The former president now holds his largest lead yet over Florida Governor and 2024 Republican candidate Ron DeSantis in Sunday's new poll.
Former President Donald Trump's supporters say they hold him as a source of true information over their family, friends, and religious leaders, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll out on Sunday.
My father is one of them. Because of his idiotic glorification and idol worship of trump, my family has told him to fuck off. Haven’t talked to him for almost 3 years now. He even believed the big lie
I feel like we need some sort of legal protection for circumstances like this. no objective analysis of these people's behaviour would agree that they're acting rationally, and probably can't even be considered to be in their right minds. should we risk individuals so afflicted being able to determine the direction an entire country takes? do they pass out voting forms at mental institutions?
I really think that many moderates and liberals simply don't understand the grasp that he has over some people. This is how post WW1 Germany became Nazi Germany right before WW2.
We can make fun of it. We can complain about it. But what I rarely see is people studying it and trying to understand both the draw and the origins of this deadly attraction.
As much as we want to simply call these people "stupid" or "clueless" (which many people in this thread have already one) but it is much deeper than that. In fact taking that simplistic approach only makes it that much easier for him to recruit more people. The Left is so quick to minimize the hardships that many Trump supporters have faced in the past which might have pushed then to join his cult. If you constantly push groups away and this cult is openly embracing them and saying they understand their pain, then you can't be surprised when you hear headlines like the one for this story.
Considering that Trump told them that COVID-19 wouldn't kill them and their family said it would, of course they would trust him since it didn't. Those that died of COVID, of course, didn't answer the poll. Survivorship bias!
They'll take it as far as the pollster wants ask. It's not really about what they believe or say, it's about unwavering support and owning the libs. They know they'll never be tested where they have to choose, so it's just a big game to them.
How accurate are polls these days? If you can't call people with cell phones, you're forced to call landlines, and those are owned by septuagenarians and octogenarians who lean hard to the right. It's had an effect on the accuracy of polls, as the recently fired Nate Silver will tell you. His analyses used to be eerily accurate, but then cell phones happened.
In hungary we have similar thing, but for orban
For us there is no way to get out, orban's men are everywhere, even if another party would win with huge majority, they cant do shit, as every department have orban's comrades, and the cant be recalled, or dismissed until their mandate expires (which is 8-9 years
When you deeply immerse yourself in the multifaceted realm of political analysis and personal character judgments, it's intriguing to observe the vast spectrum of perceptions surrounding a figure as polarizing as Donald Trump. Some individuals, after a careful and considered examination of his actions and statements, might arrive at the conclusion that he embodies a form of genius, a distinct capacity to navigate the turbulent waters of political and social arenas. To them, it appears as if his trajectory has been characterized by a series of unerring decisions, each one seemingly infallible in its own right. Now, the nature of human judgment is inherently complex, rooted in a combination of cognitive biases, personal experiences, and cultural influences. So, when one posits that they've never witnessed Trump commit an error or hold an incorrect stance, it speaks to a deeply held conviction, one that transcends mere observational analysis and delves into the realms of personal belief systems and interpretative frameworks. It's crucial to approach such assertions with a balance of critical thought and open-mindedness, recognizing the vast tapestry of perspectives that shape our understanding of political figures and their legacies.
As people become more deeply entrenched in their faction, the country will slowly tear itself apart. And it ought to. The left and the right simply are not compatible, never were and never could be. Forcing them to stay together is toxic. We need a peaceful divorce.
Watch those Trumptard motherfuckers get violent next year over Trump getting convicted and barred from the presidency. Watch it happen. Hell, watch BLM and the left rise up again if Trump is let off easy or dies before conviction.
Watch. Mark my words, next year will be a bloody one.
Yeah? How many people just completely cut off their family and friends simply because they voted for the guy? Seems like lots of people hold their political party info as truth above what their family and friends think. This isn't news.
