Did any of you guys watch that Netflix documentary on the Hassids in Brooklyn?
Check it out. They support Trump 100%, as do many Jews who were and still consider themselves to be progress and liberal, which are antithetical to the values held by the Hassids.
Trump has exploited EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER DEFECT possible in Americans. It seems complex, but it isn’t.
It isn’t derangement, nor is it a cult. It’s a group of people that either want more money, their own interests served, or are not who you think they are and they pretend to be liberal, but are socially liberal for their own lives, yet are also racists, homophobic, or want certain tax benefits or financial deals to become accessible to them.
The stupid ones aren’t that stupid. They just hate everyone and everything and would have been picked off by any candidate with autocratic tendencies, while the really smart ones want more of whatever it is they think they will get for having him as POTUS.
No matter what you think, every single person who is STILL a full fledged Trump supporter, and who knows that voting for Trump is a real threat to democracy, is voting for him regardless, because they do not benefit from democracy, or because they don’t actually care about democracy, more than they care for whatever they think is more important than democracy.
This will be a hate vote, that they will be casting not because they hate Trump, but because they are either evil, and want to see this country come to an end, or because they actually believe they’re doing God’s will by voting for Trump, and will be saving unborn babies, and to them, they would rather unborn babies come into a country that is totally autocratic, than see them come into a real democracy.
Either way, the diehard Trumpers do NOT want a real democracy nor have they ever. They don’t understand what it is, or they do, and they believe autocratic rule would be best, because they believe that autocratic rule is closer to their God’s will”.
What they don’t understand is that Autocrats aren’t religious and only exploit the religion of the day, for the purposes of stripping them of their present, constitutional rights. They’re gonna understand this eventually, if Trump wins again, and they live to see what’s about to go down, when a POTUS is half a billion in debt to unknown personal lenders/foreign actors, because he can no longer get a normal business loan guaranteed via ANY bank in the United States.
This is why being open minded, well read, educated, and willing to admit when wrong, matters SO much.
People who live their lives by rules that are dispensed by religious leaders and any book, whether a bible, or a Quran, never stop and realize that their belief systems make them highly vulnerable to eventually being ruled by an autocratic statesman, who will use their very own religion to make their lives as unfree, and undemocratic as possible, until finally, they wipe out religion, because it is now the state that is to be worshipped, before God, and nor under God, but under their new dictator.
Huge trade offs here, and from what I’ve seen, they’re ready to make that trade off because, again - they never truly understood why our founding fathers risked it all to get away from that type of rule, called a MONARCHY, ruled as a kingdom, by a MONARCH ,where the state was the church and the church was the state, UNDER the MONARCH, or people whom we which we now call DICTATORS, in places like Iran, Turkey, and China.
That’s why separation of church and state was so important.
Now, they are just happy and willing to give EVERYTHING to Cesar, including their freedom, if necessary. Our, too.
