Because that con is still the candidate if choice for the Republican Party! It's as simple as that. He wants to run again!!! As long as he is in the running I will call out his BS. That doesn't mean I need to seek help . That was a bit childish to say just because you disagree with everyone who voted Trump out. Vote for who you want to dude. Believe what you choose to believe. That's your right. I'm not stopping you. Anyway, I'm done discussing this with you. We see things differently. Just don't support bullying posters who disagree with each other is all I ask.
You make it sound like he died on a cross for us. Gotta say, i almost did a spit take when I read that.
Clearly most of ya'll are completely blind to reality, Trump for 4 years fought for this country.... Fought for the economy, fought for freedom of speech and our 2nd amendment.... All while enduring criticism from clowns and fake news, enduring attacks from wealthy dems who launched a disinformation campaign to make Trump look racist... And look at what happened, they succeeded. Now we have a bunch dumb asses who voted for Biden based on fake news and ruined our economy. Nothing I said was meant spiritually, then again anyone who believes in Biden is brain dead anyways so I'm not surprised this is what you guys got out of it.... Enjoy pumping gas at $5.00 a gallon this week.... Next month could be worse.....
He won't America had enough of his bullshit and voted him out by 8 million votes.....he is not getting more popular he is getting less popular. The Republican party doesn't even like him...they are fractured..... People in the USA know he is a con man, and he is probably going to die by then anyway..... DD
If you don't want Trump back in office, do what you can to make sure the guy you voted for isn't running next time. Hating Trump is all you have supporting an incumbent with such low approval ratings. Serious question, would you vote for Biden again?
Welp, you better hope things get better.... Believe it or not, Biden right now is the leading man in a Trump comeback.... People's sense of morality tends to change when their wallet is empty. Assuming none of it is Biden's fault. Gas prices, housing market, immigration, groceries, automobiles and everything that we are seeing going up will be blamed on Biden anyways...
By the looks of it they rather lose everything instead of having Trump in office... They would vote Biden again, they all would...
This is 2022, neither Trump or Biden will be a viable candidate in 2024, and you guys are just being ripped off paying into his scams like he is going to run, he isn't. DD
Neither should run again, but if those were my options I sure as hell wouldn't vote for the Traitor Trump. I used to support that party but it changed far too much for my liking. I won't vote for any Republican in 2024. I hate the loose gun laws, I hate the lies and propaganda that incited a coup. I hate that they cut mental healthcare funding and don't give a damn that millions can't afford healthcare, I hate that radical right domestic terrorists hate groups support them, and they actually speak at their rallies. I hate how they want to arm teachers, and I hate that they have people like Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and Margarine Taylor Greene getting paid to smear hate and lies. I hate how they defended Trump and his butt kissers for inciting the coup. I am a 20 year Veteran and I see that as anything but Patriotism. I hate how they bash the military for accepting gays, yet are too damn cowardly to actually put their own lives on the battlefields. The gays in the military deserve the same respect as anyone else serving their country. I hate how that party is so hell bent on telling people how to live their lives and initiating bigot laws against the LGBQT community. I hate how they call teachers and people who accept gays as pedophile groomers yet accept the real accused pedophiles in their own party. I hate that there are people like Ted Cruz, our Accused felon Attorney General, and Greg Abbott doing NOTHING to expand healthcare and take action to make smarter gun laws. They spent all their time wasting tax dollars to restrict voting, and force multiple recounts to no avail. They spent all their time taunting masks during the height of the pandemic. They disgust me. I believe in treating everyone as equals and accepting people for their beliefs, their lifestyles, and their sexual orientation. I don't see that type acceptance in the GOP. It's the opposite actually. So, for all those reasons and more I will not vote for that party.
1. The leader is the ultimate authority If you’re not allowed to criticize your leader, even if the criticism is true, you’re probably in a cult. Cults begin with a charismatic leader who claims some supreme knowledge. They may call themselves a prophet, messiah, messenger, or an enlightened teacher. They can also be CEOs, military officials, politicians, and self-help gurus. Cult leaders convince members to forfeit their critical thinking ability in return for a sense of belonging, authority, and purpose. To members, it doesn’t matter what the evidence or logic may suggest, the leader is always right, and their misdeeds are always justified. Criticism of the leader is forbidden. 2. The group suppresses skepticism If you’re only allowed to study your organization through approved sources, you’re probably in a cult. Cults view critical thinking as an infectious disease and every effort is made to suppress it. Doubting members are encouraged to isolate themselves from outside influences and focus solely on the doctrine of the cult. Criticism is forbidden. People who contradict the group are viewed as persecutors and are often given labels like “anti,” “apostate,” or “suppressive person.” Members are discouraged from consuming any material that is critical of the group. 3. The group delegitimizes former members If you can’t think of a legitimate reason for leaving your group, you’re probably in a cult. Because the cult considers itself the ultimate authority on truth, it can’t imagine anybody leaving it with their integrity intact. Thus, it has to perpetuate a false narrative that former members were deceived, proud, immoral, or lazy. If former members speak out, they are dismissed as bitter, angry, dishonest or evil. Cults often impose some kind of shunning to shame former members and prevent them from infecting other members with the truth. 4. The group is paranoid about the outside world If your group insists the end of the world is near, you’re probably in a cult. Cults position themselves as the sole refuge from an evil outside world that is intent on their destruction. Cults thrive on conspiracy theories, catastrophic thinking, and persecution complexes. In an effort to draw in more paying members, cults are often very aggressive in their recruitment efforts which are usually justified as “saving” people from the evil world. Those who reject the cult’s message are unelect, prideful, evil, or stupid. 5. The group relies on shame cycles If you need your group in order to feel worthy, loved, or sufficient, you’re probably in a cult. Cult leaders trap members in shame cycles by imposing abnormally strict codes of conduct (usually prescriptions about diet, appearance, sex, relationships, media), guilting members for their shortcomings, and then positioning themselves as the unique remedy to the feelings of guilt which they themselves created. Cult members are made to believe they are insufficient or unworthy on their own and that the only way to become worthy is to confess their shortcomings to the group or leader. The leader then becomes the meditiator of worthiness and the foundation of the member’s self esteem. Leaders who can make followers feel bad about anything can use shame to manipulate followers into doing anything, even if it’s against their own self-interest or better judgment. 6. The leader is above the law If you’re held to a different moral standard, specifically in regard to sex, you’re probably in a cult. A prevalent idea among cult leaders is that they are above the law, be it human or divine. This idea allows them to exploit their followers economically and sexually without repercussions. When confronted, they do not confess, but create justifications for their impropriety. Sexual grooming of members is common. Loyal cult members will perform any amount of “mental gymnastics” to justify or ignore the leader’s behavior. 7. The group uses “thought reform” methods If your serious questions are answered with cliches, you’re probably in a cult. Indoctrination or “brainwashing” is the process through which a cult slowly breaks down a person’s sense of identity and ability to think rationally. Behaviors like excessive fasting, prayer, hypnosis, scripture reading, chanting, meditation, or drug usage can all be used to increase a person’s vulnerability to the leader’s suggestions. The hallmark of indoctrination is the use of thought-terminating cliches. Platitudes like “follow the leader” or “doubt your doubts” are regurgitated over and over so that members don’t have to critically analyze complex issues. 8. The group is elitist If your group is the solution for all the world’s problems, you’re probably in a cult. Cults see themselves as the enlightened, chosen, and elect organization tasked with radically transforming individual lives and the entire world. This elitism creates greater sense of group unity and responsibility centered on a united purpose. However, this sense of responsibility is often manipulated by cult leaders who coerce members into risky financial behavior, sexual favors, free manual labor, or heightened recruitment efforts in order to “further the cause.” 9. There is no financial transparency If you’re not allowed to know what the group does with their money, you’re probably in a cult. A group that refuses to disclose its finances is a huge red flag. Ethical organizations have nothing to hide. Cult leaders tend to live opulently while their followers are required to make financial sacrifices. Members are often encouraged to pay their offerings even if it means putting their families at risk. 10. The group performs secret rites If there are secret teachings or ceremonies you didn’t discover until after you joined, you’re probably in a cult. Cults use secret rituals as rites of passage that solidify a member’s loyalty to the group. Initiation into these rites usually only comes after a member has undergone certain tests or made adequate financial contributions. Often, cult initiations are confusing, bizarre, or even offensive. This mental dissonance between their sense of confusion and their loyalty to the “inner circle” convinces the initiate to double their efforts in order to properly appreciate the proceedings. This only further entrenches them in a shame cycle, making them even more susceptible to manipulation.
Yes he fought so hard for his country that his foundation was sued and forced to shut down because they were defrauding charities for veterans. While he was President. That he would redirect military transport routes to benefit properties that he owned. That he gave his daughter and son in law high ranking positions in his government dealing with issues that directly affected their family businesses. That coincidently those businesses gained from policy changes that happened while Trump was President. That two of his Secretary of Defenses have publicly said he has been divisive and dangerous. I could go on.. I don't deny that the economy was doing well under Trump and I did personally benefit. I don't deny that there are some big problems with inflation being a big one. None of that doesn't mean that Trump was out enriching him and his family personally while he was in office. This is classic conman behavior. Convince people that he is fighting for you and that his struggles and opponents are yours.
And Biden is clean? You can't possibly believe that.... There are thousands of people dying in Ukraine where Biden just so happens to have investments in as well. Biden quite possibly has a longer and more sinister list of dirty laundry than Trump.... Only difference is, us.... They will always do what they do, its us who suffer. We are the ones who have to put up with whatever happens to the economy or our rights. So lets assume we want a good guy in office, a genuinely good guy. Lets say we dump both in 2024, no to Biden and no to Trump.... Who runs? Is there a Dem who will respect our 2nd amendment? Is there a Rep that will enforce stricter guns laws? There is no perfect candidate, buts its not like either side has candidates that both Dems and Reps will live with. The division is much too great, I don't know how this will play out but the division is too much. Everyone is radical with no give, not an inch.
Just out of curiosity, what do you think about all the people who once worked for/with Trump and who later came out and said he wasn't qualified to be POTUS? Pence, Esper, Mattis, McConnell, Kelly, Grisham, etc. It's a remarkably long list of people who were privy to his decision making process and are now publicly regretting their support. Do you outright dismiss their take as well?
