Ah, the cult propaganda line hardens. "THAT LOOK! That look means he'll destroy anyone who stands against him!"
No, that look means he's a cartoon villain who can't handle reality.
@RationalLeft the spin zone crew have been working nonstop on this all week!
@SentinelOfTruth Of course. And his "look" was planned with that in mind.
But as is often the case, they're spinning the unspinnable, except for the base that will believe anything he says anyway. And he looks ludicrous to anyone that doesn't already think he's superhuman.
@RationalLeft But that's the problem, isn't it? We have a true to life cult of personality on our hands.
The argument that is always falls to Hilter/Nazis which makes for a weak argument, belabors the fact that Hilter was beloved and his followers saw no fault in him (on his rise). We have Actual American Republicans using the Nazi playbook for their "Champion" in 2023.
There's a point where we all have to just accept there's a sector of this nation beyond redemption, and move on.
@SentinelOfTruth Fundamentally, yes. A third of the country (or so) is totally committed to a fascist cult. We outnumber them, and will have to defeat them. We won't win them over. Generational change will likely help shrink their size. But they're not going to change.
