The Dunning - Kruger effect ( google it)......that's the whole problem that enabled something like trump to be, and of course, fueled by the radical right wing wackadoodle social media sites.
The 'trump' brand seems to be coming more toxic, day by day ....other than among the blind sheep.

Social media certainly does not help. Look at tigercpa posting whatever pops up on host twitter feed as facts. It is not surprising that conservatives who believe the earth is 6,000 years old and believe a baby was born from a virgin are also not good at fact checking in other areas of their life either. Easily duped. The sad thing is that they vote republican because of these principles, despite Trump literally being the furthest thing from a Christian imaginable. Obama was the devil, though he goes to church and is still with his wife raising his kids, while Trump cheated on his pregnant wife with a porn star and paid to cover it up, and he is a good Christian man. I don’t get how people can either be so stupid or intellectually dishonest. Thank god these demographics are dying off.

The evangelical strong support for an individual that has broken at least 8 of the ten rules ( God's commandments ) is, indeed, a head scratcher.

You have people who don’t like black lives matter because of some language about family structure, but vote for Trump despite him cheating on his pregnant wife and paying to cover it up. Fascinating but depressing, and absolute head scratcher as you say. These people have no logic nor intelligence in this area, they have been programmed to believe certain things without evidence. The politicians take full advantage. When one is proven to be hypocritical, they either ignore it or move on to the next one.

I don’t chime in on politics because I personally think it’s a waste of time - no ones going to change anyone’s mind on this topic so why bother? Having said this, this thread reminds me of the old Simon and Garfunkel song, The Boxer - specifically, ‘still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....’

One of the domestic terrorists at the Capitol thinks she deserves a pardon, because she was just doing what the president ordered.
I’m with doc, in the last years I haven’t bothered with politics. But these recent events, with domestic terrorists trying to stop our democracy, motivated by rhetoric from our president... this is unprecedented. Also, I don’t think it is political to denounce domestic terrorists and their supporters.
The fact that idiots still support this guy, and aren’t completely ashamed of their vote for him is mind boggling.
But give it two years and people will still vote for these domestic terrorism inciting politicians either because they don’t care, aren’t smart enough, or secretly agree.

A company refuses to bake a cake.... conservative outrage that they should be able to refuse service.
Company refuses to publish domestic terrorist inciting misinformation... conservative outrage that companies shouldn’t be able to refuse service.

Can someone explain this video?
Can someone tell me the exact language that Trump used to get impeached a second time?
Can someone delete this thread?

He didn't. Don't give in to the left's language. Violence is bad. Trespassing is bad. But the idea that this was some kind of coordinated terrorist coup is laughably stupid. They told us this was equivalent to 9/11 & ISIS. We desperately need context that has not been offered by the propagandists in the media and politics. People keep using the word insurrection to describe the Capitol Hill melee, which was a group of angry crackpots LARPing in the building. They didn't even have real weapons. It was nothing the media claims it was. Insurrection label is deliberate. They want to criminalize wrongthink. And now that the FBI has said this "attack" was pre-planned, and not a result of Trump's speech, where does that leave us? AJ, Look at what they're trying to accomplish in response to what they're labeling a "violent coup attempt." It's deliberate. There was no coup attempt. No insurrection. Nothing of the sort. It's all weaponized rhetoric to steal our rights & punish dissent.

FBI intelligence bulletins warning of a massive, unprecedented armed “pro-Trump” uprising in all 50 states never materialized. The big day of promised chaos went w/out incident. National Guard was ready. LEOs were ready. The media was ready. Problem was no one showed up.

It's all weaponized rhetoric to steal our rights & punish dissent. I well aware of what is going on. Seems like AuFan is trying in cancel culture on anyone who voted for Trump or supported Trump. Based on his expert knowledge I am an idiot.
Was there Fraud in the election? Just look at the video I provided and the hundreds of Affidavits the supported the illegal activity. What about PA illegally changing voter laws weeks before the election. What about Detroit not allowing Republicans to observe. The fact that courts chose not to hear the case does not mean it doesn't happen. The problem is people like Aufan is either does not want to know the facts so he choses only liberal media sources to get his info or he is either to lazy or incapable of searching for the truth.
Trump was impeached for the following "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." While Kamala Harris regarding the summer riots
'They are not going to stop. This is a movement I am telling you they are not going tho stop. Everyone beware. They are not going to stop on election day in november and they are not going to stop on election day. They are not going to let up. And they should not let up. We should not let up.
I am for them charging everyone who committed a crime at the Capital. But keep in mind that was a riot that last one day. There were many months of riots this summer which were far worse than what happened at the Capital. People were murdered. Buildings were burnt down. Blocks within cities were taken over and Kamala was supporting it. Seems to be a double standard.
