(1,575 posts)if the Washington Post is counting all the lies from his campigning. People are tired of hearing him. I also wonder if that is why he had to pay people to come to the rallies.

(15 posts)What they have instead, is conditioned reflexes: ever since 9/11 the Republican party has been training them to grunt out stupid slogans by reflex, when specific cue-words, on command:
This began with that idiotic "U-S-A! U-S-A!" grunt, and has advanced to the point where the utterance of specific names cues specific grunts:
For example, the "lock her up!" grunt which is a conditioned response to the names "Hillary Clinton" and/or "Gretchen Whitmer."
Fully half of Trump's "base" have the cognitive capacity/memory retention of a cracked-out rhesus monkey.
The rest of his "base" consists of a what Hillary(accurately) termed "deplorables" - ideologically-motivated racists, xenophobes, sexists, etc.
TL;DR: they're probably too stupid to be able to "believe" anything one way or the other.

Donald J. Trump remarks in Green Bay
Here we stand
Like an Adam and an Eve
Waterfalls
The Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
The birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them
From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it's nothing but flowers
There was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
You got it, you got it
We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got something for dinner
We got it, we got it
There was a shopping mall
Now it's all covered with flowers
You've got it, you've got it
If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
You've got it, you've got it
Years ago
I was an angry young man
And I'd pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With a beautiful highway
This used to be real estate
Now it's only fields and trees
Where, where is the town
Now, it's nothing but flowers
The highways and cars
Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we'd start over
But I guess I was wrong
Once there were parking lots
Now it's a peaceful oasis
You've got it, you've got it
This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies
You got it, you got it
I miss the honky tonks,
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
You got it, you got it
And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention
You got it, you got it
I dream of cherry pies,
Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
You got it, you got it
We used to microwave
Now we just eat nuts and berries
You got it, you got it
This was a discount store,
Now it's turned into a cornfield
You've got it, you've got it
Don't leave me stranded here
I can't get used to this lifestyle

(2,336 posts)that he'd put all the christians in concentration camps -- didn't happen but my relatives still hung onto that belief. They are sheeple, learning at their church how to think.
Should the word christians be capitalized? I couldn't decide.
