-SATIRE-How does the Left look at conservatives? We often overlook this, even though it's a critical factor in the "divisive" atmosphere grippingh the county these days. It wouldn't hurt to put ouselves into the mindset of your average professional left-leaing professional attempting to deal with the "Deplorables" -- perhaps an academic psychologist, or a domestic affairs bureaucrat...Understanding how people were programmed is crucial to deprogramming them, yet amateur deprogrammers have assumed that censoring and discrediting Trump will free his voters from his siren song. If the amateurs are wrong, they could become entrenched in their programming, possibly ruining decades of expert deprogramming. Although strange to provide tips toward progressive objectives in a conservative journal, the amateur deprogrammers are advocating for extreme solutions as their efforts are met with failure. If everyone understands, from the progressive perspective, how Trump supporters were programmed and how they are being expertly deprogrammed, those extreme solutions might be avoided.
Trump voters were taught that we have a representative democracy based on liberty and freedom; that we have an immutable Constitution that establishes those principles as the law of the land; and that representatives are elected by the will of the People as stewards of government, not as stewards of the People. Trump supporters believe that government should be of the minimum extent necessary to assist a moral society, and believe in a moral system that respects property and person and punishes those who don’t. Archival media (e.g., newspapers, books and movies) reveals that this brainwashing has occurred for centuries, perpetuated by education and common social belief. Trump might not be the siren but a victim. So, who started and perpetuates this brainwashing?
This deception stems from morals, and Trump supporters believe that morals are absolute and originate from God. One of the their most embraced documents reads, “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator [God] with certain unalienable Rights.†That these morals have existed for eons in the greatest societies of the World and were absent from the worst lends credence to their belief that morals originate from some omniscient and benevolent Deity, rather than from government or society. Due to their entrenched moral beliefs, Trump supporters reject the truth of social justice. When a poor person appropriates a TV from a white person, Trump supporters see an immoral act, not the righting of white privilege. When government seizes excess wealth and then gifts it to poor people who are incapable of living to the standards of white society, Trump supporters only see an unconstitutional theft.
