Donald Trump (All General Trump Conversations Here) The more I see interviews with Trump supporters at Trump rallies the more disturbed I get. They seem to care more about the narrative than facts. They hold signs that say "Live Free Or Die" while at the same time they cheer Trump when he praises Kim Jong Un, quotes Vladimir Putin, and jokes about being a "Day One Dictator." They cheer on his authoritarian leanings, and so in my mind they encourage him in this direction. Yet, that would end up taking away their own freedoms in the long run. That's the thing about enabling an authoritarian or supporting expanding the powers of the executive branch... In the short term, you may support it because it is being used against your political opponents (liberals, RINOs, etc.) but in the long term it may erode your own rights and freedoms. Trump supporters don't seem concerned by this, or even cognizant of it. When interviewed about why they support Trump, they say vague things like "Trump cares about us" or "Drill, baby, drill" but there don't seem to be a lot of specifics. It's more like buying into an "us versus them" narrative about Trump being a heroic figure fighting against evil: Democrats who get equated with communists, antifa, globalists, Satanists, pedophiles, the Deep State, and fill in your favorite conspiracy theory here. It's definitely like a cult or fast growing and popular religion. I see a lot of fervor, but not a lot of critical thinking, in this MAGA movement. If you are a Republican and critical of Trump, you get cast out as an apostate RINO or even accused of being a traitor and receive death threats. Scary times!
