About Those Trump Supporters
American Spectator, Jul 19, 2017, Judah Friedman

For years, millions of Americans have been held hostage by the leftist liberal and media platforms. Living in the shadows of society as they watched their incomes flat line, and factories and professions shut down. They have been mocked for their faiths and ridiculed for their beliefs, constantly being told that’s what’s good for the goose isn’t good for the gander. Pushed so hard, they collectively screamed: “We are mad as hell, and we aren’t going to take it anymore.”

So, on that fateful November 8th, Americans didn’t necessarily vote for a president, as much as they voted for the man who rescued them from captivity. The media, the polls, or whatever metric these political “savants” use will never understand the loyalty Trump supporters have to their rescuer. How could they? They don’t realize that they have been the hostage takers.

We’ve seen decades of Americans being told how to think, what they can say, and what they should or shouldn’t value. Noncompliance, for many, meant loss of jobs along with copious amounts of ridicule. They have had to endure watching celebrities railing against Second Amendment rights, while the celebs themselves are protected by the Second Amendment. Seeing those who espouse hatred of capitalism, while getting rich from their hatred, reveals hypocrisy on levels never seen. Promised a bill of goods, they quickly learned those goods were a third of their value if not absolutely worthless.

So, the media is correct: Trump supporters just don’t give a damn, and why the hell should they. They are free. ...

A little more: 

Quote
So, yes, Trump supporters don’t give a damn about a meeting, a tweet, or whatever the hell else it is you have convinced yourselves should matter to the rest of us. But they do care. They care about God, their families, communities, and their livelihoods. They care about all of the people being killed in America. They care about the devastations of the opioid epidemic, and all real things that plague, what they consider to be, the greatest country endowed by the Almighty.

A better example to explain how a cult of personality works in the minds of True Believers, one can never find.

Once you begin to declare a lifelong NYC Liberal Democrat running as a Republican as a Deliverer from Captivity - I'm opposing such imbecility as vehemently as possible.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Of course it does. 

People of principle are always a scorned woeful minority in a society gone full tilt into wicked depravity.

A mob of such a people whom want a Deliverer who kicks ass and lays waste their enemies is replete throughout history.  Often beginning with chants of "Barabbas!  Barabbas!"

@Right_in_Virginia

Nevertrumpers won't be happy until this country burns.

I've really tried to resist this thesis @driftdiver   But I see on this thread such a willingness to post without reading the article and understanding how much in common they would have with Trump supporters ... if only they could surrender their obsessive need to be proven right about a candidate they didn't want in an election long over.

So, maybe they would be happy to see the country burn, just so they can point to others and say "I told you so".

I hope I'm wrong on this one, but hope is fading fast.

Yeah, that's it.

I mean, it couldn't be because we're governed by principles we refuse to surrender or compromise on.

It couldn't be because we want nothing to do with belonging to a cult of personality that declares a politician to be Moses or Jesus via subtle and overt suggestion.

It couldn't be because we are not willing to accept a little Socialism because we are told that is the reality we must compromise with.

It couldn't be because fomenting payback and violence is simply becoming what you pretend to oppose.

Nah....

It must be because we want to see the country burn.

Yeah... that's it.

The absurdity is that such a statement is coming from people who want full-tilt warfare to be imposed on those they hate.  The irony beyond measure.

You continue to miss the point of the article @INVAR .  I hope it's deliberate and not a reflection of ability.  Either way, there's no need to "discuss" this with you any more.  I will leave you to your ever shrinking universe.

I read the article.  I'm "fighting for a floundering belief system"?  I suppose that is very true.  If only I were more pragmatic and willing to give in to socialism.

So you are a supporter of popular vote democracy??  The kind NOT called for in our Constitution?

As such you fall right into place with Maxine Waters Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, etc.

Congratulations. Now a question: Why are you even interested in a conservative political forum?

This is an explicit post with the intended meaning that Trump's supporters are Nazis or like Nazis.

We dealt with that months ago. It is either a mistake by Invar, who either missed or can't remember, or an oversight by the mods.

Either way, it is contrary to rules set down repeatedly here in the past.

Nowhere in what @HonestJohn said leads to the false conclusions you drew.

Not to mention at this point it's a completely threadbare canard and a sign of desperation on the part of those that still continue to toss out that crap.

You make up those answers in your own head and project them on to others to justify your blind fealty to someone who was more flaws than positives at this point.

That is your best shot? As personal insults go, 'make up in your own head' and 'blind fealty' are pretty weak.

Do you feel that HJ can't respond on his own?

That wasn't even a "shot"...not even an attempt at a personal insult.

Just pointing out a very obvious truthful fact.
