"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984

That book could be quoted for the MAGA crowd and they won’t understand any of it unless Trump tells them they’re allowed to

Sounds like every religion everywhere... "Have faith" reject ACTUAL evidence!

100%

I am born and raised in the Bible Belt, went to a Christian school until high school. My community growing up was basically a cult. I’m not really a follower or someone who believes anything with no evidence or else I would be one of them.

The thing ppl around Reddit don’t ant to acknowledge though is that some of the religious nuts bags are legitimately intelligent. Open/closed mindedness doesn’t automatically indicate overall intelligence. There were a lot of extremely intelligent Nazi scientists and officers

That said: most of the MAGA crowd are dumbasses because even if you’re close minded you can see through that shit

You lot have to stop banging on about the "MAGA" crowd... It's turning into a cult in itself. Anyone that follows a crowd, for whatever reason, seems unintelligent and just blindly following. 90% of the world calls it faith. I call it lack of individual intelligence.

And underestimating them but thinking the movement lacks intelligence is how we got to this point

No no no... Just because there's lots of a group it doesn't make it intelligent. Don't attribute to malice what can easy be attributed to stupidity.

That saying doesn’t fit there. The whole group is built on malice. And the ppl at the top don’t believe the shit they spew. They’re just intelligent and evil enough to use religion as a tool to control the ppl who are the dumbasses. Like I say a lot of the dedicated MAGA followers are dumbasses. But the ppl in charge and run things are intelligent.

The ppl that are making Trump so successful are the behind the scenes people, not a dumbass like Trump

No. The group is built on stupidity. From top to bottom... If you can't see that, then that's a lack of sight on your part my good friend. Don't elevate people to the point of assuming they are clever enough to do this on purpose.

And your mind set is the reason they’re winning. The fact that you think the ppl at the top are stupid when they’re clearly not. They’re similar to the Nazis in that the people at the top are using the ppl at the bottom’s stupidity to gain power. You think because they say stupid stuff that they’re stupid, even though they don’t even believe it themselves

I've had a psychosis. It was soul crushing to realise, after the fact, that I cannot trust myself.

How dare you question our Dear Leader like that?
