Title: Why do Trump's supporter 'believe' his lies...
Post by eau de sauvage on 10/20/18 at 14:21:16

This really is at the essence of all my posts, no what Trump does but why are his obvious lie so willingly believed, and the following brilliant, short yet succinct explanation, absolutely nails it...

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/10/trump-lies-kavanaugh-khashoggi.html

“President Obama was born in Africa,” for example, is a provable lie, but it points toward what to Trump’s supporters see as a deeper truth: President Obama is black, and therefore, isn’t really a real American.

That's an interesting topic Ray, why not start a thread about it.

This thread is about why Trump's supporters 'believe' his lies. Note that 'believe' is in scare quotes, meaning that it's not so much a question needing to be answered but an explanation for what may seem puzzling.

And it has been answered to my satisfaction in the article I linked to.

Oh, so you were not asking a question then?

You were only affirming what you want to believe, is that it, by posting the article?

@Serowbot,

That link is perfect for this thread. It's just directed at his supporters, they know it's all bullshit but they get the point! They all knew that Obama was born in America, the point was 'hey we got ourselves a nigga president and that is not what god intended'. The question is will the rust belt get fooled twice. Ich don't think so.

(For those new here, UL = Ultra Liberal)

“We found very broad-based opposition to the idea of sanctuary cities,” said IGS Director Jack Citrin, a professor of political science at UC-Berkeley who has studied immigration for years”
“So, as it turns out, Californians—Democrats, Republicans, and Independents--are actually more opposed to sanctuary cities than the rest of the United States"

https://www.intellectualtakeout.org/blog/fact-check-do-74-californians-really-oppose-sanctuary-cities

"Wave of cities, counties rejecting California ban on cooperation with federal immigration policies.
What started late last month with a city council vote in the Southern California suburb of Los Alamitos has grown into a wave of dissent across Orange County that is sparking a new kind of resistance in the Trump era: Californians in revolt against their own state — not the Trump administration.”

http://www.investmentwatchblog.com/revolt-spreads-californians-dont-want-sanctuary-cities/

"Californians strongly oppose “sanctuary city” policies under which local authorities ignore federal requests to detain undocumented  immigrants who have been arrested but are about to be released, according to a new poll released today by the Institute of Governmental Studies (IGS) at UC Berkeley. That opposition comes from strong majorities in both major political parties"  http://news.berkeley.edu/2015/09/04/igs-poll-californians-oppose-sanctuary-city-flexibility/
(Just in case your eyes were tearing up from Crying, that was, Berkeley)

"It’s no wonder that many native-born and legal immigrant residents of California feel that Democratic politicians reflexively elevate the claims of people who entered the country illegally over the law-abiding, tax-paying populace. The why is not a mystery – Democrats see illegal aliens and their progeny as future Democratic voters”
https://www.sacbee.com/opinion/california-forum/article215126345.html

"At least 14 Southern California cities and two counties have passed ordinances, and in some cases filed lawsuits, against the state’s controversial sanctuary laws that largely prohibit local and state authorities from cooperating with federal immigration officers”
https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/04/23/california-cities-are-rebelling-against-state-sanctuary-law-but-how-far-can-they-go/

“We wanted to make sure that there was a message that local cities within the state of California don’t agree with the direction that the state is going on this.”
https://www.citylab.com/equity/2018/04/california-cities-fight-their-sanctuary-state/556973/

"Last month, Costa Mesa became the latest in a growing number of cities south of Los Angeles in the Orange County, to officially oppose the state’s California Values Act. The state law expands protections for undocumented immigrants by preventing, in many cases, local law enforcement from holding people at the request of federal immigration agents. The law also limits some information sharing between local law enforcement and federal immigration agents about select inmates”

Trump supporters do not believe verbatim everything he says. We allow him a wide lane to roam around in because of people like you, like Sew, like TT. You hate, no you loathe, what we call average Americans. You make fun of, you laugh at, you think you're intellectually miles above. You're dumbstruck anyone would have a thought that there's a good likelihood of a higher being, you label someone bigoted if they question the need for one bathroom in a Target, that its not a given anyone can walk across our borders, you shouldn't be forced to bake a cake, that there's something wrong with Hilary, that its better to be feared abroad than liked, and a million other little things you do and say. Oh, and what you did to Kavanaugh.

Trump supporters, of which I count myself one, stand by him because you've directed your hatred and embarrassment of us on to him. And he's our sword to fight back.

We take him seriously but we don't believe everything he says. You don't take him seriously, but you believe everything he says.

"if they question the need for one bathroom in a Target"

"We take him seriously but we don't believe everything he says. You don't take him seriously, but you believe everything he says."

 This is a good way to put it.  

 How I see it is that when you like someone you are more flexible with what they can get away with.  A drunk friend who breaks a window is forgiven easier than a drunk stranger who breaks a window.  

 When you don't like someone you are more critical of everything they do.  When a friend accidentally breaks a window they are forgiven easier, because accidents happen, than when that idiot you hate almost breaks a window.  That jerk should watch what he's doing.

 The sooner we see this in ourselves, and actively acknowledge it, the sooner we have selective arguments that get us somewhere than fights that just piss us off.

That's fine, and I get where you're coming from, but that's not the entire story when it comes to this particular situation in my opinion.


For 8 years we listened to the conservatives b!tch and moan about "how terrible things were".  For 8 years they nitpicked Obama and his administration, his personal activities, his religion, his wife, and on and on.

Now, in the age of trump - who anyone can see is a far worse human being (in terms of his supposed Christianity, his past affairs, his three marriages, etc.) - the conservatives call foul on the liberals and anyone else who opposes this man.

You want to talk policy?  Fine.  But don't try and tell everyone now that the rules of conduct are somehow different now that trump's in office.

Do you remember how trump himself criticized Obama for "golfing so much"?  Do you remember how trump led the birther movement (while at the same time has a wife that had an anchor baby with him)?

I'll put this out there one more time - yeah, I hate trump the man.  I don't think he's fit for office.  His only "experience" was a reality TV show.  He is so thin skinned, narcissistic, petty, childish and unintelligent that he brings the office of president down to the lowest level in our country's history.

The man deserves no respect because he shows no respect - period.


Now, that being said, the whole idea about whether or not to take a president's word seriously is unimaginable.  Where do you draw the line?  I'm not talking about you or I, I'm talking about the president.  Has there ever been a president that has blatantly lied as much as trump?  Has there ever been a president who addressed the general public with such disregard?  Has there ever been a president to state categorically that "I alone can fix it"?  The answer to those is "No".

Now, I get giving leeway.  I totally understand being more tolerant of "your guy" is simply human nature - you stated it very well above.  But what do you do when it's more than a broken window that your friend breaks?  Where do you draw the line at forgiveness?  When he runs his car into your garage door?  When he burns down your house?  When he kills your dog with his car?

You see Eegor - in my opinion, we've gotten far past that level of forgiveness.  And to be clear, it has very, very little to do with the administration and everything to do with trump.

As anyone can see, the economy is continuing to improve (for now) - but let's be real, it's on the same path as Obama had it on.  I think some things, like the "new NAFTA" could actually be an improvement.  But that has very, very little to do with trump and everything to do with the administration.


Where have we gotten to in this country if we don't take every single statement from the president seriously?  This isn't the "good old days".  We live in a new world and everything a president says or does is on the record.  For better or worse, that's where we are as a country.  The president is expected to understand this and live by those rules.  

If there really is a difference, how in the world can people make the distinction between what he states and what means?

We can't.  That's not our job - that's his.

okay, seriously..  everyone,  think about this:

Take him seriously.
Not literally.

what are you basing your serious interpretation on??  

he says things, but those things don't really matter(if they are exaggerated, hyperbolic, inflamatory, instigating, just flat out made up (riots in California?)  ? but you're all serious about it???

so you're basing your seriousness on a salesman's lies and exaggerations...

the hyperbolic language and the emotion you feel from it is more important to you than the actual facts (literalness) of it???  

if someone tells you it's raining cats and dogs outside and you go out and it's barely sprinkling, would you still get all your rain gear and boots and umbrellas and run to your car?  

does the reality of what he says actually mean anything to you?  

how do you have the balls to say we're delusional, that we have TDS, what we believe craziness, that we are ignorant, when you are believing lies, but not really, but yet in a serious way???

No, he didn't.  The only thing he's guilty of is poor planning.

Further, at least he owned up to it.

The Antiwar Party cheered.

Lefties BELIEVED that lie.
And continue to believe.

Yes, Obama LIED. He said it was a humanitarian mission.
THAT'S NOT HOW YOU HELP PEOPLE.



Why have a "goal" of a flood of refugees?  Seriously

It requires a much more complicated grasp of the world to see how that could possibly be a goal. I DIDN'T say it was, but it was the obvious result of wiping Libya out, and they did it anyway.

If you want to stir the melting pot, drive societies to economic ruin, they started the process.

No, I won't stop being "so literal."

this is how language works, somebody says something, someone else hears those words and judges them based on their knowledge of facts, reality and values, if they find those words to be hyperbolic, offensive, exaggerated and outright lies, what kind of person takes that seriously??!!

but NO, let's do it your way, let's take thing seriously but not literally, let's let our emotions and hubris lead the way......

Warrens DNA,  oh, that's okay, don't take it so literally.... but it's serious that she has Native American ancestors....  

"if you like your plan you can keep you plan"  shhhh, he's not being literal, he was saying that there'll probably be a plan just like your plan on the new exchanges..... even if they are completely different, quit being so literal man....

"humanitarian mission in Libya"  it'll help someone right? it doesn't have to literally be an actual success, at least we tried right?   and seriously, we need to back up our NATO allies on this one.... so let's take it seriously even if there's not literally a humanitarian mission....

$110 billion and 6000 job arms deal in Saudi...   that's serious enough to risk taking some more injury to our moral high ground...  oh it's literally only $25 billion..... well, still, serious enough right???


and on and on and on....

He's not

Where have we gotten to in this country if we don't take every single statement from the president seriously?

A little reality check is in order. Obama lied repeatedly in office. All Presidents do, and he was no exception. Now, you can claim whatever lies were minimal and harmless, but I would beg to differ.

During his campaign, "More black men languish in prison that attend colleges across America".  Wrong. And let’s not even bring up the fact this was dealing race cards.

Of course, the big whopper “if you like your plan you can keep you plan.” That was a huge one because it was told to sway opinion.

Allowing the Hilary story to continue that the Benghazi attack was spontaneous due to the uproar caused by an inflammatory video tape.

Nice lie to cover his a$$. I'm pretty sure I know what happened there. When they got a request for more security, they decided it would weaken their position that the situation was under control, so they said no. When the $hit the fan and the Ambassador was killed, Obama told Hilary if she stuck by a story that covered him, he'd support her during her election. She took the blame knowing the media would provide enough cover to survive it which she did.


Has there ever been a president who addressed the general public with such disregard?  

Well, as a matter of fact, yes. "You didn't build that" was a statement that put on full display his lack of understanding of America. His lack of business experience. It displayed the fact his entire life before being in office was academic or political. He had and still has, zero knowledge of how things get done in this country. He was voted into the Senate because of how he was packaged, not what was on the inside. He was in the senate for two years, having accomplished nothing of value, when he announced he was exploring the Presidency. He was a bright, shiny package.


Has there ever been a president to state categorically that "I alone can fix it"?

Is there any statement more narcissist than this?

generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth.

WAIT!!! why are you taking him literally???  isn't the sentiment of that statement more important? that black men are behind in college attendance and ahead in prison sentences????  


Of course, the big whopper “if you like your plan you can keep you plan.” That was a huge one because it was told to sway opinion.

Okay, again, why are you taking that literally?????  again the essence of this statement is: surely there was a plan almost just like your plan on the exchanges, I mean private insurance wouldn't just drop it would they???


Allowing the Hilary story to continue that the Benghazi attack was spontaneous due to the uproar caused by an inflammatory video tape.

again, literal interpretation, you were so mad about it then, but you can't be mad about it now can you? you're the ones not taking things literally.
I"m sure Clinton meant, the general inflamation in the area, not helped by a video, stirring the pot, and sure, there might have been a pre-planned attack but all doubt to do it was abolished when that video came out.....  but that's me reading a ton into it, taking Clinton seriously but not literally

um, again, you are taking that both out of context and very literally.  Obama wasn't speaking of the business, he was speaking of the various infrastructure allowing businesses to thrive in America in general, whether that's roads, or education or other government/public funded things. That was the sentiment of that statement, but you took it literally and now you're all upset that we are taking Trump literally????  mmmmm, sounds like someone isn't being consistent or honest with themselves.....

Context once again mark.  Obama and clinton recanted - more than once.  They were going off data they were given.

I'm pretty sure I know what happened there. When they got a request for more security, they decided it would weaken their position that the situation was under control, so they said no. When the $hit the fan and the Ambassador was killed, Obama told Hilary if she stuck by a story that covered him, he'd support her during her election.

LOL - you were in the room?  Please - the above paragraph is silly.  It's all in your head.  You have no clue what happened behind closed doors.

You should write fiction.


Has there ever been a president who addressed the general public with such disregard?  

Well, as a matter of fact, yes. "You didn't build that" was a statement that put on full display his lack of understanding of America.

LOL - once again, CONTEXT.  How can you not know what Obama was talking about??  I guess fox news tells you all you need to know...

His lack of business experience. It displayed the fact his entire life before being in office was academic or political. He had and still has, zero knowledge of how things get done in this country.

Good thing running a country has little in common with running a business.  And Obama's experience serving the public is orders of magnitude larger than trump's.

He was voted into the Senate because of how he was packaged, not what was on the inside.

Really?  So you know him personally?  You've met the man and talked to him?  You know what's "on the inside"?
Once again, a delusional statement.

He was in the senate for two years, having accomplished nothing of value, when he announced he was exploring the Presidency. He was a bright, shiny package.

And he served as president for 8 years taking us out of the grips of the largest economic downturn since the Great Depression.

Yeah, funny - I don't see the word "I" in any of what Obama said there. He's saying "we" - as in "We The People"

How about that?  (do you know what narcissism is?)

It's not a "card I'm playing" - it's a fact.

Read:

Obama, July 13, 2012: There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me — because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t — look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.)

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.

The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.

So we say to ourselves, ever since the founding of this country, you know what, there are some things we do better together. That’s how we funded the GI Bill. That’s how we created the middle class. That’s how we built the Golden Gate Bridge or the Hoover Dam. That’s how we invented the Internet. That’s how we sent a man to the moon. We rise or fall together as one nation and as one people, and that’s the reason I’m running for President — because I still believe in that idea. You’re not on your own, we’re in this together.


But the facts remain.

I've never believed that 4000 lie BS. Like you, I suspect the stretch the definition of what's a truth or not to suit them.

@JoG, America is BENEFITING from Trump.

How? He put a lobbyist for the oil industry as head of the EPA, he put a schools for profit billionaire in charge of education. He gave tax cuts to the wealthy. He has encouraged racism and polarisation of American society. Probably the worst of his actions are the demeaning of women and the promotion of misogynistic attitudes.

OK he's caused the upward trend of employment to reverse and he has overseen a rise in company profits that have seen a large growth in wages... Oh wait... he hasn't....
