True to a degree certainly, but dump seems a little different. People like Jones and Manson were charismatic, and there was a mystical/spiritual quality about them Dump has developed a cult-like following among a group of people who were already angry, resentful and afraid, but he has never shown himself to be charismatic at any point in his life, though he has been in positions of leadership for a long time. There is nothing mystical or spiritual about him. He's a grand manipulator, like all cult leaders, but there's a missing quality with him. Was Hitler a cult leader? Maybe the answer is obvious, but not to me. -
Donnie has the myth of Trump. The rich playboy who makes millions and bangs supermodels. Now, the myth may not be all its supposed to be, but facts don't matter. Donnie has spent decades building that myth, just as the Republicans spent decades building the myth about Hillary Clinton.
Now, a major part of his cult are those white racist ****s he's been cultivating since 2015. But there is another part, those disaffected small town folk, maybe little educated, who feel that this country and economy have left them behind. And they felt Donnie spoke to them, he heard their pain, their voice, and he was going to Washington to take on the establishment and fight for them. It was total horse**** of course, just another con by Donnie, but the believed it. And he keeps telling them how much he's accomplished, how much he's done for them, and they believe it. Cause they have no way of verifying for themselves, either cause they don't want to, or they're too dumb to. So they take him at his word.
The problem is, those very people they support, who play the cultural issues to woo them to their side, are the very ones responsible for their plight. The ones who've spent 40 years killing off unions and high paying manufacturing jobs, who've sent those jobs overseas and provided them no recourse or alternative but low paying jobs at C stores or Wal-Mart. And then use the culture wars to further divide them, to blame others for their plight instead of the GOP and big business. To rile them up, to make them angry, so they never have the chance to sit back and reflect on just why things are the way they are. Its always someone else's fault, someone else to blame. The darkies, the furriners, them damm college edumucated elites telling them how they should live.Last edited by rufus; 10-17-2020, 10:13 AM.What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?Comment

Trump says he may leave the US if Biden wins. Let me guess, it will be to a non-extradition country...

We all know the only place on that list which is a semi-realistic destination for him is Russia. The rest either want nothing to do with him (Jhina), or are too brown/black/Mooselimb for his taste (UAE, Bahrain). He can't even pronounce Namibia, so they're definitely out. He was nothing but a useful idiot to Kim Fatty III, so the Norks aren't calling him back either.Originally posted by MinnesotaNorthStar View PostComment

4 years later, Hillary is still free. Now it's Whitmer they want locked up.
You'd think they'd have realized by now that he sold them a bill of goods on the investigations and prosecutions of supposedly "criminal" Democrats.Comment

No that would require them having deductive reasoning and they barely have the brain capacity to chant 3 words..."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

What does he have to offer to Russia that they would let him in?
please. The only place that would accept him is a third-rate third-world ****hole.
Russia is going to discard him like a urine-soaked mattress.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Some countries like to take in ousted dictators, but that's because they have suitcases full of gold bars and a Swiss account full of embezzled funds to spend there. No one wants to take in the guy with hundreds of millions of debt coming due.
