11/16/2020, 6:52 am
Somewhere in the world, probably in some third world banana republic, a coup d'état is going on to topple a government. Luckily for us, such a thing could never happen here. It all happened according to historical precedents: The forces trying to usurp power used their total control over the media apparatus and broadcasting systems. They filled the airwaves with constant anti-government propaganda. In doing so they were able to distort the perception of reality and steer the opinion of the citizens during the coup. This did not happen overnight; these institutions were infiltrated over the course of many years (even decades).
Meanwhile, on the streets, the junta's thugs assaulted citizens who did not comply with the new order. People were beaten, their property burnt. Lists were compiled of enemies of the new oligarchy. Deprived of information because of the media takeover, citizens found it hard to organize a resistance.
In an attempt to legitimize their takeover, the junta heads had organized a sham election. With the help of shady voting software and some blatant malpractice the new authorities gave their power grab a veneer of decency. Nobody really believed the results, but attempts to contest the legality of the polling methods were blocked by threatening lawyers who took the case to court. Citizens who spoke up were intimidated by agents of the new regime who had infiltrated the security forces.
The whole thing was years in the making. Decades ago, the new regime's agents infiltrated all institutions of higher learning, the civil service administrations and even the army. The entire power structure of the nation was compromised. Top military personnel even showed support for the new order in the months leading up to the "elections". Big business concerns gradually started sponsoring the usurpers over the years, sensing that doing so might protect them from direct assaults by the new regime and hoping that government support could help stifle their competition through decrees and protectionism.
We can only pray for the citizens of this unhappy nation. Thank God things like this are impossible here.

This defines what the "cult of personality" is. Like small children, members of the cult have invested themselves in Trump as the world's ultimate authority. Facts are beside the point. Contradiction by experts in their fields means nothing .... In their eyes, Trump knows better than any expert.Coolguy10013 » 03 Dec 2020, 8:00 pm » wrote: ↑ I'm looking at comments on NHB tonight and my God, it's unbelievable.
Trump surely is the master of the cult of personality and for the life of me I don't get it.
Nothing he says or does is based on any type of reality, but yet they are soaking it up like sponges.
I'm still waiting for all this "evidence" to pop up. It's been weeks. Where is it?

Millions in this cult are so detached from reality, they are ready to die for Trump if need be, by leaving themselves defenseless against COVID19. In my estimation, this is not only a Cult of Personality but a mass psychosis, driven daily by Right Wing disinformation.
A large part of the problem is low levels of education and a resultant lack of critical thinking. Republicans have been fighting for decades to make it harder for ordinary people to get higher education.

That literally describes Donald Trump's supporters.
You could argue that it also describes most religions, but I've often said that a Religion is just what you call a cult once it's gotten big enough and powerful enough you need to be more careful about insulting it.
in America, you gotta figure that 30-40% vote “R” just because R. (Likewise D). Some of that 30-40 may also be tRump cultists.JeanMoulin » 03 Dec 2020, 9:23 pm » wrote: ↑ Can 70M plus all be cult members? I don't believe so, but I would guess many of them are. I know someone who voted for him, and did so because THE PIG promised heavy tax cuts for business owners, which he did do. This person is a small business owner and reaped some benefits from a tax break. I don't have personal contact with this person, but my understanding is he voted for him again. Not surprising. But having known this person, I would not consider him a cult member in the sense of the word. He's not someone who I believe is weak minded. Just greedy. I also don't believe he would ever go to one of his rallies, As far as I know he never has. I think what we have here is a mixture.
And those aren't all the casualties! Those in between are the workers that have been laid off because the company they worked for was ordered to be closed and the owners of those businesses who will never reopen and have lost their entire livelihoods and all their savings. It's estimated that 40% of small businesses are gone for good, and the millions of people who worked there will be unemployed for many more months. The toll on them is even now becoming catastrophic with alcohol abuse, drug abuse, domestic and child abuse growing as families become more and more destitute every week. When do we start counting those casualties who have foregone doctor visits because of the fears inflicted by the media? How many millions of people didn't get mammographies, or screening for prostate and other cancers which could have been cured if caught early are now going to wind up dead? How many others have been suffering needlessly because they were afraid to visit their doctor's waiting rooms, whether it was their GP, their dentist, or their ENT, for the same fear? How many thousands suffered and will continue suffering waiting for hip, knee, or shoulder replacements or repairs because hospitals need to stay ready to be overwhelmed with Covid patients?Cannonpointer » 06 Dec 2020, 4:00 am » wrote: ↑ The disease takes octogenarians.

Lousy smoking mirrors thread DTM. less than half the population is registered voters, majority of elections have less than 75% of less than half the population voting, so your 42% doesn't make 22% governing the other 78% of the population in a two party system designed to mislead ancestries from now on as historically delivered so far.DennisTheMenace » 13 Dec 2020, 5:11 am » wrote: ↑ Let's be honest.

Forty-two percent of voters say President Donald Trump will be remembered as "one of the worst presidents" in history, according to a new poll by Fox News.
An additional 8% think Americans will recall his presidential performance as being below average.
Among Democrats, a significant 69% think Trump's term in office will go down as a disaster.![]()

Among Democrats, a significant 69% think Trump's term in office will go down as a disaster.
President Trump accepted the GOP nomination at the 2020 Republican National Convention with a speech focused on fear and chaos, breaking from party tradition.
On the flip side, 22% of those interviewed think he'll be considered one of the best presidents ever. Among Republicans, this rises to 44%.Overall, the majority of voters - 54% - don't view Trump in a favorable light.
This can be, in part, attributed to the fact the majority of voters think the country is worse off than four years ago (54%). Additionally, the majority disapprove of Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic (55%) and dislike how he's handled immigration and healthcare (53%).
With regards to whether Trump should run again in 2024, it's a negative from the majority of voters. 57% would rather somebody else leads the GOP into the next election.
It's a different picture among Republicans. Seventy-nine percent of Trump voters would like him to run again and 71% of registered Republicans would too. Just 10% of Democrats and 27% of independents hope to see him at the top of the ticket again.
When it comes to economics, Trump is viewed more positively. A majority (52%) approve of how he's handled the economy. His economic approval ratings have only dropped into the negative twice throughout his presidency.
The latest Fox News poll paints a mixed picture of Trump's last four years in office, with highly partisan splits coloring people's perception of the 45th president.
This is particularly accurate when looking at perceptions of how Trump has handled his election defeat.
While 58% of those interviewed don't believe the election was stolen, 68% of Republicans believe he won.
Among Trump voters, 77% incorrectly think he beat Joe Biden in November.
Fifty-six percent of voters think Trump's legal efforts to overturn the result of the election have weakened democracy - 66% of Republicans, however, think it has strengthened it.
This Fox News poll was conducted between December 6 and 9 under the joint direction of Beacon Research and Shaw & Company. 1,007 random registered voters were called. There's a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 points.
