bustamente Posted March 20, 2020 Report Posted March 20, 2020 Trump is way over his head, people said this would happen if a tragedy happen because of lack of empathy and depth of knowledge, his base wont admit it but down deep inside them they know this to be true The Unknown Poster 1
Tracker Posted March 23, 2020 Report Posted March 23, 2020 Trump's stupidity and hubris will never allow him to admit mistakes or resign. He will try to find a scapegoat and demonize anyone who points out that the emperor has no clothes, and his followers will go right along. rebusrankin and blue_gold_84 1 1

You may be underestimating the confidence the GOP and Trump have in the will of the police and military to enforce any edicts, legal or otherwise, that they see fit to mandate. A survey I saw a couple of years ago stated that about 25% of the US military rank and file and somewhat higher in the officer corps and police were strongly right-wing/fundamentalist in their views. This would probably predispose them to unquestioningly follow orders ("trust and obey, there is no other way"). The Kent State incident proved that most people, especially military and paramilitary will obey illegal orders when stressed. A sociology course I took examined the rise of fascism in post-WW1 Germany and apparently only about 20-25% of the German population were solidly behind Hitler's policies but were aggressive and vocal and the rest of the people went along out of fear and apathy.

Maybe, just maybe, the tide of opinion among the semi-sane right-wingers in the US is starting to turn. The fundamentalists are showing signs of realizing that they are being used by an amoral would-be dictator and now David Frum. Frum, the son of former media person Barbara Frum, has been an unquestioning cheerleader of the Bushes but now is turning on Trump and his cronies.
The Unknown Poster Posted March 23, 2020 Report Posted March 23, 2020 When the polling begins to show trump wirh zero hope, everyone will turn on him looking to make him a scapegoat for a democratic victory. And to get him and his kids to go away and make room for a more traditional candidate on the future. Fox will turn. Trump will crate a new party and network which will compete with fox. It will be fun to watch

The crazy right wing voters aren't loyal to him, they're loyal to the Republicans in power, whoever that may be, and Trump is going to be the most epic scapegoat for them. If only the Democrats hadn't sent their double agent to do these things! The Unknown Poster 1
