"I've been trying to explain this to you since Obama took office. I recently simplified it to help you understand what it is you're faced with. Here is the simplest way I can break it down for you: America's right wing ARE NOT your fellow Americans who want the same things as you, but just have a different opinion as to how to get there. They ARE NOT trying to create the same America that you are trying to create. They HATE post Civil Rights America and they literally want to destroy it and replace it with a white supremacist theocratic oligarchy. Underestimate them at your own peril. Think about this for a moment. Trump said, "I can shoot someone in the middle of the street and not lose any support", and his loyal followers cheered. But what was he really saying? He was explicitly saying, "My supporters are so brainwashed that they could see me commit a crime with their own eyes, and they'd call it fake news and continue to support me". That's what he was saying in no uncertain terms, and they took it as a compliment. Now think about this. The heads of our intelligence agencies all testified under oath, that Russia attempted to interfere in our election to undermine the chances of one candidate and to help the other. They all said that this is an extremely serious situation that we need to get to the bottom of. How did Trump supporters react to this testimony? Did they get angry at Vladimir Putin and Russia? No..... They got angry at the media that covered it and our intelligence agencies. Did they declare Russia and Putin their enemy? No... They declared the media and anyone who wanted to get to the bottom of it their enemy. What you are dealing with is people who have been programmed for 30 years to only accept facts that fit their narrative. You are not gonna "reason" with them. You're not gonna have a civil discussion with them. You cannot win an argument with someone who is completely immune to facts. "I can shoot someone in the middle of the street and not lose any support".... Think about the gravity of that level of brainwashing for a moment! These people actually would rather see the nation go up in flames and disappear into the pages of history than admit that Trump is a miserable failure and a con artist. They are not gonna help you save America from the fascist threat. They ARE the fascist threat!" originally from Craig Turner and ii dadmanlarry@gmail.com feel this way also!
