I listened to the audio clip of Donald Trump telling his Las Vegas rally attendees, “I don’t care about you. I just want your vote.” As I heard him utter those words, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of shock, disbelief, and a hint of amusement. Here was a former president, addressing a crowd of his supporters, essentially admitting that he views them as nothing more than a means to an end – a vote. The nonchalant manner in which he delivered this statement, followed by the audience’s laughter, spoke volumes about the dynamics of his relationship with his followers.… Continue reading
What a fool believes: Donald Trump and America’s bogus respect for “faith”: How religious “freedom” has been twisted into an all-out attack on critical thinking and the rule of law.
The manipulation and exploitation of religion in American politics, especially by figures like Phyllis Schlafly and now Donald Trump, is a testimony to the dangerous game being played with the very fabric of our society. Growing up in the church in the 70s, I was shocked to learn how religion was twisted to serve political purposes, alienating millions of Christians and skewing the narrative around issues like abortion and homosexuality. The church, once a diverse voting bloc, has now been appropriated by the GOP to drive their divisive agenda.… Continue reading
From George Orwell’s 1984 to our current political climate, the manipulation of truth seems to be a recurring theme. Trump’s recent denial of ever saying “lock her up” brings to light the dangerous narrative of gaslighting that seems to permeate his political rhetoric. The audacity to deny something that has been clearly documented and seen by millions is not only baffling but also deeply concerning.
The idea that words are mere tools for manipulation rather than conveyors of truth is troubling. The blatant disregard for facts and the attempt to rewrite history in real-time is a tactic that undermines the very fabric of our democratic society.… Continue reading
It’s truly mind-boggling how politicians like Ted Cruz can dance around a simple question about accepting election results. The mental gymnastics they perform to avoid outright committing one way or another is both amusing and disturbing. The implications of refusing to accept election results and undermining the democratic process are chilling. It’s no wonder that Americans are growing increasingly disillusioned with the state of politics in the country.
Cruz’s behavior during the interview where he lost his cool when asked about accepting election results speaks volumes about his character. It’s evident that he is more concerned about pandering to his base and protecting his own political interests rather than upholding the principles of democracy.… Continue reading
It’s truly mind-boggling to see the depths to which Donald Trump will sink in his desperation to maintain control and power. His recent outlandish suggestion that Joe Biden was ready to kill him in a supposed Mar-a-Lago search is just another example of his delusional and manipulative behavior.
We’ve seen this pattern before from Trump – always painting his opponents as the villains, as if they are out to get him in the most extreme ways possible. It’s a tactic straight out of his playbook to create chaos, confusion, and fear among his supporters. By suggesting that Biden was planning his assassination, Trump is laying the groundwork to claim self-defense or justify any extreme actions he may take in the future.… Continue reading
to adapt” while the other group says “No, blame those people over there for your problems and vote for us”. It’s a classic tactic of deflecting blame and stoking division for political gain.
The resentment that many rural white Americans feel is real, but it has been misdirected and manipulated by politicians and conservative media outlets for decades. Instead of addressing the root causes of their economic struggles, they have been fed a steady diet of scapegoats and false promises. The closures of hospitals, the loss of manufacturing jobs, the opioid crisis – these are all complex issues that cannot be solved by blaming immigrants or liberals.… Continue reading
Fake images of Trump with black voters are now circulating, and it seems to be the start of a disturbing trend. The idea that these images are being manipulated to create a false narrative is not only deceitful but also insulting. As a black individual, seeing these fake images of Trump interacting with people of color is not only laughable but also deeply concerning.
It is alarming to think that there are individuals out there who believe that these fake images will sway public opinion. The use of AI to create such images blurs the lines of reality and truth, making it difficult to discern what is genuine and what is fabricated.… Continue reading
The blatant lies and disregard for truth coming from former President Donald Trump never ceases to amaze me. The recent incident involving the family of Ruby Garcia, a murder victim, is a prime example of how Trump manipulates people’s tragedies for his own benefit. Watching live as Trump claimed to have spoken with Ruby’s family, when in reality he had not, is not only shocking but disgusting. It’s time we start calling out Trump for what he truly is – a liar, a manipulator, and a disgrace to any position of power.
Trump’s insensitivity towards the Garcia family is unacceptable. Using their pain and loss as a political prop shows just how low Trump is willing to go for his own gain.… Continue reading
The recent revelation from the Biden Transcript has certainly shed light on some questionable claims made by the Special Counsel regarding the President’s memory. The fact that Biden was never even asked about the timing of his son’s death, yet certain individuals tried to spin it as if he couldn’t remember, raises serious concerns about the credibility and intentions of those involved in the investigation.
It’s evident that there was a clear attempt to discredit President Biden by questioning his memory when, in reality, he immediately recalled the month and day of his son’s death. The manipulation of facts for political gain is not only disheartening but also damaging to the public’s perception of the truth.… Continue reading
In the midst of political speeches and rebuttals, one particular story caught the attention of many individuals – the graphic tale shared by Trump supporter Katie Britt about a 12-year-old who had been raped over 100 times due to sex trafficking. The details provided were distressing, to say the least, and painted a vivid picture of a horrifying situation. However, as further investigation reveals, it appears that Britt may have been caught in a significant lie.
The woman whom Britt spoke about has actually shared her story publicly multiple times, including to Congress. The events she described did not even take place in the United States but rather in Mexico during George W.… Continue reading
