“Nice, Silent” People Help Criminals (and Authoritarians too!)
Looking for a rescuer, a defender, a savior, a perfect world with everyone holding hands lifted to the sky is a common “nice people” theme song. Nice, quiet people make it easy for T-cults to thrive.
Nice, quiet people can be just as dangerous as crude, loud people.When these two extremes unite, the reasonable people with guts and backbone rise from nowhere to fight back in 2022-2024.
The white Christian nationalists and insurrectionists thought Trump was their newly “anointed savior” because the right-wing evangelicals and Catholics really believed he was pro-life. It was true that he was pro-Trump life, but he was used as a tool to overturn Roe vs Wade. Now he takes credit making his cult is happier. They forgave all his crimes because they view them as sins to be forgiven. He is untouchable to them.
Working people drooled over his money, and wealthy people wanted his power. Religious people were misled and thought he cared about unborn babies and morality. They all thought Trump was the sign they had had prayed for to change morality and the laws. They were totally incorrect, blinded by the right-wing echo chambers and greedy Republican politicians who were less than honest.
So, what is the best way to go forward? It’s not worth air time nor oxygen to convert Trump, his enablers, and his lawyers. Forget it!
Spend your oxygen on actively getting people to vote ages 18-120. Become poll workers and monitors. Read the experts, not news people who fail to stop his lies and tell the audience the truth ASAP.
News reporters are in bubbles that prevent them from doing research instead of reading the monitor. It’s sad when veteran reporters aren’t up to the challenge of researched confrontation. It’s a skill that few have ever had to use before Trump’s lies and slander.
The sign the Trump cult is looking for is control of America. The sign the world is looking for is a country which the next president has better moral standards than a reality show host made of hot air.
America deserves an honorable man who promises to concede elections, refuses to lead an insurrection, leaves the office with zero classified documents, and remains respectful of people and institutions. END of story.
Thanks for trying again. So many have given up, and who can blame them? Nothing changes. Trump is still free. He blatantly DEFIED a judge's orders and said the very things he was ORDERED not to say, and he walked out of that courtroom a free man.
If people are going silent now I understand. I do. I don't like it, but when we go for years exposing that man, researching, bringing proof, and watching him get away with everything from fomenting an insurrection to stealing classified documents and refusing to give them up, not to mention his threat to throw his opponents in jail, and he's still walking around, a free man, it pretty much says we're wasting our breath.
Yet the fact that he's still out there means our work isn't done. And here we go again...
