5. Let's be clear, by endorsing this site, Trump is legitimizing these ideas and energizing the people behind them

In a Saturday night tweet, Trump attacked CNN, saying the networks international division represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly. A few minutes later, Trump tweeted an alternative: MagaPill.com.
The name MagaPill is a riff on red pill, a term popular with white nationalists and others on the far right. A metaphor based on a plot line from The Matrix, it refers to the process of normalizing extreme views. MagaPill is also active on Gab, a social network favored by white nationalist and banned from the Google app store violating its hate speech policy.
But while Trump presents MagaPill as the antidote to fake news, the site regularly traffics in unhinged conspiracy theories. Just a few hours before being endorsed by Trump, MagaPill posted a video from Liz Crokin, a fringe figure best known for pushing the Pizzagate conspiracy. In the video, Crokin claims there is a sex tape of Hillary Clinton with an underage girl on Anthony Weiners laptop.........................................

We are in deep, deep Doo-Doo.

(51,591 posts)Focus on Dem priorities like the Tax Scam vote and resisting it by calling the senators who are on the fence like McCain, Heller, Moran, Young, Collins, Flake, Murkowski, Corker and Johnson. (202)224-3121...the Senate.

(40,416 posts)But Drumpf is still fucking barking mad!!!
Saying so does not detract from the activism. In fact, they go together. Otherwise one is treating Drumpf as a normal presidency, which he clearly is not.
I respectfully reject your premise that one cannot do both.
Drumpf deserves only ridicule. The more, the better.

(51,591 posts)I just want us to focus more of our energies on the emergency at hand right now...the Tax Scam. We must delay the vote as our priority for this moment in time.

Your presumption that ridicule is all one is doing doesn't make much sense. Sorry.
Thanks for your response.
My best to you.

(19,201 posts)who is attempting to totally undermine Democracy. This is an attack on the 1st amendment, the basis of our system of government. His attacks of "fake news" are designed to push people away from honest journalism and steer it toward hard core, right-wing, conspiracy theory bullshit sites that further rot the minds of Americans. They serve to further bolster the public's confidence that anything other than these ridiculous right-wing websites is not worth their time.
Some may call it Trump's madness, but there's method to his madness, and it's not only dishonest, it's extremely dangerous. Trump is not stopping his full out assault on our Democracy, and he won't, right up until he's removed from office. He sees himself as someone who's greasing the rails of Steve Bannon's grand plan to turn our country into a right-wing dictatorship.
I - for one - will do anything in my power to make sure they're not successful in their endeavors. All it will take for them to succeed is for people to do nothing.

(22,976 posts)Thats precisely why he does so well with middle-aged white men with no higher education. To them, he sounds smart, and he must be smart to do this and that, etc. And he is their mouthpiece, spouting white rage at POC on his supporters behalf.
His psychopathology is maddening. He hangs onto just enough threads to keep his shtick going. No doubt hes spent most of his life covering his ass against legitimate grievances, to the point where its an auto-mode for him.
The most sobering question: Is there ANYTHING he could do that would make his supporters abandon him? Anything at all? I fear the answer is No.

(49,001 posts)When you look at the archived list (http://archive.is/ibrI7 , not the dog awful site) it includes half-baked stuff like "House passes tax bill" and unbaked stuff this one:
Trump: 'We are stopping cold the attacks on Judeo-Christian values' which links to https://archive.is/erPx5 (archived CNN article) ...
... in which it is revealed that tRump made a statement. Yes, a statement ... in a speech.
