Anthony Scaramucci: The Left Should 'Deprogram' Trump Supporters Like They're in a 'Cult'
Newsweek ^ | August 18, 2019 | Jason Lemon

Posted on 08/18/2019 7:03:47 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Anthony Scaramucci says that the political left should view the president's loyal supporters as members of a cult that need to be deprogrammed.

During an Fox News interview Sunday with Howard Kurtz, the one-time White House director of communications warned, "We recognize that the president is a clear and present danger to the American society—the American culture,"

"There are many people inside the White House and in the Cabinet. I would ask the left to... create an off-ramp for those people," he added. "Because when you're trying to deprogram people from a cult, one of the first things you have to do is allow them to change their mind."

This guy is great for a vertically changed type. His rant is just heartwarming to see. Imagine sitting in Rusty’s tavern in flyover country with working men and women, and jumping out of your chair hollering “Right on” as this crap plays on the tv above the bar. Happy Hours over mooch.

...equivalent of the Communist re-education camps....
___________
But no counseling for homosexuals or pedophiles. And encouraging children to accept their innate biological sexual identity is evil.

Not to mention that *deprogramming* turned out not to work. It was a big deal in 1970s. Were laws ever passed against it? I can’t recall.

The conundrum: Trump support is not a *cult*, so any *deprogramming* will have zero effect.

It may go the opposite way for followers of the various prog inculcations. IDK. I doubt it, since so many cannot be reached with logic and reason and that is the method used to deprogram. The true believer is shown logical inconsistencies and outright lies, then their minds reject the cognitive dissonance and they are freed.

NOW, of course, the progs will embrace Mooch.

I wonder if Scaramucci got blackballed and is trying to turn his fortunes by criticizing Trump?

This attention whore Scaramucci was on “Celebrity Big Brother” not that long ago. He was voted out first.

I wish someone would use this fake Italian’s a$$ as a their own personal soccer ball.

Same people who have been buying the Bush League Republicans for decades.

They haven’t given up on making US into North Mexico.

My theory is that the mooch pinched one-too-many asses around the WH and was asked to pack up his crap and go away.

Per Wiki

Scaramucci’s first marriage was to Lisa Miranda. They separated in 2011 after 23 years of marriage, and their divorce was finalized in 2014.

His second marriage is with Deidre Ball. Ball worked in investor relations for SkyBridge Capital until Scaramucci sold the firm. The couple first dated in 2011 and married on July 11, 2014, after having their first child together in early 2014. Scaramucci and Ball separated in early 2017.

Ball filed for divorce from Scaramucci in early July 2017 when she was eight or nine months pregnant with their second child, to whom she gave birth on July 24, 2017, but she dropped the divorce case on November 29, 2017.

The couple worked out their marital problems and in September 2018 began a Radio.com podcast titled “Mooch and the Mrs.”, in which they discuss their world view from opposite political stances, while managing their relationship.

Scaramucci has five children: three with Lisa Miranda and two with Deidre Ball.

Scaramucci sounds like an unhinged Red Guard. For sure, he is opposed to free speech.

No, this is a NY thing. We Texans can’t imagine playing these idiotic games, but Manhattanite Masters o’ the Universe, with their billions, cooped up on that tiny island with unlimited uncut cocaine, this is their daily grind.

This explains his political flip flop. He doesn’t get laid unless he agrees with his wife. His small head is thinking.

“they discuss their world view from opposite political stances, while managing their relationship.”

Plus he wanted to bed Kim Guilfoyle but Don Jr beat him to the punch.

This is what happens when you’re high profile and run out of income.

You lie for money.

Scaramucci was apparently only Trump’s buddy when he thought he could use him to push through the sale to the Chinese of his hedge fund.

Take away his ability to sell his hedge fund to an enemy of our State, and the guy shows us his true colors.
