The Cult of Trump

[tbop77]

“The streets have never had a President. They’ve never had someone they could relate to, at least on some level, about a particular struggle or unjust circumstance…



Until last night. Last night, the streets were given a champion. They were given someone who they could see being set up, railroaded, arrested, and humiliated, just the way they have for decades.



Real recognizes real, and last night, the establishment uniparty made what will go down as the biggest mistake in modern history.



They martyred Trump and gave the streets a reason to love him.

Trump can relate to them?  That's a good one.  The brainwashing continues.

Been a long time since we have seen a Conservative Nuthouse article linked, hasn't it?

I have attempted, without luck, to find any biographical info in this Brenden Dilley who uses the term. Can't find any. It is notably missing from his website. Must be a reason for that.

Its Bannon trying to stir shit up again. Trump is no one's champion unless they are rich or from entertainment like him. And usually, they have to pay for the privilege.

Hmm, yeah, nope. 

I think if anything, the ‘street’ people are going to be pleasantly surprised that a rich white guy who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has managed to skate through multiple criminal/bankruptcy proceedings with hardly a scratch is now actually being held accountable. 

Bannon and Palin and the other far right MAGA talking heads are really pushing the ‘civil war’ idea. There were rumors going around MAGA world that the FBI had infiltrated the crowd in Atlanta when Trump turned himself in. They were warning each other not to do anything illegal or risk getting arrested by all the FBI informants. Hopefully any MAGA minions considering taking up arms for their monkey god will similarly have second thoughts.

I know, I have to go ever so often.  See what the MAGA's are thinking.  And the comments after the articles provide some cheap entertainment.

ok, there is no debating it any more.

period.

Thanks for the video DJ, but I am not up to lies this early on Sunday. God did make caretakers, but Trump is not one of them. Trump is a Satan. Caretakers look like Jesus Christ, MLK, Mother Theresa, Biden and yes Nancy Pelosi. I think there have been reasonable people on the GOP side like Ann Richards, but I don't feel like thinking back for earlier in my life to find them. I do give kudos to people like Mitt Romney who have tried to stem the tide ... I just wish there had been more brave people in office in what I am now calling the Grifters On Parade party.

The toughest thing about MAGA is I am certain outside actors from both Russia and China are propping it up with the highest level of governmental authority behind them. That does not include all the bad actors in the US of which Steve Bannon really is Darth Vader or worse. I think only Bannon's glee at destroying the US is keeping him alive at this point much like Trump seems to be energized by the more people he grifts or ruins.

Jesus Christ did not need to stay up in a self-involved haze to help anyone. We now know the Trump show is 24x7. But its just a show. I would be surprised if he did things I would count as work even for 3 hours a day. He just screams and carries on at his minions and they do all the heavy lifting. Heck I can see the advice from Putin or his handlers on addressing things is getting lost in translation. It won't hold up in a court of law I don't think, but the man recently admitted he did watch women pee on a bed Obama slept in and you could see the thought of it still energized him. 

We've made it out of the pandemic although Covid is still as transmissible as ever. Those sucked into the fake glitzy Trump show story are still entranced by the shiny and the illusions of a hardworking man. They've been under the spell for at least eight years. Are they as sheeply as those who believe in Putin? Who believed in Mao? Who mostly follow Xi Ping or Kim Jong Un? I want then to be better than that, but I fear they are not.

[djAdvocate]

they aren't. and you know what is funny?

before Trump, i was POSITIVE that this could never happen here. it can ONLY happen in places where the leader controls the flow of information. i reasoned that no leader could EVER control the flow of information in the US. ergo, i reasoned that fascism could NEVER happen here.

little did i know that people would VOLUNTARILY give up their access to good information. little did i know that a hate and death cult would evelop 100M people in the US. i would never believe such a thing had i not witnessed it.

did i have clues? YES. i had clues. when 200M people thought that Iraq had WMD, that was a wakeup call for me. but then we elected Obama. and i thought everything would be OK. he was a smart, funny, charismatic moderate with a good sense of constitutional law and working together for a better future.

Biden is a similar man. but the fact that HE is a smart, funny, charismatic moderate with a deep public service record and respect for the constitution doesn't seem to be working for him. hopefully i am wrong. but my hope has been decimated by Trump. i have to be honest. i have zero faith in the electorate, when i see these MAGA rallies where they laugh about an 80 year old man getting bashed in the head with a hammer. it is like laughing at Nazi propaganda. i just can't do it. it is far too serious, evil and dangerous to blithely ignore.

the stakes keep going up in every election. this one is by far the most serious, UNLESS the threat is removed by the SCOTUS. and again, i doubt that will happen, even though a strict reading of the constitution requires it.

Yeah it really sucks this is true for some people all over our planet including sadly the US. I also knew propaganda worked on too many people as I also was one of those that never believed the WMD propaganda from thE WH. I remember it took seeing a documentary by Roger Moore to wake some people up, which I went to with a friend whose eyes were opened but had chosen to believe if not fully prior to seeing the film.

As a white woman I knew there would be a backlash. I knew the fact that Obama won and Hillary got sidelined yet again meant things I wasn't all that happy about. And it has played out in ways I have expected and ways that have saddened me. On the ways that make me happy, check out the watch company SPBK I think it is. I think it was a response birthed from the riots in Charlotte and made commercial and successful from the Shark Tank or similar. I hope they go far in supporting the schools in the area and making change through their business.

As a white woman I get discriminated against constantly and sometimes it is very in my face by black men. Many black men feel that they are above me on the hierarchy and want white women perhaps to be considered less worthy than black women. IDK. But it suprised me not that yet again a man of any color triumphed over a long serving long studying  white woman. We will break through eventually and Kamala was finally an entry point for women to the top two spots in the US government. I knew the right would be after her like white on rice simply because she existed. And definitely because she did not want to play to the be attractive enough tropes that are huge in the conservative community and still topple good women of any color in our country.

Sad now writing that sentence as the appearance and dress of women are more scrutinized than what they actually do or accomplish. I figure Kamala is doing OK to good simply because the RW media can't seem to come up with anything better than harping on actual border crossings and ignoring every other related thing with US immigration.

if you look at the history of civil rights globally, white men are on the top of the heap.  second on the heap are NOT white women.  it is men of color.  THEN white women, then women of color.  if you need me to support that claim, i absolutely can.  but if you have eyes, you can see it.

i mean everyone when i say "you".

Iowa pastors denounce ‘God Made Trump’ video

A week ahead of the Iowa Republican caucuses, a new video depicting former president Donald Trump as a messianic figure caused a stir among the Iowa evangelical community.

The video, called “God Made Trump,” was shared by the former president on his Truth Social account Friday morning. In the video, a narrator paraphrases the Bible while describing Trump as “a man who cares for the flock” and “a shepherd to mankind who won’t ever leave nor forsake them.”

“I find it absolutely sickening, period,” said Michael Demastus, pastor of the Fort Des Moines Church of Christ. “Trump is not the Messiah.”

The video begins as a parody of Paul Harvey’s famous “So God Made a Farmer” speech, opening with a shot of the earth. A narrator says, “And on June 14, 1946, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, ‘I need a caretaker,’ so God gave us Trump.” A similar video about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis circulated in 2022.

The Trump video includes repeated religious references and quotations from the Bible. A narrator describes Trump as one who “follow(s) the path and remain(s) strong in faith.” He paraphrases Psalm 140 to describe the “fake news media” — with “their tongues as sharp as a serpents” and “the poison of vipers ... on their lips” — and credits Trump with “finish(ing) a hard week’s work by attending church on Sunday.”

trump needs to rearrange that possum fur toupee of his on his head.  It's a bit off center.

He’s not looking good a lot, lately. Hair off kilter. Instead of sporting that regal, I’m-better-than-everyone look he often looks rumpled and harried. He gets his bronzer on unevenly, or doesn’t make an effort to blend it at the edges.

Not surprising since he’s racing around to court cases and rallies, I guess, plus his age and family history of dementia. Wonder if he is regretting not handing the business off to the kids, skipping the whole politics thing and spending his retirement golfing everyday.

[djAdvocate]

he waddles around like an overstuffed bowling pin.
