yes, incredibly concerned, and have been since he was elected. He is literally fine w millions of followers inhabiting an alternate reality. He thrives on dividing Americans from one another.
Exactly what the posts about narcissistic rage predict. He will maintain his self-delusion of popularity in every way he can. Martyrdom is especially appealing to the disenfranchised, it's self-glorification and self affirmed.
With FOX as his primary enabler. Although Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham and that Governor Noem all seem to know what side their bread is buttered ("fraud!") What FOX does (mainly through its prime time people) should be criminal. Those three rake in huge gobs of money lying to their audience and making them "more stupider". Full disclosure: Sure, I watch Rachel Maddow (white college educated liberal male, what do you expect?) but I record it and watch about, say, about half of a show (22-ish minutes, 30 tops). FOX News audience will have the TV turned to FOX ALL DAY. I'm not oblivious to the MSNBC slant. The one thing that makes me nuts about MSNBC is how they try so hard to show how many Trumpublicans turned away from him, and the election showed anything but. Trump will set fire to the house while preaching from the gazebo. Who cares? Not his house. He'll always have Mar-a-Lago. He just doesn't care about anything but the grift.
Agreed. Funny thing, I reached out to a friend who is a Trumper and we had fallen out due to our differences and tried to bury the hatchet....all I got back was what a dumbass I am and the typical.....THIS ISNT OVER, Its Treason Blah blah blah.........guess were not going to be friends, he is truly drinking the kool aid
If they deny Trump they have admit that they were deceived and wrong. Most people's ego's will take measures like delusion to support itself. Self image defense is sort of it's job. Yes, you are probably looking at a long haul before you can re-friend your friend and quite possibly never since you will always represent his own failure to him. an article: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hide-and-seek/201508/the-psychology-self-deception
Very cult like they will start pushing away all their family and friends and stick with their new family that believe in the alternate reality that they create.
I got a few of those, too. Close friends...well, at least they were. There was one friend on FB who posted she is moving to Parlor and then there was a list of replies from people I know well that said they were doing the same. I wanted to thank the OP for providing a list of people I can easily ignore going forward. I don't want it to be like that. I have many republican friends. I like to have healthy conversations about politics with people from all angles. But this cult-like phenomena with these people is too much. They're incapable of an intelligent and calm conversation. It's evidenced in here with many posters. I'm not saying it doesn't exist on the left, too...because it absolutely does. But none of the lefties are flying "Biden" flags from their homes or vehicles. We seriously need a nationwide intervention for these people.
There's definitely going to be rallies. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see one scheduled for the night of Jan 20th. After the inauguration is finalized, of which he will certainly not attend, he will hold a rally to start his 2024 campaign.
I some FB friends as well moving to Parlor (which I assume is a cesspool of stupid). I happy to get their lame crap off of my FB feed, but they are friends and I do not wish Parlor on anyone.
I've actually argued about how people will lie to themselves (self-deception) and heard others tell me, as if I were that daft, that such a thing is impossible. (This was pre-Trump.) I wanted to say, "But you're practicing self-deception right now," but, alas, this was my manager at the time giving me the long face (you know the long face? the one that someone is scoffing behind?)
We've served the eviction notice and I'll let him out of his lease early but I doubt he's getting his deposit back. He's going to do as much damage as he can on his way out the door.
I predict Trump will replace the defense secretary so when the elections get overturned, he will have one in place that will support the insurrection law.. WARRRRRR!
