Why didn’t he just comply?

- Start date
I thought he was a joke when I first learned who he was in 2006, when he had a Twitter war with Rosie O'Donnell. He sounded like an idiot or a child. But how does an idiot become a Billionaire? Oh, he inherited it from his dad, and The Apprentice happened.
We have to take Trump seriously because there are a lot of very, very angry people in America for whom he is their one and only savior. Enough to have gotten him elected once and here we are again 8 years later.
How and why these people are so angry is almost beside the point, the object of their anger (the "liberal elite establishment") can do nothing to mollify them. IMO cable news and social media are complicit in this wave of anger.
One thing I've learned in my 6+ decades of life is: When you're angry, you tend to make very bad decisions.

And his followers are dead serious about his Messiah like position. They’ve had four years of hooray and then four years of you’re a terrible person. They want to be right so damn much. At this point there’s so much confusion in the GOP and their message is so all over the map that I really have no idea what it is they stand for anymore.
I also won the bet about the hush money case being dismissed
it's on for April...
I hope VonMeister is doing well out there, wherever he may be
I think old school non-angry Republicans pretty much don't have a home any more. Their best hope is to wait it out until Trump goes away and the pissed off people don't have their Lord and Savior any more and their party can get back to the business of being conservative.
Interesting take from a guy I never liked but now sounds reasonable:
Maybe your scumbag ilk constanly referring to Trump as the MessiahWhere do you come up with this stuff?
They built and worshipped a Graven Image of Trump FFS....BUT NOY A CULT.
More inventions? The cultish behaviour comes from the anti-Trump people if anythingMaybe your scumbag ilk constanly referring to Trump as the Messiah
I think it's mostly culture-war stuff.
But at this point I think a lot of the most strident MAGA people can't even articulate why they are fighting, what's important to them is that they are fighting.
Going to have to see somew specifics about Trump policies that were reversed, my understanding is Border policy stayed largely the same.
The funny thing is that the people who think Trump is a joke are people like iFall who think they’re in on the joke. Only they aren’t.
Agreed. Its about being seen as doing what they think they are supposed to be doing. Very little articulation and a whole lot of hype
I don't think you realize it, but you just touched on the eact reason why the anger is there
Almost half the country feels voiceless, with no one to represent them. Their opinions are dismissed, ignored, and portrayed as bigoted blather from racist rubes
Trump probably isn't the person to save them, but he's the one who at least pays lip service, and that's why they support him
