What I want to know is who has reaped the benefits from all the Right Wing radio and media over the years. Seems they have driven many Decisions in the country through pressure and media pushes to influence politicians.
Everyone complains that things are worse now but still listen to the same radio heads today. If what they are selling has not lead to a better economy, life, wage, policy why continue to follow that advice?
I remember listening to Rush Limbaugh when in the car daily in the 90’s with my dad (black man who would have voted Republican if Republicans cut the dog whistle crap out) and he literally says the same stuff now as he said then with no proof that it actually works. States like Kansas went bankrupt putting his ideas into policy. There is a reason these guys don’t run for office or write policy, because it’s easy to sell garbage ideas on the radio and television than it is to write it up and pass it.
We all know the country cannot be all right or all left, it takes balance and work. But balance and cooperation amongst parties don’t sell books or talking events.
Most Trump followers I have spoken to seem to idolize Trump to the point of never daring themselves to say anything against him. I’ve spoken to women who call themselves feminists who would get a heart attack if a man even joked about women or bragged about their promiscuity. Religious people who wouldn’t let a person with Trump’s lifestyle step behind their podium. People who would feel offended if they were discriminated service because of the color of their skin. When I remind them of all the things Trump does and talks about when it comes to the things that go against their convictions they come back with the following typical responses:
-Just leave him alone.
-MAGA!
-He was joking.
-He is the president now so deal with it.
-But but but Hilllary’s emails.
I would expect at least something along the lines “Well, yes, he should be more respectful to women and men but other than that I do agree with…Well yeah, can’t believe people say he best represents moral, family, and Christian values because he just doesn’t. But other than that I like how he…Yes he has shown to be a racist and I disagree with that. Perhaps that might change in the future…Yes, he is a terrible public speaker and can’t carry a conversation without making a full of himself, exalting himself, or sharing his obsession with Obama but at least he…” I wonder if his followers think its some sort of blasphemy to disagree with him or not support certain things. I can count with my fingers the few Trump supporters who can disagree with him on different issues just fine.
How about you?
Trump supporters are True Believers who will brook no criticism of their demagogue. TDS anyone?
Terrible public speaker? Obama couldn't state his name in public without a teleprompter. When off the teleprompter, he was lost and stammered. Then you have crazy Joe who doesn't even know where he is at half the time and provides a gaffe every speech.
Trump is a 10X better speaker than any of the dems, as he can actually think on his feet and can go "unscripted" quite well.
With or without a teleprompter Trump continues to speak like an elementary school student. You might remember the following:
“You know what uranium is, right? It’s this thing called nuclear weapons, and other things, like lots of things are done with uranium, including bad things”
“We have to come up, and we can come up with many different plans. In fact, plans you don’t even know about will be devised because we’re going to come up with plans – health care plans – that will be so good”
Can't forget when he talks about turbines or how he uses the best words out there.
Come on now. Are you really going to say Trump is a better speaker? I want to believe you are being sarcastic.
Sure we do, but we also enjoy seeing the wrench go deeper into the gears and seeing the left get upset.
