Trump supporters don’t want to admit how Trump has duped them. He is constantly lying and changing his positions on policies but has trained them to accept his lack of conviction and incompetence on the issues.
The power of a cult movement led by a charismatic, dishonest leader is apparent in the blind loyalty shown to Trump by his supporters. They are excited by his anger, violence, white supremacy, and his friendships with enemy dictators who want to destroy American democracy. Those rage-filled, hateful rallies are an embarrassment to our country. They are beneath our values and morals. However, Trump rally attendees can’t resist the red hats, shirts, and the emotional high of a skilled cult leader telling how he will protect them from a deep state that is out to get them. How far will they go in their loyalty and addiction to Trump?”
- Will they sacrifice the Social Security, Medicare, and Medi-cal benefits he wants to reduce?
- Will they risk losing more individual rights pushed by extremists allies like Steve Bannon, Cash Patel, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, and Steven Miller ?
- Will they turn violent and racist against all non- white non-Christian people?
- Will they welcome a government influenced and co- governed by Vladimir Putin?
- Will they support lies over facts to remain in power?
- Will they support a one-party system of government?
- Will they forego their healthcare coverage and support Trump’s plan to end Obamacare.
- Will they vote to humiliate and punish women who seek or obtain an abortion?
- Will they agree not to sue the government or law enforcement if their child dies in a school shooting?
- Will they go to jail, lose their family and careers to defend Trump despite the severity of a crime he might commit?
- YES TO ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS IS NOT A SIGN OF BEING A COMMITTED REPUBLICAN VOTER. A YES ANSWER MEANS YOUR A MEMBER OF A CULT AND YOU SHARE ITS IDEOLOGY.
Former House Rep. Liz Cheney circulated a New York Times article recently that called him “the most important architect of the Electoral College objections” on Jan. 6, 2021, aimed at keeping Trump in office after he lost.” ( NBC online, October 25, 2023). Johnson was hand-picked by Trump to replace Kevin McCarthy because he orchestrated the plan to block the electoral vote certification in Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. Ultimately, The Supreme Court rejected the Texas effort to overturn the election results. It might be enjoyable to see Johnson get booted out of his job by the equally corrupt Marjorie Taylor Green.
