Trump lies are the least of my concerns. Bombing boats and killing whomever he wants is my top concern along with the ICE gestapo. Laurie
I do not disagree that those are concerning issues. However, the only reason Trump can do this is because a large percentage of our population seems okay with his lies.
Especially with blowing up drug boats and deporting gang members...
For something to be a lie, thee must be an intent to deceive. I don't Trump is deceiving anyone, and I often doubt whether that his intention. His false statements, like tearing down the White House are exercises in dominance. People don't believe Trump, they are dominated by him.==Hiram
Maybe that is how cults work?
For me, the most effective con mePn, are the con men who believe their own cons. We see this all the time. Most recent Ponzi schemes are run by people who believe in what they are doing, and sometimes even believe in what they are doing. Ponzi's own scheme, in theory, worked. It was based on a disparity in postal rates which he sought to arbitrage. What he missed was than order for his arbitrage to work, he needed liquid and effective market capable of absorbing the trading volume he created. Ponzi scheme often come to grief, when the markets they need disappear. Obversely, many schemes which verge on Ponzi don't fail, indeed succeed because the markets are capable of accommodating them during times of crisis. It is often said that all great fortunes are based on a crime. One of the things that means, IMO, is that at times, they were Ponzi, but they got through because the market was sufficient to cover it.--Hiram
Isolation, IMO, is a necessary element of a cult. A question I have asked myself is "Do I live in a cult?". My isolation isn't physical, of course. I don't live in 1852 Utah where Brigham Young ruled everything. But am I isolated in my access to information, by being blocked off for whatever reason, from different opinions different points of view, and different facts for that matter? I can tell you, no one I know or am close to, is a Trump supporter. I live in a political world where everyone shares in varying degrees, my political opinions. To the extent that i don't, it's the result of interacting with people on line, most of whom, I suspect are Russian bots.--Hiram
Here is something I d on't know and have questions about. Trump's reputation is built on the idea is that he is a great businessman, a master builder, it titan of commerce. Do people, Trump supporters in particular, really believe that? It isn't true, of course. Trump was at one time a very minor player in New York real estate. In the 1980's he built Trump Tower. But apart from that, he did very little actual building in NYC. His huge planned projects like Television City went nowhere. And of course where he did build, Atlantic City, all his projects ended in failure. His resurgence in wealth came from selling the family built by his father, and making tons of money from "The Apprentice".--Hiram
I have no idea why people like my parents are thoroughly vested in the idea that Trump is honest and an accomplished businessman?
They live in their MAGA echo chambers, they believe they are owed tax cuts, they are not comfortable with LGBTQ folks, etc.
My take is that Trump promises them what they want. And then their confirmation bias helps them rationalize supporting a man that they would never do business with.
