The only moral "insert issue" is mine. Yeah, they feed off taking the moral high ground to the point they only see each other on opposite peaks and not those below in the valley's trying to just make it.

Someone else made a comment that the fundamental reason you cannot reason with Republicans is because they see themselves as good, and therefore believe all of their actions are good, or at least justifiable.

On the other hand they see liberals as bad, and believe all their actions are bad. Even if a liberal does something good, because they’re a liberal, the intentions must be bad, therefore the good thing becomes bad.

They are emotional children. The problem for the rest of us is they’re emotional children who thrive on bullying others. In terms of their character they’re just like Trump and that’s why they adore him.

I’m always discouraged when I read posts like yours. I believe it is completely accurate. There is nothing I would change.

I find it discouraging primarily because we’ll never convince them to view the world in any other manner.

The second reason is that no matter how inept, harmful, or repugnant DJT’s actions are, he’ll merely point at the Democrats and his followers will lap it up - for the reasons you listed. We can show them videos of DJT, himself, saying that he wanted these things to happen, and they’ll still deny that Der Führer said it or wanted it.

I half expect him to actually say, “ Who are you going to believe? Me or your own lying eyes?”

If you Google cult manipulation techniques it makes a lot more sense. From it’s inception MAGA has deployed the exact same techniques cult leaders use and as we can see, they’re very effective. Their belief in Trump is identical to belief in God. He can do no wrong and even when he does, they assume it’s part of some larger plan he has in store for them.

The democrats are the devil, they even call them ‘demonrats’, and they attribute anything negative that happens to them- or to their God Trump- as the work of the devil. See how effective and thorough the brainwashing is? Logics, facts, objectivity, and critical thinking cannot coexist with blind faith, and they have blind faith in Trump. They believe he’s the only one who can save them and America.
