Even as the convictions pile up many still believe...

I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your TV
Oh, I'm the cult of personality

I exploit you, still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three
Oh, I'm the cult of personality

He speaks to their "truths." He feeds their hopes. He bolsters their fear of a diminishing relevance. He says things they want to hear in a way that they understand.

He's the only one who holds a branch out to them and they clutch on to it like the trumpanzees they are.

It seems that the importance of...ahem, "telling it like it is" cannot be overstated. i.e., racism is an extremely powerful effect.

When you have nothing left but fear and hate…

The racists want an idol to say it's okay to be racist

The problem with democracy is that most people are ignorant ...

edit: changed retarded to ignorant, I apologize to anyone who felt offended by my use of the term.

"You're not the problem, it's those other guys" is a very appealing and hence powerful message that people want to believe (in fact, the worse things are, the more they want to believe it) so it easilly bypasses rationality.

You might have noticed that in America it's not just Trump using it or even just his party.

Well, that is what advertising and propaganda is.

For a conspiracy or a cover up to be real in this day and age it needs to be small, otherwise it just involves too many people to stay secret.

Trump and his “believers” are a different story. They know it’s not real, instead they’ve all silently (and not so silently) agreed to reject reality and substitute in their false god’s reality.

Insecure people want simple lies over complex truth.

Never forget this "man" was convicted of sexual assault & bragged about grabbing women by their genitals.

How sad for them? I think @christophorious is projecting: how sad for the rest of us.

Is that why his face is orange? Is he Bizzaro Trump? Did the Bizzaro universe steal our Trump and replace him with theirs?????

Edit: if he is not Bizzaro Trump can you imagine how decent of a person Bizzaro Trump would be?

Well there are plenty of "journalists" over at fox that are dedicated to deceiving people.

That says a lot about literally every other politician going

Yeah Trump is all that, but so is everyone else. Everyone lies to convince everyone else their share should be bigger.

I mean, every single group mentioned has proven not to be trusted. You think the history books just coincidentally happen to all be written by the good guys? There's that one time the smart people marketed this safe and effective diet pill. FDA approved. Yeah, turns out it killed you. And then, orange guy.

Also, you seem to be the kind of guy that likes to be completely accurate in the ideas you present, so I believe the word you're looking for is "charges". There have been no convictions.

What convictions?

Indictments are not convictions.

Last I checked nothing's been decided yet. Am I wrong?

as bad as trump is obama and biden chained a presidential candidate to chair for eight hours to keep her from debating with them and to make sure it stays only two parties

biden and harris immediately went back on campaign promises and fired staffers who admitted cannabis use

national police reform promises have stalled in his time in office over policing have gotten worse looking at you cop city in georgia

national health is at risk of going in the gutter even further and that was another failed promise

list goes on

but hey vote biden he is not facist or as bad plus he is not trump

What convictions?
