Donald Trump and the Politics of Fear
Trump’s candidacy relies on the power of fear. It could be the only way for him to win.
Trump Once Said Power Was About Instilling Fear.
Feb 4, 2019 - The president has tried to use fear as the prime motivator both with American allies and Democrats in Congress. It has not worked well for him.
Instilling fear is what Trump is all about.

He once before said that "power was about instilling fear"
As such, my question for all of you "Is fear what drives you?"
Do you believe fear is what makes a person worthwhile? a reason to progress? A reason to improve? or is fear something that draws you down, that makes you less that what you want to be, that is not a basis for being better than you are?
Fear is what Trump pushes
Fear of the Democrats
Fear of the Chinese
Fear of the Mexicans
Fear of immigrants
Fear of protests against injustice
Fear of the media
Fear of change
Fear of science
Fear of socialism
Fear of the unknown
Fear of difference of opinion
Is fear was makes you do things? Otherwise, you would not try to become a better person?

No, not fear but faith.
No, not fear but faith.
Bull****.
Trump supporters have no faith. They have belief, hope, desire to once again dominate the social and spiritual landscape, but they don't have faith. If they did, they wouldn't be afraid all the time. They certainly wouldn't be afraid of just about every group of people that Jesus told them to love.

Faith? Fear is not faith so then why does Trump instill fear and not faith?
Try to follow along please. The OP asked "Is fear was makes you do things?" I answered. You seem to be confusing the singular and the plural. You surely aren't presuming to tell me, a stranger, why I live my life as I do...are you?

I can't answer your question. Trump doesn't instill anything in me.
And there it is. The predictably defensive reaction that makes my point for me.
Notice that nota didn't try to deny what was said. She simply tried to swat it away with the latest failed attempt at nitpicking a trivial point so that she wouldn't have to face the much larger point.
What a lame try. I'm not being at all defensive; you're projecting. :roll:
But fear is what he does all the time. You do not listen to him? You do support him, don't you?
"Fear" does NOT drive me.
Sheer TERROR drives me.
I am terrified when I see grinning looters laughing when they destroy people's livelihoods.
I am terrified when I see a "child" suddenly sucker punch a passing pedestrian, who falls to the ground. (That could have been I.)
I am terrified when I read this morning that the Speaker of the House feels that Republicans are "domestic enemies."
I wish that there were more Trumps as mayors and governors.
But I know that he will supposedly lose on November 3 and that his enemies are salivating at the thought of sending him to prison.
You betcha I'm terrified.
No, I don't listen to him much, only catch sound bytes and read the daily "two-minute hates," when forced, here at DP. Trump doesn't have an impact on my life.

Your bubble sounds very comfortable.
No, I don't listen to him much, only catch sound bytes and read the daily "two-minute hates," when forced, here at DP. Trump doesn't have an impact on my life. I leave the frothing-at-the-mouth pathologies to others. Trump is boorish and beset by character flaws, but I'm neither a fan nor an "Orange Man bad" person.
Lotta irrationality going around on all sides. It's stupid and counterproductive, but as I've said, my eye is elsewhere.
Then you are the exception and not the rule as Trump has grabbed most everyone by the balls and by the ***** and has not let go.
Evidently, that is not something that has happened to you.
It's not a matter of fear, It's reality of the situation to make sound decisions.
Concern about democrat policy...you bet.
Chinese hegemony, trade practices.
mexicans, illegal immigration is a crime with many side effects.
Protests against injustice.. Riots are a crime and an injustice to the victims of the riots.
Change...depends on from what to what. Not all change is good.
Socialism.. that's not who we are or want to be.
media.. much of it is propaganda for the benefit of democrats.
