It's getting scary out there, people. Everywhere you turn, Trump haters are venting their wrath against Trump supporters, as if supporting President Trump is an unforgivable sin.
They're projecting and gaslighting -- blaming Trump and his supporters for everything they're doing. It's madness, but at long last, they might have awakened the sleeping giant they're trying to hunt down and destroy.
MSNBC's Joy Reid tweeted, "Genuine question: what will be the relationship between the majority of Americans, and Trumpists after this long, national nightmare ends -- and it will eventually end -- do people anticipate simply letting bygones (be) bygones with people who joined the Trump personality cult?"
What bygones? Who's doing what to whom? What are we Trump supporters doing to you Trump haters, Joy? We are trying to mind our own business and stay safe. Are you and yours?
MSNBC's Donny Deutsch likened a Trump rally to a Hitler rally from the early '30s: "Well, basically you had a destruction of the belief in the free press. You had a blurring between the executive branch and the Justice Department. You have creating an other, whether it's Muslims, whether it's Mexicans, whether it's congressmen who weren't born in this country. And then you have the destruction of free elections. And we're here."
This is screaming insanity. Trump supporters aren't censoring people on social media. They aren't threatening their opponents' civil liberties. They aren't violating the separation of powers, which leftists routinely do, including through their activist courts and lawless executive orders (under former President Barack Obama). They're not demonizing other races, as you maliciously accuse. Quit belching that vicious slander. And they are not the ones threatening the integrity of the electoral process. The left, on the other hand, has promised to stack the Supreme Court; add territories to the union to increase its electoral prospects; circumvent the Electoral College; obliterate the integrity of the voting process through rampant unverifiable mail-in ballots and the elimination of voter ID rules; and lower the voting age to 16. Republicans aren't the ones threatening to lawlessly invoke impeachment to block Trump's lawful Supreme Court nominee.
Increasingly deranged, intolerant, hateful and unhinged actor-turned-artist Jim Carrey said, "Too many Americans support Trump because he appeals to their basest and most primitive urges." This is a direct indictment of millions of Trump supporters -- many of whom have been your fans. Tell me, Jim: What base and primitive urges do you mean? Our commitment to the Constitution, law and order, equal protection under the law for everyone, liberty, prosperity and a strong national defense? Protecting the borders to ensure orderly and legal immigration? Are these commitments racist and sexist to you, Jim? If you really believe that, you are obviously blinded into irrationality by your hatred and need of therapy and prayer. Please get the tree trunk out of your own eye. In the meantime, sketch a picture of your own dark heart.
And how about the now-famous Leo Guinan, who publicly bragged that he told his parents neither he nor his children would visit them because they had placed Trump signs in their yard. After receiving blowback for this self-indulgent and heartless act, he publicly apologized.
We have obnoxious leftist "protestors" in St. Petersburg, Florida, taking over peaceful diners' tables from restaurant to restaurant, ratcheting up the despicable practice they began a few years ago to harass Trump supporters.
And, once again, we have violent leftists rioting in the streets of Louisville, where two policemen were shot trying to keep the peace.
How can things be more surreal? I'll say it again: The left is projecting its own darkness onto Trump and his supporters. Countless leftists accuse Trump of inciting violence and hate while displaying their own intolerance and hatred and committing violence. Trump is trying to stop the violence, while Democratic governors and mayors are fanning the flames.
Fair-minded Democrats, please don't fool yourself into rationalizing that these things are happening equally on both sides of the aisle. It simply is not true. And don't fall into the insidious trap of Trump Derangement Syndrome, which now possesses large swaths of Americans because of the left's concerted effort to smear Trump and his supporters as racists for political gain.
How many Trump supporters are burning down cities, murdering cops, threatening mayhem if Joe Biden is elected, bullying Biden supporters out of restaurants, accosting people with Biden caps or yard signs, threatening to withhold their children from their Biden-supporting parents and stirring up racial disharmony throughout the nation? When have Republican lawmakers ever tried to destroy the character of a Democratic president's Supreme Court nominee?
Yes, Republicans say they're ready to defend themselves, but I know of none who are threatening to commit violence and mayhem if Trump loses.
I don't know how people can be so warped as to condemn Trump for allegedly inspiring violence simply because they don't like him, when they themselves are actually committing violence or enabling those who are. I don't know how they can rage against Trump as a dictator when he is doing nothing but exercising his lawful authority in office and appointing justices who will uphold the Constitution and rule of law, and when they are openly promising to thwart the Constitution in countless ways if they regain power. Notwithstanding the planted trick question, Trump will not resist the peaceable transition of power, but he might legally contest a stolen election. Meanwhile, prominent Democrats are promising not to accept a Trump victory -- just like they never accepted his 2016 victory.
No, Joy Reid, we Trump supporters are not part of a cult, no matter how much Trump haters have convinced themselves otherwise. But we do see him as the last best hope to restore America's greatness -- and that includes liberty, peace and security for all, not just for those who agree with us, unlike many on your side believe. We are relying on him to lawfully prevent the left's destruction of the nation, its violence and lawlessness, and its abolition of liberty.
God save the republic.
Re “trap”:
Trap assumes innocence on McCain’s part; he was a willing and eager tool of the Left. He was on my “People I Need To Outlive” list. Mission Accomplished.
A+
on any grading scale.
Many excellent explanations here, but it was great to see someone actually explain why it was called “gaslighting”.
Kudos.
Will Trump supporters - traditional Americans - forgive the 'black community' for burning down our cities, looting our stores and killing dozens of police officers and citizens?
Will we forgive Joy for NOT condemning black thugs and white Antifa thugs? I don't think so... The divided is real and permanent.
We might 'forgive' we'll never forget Joy. We're NOT going to forget. We're not gong to forget. Do you understand? Decades of black women wearing white women's hair (the ultimate blackface) was insulting but forgivable. But burning down our cities is forever and NOT forgivable. either...
We're tired of the pity party that never extends beyond yourselves.
We'll get our satisfaction knowing democrats will continue to play parts of the black community for fools: every four years promising the same things - every four years NOT coming through for gullible black democrats. Stay on the plantation Joy. YOU belong there.
Oh yes, they are RABID!
I have good friend, I’ll call Bidenski. Bidenski is an ORANGE MAN BAD, liberal. She and I talk weekly. Bidenski is ALWAYS the one of us to bring up politics. In the past, I have let her vent her spleen. I agree with SOME of her comments which frequently address the crass behavior of Trump and the Tweets that sometimes sound like a surly 13-yr. old. On that, we agree.
But somehow she got it in her mind that I’ve joined the dark side. So recently she sent an email rant to me about one of her closest friends who has indicated she intends to vote for the orange man, and Bidenski was AGHAST! So I replied that while I find Trump to be pompous (let’s face it - he IS), I will be voting for him AGAIN because I support his policies. My email was met with radio silence for over a week.
Bidenski then called me and was on the verge of tears.
“I read your email and I just CRIED! I could not get my breath! I just cannot beeeeelieve....! EXPLAIN to me WHY you would vote for such a misogynistic, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, asshole! I’ve been so sad and depressed! Don’t you AGREE he’s an a-hole?!”
“Well, yes, I agree he’s an a-hole. I’d hate to have him for a boss. BUT, I’m a life-long CONSERVATIVE (Leaning libertarian) and his policies align with mine, mostly.”
I then pointed her to the Isidewith website. I took the test and mine was 78% Trump!
Sometimes I wish Trump WERE a dictator. I’m living under the covid tyranny of my CA governor still. . .my teens are not yet back in high school, and may not be for the ENTIRE school year.
If Trump were a dictator, he’d open up all the schools, or at least allow parents the option to choose in person schooling. Californians are not even allowed the option, unlike all other states I think except Hawaii.
In some ways I won’t even care if Biden wins; I’ve been living under CA tyranny and am used to living under Dem rule and its associated ills. My life will be no different. We are in lockdown indefinitely.
Who my governor is seems to matter more than who my president is (for me and my family, not for the nation per se).
I have removed myself from a couple of social circles where I was the ‘lone republican’.
Was accused of being narrow minded for not embracing all forms of degeneracy with enough enthusiasm.
I don’t miss pro football either...
I don’t think the dimming was purposeful. The husband was secretly in another part of their home and was using the gas lights there. That would cause a dimming in the rest of the house. When the wife noticed this, then the husband suggested she was imagining things.
This was accompanied by other attempts to make her doubt her own sanity.
...78% Trump!...
