So we’re right?
What a pathetic fearful, deluded world they live in — everyone is using them, trump, his wife, trump’s sons and daughter, the GOP, fake news site creators, trump’s swamp, hate radio, the alt-right.
Reminds me of religion, especially those embodied in mega churches. The leaders don’t really believe in god and know they’re lying POS, but go after the stupid, the gullible, the fearful, the believers, the vulnerable, the ignorant, the uneducated, three needy using the same tactics as cult leaders.
Who are these weak-minded people?
To start your very own trump universe:
1) Begin by creating your own reality. Tell everyone everything is fake, the media tells nothing but lies about you because you are pure as the driven snow and only tell the truth, and your followers should accept your reality and only what you say, believe you.
2) Next, setup trump and swampland as the only link to... making America great again. Only they and trump hold the keys.
3) Remember to make increasing demands. Start small but keep it going and eventually you’ll have your followers standing in line to turn over their votes, tax money, beliefs, skepticism, reality, and undying loyalty.
4) Keep turning out stories about the greatness of yourself. The more unbelievable the more they will be believed. Trumpettes have already been conditioned to believe whatever you bloviate anyway. Doubledown, no matter how ridiculous the lie and they will, too.
5) Remember to use your converts to bring in still more converts. Rile them up and tell them to violently attack anyone who dares to question or oppose you. You will protect them with an invincible shield of rightness.
6) Keep everybody busy with diversionary tactics, like voter fraud and the size of your inaugural crowd and signing executive orders with a flourish, but with no thought as to ramifications. This doesn’t let the minds of the masses wander and who knows, they might put two and two together. For this reason, long rambling statements that can be interpreted, misinterpreted, reinterpreted and can mean whatever is convenient at any moment and even denied later by surrogates will keep everyone wondering what you said and what it meant and keep your believers believing.
7) And finally, keep your flock fixated on the carrot. The payoff is just around the corner and only they will be the ones paid off. The clouds will part and they will be raptured up into an America of the 1950's when coal and manufacturing jobs reigned supreme, women were barefoot and pregnant, and perfect families of moms and dads and 2.2 children lived happily ever after, and then, boy-oh-boy, won’t all those non-believers be sorry when the fantasy becomes true and prices and taxes stay low and preexisting conditions don't matter, while all coal mining jobs (and black lung disease) comes back!
