Former President Donald Trump’s supporters say they hold him as a source of true information over their family, friends, and religious leaders, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll out on Sunday.
Personally, I choose self choice based on my own thoughts and research rather then let anybody else (especially small groups) influence my decisions. I would be much worse off if I followed inline with my family on many different things.
Resentment towards elites who sold us all on a bunch of bullshit. The elites have failed us in nearly every way and that in turn made it easy for a populist like Trump to step in and start telling the lies that a certain demographic wants to hear.
Mind you, I’m not saying that it makes any logical sense, I’m just explaining what I believe happened, or at least a big part of it.
Oh I definitely feel that resentment and it has certainly made me a worse person. The wealthy have done a smash & grab on our economies and it’s been destroying livelihoods.
Where I feel like we’ve become stupid as a species is placing our trust in filthy rich corrupt oligarchs. Many of the politicians we elect are basically getting lobbyist handjobs from big corporations.
If their leader tells them to wear Nikes and have drink of poison because that way the comet will pick them up and maga, I’d say we don’t stand in the way.
a form of sexual desire in which gratification is strongly linked to a particular object or activity or a part of the body other than the sexual organs.
an inanimate object worshiped for its supposed magical powers or because it is considered to be inhabited by a spirit.
cultnoun
a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.
a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister.
a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing.
So, it’s either sexual or directed at an inanimate object. Trump is not inanimate.
Considering that Trump told them that COVID-19 wouldn’t kill them and their family said it would, of course they would trust him since it didn’t. Those that died of COVID, of course, didn’t answer the poll. Survivorship bias!
The only people who told me Covid would kill me is those in power. Everyone else seemed to think it was just another virus…
We also found it strange that we were told it’s a major issue for at risk people (duh, everything is), but then sent certain groups, like the elderly, that were confirmed sick back into their communities of at risk folk…
It was a cluster of nonsense. Yea, we want to be safe. We don’t want to get sick even if it is minor, but the cluster of clusters was clusterific.
Not one bit. I approached Covid like a cold and ignored it while your kind lost your minds “trusting the science” which was mostly bullshit. Even now, after the real science which was initially suppressed, has seen the light of day, you’ll sit there and pontificate upon your high horse that everything the government did was necessary for the “greater” good. You probably hated the vaccines when Trump was in office and loved them after Biden was sworn in. Boot licker. Imagine taking an experimental vaccine for a bad cold with a 99.7% survival rate. Whenever you drop dead from Vaids it’ll be counted as a Covid death. Don’t forget your monthly booster Chud.
All your insults and assumptions about me are baseless, I’m not even American. I’ve just been marveling at you conspiracy theorists’ ignorance from afar.
With the margin of error at the top of the chart of 7.2% that would (1/0.072^2) amount to a mere 193 respondents. While one doesn’t doubt that trump followers are severely demented, this chart (who’s percentages don’t even add to remotely 100%) is likewise.
