    Article from May 2023.


    Is there a tipping point for Trump supporters to stop backing him? Here’s what the science says

    excerpt:

    "He went on to identify an important way in which the remaining dissonance can be reduced: “If more and more people can be persuaded that the system of belief is correct, then clearly it must, after all, be correct.”

    This is an interesting argument which suggests that if someone commits wholeheartedly to Trump, they may well experience dissonance as they watch the news from that Manhattan courthouse. But they don’t necessarily stop supporting him.

    Instead, they might seek yet more information about the “deep state” and how it’s persecuting Trump, or preach more about his positive attributes and the witch hunt against him. Both are sometimes more immediate ways of dealing with the psychological discomfort than changing support for him."

    Walz remark.


    Walz calls Trump a "tyrant" who abuses power and violates rule of law - CBS News

    excerpt:

    Walz pointed to Trump's immigration crackdown, which includes deporting alleged gang members to a notorious prison in El Salvador, questions about lack of due process and the offer of a gifted jet from the Qatari ruling family to the president.

    "This is what the crumbling of rule of law looks like in real time. And it's exactly what the founders of this nation feared: A tyrant, abusing power to persecute scapegoats and enemies," he said.

    Of the more than 200 people that Trump has deported including ones to a prison in El Salvador, it's not known if they had been engaging in criminal activity. Trump did it quickly to elude the justice system.

    Being a member of a gang doesn't make someone guilty.

    Having a tattoo of a gang doesn't make someone guilty.

    A fake tattoo on a photoshopped image of a person doesn't make someone guilty.

    Trump saying that he doesn't think Garcia is a good person doesn't make someone guilty, and it isn't a justification for deportation.

    Trump's been having trouble reading teleprompters ever since.

    Maybe he burned blind spots into his eyes.

    Some of the USAID food was purchased from U.S. farmers who will lose business because of USAID being decimated in addition to the food wasting away. Trump will have to reimburse them with welfare checks funded by U.S. taxpayers like he has before.

    It's all part of Musk's efficiency program.

    Institutions are only as good as the people in them.

    The Constitution is only as good as people willing to abide by it.


    On Jan. 6 many Republicans blamed Trump for the Capitol riot. Now they endorse his presidential bid

    excerpt:

    “If our political leaders do not stand up in defense of democracy, our democracy won’t be defended,” said Levitsky, one of the Harvard professors whose new book is “Tyranny of the Minority.”

    “There’s no country in the world, no country on Earth in history, where the politicians abdicated democracy but the institutions held,” he told The Associated Press. “People have to defend democracy.”

    Trump meme coin dinner likely to include mostly non-Americans based on top $TRUMP holders

    excerpt:

    "An analysis by Bloomberg revealed that 19 of the top 25 wallets are almost certainly owned by individuals operating outside the U.S.

    Justin Sun, who openly shared that he bought $75 million worth of the Trump family's World Liberty Financial token — a digital coin where 75% of proceeds go to Trump-related entities — is believed to be at the top of the $TRUMP meme token leaderboard.

    Sun, who was born in China, is the crypto entrepreneur behind the Tron blockchain and is in talks with the SEC to resolve civil fraud charges.

    A wallet called Sun currently holds more than $18 million worth of $TRUMP, with $4.5 million bought after the dinner contest announcement, according to Bloomberg."

    ---" The republican party has achieved it's ultimate goal. The private business sector will run this country for the benefit of it's leaders and shareholders and government will not interfere in how the profits are made. Laws intending to protect the middle and lower classes are null and void and will not be enforced. Dissent will not be tolerated. Critics will not be heard. The American Experiment of consent of the governed is dead and is replaced by "shut up and do as you're told.."

    From the Asheville Citizen Times. ------that's the plan alright-----that's the plan.:rage::(
