Re: Trump is Toast
Ok Fred Z, lets go back to the OP and what I said:
You do understand that i am referring to Trump himself as a mainstream political candidate. That he as a political entity is toast. I never said 'Trumpism' is toast. I have, in other threads referring to trumpism, or more specifically Trump's ardent followers, often expressed and elaborated on the theme of cult following and associated psychological entrapments of the thought process of cult members. This is i believe a very real aspect of what Trump has exploited among his base and is not a quick fix. They are hooked! Replace the h with an f if you like...... I have genuine feelings of sorrow for their plight. To put it another way, they have been sinned against, abused and used and will probably be thrown on the trash heap by most looking on and jeering in the aftermath.......disgusting!
Now, on to the next clarification. The mass realization and dismay reverberating through a shocked and traumatised body politic.
This is a reference to the voting population of the USA as a whole, not a reference to Trump's followers. For starters Trump never received a majority vote. Secondly if we take those who vote republican, many who saw what unfolded on Jan 6 and "President" Trump's actions at the rally in the morning and response after, many of these republican voters can be included in the group of shocked and traumatized. This is indeed a pivotal moment in US political history, one in which Trump has done terminal damage to his political credibility! It's difficult to believe he had any credibility to begin the day with! But he did and this alone is full testimony to the stupidity of a really large chunk of the American public! However what transpired later in the day is the rather pathetic climax of the Trump trajectory, built upon a foundation of lies manipulation and exploitation. Furthermore Trump is and never was alone in spearheading this trajectory and his accomplices will remain in political office and their sights with be refined and their dim whitts sharpened by the experience they have just gained at the expense of this shocked and traumatised body politic!
Now i think i have made myself clear, although the level of critical thinking of some in the northern hemisphere never ceases to amaze this distant observer.
Can it be said that perhaps you did not perfectly understand what I posted? Perhaps we are more on the same page in opinion than your assumptions allowed you to understand?
I invite your response to my original post which was dipping my toe in the water inviting discussion, and subsequent clarification in the spirit of clear communication.
My reason being the belief that this is a watershed moment in US history, a glimpse at the natural and logical consequence of leadership in the style and person of Trump! Something to be avoided in the future. A sour taste left as an epitaph........
