I have seen it firsthand in friends and family who are Trump supporters. They are now combative, self-righteous, and closed-minded when the topic of Trump is raised. The most serious part is that they remain ignorant of the truth about Donald J. Trump as he continues to damage America.
Through deception and repetition, like all bullshit artists and aspiring dictators, Trump has made it normal and acceptable to his adoring supporters to lie, blame, and behave in despicable ways just like him. Being that Trump is a longtime public figure and especially because he’s a former President, those who have been seduced by his con seem to be subconsciously able to automatically accept what he says as true. After all, to them, he occupies the highest place of celebrity and authority in our society. So his supporters immediately believe everything he says.
I know of no other way to explain why people with all levels of education and intelligence continue to support Trump after all the heartbreaking, despicable, unlawful, unethical, immoral, and inhuman things he has done. For those of us who are not easily brainwashed, impressed by celebrity, or ever saw any useful or relatable value in Trump, it’s easy to see what this man is about. I find it interesting that most people in Europe saw Trump’s bullshit game straightaway. In most cases, long before he became President. I could. I’ve never had any respect for Trump. I now have a million times less than zero.
What really confirmed, enlightened, and brought it together for me about Trump, was reading these books.
In many ways, I believe things are quickly and strongly shifting against Trump. His supporters and MAGA Republicans are falling away by the day. His countless legal problems appear to be headed toward serious charges soon.
I find it uplifting, inspiring, and gratifying to watch these things. Trump is being held accountable. American democracy is holding together. Many good people in the United States are taking a stand against Trump, MAGA Republicans, and fascism. And in doing these things we are beginning to reunite. Once complete, America will be stronger than ever!
