Trump Cult Members Are Facing a Dilemma

Trump’s Cult members across America are facing a major dilemma. For the past 5 months, Trump told them they should not wear masks and gave them several bogus reasons.  As a result, many of his cult members became vehement opponents of mask rules, some of them even became violent. Dr. Fauci received numerous death threats on himself, his wife, and his daughters. Large numbers of his supporters turned this from a safety to a constitutional issue. At Trump’s rallies, they were NOT wearing masks.

But now, their Supreme Leader has reversed himself and directed his base to start wearing masks.  Here’s their dilemma.

  • Will his cult members say you were wrong the past 5 months and criticize their Supreme Leader? Not likely, is it? I’m LOL.
  • Will they disobey their Supreme Leader and say I took a firm position against masks, claiming it’s a constitutional issue, and I’m not changing?
  • Or, will his loyal cult members obediently reverse their position on masks and become strong supporters of mask regulations and laws?

This is priceless for the millions of Trump Cult members who are in total denial. What will they do?

Trump and the Covid-19 Pandemic

Donald Trump had an opportunity to do what normal American presidents do in a national crisis, and that is, bring the country together. The President is in a unique position where he/she can rally our people, get us unified so we can fight a battle against our enemy as one nation. That’s exactly what happened against the Nazis and Japanese in WW II. But true to form, Trump made the Corona Virus a political issue with him at the center. Are you surprised? In his small mind, Trump thought he could handle the crisis by making a series of unsubstantiated claims. In other words, ignore science in an attempt to make himself look good and pretend he had everything under control. But there was just one big problem, the virus wasn’t listening to him.

Remember when Trump made the following brilliant comment?

  • The virus is a Democratic Hoax
  • The virus is under “Tremendous Control”
  • Everything will return to normal by Easter Sunday
  • Drink bleach as a preventive measure for Covid-19
  • If you get the virus, take hydroxychloroquine.

If the above wasn’t bad enough, Trump compounded the problem by turning Covid-19 into a political issue, as opposed to a national health crisis. Trump, and then his political ally, Fox, manipulated the issue of social distancing and wearing masks. Instead of perceiving them as common-sense techniques to slow down the spread of the deadly virus, Trump and his allies turned them into phony constitutional issues. That’s right, the government has no right to make you wear a mask during pandemic or to prevent large groups of people from getting together.  As a result, millions of Americans who reside in the alternate reality of Trump World, defied the advice of scientists and doctors, making the crisis far worse than it needed to be.Trump didn’t stop there.

He sees his number one hope for re-election in the state of our economy. Therefore, instead of closing down major components of the economy as recommended by our health experts from the CDC, Trump encouraged governors to open up their states for normal business. We saw what happened. Instead of the spread of the virus slowing down, it intensified and set records in many states during early July.

Trump’s approval ratings for Covid-19 are horrendous, will Americans remember when election day arrives in November?

Trump World Opposes Masks During the Pandemic

Trump World makes up the biggest CULT of our lifetime. His members are dedicated to their Supreme Leader, which means they defend everything he says or does, and I mean everything. The Supreme Leader is never wrong.  Their number one job is protecting and/or defending their leader. Everything he says or does is right, and anyone who disagrees with their leader, criticizes him, or investigates Trump, becomes the arch enemy of the cult. They will then begin a process of systematic attacks on anyone who does the above.

Trump has made one mistake after another with Covid-19. He claimed the virus was “Under Tremendous Control”, he said everything would return to normal by Easter, he recommended people swallow bleach, and then advised those with the virus to take hydroxychloroquine, despite all the medical evidence proving that was hazardous to one’s health. Even after all of those grievous errors/mistakes on the part of Trump, in his cult, he never made a single mistake. That brings us to the subject of masks in Florida.

Florida was on the national news this week because a large group of angry, vocal residents were yelling and screaming at the Palm Beach County Council,  which was preparing to make masks mandatory whenever a resident is inside a facility open to the public. People in Trump World live in an alternate reality bubble, where the truth and facts are irrelevant. They eat up one conspiracy story and lie after another from the Fox Propaganda Network. The latest right-wing propaganda circulating throughout Trump’s Cult is the bizarre idea that requiring the wearing of a mask isn’t a safety issue in the middle of a pandemic, it’s a violation of your constitutional rights. Since Trump never wears a mask, his cult members must insist upon doing the same. The people protesting the new law in Palm Beach County, FL are Trump Lovers. They see everything which happens from the perspective of how it impacts their Supreme Leader. And if Trump is telling them they shouldn’t wear masks, then who does the Palm Beach County government think they are?

Incredibly, they were also convinced by right wing propaganda that wearing a mask is hazardous to your health. Are they serious? All the doctors and nurses in America’s hospitals, who were risking their lives by treating and taking care of Covid-19 patients, were wrong to wear masks? Trump World is telling them that is dangerous to their health. At the Palm Beach County council meeting, one woman was screaming at the doctor who recommended the mask rule, alleging he’s not a real doctor and should resign. Keep in mind, that woman is dumber than dirt, yet she was preaching pseudo-science to a physician, because she heard it on Fox.

Of course, this issue goes way beyond wearing a mask indoors during a national pandemic. It illustrates the terrifying reality that about 35-40% of America listens to Fox and Trump every day. That means facts, logic, and the truth are totally irrelevant. They are people who will believe anything which supports their heavily bigoted view of the world. America is facing its most dangerous crisis of our lifetime.  Our democracy cannot make it through another four years of Donald Trump. Make sure you vote this November and ensure that your friends, relatives, and family members make it to the polls. This effort should concentrate on young people who only vote in relatively small numbers.

Fox Versus the Real World

Trump’s campaign, transition team, inaugural committee, business, and his administration are under investigation by the Southern District of NY and/or the Mueller team. However, the Fox propaganda network has a very different perspective on the events of the past 2 years. They’re telling their viewers that the paragon of virtue and honesty, currently living in the White House, is a victim of a corrupt FBI and Justice Department who are trying to negate the 2016 election. This is their “Deep State” theory. Robert Mueller, who is a war hero and a man who dedicated his life to serving his country, is considered an enemy of America by those who subscribe to Fox propaganda.

Fox implies, or actually says, the wide array of people in Trump’s orbit who plead guilty and became convicted felons are also victims. If you listen to Fox, those who plead guilty didn’t do such voluntarily, they were tricked into their plea by a devious and tricky FBI. I wouldn’t be surprised if Fox will soon claim the corrupt FBI put a gun to their heads, forcing them to offer a plea of guilty by force In addition, Fox doesn’t see the criminal enterprise Trump runs as a problem for Americans. In Trump World, he’s never held accountable or responsible for anything negative. It’s never Trump’s fault, they always find someone else to blame. And that’s usually President Obama or Hillary, or in this case, it’s their belief in a corrupt Justice Department and FBI.

You will never see Fox call the President a pathological liar. Can you imagine that? In the year 2019, we have a President who tells one lie after another. He contradicts what he said yesterday, by saying the complete opposite today. This is almost as scary as their lack of criticism when Trump calls the press an enemy of the people. Every budding dictator knows the biggest stumbling block to doing away with democracy is eliminating a free press. Study the rise of Hitler in the 1930s and you’ll see an eerie resemblance to the rise of Trump. At his numerous rallies, Hitler would say, “Make Germany Great Again”. Instead of immigrants and Muslims being the scapegoats, it was the Jews and Communists. Hitler took over the free press, he replaced them with the Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels. Hitler than eliminated the police; in their place he installed storm troopers and the Gestapo.

Finally, Fox uses the Joseph Goebbels propaganda technique. They understand very well if you repeat something endlessly to their low IQ viewers, who never do research of their own, they will believe it. There are many examples, but start by examining illegal immigrants. Much of Trump’s base lives in rural America, where they will probably never meet nor have any contacts with illegal immigrants. Yet they incredibly believe immigrants are coming to invade their towns, take away their jobs, and become a burden on the taxpayer. The mere mention of the term illegal immigrant makes a Trump supporter’s blood pressure soar. Fox is a major threat to our American democracy.
