MAGA is a pure FEELING MOVEMENT.
Trump’s Rallies are reminiscent of the Nuremberg Rallies in the 1930s.

It is all emotion.
THAT is what he appeals to.

Is THIS what got your dander up? "Yes, it was. Abysmally ignorant of you, too. I would suggest reading and researching the Constitution." As a reply to your "silly of me" remark.
NotMAGA, the Constitution is the law of the land, and controlling a rogue President is well covered. What was missed in the original has been or will be corrected in the form of amendments.
I apologize if I went a bit too far, and you took it personally. That is never my intent. My target is always the STATEMENT, not the speaker......though my aim is not always perfect.
If it was something else that set you off, please tell me what. By Private Messenger, if you prefer.

RandyBrian Loc: Texas

Nonsense. If you want to make a comparison to past rallies, Look to RF Kennedy.
Enthusiasm for Trump is not the same as pure emotion. Most people, like me, follow him for his policies. Nor do we agree with everything he does and MOST CERTAINLY NOT everything he SAYS.

Then you believe “Everything is Permitted” no matter how foul.

Why do you so persistently LIE? This is what he said - “ Nor do we agree with everything he does and MOST CERTAINLY NOT everything he SAYS”

Stop playing games.

RandyBrian Loc: Texas

Come on TJ. I did not say that. There are lines Trump has crossed that he should not have. But then so has Biden. Much MUCH farther over the lines.
So we are down to who is better, or if you prefer, who is worse. I'll take Trump over Biden any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

See, you're so fixated on what other people are getting that you don't see the advantages. Because those students can now continue their studies and t***sfer into the workforce, they will pay taxes too. Not just that but they will also become valuable assets to our society such as the doctor that will fix your heart so you can GET to your retirement.

It's one the saddest things to me about how our culture has become so self-centered. All that individualism taken to an extreme. To the point of social dysfunction. We are naturally social animals... We're at our best in teams. But we have an elite ruling class that fosters the idea that collectivism is evil. It makes it more difficult to unite in matters of construction. Instead, we all turn on each other for stupid reasons and remain hopelessly divided... and conquered.

JFK tried to bring this up when he said... Ask not what the country can do for you but what you can do for this country. It's an appeal to the collective power of a democracy. Not just v****g for someone else to v**e for you but pitching in. After all, when you do retire and are no longer contributing to the fund, it will be that student who is. That student will effectively be supporting you.

straightUp Loc: California

Absolutely! Emotions like h**e and p***e have always been motivating tools for f*****t campaigning.

One very pronounced characteristic is how Trump continued with his rallies even after the e******n season ended. At the same time he was ditching more traditional channels with the public. As a result, his presence was to a large extent, reserved only for his loyal followers. This is of course premised on the idea that only loyalists would pay for tickets to get into the rallies.

The rest of America got a cold shoulder.

First of all, your "abysmally ignorant" comment was in response to a response I made to xxx, not you. A response which was total sarcasm re the topic of DJs comment about shooting someone on 5th avenue and not losing any supporters. A comment which he certainly DID make, which was excused by all his fan base and FOX news with he "didn't really mean it."

Maybe not, but he really believes it.

He also really believes a President can do no wrong - as long as he is the one in the WH.

Have you read the transcripts of his lawyers comments re his "p**********l immunity" defense?

TJKMO Loc: Bicycle Heaven

That is not a game.
He will support trump no matter how foul and threatening he is.

Rose42

You share many character traits with trump.

Yes you do play games. Now you’re twisting what he said as you often do to people.

straightUp Loc: California

For some, the more foul and threatening he is, the better because it elevates their distain for Biden, or the Left, or whomever. It's like saying I'd rather have the devil himself lead the country!

TJKMO Loc: Bicycle Heaven

I quote him.
That is not “TWISTING”.

The only twisting is done by Trump and his sycophants by claiming SARCASM.

It would appear you are reading from the democRAT play book. Why are democRAT men so afraid of nice looking, intelligent, articulate republ-I-CAN women?

TJKMO Loc: Bicycle Heaven

They are not.
Why would you even say such a thing unless you think lunatics like MTG are attractive or the s**tty Boebert who was kicked out of Theatre for her behavior?

Or maybe it is the pathetic Britt that became a laughingstock by both liberals and conservatives after her bizarre post SOTU Performance.

Fear and Pity are not the same thing.
It is PITY not Fear.
