Donald Trump

[SWP's back]

It never ceases to amaze me how thick and stupid Trump supporters are. Even is they could prove he was a kiddy fiddler these thick ****s wouldn't believe or just say its ok they are we don't mind.

Or say it had nothing to do with russia so why does it matter and why did they investigate it.

Imagine thinking somebody is clever or stupid based on the political party thry vote for.

That's mental mate.

It’s also not what he said.

For an intelligent guy you’re pretending to be pretty thick.

Why? There’s not a chance in hell you read that incorrectly. That suggests you’re playing an angle.

That fox news interview is basically Scarface. He's going down shooting up every fucker.

Insert your own jokes. Think this explains why Mueller is yet to offer Cohen an immunity deal and why Cohen’s lawyer is on TV trying to get Mueller’s attention.

Brought down by a dirty pecker. The irony...

You might not be stupid if you support trump, but you're someone who decided to support a racist, sexist, pathologically lying reality TV star who committed several crimes to win office and is now using it mostly for personal gain, whilst shitting all over the environment, US diplomacy and poor people.

So if you've not got the excuse of being an idiot, then you might just be a shitty person.

Dehumanisation of the Other is the first step to fascism.

Suggesting that people are intellectually or morally inferior to you based on a political choice they've made is the literal thin end of the wedge.

Not to go all "this why Trump/Leave won" but this is why Trump and Leave won.

17.4 million people voted for Brexit and 60 odd million voted for Trump. That should have been a wake up call that it's a mainstream opinion by a near majority of the people that they are not being listened to, their concerns are not being addressed and worse than that when they take the action that our society says is their proper expression of will, they get demonized for it.

I said this right after the Leave vote but this was the signal for the left in the UK to stop talking and start actually listening. To their credit, Labour reformed. I don't personally agree that they've gone in the proper direction with that report but they at least tried to address their failings as a political party and understand what the man or woman on the streets wants in 2018 and what issues they're facing.

What they didn't do is call everybody evil or idiots for voting in a way they didn't want them to. Stunningly, that doesnt make people feel listened to and want to vote for you. Political parties don't exist to be served by the people, they exist to serve the people.

Feeling moral superiority over the colour of the tie that you voted for is incredible arrogance.

Trump won precisely because he does and did dehumanise others. Not on the political choice they made but on their ethnicity and colour of their skin.

Brexit and the Leave EU campaign also fished in the same waters.

You clearly put a lot of thought into this, but give me a fucking break man. Donald Trump's entire political strategy is dehumanization of the other. He's a guy with a 30 year track record of being a racist and who won* the election almost exclusively by exploiting the fact that America is becoming a majority minority country and preying on the fears that said minorities are going to take away Good American Jobs and ruin American life (they'll probably rape your daughter also, nudge nudge). His policies since he attained the White House have done absolutely nothing at all for the people who supported him and his administration spends every single day shameless gas lighting away this fact. If you support Trump at this point, you're either an idiot, misinformed, or an asshole. It's difficult to put any other way.

Superb post and one you should also put in the brexit thread.
