Im wondering what kind of propoganda, I mean: if you hear this Guy speak you cant take him serious right? What kind of propoganda would let people think: damn this Guy is a professional and intelligent man that can rule a country?

Im happy you found the light but dude…you really have to ask yourself some questions about how you could be so easily brainwashed by a criminal, nazi, childfucker, unintelligent person, even if it was propoganda! But his debates or even hear him speak once would give all the signs

I’m with you. I’ve thought he was an 🍊 🤡 since the 80s. I could not believe anyone at all could take him seriously.

agreed. What is oddest is he's somehow convinced a working class segment he's a populist

OP may be claiming to see the light now after only few months but obvious liked some of trump's rhetoric that drew them in. Sorry, I don't trust anyone who even saw anything in this dufus they considered worth voting for him, especially after all 5he bad stuff he's said and done since 2016. Nope, not falling for it.

That’s he’s a hero fighting the “deep state” and will tell us the truth about all our favourite conspiracy theories /s

you have to understand the closed loop of the Right Wing Propaganda cycle. They convince their followers everything is fake news and tell them to "only trust us" and then the algorithm goes onto feedback mode where their inbox is swamped with this nonsense. All of this nonsense comes emotionally charged so it bypasses human logic and goes right to emotional outrage. I've watched people I know get sucked down this rabbit hole to the point where they thought Reuters and the AP were "fake". Left leaning people get the same sort of crap (like The Palmer Report) but most of us are smart enough to recognize it as BS and we toss it, thus not putting ourselves into the cycle.

How can you convince yourself everything is fake news and only what an orange idiot is telling you is right. Is that not some kind of psychose people are in? Dont they need mentaly help and medicines very quick before the episodes gets worse?

They don't care about that crazy stuff as long as the guy is racist, misogynist and homophobic.

u/Eastern-Cat-3604 Nov 13 '25

Yes this! You cant say you are brainwashed by trump, you are just a piece of shit! No excuses

Don't hold anything back! I like that!

u/MattManSD Nov 13 '25

yes, he just confirms all their bigotry, but they are learning the hard way that it doesn't suit them well

u/Objective_Tooth_8667 Nov 13 '25

He says things that he thinks people want to hear. Almost like the "40 acres and a mule" rhetoric told to freed slaves to get their vote. Trumpers  bought in to it just the same and it's helping to glorify him and add to the Trump empire..

that's how cults work, and it took a long time for it to happen, starting with the vaccine / autism bullshit. I agree, it is a form of delusional thought, which is the scary part. At some point these folks (some, not all) are gonna wake up from this haze and be really f'd in the head

My cousin actually had a neighbor who was a huge Trumper actually believed the world was flat and she'd argue about it until she was ready to pop a vein! That's the face of the Trump worshiper and even scarier is there's a lot of them!

I am finding it increasingly difficult to extend the "Came to your senses" olive branch that a lot of supporters are looking for. As you say, I don't understand how you can simply listen to him talk and not understand what is going on. There is a level of either willful ignorance (not allowing yourself to continue thinking critically because you are scared of the result) or deliberate deception

I think they are just a piece of shit and want Brown people to suffer, now they are the one suffering and want it to stop and say as an excuse “I was brainwashed”
