I’m saying that anyone supporting an obvious villain is, by definition, disqualified from the category of “good people.”
This isn’t some fantasy movie where the evil wizard has cast a magical spell upon the unsuspecting populous, and now they’re under his control.
These people are, at the most generous interpretation, willingly allowing themselves to be taken in by a charlatan. Most of them are perfectly happy with everything he’s doing, or at least willing to look the other way.
They all have the ability to start paying attention to what’s going on and stop supporting him. They choose not to.
They’re not good people. They’re definitely not patriots. They’re traitors.
Hmmm, i think thats a foolish thing to think when you’re talking about roughly 1/4-1/3 of ~330 million people. And when you consider the modern state of the political landscape and the way that social media has created these massive online echo chambers.
They have one of two choices neither of which has shown to do anything to advance the interests of your average working American. We live in the most propagandized country in the world that isn’t ruled by a dictator. And we live in a political system which has shown itself to align itself to the interests of Capital Markets, it should definitely be the other way around.
Everyone who supports Donald Trump is not a bad person, many of them are just like you know your neighbor. Trumps policies are terrible and I doubt that well make into the next election with a major net negative economic event due to his lack of understanding of global markets, but I have to remind myself constantly that people all have there own perspective. While you or I do see Trump as an obvious villian, many very intelligent people from doctors, lawyers, business executives to forklift certified laborersee him as strong and capable hero.
I remember meeting two guys from Mexico out and about one night at like a techno concert. They were both very proTrump. I was confounded. Honestly like he was already president he was wildly unpopular by the end of six months and those four years were a chaotic nightmare. Like why did these two dudes from Reynosa think he was what America needed? Ill necer understand, but they were smart guys and I felt like they might have been good people
I am just joining Lemmy but I may not be able to stay for long if the conversation consist of such one dimensional with us or against us rhetoric. This type of vitriol by the way is very off putting to people who are not yet aligned, also known as the people you need to win over if your political/philosophical movements are to gain strength and support.
I am a lefty a super lefty at this point, but I’ll never be a diluted to the point that Im ineffective. I promise you that. There are good people on both sides of the aisle. It is unfortunate that civics in this country has devolved to the point where we are so divided we don’t even see each-other as a united America anymore. But we really see each-other as enemies. Very bad for us, good for our true enemies.
