MSNBC: Trump's bold vision: Make America Hide Under the Bed Again
MSNBC ^ | July 22, 2016 | Steve Benen

Posted on 07/22/2016 6:01:35 AM PDT by Zakeet

Fear is a powerful instinct. Fear is so potent, and the innate drive to protect one’s self from harm is so overpowering, that it can override almost every other instinct, including those related to intellect and judgment.

Which is why Donald Trump desperately wants to frighten you.

The obvious problem with the Republican presidential nominee’s convention speech last night is that it was less a speech and more a series of strung together scary falsehoods.

[Snip]

Trump wants you to be afraid of criminals. And immigrants. And Democrats. And refugees. And government regulations. And quite possibly the monster that could be hiding under your bed.

In fact, as far as the Republican presidential candidate is concerned, the United States is already a dystopian hellscape, where the sun no longer shines, where few can experience joy, and where all hope is lost.

But don’t worry, Donald J. Trump can make America great again.

Just don’t ask him how.

I didn’t see anybody at the convention wearing black ISIS masks to cover their faces except for the protesting liberal snowflakes outside the convention hall.

Why are all of these anti-Trump articles being posted? If we can’t have posters on here who are anti-Trump, then why post so many anti-Trump articles?

“Dystopian” must have been the Journ-O-list word of the day.

Almost all of the media lemmings are using it.

It is very clear... Trump learned a lot from Democrats over the past 40 years. This is what scares the media: He is the best at this. Trump knows they have won the White House with fear (those evil Republicans are going to...). They are getting a taste of their own medicine by someone way out of better than them at it.

I wonder what it’s like to always hear what you want to hear instead of what others say. Seems like it can make for some pretty awkward situations.

Every payday must suck when you realize you didn’t get that huge raise the boss promised when he talked to you about starting to get to work on time and doing your job instead of playing solitaire all day.

If the freakout is this bad today, just imagine when he’s running ahead in the polls in October.

The media is our enemy. They are very afraid the corruption will stop.

The Left think everything is wonderful under Obama and Hillary as they all support Leftism. They cannot fathom that the reality is we’re in decline and the majority of Americans are upset, thus they paint this movement as negative, negative because it goes against their liberal beliefs and against their candidate Hillary.
