The incredible, dangerous gullibility of half of Republicans

[Craig234]

It's absurd, even insane, how you take the most notorious liar in the country, who has lied to the country blatantly for decades, with tens of thousands of lies during his presidency, constantly - his inaugural crowd size, his secret and illegal payments under a phony name to sex partners, to the government on his taxes, about Obama's birth certificate after which for years claiming he had evidence just started refusing to discuss it, and so many more, just says 'the election was stolen' and they fall for it.

Is there any limit to what these people would fall for?

If they went into a bank and were told by a convicted bank robber, "the bank tellers are really bank robbers who took my money, go and demand they give it to you and you hand it to me", would they?

The gullibility is staggering. Who knew that for tens of millions of people, it's as easy to get them to support trying to steal an election, to support a coup, if not civil war, simply by telling them a one sentence lie based on nothing?

Maybe there's an analogy here to the country going to war against Viet Nam over a lie of a fantasy gunboat attack or Iraq over phony WMD's *even after one of the planners of the lie explained how they concocted it to sell the war*, but this is even worse in terms of gullibility. It's just shocking and dangerous. But if the country survives this attack by Republicans in general, trump has secured a place in history worse than Benedict Arnold or Nixon as 'the traitor president'.

It's one thing to have a maniac like trump or Jim Jones or Charles Manson or David Koresh or L. Ron Hubbard. It's another for there to actually be people so gullible as to fall for them. But tens of millions is a historic national danger and shame.

Says the guy who fell for the Collusion hoax, believes the lie that the US is a racist country, believes the lie that there are White Supremacists around every corner, believes the lie that new election laws are 'Jim Crow on steroids.' Address your own gullibility before throwing stones at others.

See, you have to lie about things in order to contribute to this thread. Thats pathetic. I can add more things the gullible left falls for: The gullible left fell for the Chinese lie that the virus began in a market. The gullible left believes the world will end in 12 years because a former bartender says so. The gullible left thinks a man becomes a woman simply by donning a dress

No lies there

So...this is your Wednesday edition of your ongoing "hate Trump" series of threads.

btw, have you given any thought to the millions in damages, the lives and the livelihoods ruined by the Antifa and BLM riots over summer last year?

That's the attack we really need to survive.

well theres nutters everywhere in every party but keeping on topic the fact that at least 30% of the GOP think the election was stolen and that 1/6 was no big deal is very sad . . .


this is why many NORMAL republicans have become independents or totally feel the part has lost its way and are also disappointed those same people

....says every Trump moron who never read the Mueller Report.....still believes that "Collusion" was EVER the issue....wallows, daily, in his own pathetic white-grievance emotions....and, secretly, supports every racist politician who comes down the pike.

That said....Why would you even jump into a brand new thread with that kind of total deflection?

It would have been better to just admit the OP was right, and that the people he was referencing (i.e. you and your ilk) really are the brainwashed cultists that he inferred you to be.

Address your own gullibility before throwing stones at others.

Really stupid comment, Fletch. REALLY, REALLY stupid.

Here's a friendly suggestion for you: Deal with your own short-comings as a brainwashed Trump acolyte, before throwing stones at others.

 

[DataPoint]

What is fun about 50% of GOP gullibility about Trump is that they can control the primaries but guarantee defeat in most of the general elections.

They simply don't have the numbers.

“Wow, straight to the whataboutism. Maybe you shouldnt join a discussion if you cant stick to the topic.”

What you call whataboutism is simply pointing out hypocrisy.

They do have the numbers. They have always had the numbers. It's purely a matter of turnout.

Don't take my word for it. There is another election in 16 months.

 

[ultmd]

What you call whataboutism is simply pointing out hypocrisy.

Nonsense.

In order to "point out hypocrisy", he would need to have FACTS on his side. You can't regurgitate moronic rightwing talking points, and claim the OTHER side is being hypocritical.

That's just silly.

Every single one of his "whataboutisms" was a long-ago discredited lie.

Clearly, the goal was deflection, not "pointing out hypocrisy". Unfortunately, it only worked on others like him who failed to comprehend the stupidity of it (such as yourself).

They do have the numbers. They have always had the numbers. It's purely a matter of turnout. Don't take my word for it. There is another election in 16 months.

You're right, here. The Trumpsters do control 50+% of the GOP, and can easily win any primary.

Unfortunately (for them), they comprise nothing close to a majority of the American public. And they realize that...hence, all of the new state laws aimed at reducing minority and young voter turnout.

The GOP's goal isn't to be the party of most Americans. It's to maintain power in SPITE of being an unpopular party with most Americans.

No, they don't. The last two elections have show that. No, I won't ever take you word for it.

very well put = standing ovation

Now how we as American citizens get the majority of voters to go vote and keep voting this reckless
political group out of office? It's mix of progressive/moderate democrats, moderate republicans and moderate Green Party folks. This group has common ground.

 

[Jay59]

Nonsense. In order to "point out hypocrisy", he would need to have FACTS on his side. You can't regurgitate moronic rightwing talking points, and claim the OTHER side is being hypocritical.

So, you are saying that only your side is allowed to regurgitate moronic talking points.

That's just silly.

Exactly right.

Every single one of his "whataboutisms" was a long-ago discredited lie.

This is where you are supposed to supply facts. Someone recently said they were necessary.

Clearly, the goal was deflection, not "pointing out hypocrisy". Unfortunately, it only worked on others like him who failed to comprehend the stupidity of it (such as yourself).

Now, we have ad hominem attacks with the whataboutism.

You're right, here. The Trumpsters do control 50+% of the GOP, and can easily win any primary.

90%, which is a significant difference.

Unfortunately (for them), they comprise nothing close to a majority of the American public. And they realize that...hence, all of the new state laws aimed at reducing minority and young voter turnout.

So you keep saying. We will see in 2022 and 2024.

The GOP's goal isn't to be the party of most Americans. It's to maintain power in SPITE of being an unpopular party with most Americans.

Surely you can do better than that.

No, they don't. The last two elections have show that. No, I won't ever take you word for it.

Good. I have facts for you to rely upon.

Note the quotation marks in my post.

I am not sure of your point here.

Since there is a quote function, it is the preferred method.

There is no such thing as a moderate Green party voter. Moderate and progressive are almost mutually exclusive as well. In general moderate = Republican.

Good stuff, Craig

With so many absolute MORNS casting ballots in this country, we're clearly in deep trouble...

LOL. Liberals, who practically invented the word collusion and used it a thousand times a day for 3 years now want to pretend it was never about collusion. Why? Because Mueller found none. Rather than you guys admit you were wrong, you just move the goal posts. Its comical. As for the rest of your post, calling out the OP as hypocritical rubbish is the only response it deserved. Dont like it? Tough ****.

Now thats the lie right there.. Every one of my points has been argued by leftists like yourself on this site for years. I sill grant you they are stupid arguments, but thats all your side has. But go ahead, which of them have been 'discredited' and by whom?

 

[Monica33]

95%+ of all people are Gullible - we have a world now drowning in Compliance Gullibles .
Nearly the same for laziness , both physical and mental .
90% of people are not very bright --- IQ less than 120 .

And then many big mouths preach the advantages and even higher moral ground behind Democracy and Equality as aims for achievement .

Talk about Cognitive Dissonance .

Perhaps Bill and the other nut jobs are no so stupid after all in wanting maximum planet population at 500 million .
