The key to being a good bullshitter or gaslighter or any other form of manipulator, is to know your readers. Like in poker, you don't play everyone at the table the same way. Or at least good players don't. If you try to bullshit/gaslight the "wrong one," you get exposed; hurting your chances of manipulating others. This particular manipulator never considered the possibility that anyone here could 'figure him out.' He's probably an ace manipulator among his family, friends, and coworkers.
They don't need your support. It's going to take years for you to unprogram yourself from your current belief system. Trump has really done a number on you.
I'd say most of the world has been wise to Trump at least a year or two before he was elected. Most Americans obviously not. My turning point was the Trump Tower in Toronto. The complex project was basically a fraud. Before that I was not really following much about him. As I've posted several times, Trump was only viewed favourably by 13% of Canadians right after the election ( polled ).
There was no election fraud. Told you this many times. How many failed court cases and disgraced lawyers you have to see before you understand this ?
Most Americans were,although far more should have been.He only won because our bull shit pro slavery EC election system that lets people win without getting the most votes.
You obviously aren't good with numbers. The Federal deficit under Trump was huge even before Covid. He was handed a healthy, growing economy under Obama. Bush handed Obama a huge financial crisis worst since 1929. Many posters on here expected a Depression or many years of a comatose economy with no growth.
I think a significant number of Americans who didn't vote for him carried a far more moderate opinion on his weaknesses as a man then citizens of many other countries. There seemed to be an attitude that he may be an asshole but his supposed business ability and the drain the swamp outlook made up for it. Here, nothing about Trump is really a surprise, he's the man we expected. The only surprise really is how deeply brainwashed many members of the base are.
That's very true. I was hospitalized / life support / coma in the fall of 2016. After I came out of an almost 2 month coma...the talk of the town in a French speaking hospital by doctors, nurses...everybody was shock that Trump was elected President. Every single person I met in the hospital didn't like the guy and were "stunned" by the election results. Some acted as if one of those biblical prophecies was coming true and the end of the world was near. I looked towards the window and saw snow coming down...I was trying very hard to remember whom Donald Trump was. This strange looking guy...well over 6 feet tall and built...wearing this astronaut like space suit...he tells me... Your Chicago Cubs won the World Series and you missed it. I cried. About 2 weeks later, I realized I was in quarantine and that strange looking guy was one of my brothers that had flown in from South Dakota and then I started remembering everyone else from my family that were wearing astronaut like space suits. Almost two years later, laughing about that day in the hospital with another brother...I asked him how did he feel about seeing me like that ? He responded via sending me a link to a video clip and jokingly called me Marlow... wrbtrader
If you're in a decent financial position and depending on if woke - marxist - cancel culture-socialism or any other pseudo-science gains any more traction in society most people should be fine .
