Danny Bateman Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Not really sure where to post this, but Q-Anon is sure as hell a cult of insane weirdos, and they're convinced they're a couple steps ahead of everyone else while we're all just chasing our tails. Link to comment

Nebfanatic Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 It hasn't been released yet but apparently Fox news interviewed Rick Perry where he says Trump was is the Chosen One by God and was sent here to do great things. Cult mode fully engaged. Link to comment
NM11046 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I saw a clip of a Fox host show discussing it. Disgusting. Someone on Twitter asked can you imagine if one of Obama's cabinet members went on MSNBC and said that Obama is the chosen one of Allah and was here to do good? We'd have all these GOP guys taken care of cuz they'd all have a stroke or coronary event. Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 The man is a convicted war criminal. He should have nothing to do with our armed forces. But think about the motives here. Trump has no reason to be involved in a case like this. So why is he? Distraction? Trying to curry favor with the military for a coup? 2 1 Link to comment

Worst case scenario they would hopefully support him in a coup. But, obviously, we hope this never gets to that. Link to comment

Trump has: Routinely stolen charity funds meant for veterans (the most recent judgement against him that he had to pay restitution for) or promised to donate to various veteran-based charities and never actually donated anything Has failed to fix problems with the VA (per veterans I talk to regularly) Pissed off General Mattis and treated him like garbage (who is revered in many military circles) Called a Purple Heart recipient and decorated Army officer a traitor Denigrated John McCain repeatedly, even after his death and to where fellow Republicans were telling him to STFU Had repeatedly prevented funding of veteran housing for soldiers with PTSD and/or suicidal tendencies. Lied/cheated to get out of military service The only soldiers that would support Trump in a coup would be the racist, ignorant soldiers that are an embarrassing stain on the military, not unlike the pardoned SEAL (remember--accepting a pardon means you're accepting guilt for said crime). And I'd like to think the number of decent, hard-working, non-racist soldiers out there that remember Russia is an enemy would outnumber the POS soldiers that would support vermin like Trump. 2 Link to comment

Trump hopes they would support him because he 'has their backs' even though he doesn't. Mercury in retrograde might be a real thing, there has been alot of misunderstanding today Link to comment

Not sure I worded the sentence you asked about very well. A coup in this country would be the absolute worst result fo this mess we find ourselves in. I personally have no clue why the military would support him. I would view him as the worst type of leader if I were in the military. He's someone who was too chicken s#!t to serve himself when his country called on him and at the same time, he has the big tough guy attitude where he's said he's willing to send the military in to many places around the world where our military people would probably die for a certain cause.....and, many of those causes aren't necessarily in our country's best interest.

Moiraine Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I would guess a majority of soldiers support Trump, but that doesn't mean a majority are willing to go as far as to support him in a coup attempt. *crosses fingers* I dunno how many it would take though. Link to comment
NM11046 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 As I was seeing clips this morning of his FL "Coming Home" rally it made me think what is it that makes people seek out the opportunity to be there? So I looked up herd mentality and found some interesting articles. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/after-service/201705/the-science-behind-why-people-follow-the-crowd It also touches upon the importance of words like; "best" "greatest" etc - know anybody that uses those a lot?

There are better videos of his than this one on the topic but I’m lazy. Link to comment
QMany Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Every day, I'm more and more convinced society will look back upon the Trump campaign/presidency and study it as a cult. Racism. Corruption. Incompetence. Election interference. Pardons. Obstruction. Monetary policy. Abuse of power. Lies. Absolute immunity. Narcissism. Unhinged incoherence. Sexual assaults. Foreign policy. Witness intimidation. Tax returns. The cult cheers and defends. It truly doesn't matter the act, just that their cult leader did it. It is just weird. And deeply troubling. 3 Link to comment
