A former neighbor’s wife said she will vote former President Trump. When we asked why since Trump had called those in the military “losers”, had attempted a coup, lied on his income taxes committing tax fraud, boasted of committing sexual assaults, and lied about having Covid giving it to many of his friends and their families. He has repeatedly said certain parts of the Constitution and Amendments don’t apply to him. If he wanted a Florida resident to be his running mate he could – that is the XII Amendment violation. He has said the XXII Amendment means he can have at least two more terms if he wants.
She knows nothing about politics except for what her husband, a former Navy chief, tells her. His information comes only from the right wing websites and media channels. He is located in his silo so she is also.
How many other people are stuck in the same wacky silos, fearing to hear the truth and shake walls they have built around themselves? Many of those people only associate with those people in the same silo, feeding on each other’s more wacky thoughts and misconstrued information. This creates conspiracies and groups of armed radicals like those leading the January 20 riotous insurrections.
How can a person support someone for any political office that boasts of his criminal acts and insanity? How can groups support him because all the other politicians are crooks and dictators? Trump is the poster boy for everything they hate and fear. Trump says what they want to hear, just as Adolf Hitler told the depressed German people. We know how that turned out for his close friends and supporters. He had them eliminated.
Silos that have solid walls which don’t allow conflicting information to be considered will lead to Democracy’s demise!
