or at least to say he does, than most people do.

The authoritarian mandate is to ensure the security, purity, and goodness of the in-group—to keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out. In the 1820s, white settlers in Georgia and other frontier areas lived in constant fear of American Indian tribes. They resented the federal government for not keeping them safe from what they perceived to be a mortal threat and a corrupting contagion. Responding to these fears, President Jackson pushed hard for the passage of the Indian Removal Act, which eventually led to the forced relocation of 45,000 American Indians. At least 4,000 Cherokees died on the Trail of Tears, which ran from Georgia to the Oklahoma territory.

An American strand of authoritarianism may help explain why the thrice-married, foul-mouthed Donald Trump should prove to be so attractive to white Christian evangelicals. As Jerry Falwell Jr. told The New York Times in February, “All the social issues—traditional family values, abortion—are moot if isis blows up some of our cities or if the borders are not fortified.” Rank-and-file evangelicals “are trying to save the country,” Falwell said. Being “saved” has a special resonance among evangelicals—saved from sin and damnation, of course, but also saved from the threats and impurities of a corrupt and dangerous world.

When my research associates and I once asked politically conservative Christians scoring high on authoritarianism to imagine what their life (and their world) might have been like had they never found religious faith, many described utter chaos—families torn apart, rampant infidelity and hate, cities on fire, the inner rings of hell. By contrast, equally devout politically liberal Christians who scored low on authoritarianism described a barren world depleted of all resources, joyless and bleak, like the arid surface of the moon. For authoritarian Christians, a strong faith—like a strong leader—saves them from chaos and tamps down fears and conflicts. Donald Trump is a savior, even if he preens and swears, and waffles on the issue of abortion.

In December, on the campaign trail in Raleigh, North Carolina, Trump stoked fears in his audience by repeatedly saying that “something bad is happening” and “something really dangerous is going on.” He was asked by a 12-year-old girl from Virginia, “I’m scared—what are you going to do to protect this country?”

Trump responded: “You know what, darling? You’re not going to be scared anymore. They’re going to be scared.” "

Well his challenging of Political Correctness is a very valuable contribution to society. His immigration policy despite being hampered by the courts is showing encouraging signs.

Trump ran on trade and immigration.


Both are valid issues, and if you want to discuss them, address them, don't try to just dismiss them as fear, because you want to.

To a degree...yes

Trump ran on the lie that he could bring back coal jobs and jobs from China
He also ran on the lie that he would build a wall

Fool me once.....

He just tore down a wall, a blue one, a year ago. In another year another, a Mexican one, is going to be built.

Nobody's going to read this garbage. Learn the meaning of brevity.

You may not have the Grey Matter

to comprehend it...

Brevity is good for simple minds...

No, brevity is the soul of wit. Bottom line is, very few are going to read that much from someone they don't even know.

Bottom line is you are wrong.

liberals are just to lazy to read something

longer than a catch phrase....

I read your OP and its dumb. There is not one true statement in it. We know why you like Trump, it doesn't have to be explained.

Why you love Trump: Fear, fear, fear....

"During and after World War II, psychologists conceived of the authoritarian personality as a pattern of attitudes and values revolving around adherence to society’s traditional norms, submission to authorities who personify or reinforce those norms, and antipathy—to the point of hatred and aggression—toward those who either challenge in-group norms or lie outside their orbit. Among white Americans, high scores on measures of authoritarianism today tend to be associated with prejudice against a wide range of “out-groups,” including homosexuals, African Americans, immigrants, and Muslims. Authoritarianism is also associated with suspiciousness of the humanities and the arts, and with cognitive rigidity, militaristic sentiments, and Christian fundamentalism.

When individuals with authoritarian proclivities fear that their way of life is being threatened, they may turn to strong leaders who promise to keep them safe—leaders like Donald Trump. In a national poll conducted recently by the political scientist Matthew MacWilliams, high levels of authoritarianism emerged as the single strongest predictor of expressing political support for Donald Trump. Trump’s promise to build a wall on the Mexican border to keep illegal immigrants out and his railing against Muslims and other outsiders have presumably fed that dynamic.

As the social psychologist Jesse Graham has noted, Trump appeals to an ancient fear of contagion, which analogizes out-groups to parasites, poisons, and other impurities. In this regard, it is perhaps no psychological accident that Trump displays a phobia of germs, and seems repulsed by bodily fluids, especially women’s. He famously remarked that Megyn Kelly of Fox News had “blood coming out of her wherever,” and he repeatedly characterized Hillary Clinton’s bathroom break during a Democratic debate as “disgusting.” Disgust is a primal response to impurity. On a daily basis, Trump seems to experience more disgust, or at least to say he does, than most people do.

The authoritarian mandate is to ensure the security, purity, and goodness of the in-group—to keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out. In the 1820s, white settlers in Georgia and other frontier areas lived in constant fear of American Indian tribes. They resented the federal government for not keeping them safe from what they perceived to be a mortal threat and a corrupting contagion. Responding to these fears, President Jackson pushed hard for the passage of the Indian Removal Act, which eventually led to the forced relocation of 45,000 American Indians. At least 4,000 Cherokees died on the Trail of Tears, which ran from Georgia to the Oklahoma territory.

An American strand of authoritarianism may help explain why the thrice-married, foul-mouthed Donald Trump should prove to be so attractive to white Christian evangelicals. As Jerry Falwell Jr. told The New York Times in February, “All the social issues—traditional family values, abortion—are moot if isis blows up some of our cities or if the borders are not fortified.” Rank-and-file evangelicals “are trying to save the country,” Falwell said. Being “saved” has a special resonance among evangelicals—saved from sin and damnation, of course, but also saved from the threats and impurities of a corrupt and dangerous world.

When my research associates and I once asked politically conservative Christians scoring high on authoritarianism to imagine what their life (and their world) might have been like had they never found religious faith, many described utter chaos—families torn apart, rampant infidelity and hate, cities on fire, the inner rings of hell. By contrast, equally devout politically liberal Christians who scored low on authoritarianism described a barren world depleted of all resources, joyless and bleak, like the arid surface of the moon. For authoritarian Christians, a strong faith—like a strong leader—saves them from chaos and tamps down fears and conflicts. Donald Trump is a savior, even if he preens and swears, and waffles on the issue of abortion.

Yeah and the Mexicans won't be paying for it.
