Throughout history and civilization, once powerful societies have fallen apart. Some examples include: The rise and fall of the Roman Empire; Several powerful Greek / Spartan societies; Lenin, Stalin and the Tsars; The third Reich; etc. All of these, at the peak of their power, seemed to control the actions and behaviors of their supporters, whether by appealing to their fears, biases / prejudices, greed, perceptions, or being naive and gullible, etc. For example, the Nazi Director of Propoganda allegedly claimed and believed that if those in control kept repeating a lie, often people would start to believe it. It appears that many Americans are unprepared, unwilling, and / or unable to effectively learn important lessons from the past / history and, currently, it appears that we are witnessing a level of misinformation and propaganda at a potential level. Dangerous degree, which may be one of the worst examples of this ever. Many of Trump’s top supporters seem, therefore, brainwashed, or want a return to what they perceive as the good old days, and believe that this president, despite so many obvious examples of distortions, lies, is missing of preparation, without empathy, or the fact that you so often put your personal / political agenda and the self-interest of the nation and citizens, and your appeals / rhetoric / populist promises, ahead of a well-considered strategy, relevant, sustainable and strategic. and action plan! With that in mind, this article will briefly attempt to consider, examine, review, and discuss 6 possible reasons why so many of President Trump’s supporters seem, almost automatically (without question), to believe him and call opposing perspectives and points of view. , false facts.
1. Believe / Trust Trump: For whatever the reasons, many of this president’s leading supporters have portrayed him as something of a hero, rather than a public servant. No matter what you say or do, or how often you contradict yourself, they continue, thoroughly, to support and trust Trump!
two. Is it a form of brainwashing ?: Although, not in a conventional way, many supporters seem so fully committed, they proceed, like Hitler’s youth, by buying everything the man tells them! It can be difficult to determine why they do it, but apparently the fact that 35-40% of Americans support it so strongly should concern people looking to the future!
3. Greed: How, someone who presents himself as this super successful businessman, although many doubt it, can motivate so many of his supporters, who are struggling, in many areas of life, is a testament to the power of rhetoric, and repeating, a message of greed, fear and prejudice, which seems to appeal to the worst instincts of many of us.
Four. Prejudice / hatred: Each of us is entitled to our own political perspectives / opinions / positions, but that does not mean that we are allowed our own set of facts. Either something is a fact or a lie! It is not an alternative fact! A powerful reason, so many are so dominated by the politics of negativity, probably due to the inherent power of their personal prejudice and hatred!
5. My way or the highway: Rather than seeking a meeting of the mind, for the greater good, President Trump often articulates a polarizing and adversarial message, basically telling anyone who disagrees with him or even questions him, it’s My way or the highway.
6. Refuse to proceed with a clear vision / strategy / plan: Despite the fact, Donald Trump refuses to proceed with a clear vision, or a well-considered plan (strategy and / or action plan), his strongest supporters. they don’t seem to care, and they keep their blind support!
Wake up America and force smart action and responsive, relevant behavior now, before it’s too late! It is up to American voters to ensure that future leaders meet our overall needs and best interests.
