Sad Trump cultists burn there MAGA hats
    #24637461 -

https://www.indy100.com/article/donald-trump-supporters-burning-make-america-great-again-hats-protest-7948486

I must say this doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Trump voters were duped by a slick con artist who promised them the moon and the stars and now reality sets in. It would seem that Americans keep getting duped again and again. When will the common vote realize that change will come bottom up from local grass roots organizing and not top down from the presidency. Local politicians do far more to sway the culture than the federales. Thoughts on the matter?

There probably are not very many, if any at all, free elections.  Lot's of big players that have heavy influence.

Republicans are any more simply a fully retarded group, that believes anything that fits their self identity.

I think there are lots of special interests that have undue influence but I would say the elections are still working as the founders intended.

I wonder how many of the hundred million+ Trump supporters are burning their MAGA hats?  A few dozen maybe from what I can tell from the article?  :shrug:

I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Trump voters are still supporting him at this point since it's so early in the term.

Hell, it took Obama supporters 6 years before they found out they were conned.

The thing Trump has working in his favor is that he isn't on good terms with the D's or R's, that makes his supporters even more committed to the Trump vs The Establishment theme.

Do you have any evidence to support your claim that there are more than 100,000,000 Trump supporters?  He only got 61,201,031 votes in November, and his support seems to have gone down from there.

Maybe you're including all of his supporters in Russia?

With 320+ million people in the US, and Trump getting 45%+ of the vote, I figured 100,000,000+ wasn't unreasonable.

I gave you the rationale for 100 million+.  Why don't tell us how many Trump supporters you think there are in the US and why?  :popcorn:

Well, he seems to be sitting at about 35% approval rating.  The population of the US is about 325,000,000.  About 25% of those are children, leaving about 244 million adults.  35% of 244 million comes to about 85 million.  There might be a handful of supporters among children, but not very many, so I'd guess maybe 86 million or so.

But I'm not the one who made the claim.  You are.  It seems your claim was based on the vote, which is almost a year old and came to far less than your stated number.

I try to avoid politics at all costs, specially speaking about politics, it's not my interest, and it's an area where there is very little clarity, specially regarding those who invest more energy than they should in the area.

I will make an exception this one time and speak about politics very briefly.

Free elections, as well as true demoracy are an illusion.

"Divide and conquer", that's their credo, divide the masses into left and right and put them against one another, they try to divide us by race, by class, by culture, by location, and so on, they will take and exploit every petty difference, any possible ignorance and all potential prejudices which may already exist in an effort to divide, control, manipulate and oppress.

We are all Americans, further more we are all humans, it doesn't matter if you are black or white or if you are from Africa or England, we are all humans.

Elections and democracy itself has been designed in such a way that most never figure out how it's been manipulated to prevent them from taking back what is rightfully theirs.

Madison believed that only the rich, only the well informed and highly educated should be in charge of democracy...

Quote:
James Madison — who was the main framer, and one of the founding fathers who was most libertarian — makes it very clear that the new constitutional system must be designed so as to insure that the government will, in his words “protect the minority of the opulent against the majority” and bar the way to anything like agrarian reform. The determination was made that America could not allow functioning democracy, since people would use their political power to attack the wealth of the minority of the opulent. Therefore, Madison argues, the country should be placed in the hands of the wealthier set of men, as he put it.

QUESTION: Isn’t that erection of barriers to democracy woven through the entire history of the United States?

CHOMSKY: It goes back to the writing of the Constitution. They were pretty explicit. Madison saw a “danger” in democracy that was quite real and he responded to it. In fact, the “problem” was noticed a long time earlier. It’s clear in Aristotle’s Politics, the sort of founding book of political theory — which is a very careful and thoughtful analysis of the notion of democracy. Aristotle recognizes that, for him, that democracy had to be a welfare state; it had to use public revenues to insure lasting prosperity for all and to insure equality. That goes right through the Enlightenment. Madison recognized that, if the overwhelming majority is poor, and if the democracy is a functioning one, then they’ll use their electoral power to serve their own interest rather than the common good of all. Aristotle’s solution was, “OK, eliminate poverty.” Madison faced the same problem but his solution was the opposite: “Eliminate democracy.”

-noam Chomsky



Believe what you want...

as an intellectual you quickly tire of trying to constantly bring light to the darkened realms of ignorance, all you find is that the bigger you build the fire, the more darkness you reveal.
I understand why enlightened individuals and highly realized beings remain silent, they know you won't understand.

Knowledge is a burden more than it is a benefit.

'Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.-Confucius —

When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game. The establishment will irritate you – pull your beard, flick your face – to make you fight. Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.”― John Lennon

The hamstringing of the Trump administration is complete:  The only viable candidates in 2016 were Clinton and Jeb Bush.

The play of democrats and inside Reps people had the goal of keeping the swamp in place, to benefit the big banks and private insider Elites of the big statism government.

In 2020, Bernie is not a viable candidate.  Viable is big government that spends your money on what the wheels in Congressman want.  The wheels for the Democrats is Chuck Schumer and the Reps Bitch McConnell--the gators in the swamp. 

Reason is not the President's: Not Trump, not Obama.  that couldn't getting shit moving for the same reason--the swamp and congress.  That's the problem.
