Trump Has Great Appeal To Bigots/Racists In The South & Elsewhere. It Is Now Way Out In The Open.

[TheMastersNemesis]

A lot of Americans want someone like Trump because they believe America should only be for caucasians. His largest appeal will be in the South where they are still fighting the Civil War. Many southerners in particular are still ok with slavery and believe it should still be around today. The rhetorical din of racist is growing. Trump is tapping into the growing revolt over "political correctness" as well. These ugly Americans want to be able to openly use the pejorative terms for Blacks, Hispanics, Jews, Arabs, etc again without restraint or criticism.

And many white racists and bigots want payback for Obama being in the White House. He was never accepted and a large part of the population is bitter that he was NOT impeached or driven out of office. Forget the fact that so many of these people are on federal or state programs that benefit them. They are angry and willing to vote for politicians who would take that assistance away they are so blinded by hatred and bitterness.

The truth is that many whites don't want their tax dollars going to minorities, "takers", contraception, abortion et al. And they are influenced by the GOP meme that federal programs go only for browns and blacks. Listen careful to GOPPERS and the meme is carefully disguised in their language.

Trump plays directly and bluntly into that meme. The rest of the field will have to follow suit to get any attention.

1. Of course. They can try and mask it but it seems pretty much

understood at this point. And not only the south but it seems to be a rural vs urban sort of phenomena.

2. Pent Up Racism/Bigotry Is Exploding Onto The Political & Public Scene.

The race baiting, dog whistling, innuendo, and outright hatred that has been fostered and festered by hate radio for the last 8 against Obama is now boiling over into the public arena like never before. Those Americans who embrace a "white supremacist" attitude are now tired of being silent or parsing their language over race and even bigotry.

Being tired of poetical correctness over race even LGBT issues this crowd is ready to openly speak. Urged on by the fundamentalist churches, RW media and other elements they want to make this race about their anger over political correctness.

It is a statement that there are elements in society now that embrace segregation and apartheid and even slavery of sorts. In a way race is now a campaign issue. And all the anger and vitriol the GOP toward Obama, the poor, the disabled, Blacks, Hispanics, LGBT and "takers" in general is erupting. We have elements in society that are saying they will never accept where the US is going on the diversity front. In their mind we are a white Christian nation. They are determined to keep it that way.

That is why Trump will be around for a while. He may actually succeed.

3. Lots of white faces in that crowd.

4. For Trump, playing up to nationalism and bigotry was like offering free money to suckers.

For a man who was already a national figure (oy!), a sure gambit to gather an immediate nationwide following.

I'm among those who has no idea what he really thinks, especially in the middle of the night. Psychologists say narcissists often dislike, even occasionally loathe, themselves, but my guess is right now he's mostly just extremely pleased with himself and the enormous attention a few almost-cost-free statements have generated.

5. For What It's Worth Trumps Handwriting Is True To His Nature.

I practiced as a master handwriting analyst a number of years ago and saw Trumps handwriting. Its mid zone is very jagged. His writing looks like saw teeth or sharks teeth. There are a lot of sharp angles and there is a lot of anger in the writing. The way he rips at people who cross him or criticize him is actually true to what his handwriting reveals.

He is a merciless negotiator. He will always go for the kill. And he is obsessed with winning. He reminds me of the "chainsaw' character in horror movies. His GOP opponents are in for a real ride.

[leftofcool]

6. I find this interesting.

As an expert in your field, would you say that sharp angles and sharks teeth are in indication that there is anger in the handwriting of anyone who writes that way or does personality type also play into it. I think what I am asking is this: If someone who has a more gentle personality and might be a pacifist appears to write with anger would that indicate the person is a merciless negotiator or could it indicate that there is a dark side to the person's personality not yet seen in other ways? The whole subject is fascinating to me.

15. Handwriting Is Complex And Has To Be Evaluated In A Certain Way.

When looking at handwriting I was trained to evaluate it in a certain way. Anger shows up in many ways A handwriting that is NOT angular can show anger and resentment. Gentle looking writing can have anger in it. What is most interesting is that anger can be in the pattern of the writing. I has what is called a twill like a fabric and is in the rhythm of the line and form. And it takes a long time to learn how to recognize it.

We look at what are called trait arrays. There are combinations of traits that can show anger. Trump's writing as I remember it showed a lot of aggression along with the angularity. He is more calculated and it not really crazy. He is also quick witted in a way. He is able to make sharp and quick analysis of a situation. And I bet he will be a better debater than one thinks.

He can be impulsive but really is more controlled than is obvious. His writing is heavy so he never forgets and he will come back on you suddenly. That is why most of his opponents do not know what to do. Trump is really pretty much always ahead of his adversaries.

For some reason I really remember that writing and I saw it years ago. There are some writings that stick with you in your head. Now I was trained at the Master level through IGAS. I do not actively practice or analyze handwriting at this point. But I still remember a lot even though I am rusty with the finer details of the craft.

Handwriting analysis does work even though it is considered a pseudo science by many. Even though my radar is not actively on I do get an instant impression of the personality when I see a writing. It is something that you can never really turn off once you know the rules.

7. Last night he was screaming for elections now

The media is responsible for this madness - anything for profit.

8. Hate, Fear, Lies it is what Republicans, Conservatives and Corporatists run on and hope to get

elected with.

Republicans, Conservatives and Corporatists count on the typical American's ignorance of history and government along with a heaping dose of racism to get elected and sadly it works, Reagan proved that one can easily be elected running on Hate, Fear and Lies.

Every time a Republican, Conservative or Corporatist opens their mouth what ever they say can be filed under Hate, Fear or Lies and some times they hit the trifecta with one statement.

[PJMcK]

13. Agreed

It must be exhausting to be a Republican. The constant fear must use so much nonproductive energy. The lies and non-factual ideas they have require the construction of an alternate reality; if they accepted and lived in the real world, they wouldn't have to waste that energy. Hatred is a powerful negative energy requiring extraordinary effort. And their hatred is hard to follow since they hate so many different groups of people.

Your last paragraph is a home run!

9. This statement is untrue.

"Many southerners in particular are still ok with slavery and believe it should still be around today."

Hogwash.

[ladjf]

10. I believe that you are correct. Further, had the Civil War not occurred,

slavery would have died out very soon for a variety of reasons. Aside from the moral aspects, slavery would have become
economically unfeasible due to the advent of mechanized farming equipment.

In the late 1850's the Republicans may have had to rush the Country into the Civil War before mechanization could end slavery as a viable economic practice.

Always it falls along cultural lines. Ours being refined and logical and theirs being religious and xenophobic.

12. Civil War has never ended • Class War's never ended

Culture Wars, Race Wars – never ended. HateMining, it's just too easy and too damned profitable.

One of my earliest, real, childhood questions was, "How could that most educated and cultured nation of people elect Adolph Hitler?"

Our Wiemar deepens.

It happens like this.

[Art_from_Ark]

14. Germany didn't elect Hitler

Hitler never won an election. In the two times he tried to run for President, he was defeated by Paul von Hindenburg. In the "last free and fair election in Germany" before the Third Reich, that is, November 1932, Hitler's party actually lost seats in the Reichstag, and no one was elected Chancellor. And while the National Socialists won more seats than any other single party, they still only won about 1/3 of the total vote. Hitler did not become Chancellor until he was appointed to the position by von Hindenburg on January 30, 1933.
