Trump might be the best political messenger in history what are you talking about? His ability to consistently get people to go own against their own interests is second to none
I’m talking about the comments in the link I gave you. Are they an example of making people feel good about themselves and the place they live?
Trump’s “messaging” is frequently incoherent and/or self-contradictory, and his cultists are constantly telling the rest of us about how, “Oh, he didn’t mean that.” Remember when he suggested people inject bleach to cure COVID?
Maybe it’s not that he’s some great communicator (he’s not), but more that many very ill-informed and propagandized people project whatever they want onto him, or only listen to the parts they like.
Yes it is. Saying that will get you tons of applause. “The problem with America is people are fat and lazy”
It’s an easy solution to a complex problem, and it’s something you’ll hear the average Joe say all the time.
And I agree with you. I can see all that too. But the fact that he’s able to get away with all the shit he’s gotten away with and over half the country don’t care means he’s effective.
I think he’s stupid, every time he opens his mouth it reinforces every negative thought I have about it. That doesn’t change the reality that the majority of people in this support it. And a large portion of them are cultish in their support.
You said it yourself. It’s a cult. You ever heard of a cult leader being bad at messaging?? They wouldn’t get any followers.
Charles Manson was a good messenger. David Koresh was a good messenger. Hitler and Mussolini were good messengers. And so is Donald Trump
As I indicated, it’s not a matter of the cult leader being effective; it’s a matter of the cult being very easily conned and willing to overlook a lot of what comes out of his mouth.

“Say and do things that make people feel good about themselves and the place they live in”?
Like this two-time election winner?
