Fear! Is that was drives you?

[CaughtInThe]

No one will be safe in a Biden presidency



In a rambling speech last night, once again Trump used fear to stimulate American to vote for him and not for Biden.



Its funny because much of what he said is happening right now "under his watch".

Fear, fear, fear is all you get from Trump. Nonetheless, his actions show no fear (and certainly no protective measures) when it comes to what benefits him, such as last nights acceptance speech where no one that attended were required to get tested for corona virus but they were all crowded in and few masks were worn.

If you don't protect your OWN people from catching the virus, how can you protect the nation from anything.

This is the perfect case of a con man manipulating his base to do as he wants.

The worst part of all of this, is that over 30 million people (his base) believe this con man. Unbelievable!

is that pic real??

Trump speech at RNC 2020: Potential spreader of COVID, fear - Los Angeles Times

You are utterly blind f you don’t think both sides use fear, and anything else that will get votes and power. Fear of boogie man white supremacists, rampaging murdering cops, eminent world collapse and destruction from climate Change (we have 12 years left they say), women hating patriarchs talking their rights away, mass killers around every corner, take the guns, etc etc etc.

I am sorry to disagree with you 100%. Obama NEVER used fear to generate anyone. He was inspiring all the time. He was about people getting together to do their best, rather than fear fearing others.

Yea lots of blind partisans out there on both sides, no surprise.

No, not fear but faith.

'The RADICAL left'

'The Socialists'

'MS-13 is going to move in next door to you'

Where the HELL does "faith" come into that at all? Why didn't you Trumpers 'fear' a pandemic when your president called it a 'hoax' and 'it will come and go'. The problem this year is why didn't you have any fear when Trump dismissed concerns about the coronavirus as “alarmist.”

You and other Trumpers had 'faith' when Trump said; "We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It's going to be just fine."

So much for 'faith'. It's only blind cultism. He's your perceived 'savior' but let me remind you of something. People believe in a savior because he's ready to die for you. People are a cult because they're ready to die for 'their savior'.

Instilling fear is what Trump is all about.



Donald Trump and the Politics of Fear - The Atlantic

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?

A new thread is up on how the lawless leftist mobs are using fear and intimidation to push their agendas, attacking a US senator.

 

[nota bene]

What we wonder nota is how people who claim to have faith in god can be so cruel towards others.

You speak only for yourself. Why can’t you say “I wonder”? I don’t know why some people who profess religious faith are cruel…or hypocritical either.

People who call themselves christians, like marke, are some of the worst offenders spitting out their hatred all over the place.

You’re overgeneralizing about Christians by singling out one person on one political message board. I wonder why you are being so unfair.

Look at the people who are against abortion, they're always accusing others of murder and doing their best to impose laws against abortion.

Do I really need to explain to you that many of those who oppose abortion do so because they believe that this is morally wrong? Are you surprised that those who oppose the killing of innocent human life wish to restrict elective abortion?

Most on the right absolutely hate the democrats, very godly, no? I wouldn't mind people claiming faith if they actually led the life, most don't.

And here you are overgeneralizing again. You would have no way of knowing because you don’t know “most on the right,” but you also aren’t making a distinction between hating Democrat political views and those who truly hate Democrats as individuals whom they know. How would you know how most people of faith live their lives? How could you when you don’t know them?

And you’re contradicting yourself here—you do indeed mind very much those who are “actually leading the life” and putting their faith into practice by opposing elective abortion on demand.

Get back to me, Humble Pi, when you are able to see me as a unique individual rather than part of a group of "you's."

On second thought, don't get back to me. You have no respect for people whose opinions you don't share, and you mock people of faith. Never mind that you've woefully mischaracterized me and my beliefs and opinions, right down to being unaware of what I've posted about the pandemic. You just make stuff up to fit your pre-packaged judgments, and your comments are deeply and personally offensive. I don't deserve to be talked to this way.

Horsebleep. I've never seen so many hateful christians as I have on here.


Do I really need to explain to you that many of those who oppose abortion do so because they believe that this is morally wrong? Are you surprised that those who oppose the killing of innocent human life wish to restrict elective abortion?

And yet those same people are more than happy to send our troops to other countries where civilians get killed in the ruckus. But that's ok right?

I know because not only do I read it on here every day. I actually worked for the catholic church for a few years. What a bunch of hypocrites.

And you’re contradicting yourself here—you do indeed mind very much those who are “actually leading the life” and putting their faith into practice by opposing elective abortion on demand.

Again the fetus thing but no mention of all of the deaths from warfare. Or for that matter legal execution by the state.

You know and I know there are many on the right who revel in the use of force against the demonstrators.

I'm not getting down in the weeds with you on abortion and will say only that I used the term "innocent life," which is not a synonym for "criminals sentenced to legal execution."

I can't speak for anybody else, but I don't revel in any use of force. When I watched that cowardly lecturer during the Berkeley protests come up behind a man and bop him on the head with a bicycle lock, I certainly did wish that a cop had been right there to grab his arm, wrestle him to the ground if need be, and arrest his cowardly, chicken**** butt. People have the right to peacefully assemble. Menacing others isn't peaceful protest.

And now you are grouping all protesters together so please don't lecture me about that particular thing in the future. Thank you.

Is that supposed to mean anything? Did the mass killings in El Paso by the man that was following Trump's credo change your mind about Trump? What are the Democrats supposed to do is some people use fear and intimidation to push their agenda? Did Trump do anything to prevent other Trump followers from mass killing people? El Paso killer was just one of many that was pushing Trump agenda.

Instilling fear is something the left have done for decades.

Deflecting? No, I am using common sense and you are not.

You cannot criticize one side and not the other doing the same. In addition, all of this is happening in Trump's administration. Isn't he the one that PROMISED to take care of things like this? I mean, the Democrats are not in charge. There is very little that the Democrats can do officially to stop this type of thing. You think that Trump is being competent at his job as president in protecting the citizens of the United States? He is the one that can pass legislation, do executive orders, and make sure the laws are followed..............not the Democrats. How come you throw no blame on him?

In addition, what can the Democrats do to stop the rioting and looting? Can they legislate anything? Can they give any orders to anyone?

If you are not willing to face the facts, you have no business opening your mouth.

 

[Luckyone]

Not Obama. He instilled inspiration and pushed for unity. He is the one that said, we need to bring out the better angels in each of us and work together. Trump is saying, the Democrats are the enemy and we must get rid of them.

No, you are 100% wrong. Trump is instilling fear in everyone about everything other than in trusting him and even there he is failing miserably as he has been unable to get anything done to make the United States a safer and better place.

Actually this is the exact point I was making to you. Your OP criticizes one side.

Not Obama? The left in general have been demonizing the right for decades, accusing them of being deplorables, bigots, and every other ist while saying that Republicans fight a war against women, seniors, the poor, minorities, immigrants, and cute little puppy dogs. It's been decades the left have been saying Republicans would take their social security away and take their health care away, even though we continue having social security and we even had healthcare before Obama.

 

[Luckyone]

Actually this is the exact point I was making to you. Your OP criticizes one side.

Yeah, the side that is IN CHARGE and can make things happen. If the Democrats were in charge, I would be criticizing them.

This is all about making the change for better in November.

Hey, you voted for Trump and for a person that calls it how it is, and not political evading. Calling the Republicans deplorable was only when Trump was running for office and it was done by one person (Hillary). Show me one other Democrat in the past (before Trump showed up) that called the Republicans deplorable, bigots or any other ist?

and by the way, it is the truth. Anyone that supports an immoral, unethical, unprincipled and inhumane person is deplorable. What would you call someone that has no morals, ethics, principles or humanity? A good person?

Sorry to disappoint you but I didn't vote for Trump. But, just to spite the left, I might very well vote for him this time around. I would love to see you in tears again.

 

[eman623]

The party of OrangeManBad is calling the other side fearmongers?! I think my head just exploded.

I've been told for the last four years that Trump is an authoritarian dictator wannabe who will destroy the country. That Trump stole the last election by colluding with Russia and he will steal this one if given half a chance. That he was so bad that impeachment and removal from office was warranted.

 

[Luckyone]

Sorry to disappoint you but unlike you, I don't live in a fantasy world. I cannot see Trump get elected even if you get up and vote. Nonetheless, if he does get reelected it would be no surprise to me. I have always known that few people ever use their minds when deciding important things. It is all about fame, charisma, good looks that gets elected. That is the norm and not the exception.

It is like your bald-faced lie about saying perhaps you will vote for Trump to spite me. Is that the intelligent thing to do, vote because of spite?

You continue to prove my points.
