Their cult leader has said Putin is good, so Putin is good. And we have always been at war with East Asia.

Many keep asking questions like, "when will Trump supporters finally wake up?"

And many of us keep telling those folks, "Never."

The trumpers want America to be like Russia AS THEY'RE FASCIST AT THEIR CORES.

A place that shits on human rights
kills members of the press
kills LBGT people
forces religion down peoples throats
and all the wealth in the hands of the super wealthy.

The trumpers are enemies of freedom AND THAT IS WHY WE CAN'T REACH THEM. They don't want to be reached as they're playing for the other team.

The rest of the free world needs to realize that a large minority of the American people are fascist fucks.

could do is say the she has a secret clearance and can't talk about what Hillary and Obama did. Yeah, then said she goes she will go to jail if she says anything.

FUCK HER. She makes up shit like all of the other FUCKING teabaggers.

She worked for the department of interior. (or so she says) I'll go to the FBI the next time she pulls that bullshit again.

rifles in limited numbers. No hi cap magazines. Few pistols. Toting restricted.

But, Russia is almost totally white, so GOPers love that.

Psychological warfare. The propaganda is aimed to stroke the deep seeded emotions of fear, hate, etc.

frame of reference. Furthermore, like their savior (tRump), they have no interest in learning more. So he can stand before them, as he has done for several years, tell them the most outrageous lies and they trust him. They are in for a big awakening if they think living under a regime thought up by Putin will be great. Somebody better start explaining things to them in simple terms what is coming if no one lifts a finger to stop it. Most rogues, thugs and dictators have their run and then it is over. Let us hope they catch on to tRump’s scam before we go over a cliff.

how McCarthyism happened in the 50's and why everyone was so crazy about communists. I now get it, you lead a cult of people with propaganda and false information and fear lots of fear.

At first I just thought if we won again things could go back to some sort of normal, but I think Trump opened a Pandoras box and out came all the crazies, and people following out of fear.

I think back to when I was only 18 for a very short time I went to a crazy last days jesus freak church that had me so fearful I did some stupid stuff like missing my friends wedding because we were preparing for the end, really nuts. Luckily my dad came where we were staying I found out later with a shot gun and threatened the leader and I left with him.

Took me weeks of deprogramming, which was mostly a bunch of people over time telling me the truth.

I believe I was open to this because I had a very drama filled child hood with a mom with mental issues and was left on my own and very insecure. Took me a long time to become a strong person.

To me that is the type of person the republicans can use who will follow them no matter what they do because they are not strong enough to stand up to the truth.
