Trump Telling Republican Voters to not Vote is Staggering
Trump is contemplating an election which he and only he decides who wins. It has always been apparent he would sacrifice his country for is own purposes. Is he ready to bring down his Party?
Trump said this past week the Republican Party has not gone the last mile to change the outcome of the election he lost. Because of the, he said, his supporters should not vote for Republicans in the next.
Often things he says are seemingly for his own amusement. Possibly that is the case here. Or, it could be he means it. Certainly enough time has passed since he was defeated to come to terms and realize he lost the electoral college as well as the popular vote and for Republicans like VP Pence to participate in appointing electoral college members who would vote contrary to their the public in their states would result in a travesty. If he has not come to terms with that why is it a given he will not toss the 2022 election to Democrats by telling his Republican fans to stay home?
Giving the 2022 election to Democrats may fit his reasoning perfectly. He would he saying to himself and others, "Look, you did not do what I told you to do in the 2020 election. My election was taken from me because of you Republicans. Now I'm going to take an election, 2022, from you. You will learn not to cross me again."
I don't have to tell readers losing Congressional elections, as well as Presidential ones, tips the balance of the Supreme Court. What a delicious turn of events it would be if Trump and his supporters tipped the court in exactly the opposite direction from what conservative anti abortion operatives bragged they could achieve by voting for Trump.
Political theater is never better than when Trump is throwing groups that support him under the bus. He has done it several times. No one knows if he will do it in the 2022. Loyalty is not his strong suit.
Trump brings a somewhat unique brand of "cancel culture" to the table, doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteBryan K re "cancel culture"
ReplyDeleteToday Marjorie Green is panic prone because a poll shows 4% of Trump voters will not vote. They say they will not vote because Trump tells them their votes last time were not counted. Trump has talked himself into a corner. Delightful.

ReplyDeleteI see "his pro-Christian proclivities" as nothing more than a smoke screen to pump up his unsuspecting base.
DeleteUnbelievably scary. Unpredictable and unstructured. I would like to see the personality diagnosis by a team of psychiatrists. Like throat specialists on a giraffe. Those who made the diagnosis public may be in danger.
ReplyDeleteThe old saying; "Let a man speak long enough, he may even prove to himself to be a fool", may not apply to him. He would never see or admit it. So delusional. I can think of only one who may be similar. He wrote a book; " Mein Kampf," I have read it, and I see similarities. No one dared to disagree with him, and if they did, they suffered or died. Another term would be a disaster for the country.
Another thing to consider; If re-elected, the gloves would come off, as he would not have to be concerned about re-election. He would feel free to do as he wished. I would be equally concerned about his running mate. His former vice pres. was only a placation for those concerned, and a bait for his base.
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, Trump has already proven that he can be more dangerous if he loses.
DeleteThat said, the damage is already done. He has discredited the media, he has discredited the electoral process, and he is cancelling everyone who doesn't pledge loyalty.
That's not even counting the financial peril this country is in.
Four years isn't enough to fix all of this.
tsm; It's called discernment.

ReplyDeleteI think you've done a very good job of showing a misconception of your debate opponent's point of view.
DeleteBecause, if you really want me to be honest, I would be surprised if Trump was anything but an atheist. I don't think Trump acknowledges the existence of any power higher than himself.
Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to read tsm's 7;30. Would that he/ she could man up, and stand up to what was posted, and not remove said post, and make it dissipate like a fart in a dark alley.
DeleteThis has been a habit of deleting in the past. If it's worth saying, it's worth remaining.
Bryan K @ 1;23; re. Trump; "By their fruits you shall know them". Intolerant, dismissive, argumentative, divisive, vindictive, manipulative, dishonest, bullying, braggart, immoral, opportunistic. All signs of a spoiled brat, and a few clinical definitions.
DeleteThe results are evident. Objective discernment is needed.
helper: sorry about the deletions. I will try to leave my comments "simmer" a bit longer in the future. but I will continue to delete (for personal reasons that are of no business of yours). BTW don't you think that your Trump comments are a tad over the top? as to an earlier remark in which you said that Trump was probably an atheist at heart, I wrote a reply pointing out that that charge could well be laid at the feet of many, many politicos today. it was clearly addressed to you but old Jon, nevertheless, censored it.
ReplyDeletetsm;
Deletere. 'comments a tad over the top?" Not at all. I could add a few more, but time won't permit, other than to say I have known spoiled brats that act the same way, and then there are some on "America's Most Wanted" TV show. (Not desired).
re. "Trump was probably an atheist at heart". No< I did not say that. That was another feller.
re. "many politicos atheist at heart" , among many others claiming to be Christian. Check the link on Jon's most current post. Check their fruits.
tsm; After thinking about your; "..a reply pointing out that that charge could well be laid at the feet of many, many politicos today". Do you consider that to be an excuse for all the above bad behavior? Is it then OK to hire porn stars because others are doing it? If "many, many" people kill with impunity , is it then OK?
DeleteHelper: Yeah, I was the one who said that I thought Trump was most likely an atheist. I don't think TSM was trying to make an excuse with his comment at all. He was merely pointing out how, if Trump was an atheist, it wouldn't be that unusual in the political world.
DeleteI happen to agree with him.
Brian; The temptation applies to all. Atheist or not. No one is exempt. Example; The self professed Christians as seen on TV. such as Baker ,Popoff, Hinn, White, the farting preacher, the piano player and son, et al.
Delete"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God". I read that somewhere.

ReplyDeletetsm; re. know a bit about human nature; see my 2;12.
DeleteWe should expect better from the "politicos", and clergy. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. The structures around them should restrain them, but not always.
Ego and greed are the greatest hazard. That is just a part of human nature.
By the former Pres's words and actions, I believe he leans more strongly to atheism , or at least agnosticism, but uses Christianity for his base. A practice used by Adolph , but who am I to judge?
I don't think I got it wrong. Macro vs micro, the same for both.
