In the Trump era many have forgotten that Democrats and the mass media demonize all Republican candidates.
I remember when McCain was so sure the mass media would give him a pass after years of favorable coverage—and then he got stabbed in the back over and over and over again....
Our enemies give us no quarter.
To keep winning we must give them no quarter—no matter who our candidate is.
The 24/7 PA system in Jonestown is designed to make it so that you cannot think.
Also, what we call ”mass media” is really just media from New York City, isn’t it?
True. 24 hour “Jonestown” media. Nice way to put it.
But I also agree with the author's point that a lot of the unhinged hatred for Trump may stem from a lack of respect or hatred of their parents, particularly their father. Or perhaps an absent father.
And even people in younger generations who had fathers in their lives, they were still subject to 24/7 projections of men as evil, incompetent, or untrustworthy. Look at how men have been portrayed for decades in things like "family" shows. For all the praise we give Tim Allen for being a conservative, if we admit, even his most famous show, Home Improvement, portrayed the father of the family as the idiot who's always having to learn life lessons from everybody else, including the wife and kids.
I wouldn't be surprised if that cultural undermining of men makes it easier for the left to take the next step on Trump and truly hate him.
Right on point, Tell It Right. Thanks. Glad you saw that. It’s huge!
Good points.
There are cultures that are more matriarchal in nature, aren’t there?
The weak, effeminate man of this cultural outlook sounds like what you describe.
A lot of words to say “President Trump, you magnificent bastard! I read your book!”
And you STILL put in a clickbait link to your blog.
I hate blog pimps - just the same I’m happy to say I voted for Trump all 3 times he has run.
Mostly because
1) He is *not* a lifelong professional politician, something that infests our government at every level.
2)He is *not* a lawyer - something else that infests our government at every level.

Looks like it might be in Las Vegas.
No doubt
Oh, no he didn't!!!
I am planning to read this later. Q: is this author pro-Trump or a never Trumper?
The author is pro-Trump. I voted for him three times
Yes and Yes
Can you explain what a “clickbait link” means? The article is much longer that what I could post here. And when we post, the form asks for our website. So what would you have me do?
...and no, there’s a lot here that isn’t covered in The Art of the Deal. Did you read it all?
What is a “blog pimp”? I read something similar from another commenter. I’m not getting this. I have a blog. I write posts. Sometimes I post them here. When I fill out the form here to post, it asks where the article is coming from. Am I missing something?
Nice pic! There you go!
