Thoughts? I've been seeing this quite often lately. It's it strange to worship a politician and give them your undivided loyalty?

It's strange on both sides.
Trump is a non-politician gameshow host business guy yank. He's not the most vile evil criminal mastermind in history, nor is he a God-savior.
People take things, like his many investigations and trials and take it as they want.
Either it's a) a sign he is under fire from a witch hunt or b) he is guilty and somehow a much bigger criminal than anyone else in Washington.
I lean more towards A, although I bet on truth from both ends. I don't think he's perfectly innocent or has great morals -- but I also can not believe for a second somehow all these trials are only because he's just that bad and that much more corrupt than everyone else.
That's idiotic. Washington is full of these people, who come in empty-pocketed and *ALL* end up millionaires in a handful of years with salaries under $200K. All the Trump haters who act like he's worse or guilty all the time, just hate-ons and really no better than the subject of this thread, the types who think Trump walks on Water.
He's an outsider and a potential threat to their corrupt way of life. Not necessarily because he's going to drain the swamp, but maybe just because he isn't part of the team. I don't know. That is clearly why he is so under fire, from both parties, and has been from the start. They don't want their gravy train to stop, they don't ever want their own many crimes and corruption to come to light, that is all it is.All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Agree with this -- save the last tagline. Perot was legit, something I didn't realize until later in hindsight.
I will also notice, while he wasn't as obnoxious or full of himself as Trump, the media and system also treated him as if he were a clownish joke to be laughed at. How was he so much worse than Bill Clinton or Bush, again?All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

I can agree with this.
I would also add, pretending they are not criminals, engaging in criminal activity with their degenerate sons and family, pretending it's okay when they tell their staff to destroy their cell phones, etc...
A lot of people engage in just outright stupidity when it comes to these people. Derplington had the right of it -- worshiping any of these people, as both sides do, is ridiculous.All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

A poster here did, from their own testimony. They can come forward and say who if they want, although this person does not post often.
However, I do gotta say... circa 2016 they were very upset about Trump and constantly seething about him, which -- it's not healthy, people. I get it, he's "the other guy" and the media and your team makes him out to be the worst thing ever. Just as FOX and whoever does with Biden and the Democrats. Wife was fuking watching Fox last night, I told her to shut that chit off - I could feel my blood pressure rising, it's just constant Fear and Hate and trying everything to make people upset.
Anyway, that poster -- he's good now. Very calm poster. Polite, respectful and still leaning left but seems so much more adjusted and better off.All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

I think flying flags and thinking every negative story is a witch hunt is much different kind of worship.
Take Biden for example, there's zero proof he's done anything illegal. He's obviously a terrible father, his kids are totally messed up. He's a demented old fool that should have bowed out long ago. His handling of the border has been a disaster.
You'll never hear a person who worships Trump ever say anything like that. The most they'll say is they disagree on the vax or maybe Ukraine support.Early AM workout crew.

Those boat rallies looked fkn fun. Would love to be there, not because of dRummpphhh but because I love the water, am an avid boater and love socialization and women in bikinis. I mean, you gotta admit, they looked like a great time (minus the sinking boat).
I bet if you joined one of those rallies, you'd actually crack a smile.
This. Never been to a single political rally, displayed any political sign ever. However, I will still be voting straight R on the ballot not because I'm voting for R's but because I'm voting against fascist lefties. I was a never dRummphhher in 2016 and ultimately held my nose and checked Trump on the ballot because of how awful Hiliary and the lefties became. It was even easier to do this is 2020 and now I cannot wait to check his name off. Again, not for Trump, but against all these far left fascist commies.Last edited by SaltyDog920; 04-25-2024 at 01:23 PM.

Define proof. Guy's current net worth is over $10m, which skyrocketed once he became VP. Son selling art for 1/2m, sitting on the board of some company in Ukraine that Joe openly admitted he threatened to cut off aid if the prosecutor looking into them wasn't fired.
He hasn't gone to trial and been proven anything -- and never will. Same as the Bushs, Clintons, Romneys and pretty much everyone else in Washington that shows up and becomes rich millionaires, with under $200k/year salaries.
At least Trump got his wealth prior to office (and I do not think anyone could earn what Trump did on the pure up and up, either; never mind the bull**** scammy stuff like Trump U or whatever it was).
Good to see you point out how flawed Biden is, though. IMO, if someone is truly happy with the direction of the country in the past four years, vs 2016-2020, yeah vote for him. I don't think it's as big a difference as some people make it, but vote for whoever you want.
I just dislike the aggrandizing or playing stupid games people do when it comes to politics, something you stepped away from a good bit with your post, good to see.All truth passes through three stages.
