I actually had one of those vanishingly rare productive conversations with an ideological opponent the other day about this issue. They were exasperated that even the "Trump sheep" weren't buying his clotshot shilling.
For Trump supporters, the old line still rings true: The media takes Trump literally but not seriously, and his supporters take him seriously but not literally. I have no doubt that Trump loves America, but I do doubt he always surrounds himself with like-minded individuals.
That said, I wouldn't buy a used car from the guy.
If he is content with Trump Clotshots going on the same pile as Trump University and Trump Steaks and a whole host of other failed Trump-branded ventures, then more power to him. It is looking more and more like a catastrophic failure every day, but more power to him.
I was browsing /r/conspiracy/new the other day, and I stumbled on an unhinged rant from a clearly disturbed individual, who was STILL going off about me "worshiping" Trump and how I was a Russian agent yadda yadda. I've been banned from reddit for a year, talk about rent free.
Anyway, one of the most extraordinary examples of cognitive dissonance amplified by the reddit Hive Mind was that I, and the /r/conspiracy mod team, supported Trump.
This propaganda operation had two desired effects: gaslight me and the other mods, and create the illusion that /r/conspiracy was "pro-Trump" when it decidedly wasn't.
These are the same idiots who cited as "proof" the fact that pro-Trump related posts increased after thedonald was banned.
Yes, you impish imbeciles, that's what happens when you ban entire communities. The same mouthbreathers had the same complaint when No New Normal was banned and they flocked to /r/conspiracy.
With respect to Trump, there were times when I felt I was the ONLY one calling him out, when the entirety of the MSM and the front page of reddit supported him (when he illegally bombed innocent civilians).
The "Axo loves Trump" hoax had literally nothing to back it up. Apparently, by not personally banning pro-Trump content (that didn't break our rules), it made me a "bootlicker". Whatever, they're a bunch of faggots, I expect nothing less from such filth.
Fuck Trump, fuck Russia, fuck war and fuck this geopolitical theater.
This is all scripted nonsense and they're expecting us to fall for this divide and conquer bullshit yet again, meanwhile tens of thousands (or more) innocents will continue to be slaughtered in the name of...what?
I have scores of comments and posts like this. I have nothing expressing support for Trump.
And yet they ran with that...goes to show how scripted this bullshit truly is.
I wouldn't even feel the need to mention this if I hadn't kept seeing folks accuse me of supporting Trump.
These "people" have simply lost the ability to think for themselves, if they ever had it to begin with.
Proof of this is in the level of aggression displayed by all cultists.
One of the most constant characteristics of beliefs is their intolerance. The stronger the belief, the greater its intolerance. Men dominated by a certitude cannot tolerate those who do not accept it.
I see your gist, here, but the STRONGEST certainty admits of all manner of disagreement. It just engenders a view askance of whew boy!, or even a certain contempt for the errant ... occassionally, a kinder "let me keep you from killing yourself with that wrongness". It's only fragile indoctrinated-certainty, "wrong but d*mn sure", that permits no interrogation.
Truth bears ALL examination, because it corresponds with reality. Constructions, even congruent ones - all of the various postmodernisms, for instance - bear progressively no examination as they "congrue" less and less. They do not correspond to reality, so critically looking them over undoes them; thus "DON'T LOOK!" (=Science!).

Here's what I ACTUALLY thought of Trump, from 3 years ago:
I have scores of comments and posts like this. I have nothing expressing support for Trump.

great insight!
No, they are infighting, inbred retards. Their internal chaos is now becoming increasingly external.
Trump triple-vaxxed. And he is enamored of his push to early release... In short, OP: you are right -- GEOTUS is part of the problem here.
His followers are not sheep, though, to bah to his whim.
Proof of this is in the level of aggression displayed by all cultists.
The difference is correspondence.

DJT was ALWAYS part of the problem.
And a very glaring one too.
Remember he literally enabled the lockdowns and the Floyd Antifa killer rampages last year. At the exact same time.

Deify good morals and stop praising strangers.
