We all understand MAGA is a cult.

[Duncanpup]

And they want to burn it all down yet they cannot comprehend.
That they live here as well and they will feel the same pain as us.
This morning over coffee i grieve for Ukraine and the death of N.A.T.O.
I fear now more than trumpigs last administration in that we will not have a bloodless transfer of power why because these people will not leave peacefully.

[irisblue]

1. We do. They do not.

[The Grand Illuminist]

27. That's the problem.

We pride ourselves for not being like them to the point that we became way way too prideful.

[TheBlackAdder]

28. Perhaps those losing faith in their religion need to supplant that internal need with another diety, or...

they have so willfully subjugated themselves to their religion, they need to do it to their president too.


I wrote a research paper in one of my college religion courses that dealt with cults and deprogramming.
Nothing had really changed in those forty years in the realm of cult research. Just like human nature.

[OldBaldy1701E]

2. "... because these people will not leave peacefully."

True.

Will the rest of the nation understand this and also understand and implement what it is going to take to remove them?

[Trueblue Texan]

3. I think Putin will kill Trump and maggots will deflate...

...I think that's one of the things Putin is counting on.

[ananda]

11. Why would Putin kill Trump?

I mean, he's destroying the country as planned.

He seems to be a good Russian asset to me,
both he and Musk.

[Texin]

21. Exactly. Why ever would he feel the need to do so? TSF is doing Putin's bidding with an assist from the

guy from South Africa. Or maybe it's the other way around. In any case, TSF is an old man and not in good health. Time and age will get him soon enough.

[Trueblue Texan]

22. Trump is only there to do one job.

When our nation has been destroyed, Putin will put someone in there who will be loyal, obey, and will make him wealthier. Trump has never made anyone but himself wealthier. Trump is a destroyer of wealth and Putin and everyone else knows it. Besides, once it becomes clear to the rest of the world who is clearly in control of the US, Putin will have gained the enormous power he craves. Trump will only be in the way and Putin won't have the patience to baby his little ego. He will be done.

[Irish_Dem]

14. No. Trump is the single most valuable weapon Putin possesses.

Trump is destroying the USA and Putin does not have to fire a shot.

[Trueblue Texan]

23. You are right, he is destroying the US, but his work is almost done. nt

[Irish_Dem]

25. No, there is a lot more work to do to further Putin's agenda.

Trump is just getting started.

[Girard442]

4. One of the wellsprings of this kind of thinking is the doctrine of Hell.

I mean, if God thinks people who don't think and feel just the right way deserve to suffer agony forever, who are we to argue?

[Crowman2009]

5. I prefer to treat them like lepers.

Everytime I see a MAGA hat, I keep waiting for them to say: UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN!

I also prefer to avoid them because I would snap on them like that one BBC reporter did to those Scientologists, even if they are my relatives.

[Meowmee]

6. Apparently some of them don't want to burn it all down

They are getting angry at town halls... the question is how many and what effect will it have.

[Duncanpup]

7. I've seen GOP is refusing to do town hall meetings.

Perhaps there is hope.

[Magoo48]

12. Perhaps the local democrat should take their place.

Just a thought.

[Duncanpup]

13. Great idea.

[BrianTheEVGuy]

20. They'll need to be frank and tough

“You have to decide you love America more than you hate Black people, LGBT people, and immigrants.”

[Trueblue Texan]

24. That's true! But it's too late! They shouldn't have trusted Trump. nt

[Meowmee]

29. Maybe not if enough get angry enough, it can affect midterms etc.

[mucifer]

30. How many at the town halls are republicans and how many are red state democrats?

[Meowmee]

31. At one they were mostly R I think according to my brother- where people were fired etc.

I have forgotten which one now. How many D are in those red states in towns such as those pictured in these videos? I'm not familiar with where they were/are or the statistics. Some R were trying to claim that planted agitators were the ones complaining. That doesn't sound likely. If people were fired by eloon and his chainsaw etc. they are going to be angry and show up.

In my area, some people who have been fired have been interviewed on local news- they aren't happy. This is a half R county maybe 50/40 in a blue state. In the next county one D rep and someone else were interviewed saying they were going to meet with constituents to "explain to people what this meant for them." They were fired arbitrarily. They need to discuss what they are going to be doing to stop all of this etc. No sign of that here yet. One was a D rep.

[Lonestarblue]

8. I agree with you. Few, if any, of them have a clue what burning it all down even means.

After Trump cancels the presidential election in 2028, there could well be bloodshed. And if he allows it to go forward, then it is likely to be rigged, as I believe it was in some states in 2024. I don’t know what we’ll have left by 2024, but Trump is destroying things both here and globally. The US may jot have one ally left by then. Putin and Xi certainly will still be our enemies no matter how much Trump sucks up to Putin.

[Irish_Dem]

15. MAGAs thinking burning it all down only means for liberals, women, POC, LGBT, etc.

They will be spared.

[orangecrush]

17. In a sense they're right

Just like Russia, as long as you don't make noise everything will run smoothly for you.

Social Security payments will be on time, any government business you need to do will be normal.

They will fuck the rest of us seven ways from Sunday, to show what happens to those who fight them.

They can do this easily now that they have hacked into the systems.

[Joinfortmill]

9. Dangerous times.

[Butterflylady]

10. I agree, however

I think F47 will not be around to see it. His health will do him in. F47 will be isolated from the rest of the world.

[BonnieJW]

19. From your lips...

[orangecrush]

16. They have installed an autocracy.

Autocrats never let go of power.

[wiggs]

18. transfer of power already happened. To one person and away from the people. nt

[liberal N proud]

26. They actually look to Russia with admiration

They like the thought of authoritarian strong man mainly because they have been convinced that progressiveness is bad. They think everyone should be told what they are and what they are going to do.

These are people who are afraid to express themselves and move on from where they are.
