Yep. The Virgin, Connie Swail and the Convicted Felon, Donald Trump. Should be uttered every single time anyone mentions him.
It's about winning, morality has nothing to do with it. And it has to do with what they think will benefit them personally. The shadow racism and desire for a full plutocracy and all the financial benefits that come from eliminating tax on wealthy individuals is just too enticing. Donald is their best chance to win and maybe get the dictatorship they so desperately desire. None of them have any morals or scruples at all. Piles of human garbage who want to enrich themselves and keep anyone "different" (read: different race) from them down, you know, where they belong. Maybe we do need a civil war to weed out the human garbage.
One thing they could do is look at his history prior to running for president. This guy has been a lifelong scumbag sleazeball. This is who he is.
That's the thing though, I think trump is their worst chance to win.
Fantastic chilling video. Great watch. Thanks.
This so much this. It’s so weird to me, sunken cost maybe? That people still defend this guy despite all corruption from years and years. This isn’t Mr Rogers being found guilty of felonies, it’s Trump. It’s like the most deserving guy. What’s ironic is that he’s got a bunch of other crimes that either haven’t been prosecuted or are being delayed BECAUSE HE IS TRUMP.
This is a great post.
Yeah but the 2nd part matters, for whatever reason. Keeping people in their place. Trump is their best bet for that.
I would love for a single Lee voter to tell me 1 good piece of legislation Lee has passed in all the years he’s been in the senate that has improved the lives of avg Utahns.
That’s the pt. In today’s authoritarian regimes, they don’t need a KGB like security system to constrain illegal thoughts. Evolution has happened. And that evolution is, “flood the zone with ****.” Enough people will just give up trying to decipher fact from fiction and will just resort to raw tribalism. That’s what we’ve seen with the GOP since 2016. It doesn’t matter what Trump says or does. It does matter what scientists say. Doesn’t matter what special counsels, judges, or juries say. There is no truth. Everyone is corrupt. Might as well stick with my team.
I do think there’s a disconnect between the general and the primary. Meaning, Trump still owns the base. The base craves the white grievance that Trump sells. That’s why he’s attractive to both billionaire tech bros who want to rule the land in CA, to bishop Hansen in Draper, UT, to grand wizard toothless cleutus butt **** from east jesus, AR. Grievance sells! Everyone loves being a persecuted victim and finding an enemy (liberals, blacks, college elitists, Jews, Muslims, da gayyyyyssss, brown Spanish speaking horde, etc). For billionaires, Trump is a useful idiot, conservative justices and tax cuts. For everyone else, he is their retribution against perceived enemies.
How many other members feel this same way? I’d be genuinely interested. If one could conduct a poll of active members and know that their identities would be kept a secret, how many would like to see the church stop hoarding funds? I’m not a fan of City Creek like endeavors or having a portfolio worth gazillions of dollars. The church does a lot of good with its money. Why not do a lot more? Or at least start giving “tithing breaks” to single/lower income members.
Reminded of this
