Last weekend I began rereading Gustave Le Bon’s fantastic 1895 book about the psychology of large groups, entitled “The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind.” The book basically offers a synopsis of the Trump — and to some extent — the Obama spectacles of the past few years. It’s filled with snippets like this one:
The masses have never thirsted after truth. … Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim.

He also writes for Glenn Beck’s The Blaze. That pretty much tells me all I need to know about this guy.
Another arrogantly ignorant academic child ranting at the world because the adults will not bow to his “superior” intellect.
IMHO, anyone who has anything to do with Beck, or people that Beck associates with are people I want no part of...
Yup...another guy who most likely could not change a flat tire lecturing the world.
Soon to be known as the “Dying Ember”
Don’t you love how a website calling itself “The Federalist” (insinuating states rights) is a bastion of one world government hacks?
The irony here is the same ones who write this stuff are REALLY the ones who hate people.
Generally, the Right, at least the Christian Right, knows that God loves them and all people. However the Left, as has been demonstrated time again, actually hates people which is more in line with their ally Satan, as people like Alinsky and his dedication to Lucifer have shown.
“IMHO, anyone who has anything to do with Beck, or people that Beck associates with are people I want no part of...”
Beck is a psychopath.
The WALL is no illusion you candyass, we will build it over you if you keep trying to stand in it’s way.
It’s tough to find anything to read that isn’t propaganda anymore.
This is the argument of the Anti-Trump. “The people are stupid. We can’t have them running things!” This is position of the oligarchs .” Voting is a charade, an elixir to soothe the brainless masses”. “we will steal it back at the convention”.
These guys just don’t get that it isn’t about ideology. It is about the fact that our institutions are failing us, regardless of the nominal ideology of the governing party.
Every mob looks ugly when viewed from the castle walls.
>> “The people are stupid. We can’t have them running things!” <<
Isn’t that basically what the Founding Fathers thought (although they phrased their belief more elegantly), and isn’t it why they gave us a Republic instead of a democracy?
You advocate defrauding the voter? Is that what you stand for?
Shame on you. This is not an oligarchy.
