Can I just say I’m happy there’s a section of Republicans that think he needs to go, and are actively pushing him out?
The entire party isn’t a hive mind i.e sharing one mind.
The problem is that a normal person can be talked into doing something not in their best interest. A narcissist could only ever be lured away to something bigger.
Are you saying that all people with a certain mental disorder aren’t able to choose to be kind?
That’s an interesting framing device you’ve got there; But yes, in the cases of antisocial personalities and narcissists. They have a markedly diminished capacity for empathy.
The real question is are those Republicans still going to vote for him on Election Day.
Not a big enough section. He won the primaries by so much that there might as well have been no other options.
Thankfully a lot has changed since then. Back then not even most Democrats thought he was as unhinged as he’s been acting in public since Kamala Harris took over the ticket.
So, they were okay with the racism, okay with the Muslim ban, okay with the insurrection…but now they’re anti-Trump because he’s acting weird?
It’s like if you went to church, and the vicar said:
“You know what? I don’t fancy delivering this sermon with moral guidance. Lets just sing 10 hymns in a row.”
… Y’all never had that happen?
“The Lord has other plans for the service today, so we’re going to continue in this state of worship.”
I grew up JW, and their meetings were very structured and organized. They do sometimes show videos and such, but a congregation is organized around not one pastor or anything but a whole group of them, any of who could do the main Sunday surmon (and I have seen subs often enough). They also have “ministerial servants” who are I guess basically elders(pastors I guess?) in training, and they often handled a lot of stuff too.
That makes sense. This church was ‘non-denominational’, which meant that if they could just have the church band play a jam session and still make money, they would.
And everyone would be fine with it because that’s obviously what the Lord wanted him to do.
The man who talks to God says sing hymns? Cool. Now he says have some kool-aid? Cool cool.
Truly this power could never be misused.
Isn’t listening to music something that humans do?
Well, not in this particular way, no. It’s like your boss call you for meeting and instead of discussing business, he listen to music 30min straight.
People are still falling all over themselves to vote for this turd; to buy a huge stars and stripes decal of him and stick it on the back window of their Ford Raptor next to their Three Percenter decal. Buy a huge flag that says Trump 2024 FUCK YOUR FEELINGS and hang it on a flagpole by the front door to their house, on the street with kids riding their bikes outside.
And there’s an ever growing uncertainty about whether or not this meatball is going to actually win or not.
They don’t care about Trump, he is just a symbol. Trump getting elected legitimizes what Trump represents, and that is hate.
Success in life means you have God’s (AKA karma/the universe/ect) approval. Becoming the president of the US is the ultimate sign of success and therefore also the ultimate sign of God’s approval.
Having someone who openly and brazenly hates the same stuff you do get elected president is more than just a sign of approval, it is like a high five from Jesus and all the angels. That means that everything awful that Trump has done or is doing doesn’t turn them off of him, instead it’s just the opposite. His hate filled statements, his ties to Epstein, his obvious desire to fuck his own daughter… he is open and blatant about them, but he is still “winning”. And therefore, all of the awful shit he does, and has done, is something that his followers can attain for themselves.
and this is why religion has to go. how the fuck this archaic thought process still dominates modern society is beyond me, but i cannot see a way out of this until religion is stomped into the ground by any means necessary. it is literally one of the top three roadblocks to a humane world.
This guy lives on the street behind me. He even has one of those garage projector things with the trump 2024 logo on it that he has up every night and a trump flag for each window of his car.
I’ve got two houses facing each other on my street who have been in a fascist flag competition for as long is I can remember. One of them even has an RFK sign next to his Trump yard sign. But yeah what I described above I saw on my way through a neighborhood in my small town. Its distressing!
It was life on twitch as well. I reported the stream for bigotry
