I did not realize it at the time, but that caravan really drilled deep down into my subconscious and is messing with me big time for what it has really made me realize about white America.
It has also shown me that those of us who do really care about AMERICAN Democracy have greatly misunderstood the MAGA movement and to our entire nation's detriment. And I mean everybody all across the board, except those that are MAGA.
The danger is because these cult members, and they are in a cult and that is not hyperbole, ether, believe every single word that comes out of Trump's mouth and that is above all else.
No one can persuade them otherwise either and Trump KNOWS this. He KNOWS these people hang on to every word he utters and believe every word he utters is true. This is why facts, or all the fact-checking and correcting do not matter nor do any good. It is useless.
For example, I yelled at one of the assholes I was next to, "Yeah, fuck the military, the suckers and losers." And his reply was how I believed everything I read. Well, this information comes from Trump's former REPUBLICAN chief of staff and former Marine Commandant John Kelly and they believe he is the liar and that Trump never said these things - just because Trump said he didn't. And it goes on and on.
Even video and audio do not matter to these cult members and we need to truly treat them as cult members and this includes those from all walks of life, sadly, this will not happen.
And right now, MAGA is again preparing the "stop the steal" horseshit and Trump is aiding by making all these outlandish claims he is leading, he won the debate, he is up in the polls and so on - HE FUCKING KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING and is doing it well and those that could ensure more is done to defeat him, are not doing it - the media is oblivious to it and blind to it (though, I really do think there is something going on within the corporate arm of the media as to what role the talking heads are allowed to take regarding this - I believe they have bee told to bend over backward to MAGA to appear to be "fair").
The weakening of our institutions is another aspect of it - just state they are corrupt, can't be trusted, and so on, and come election day, look the fuck out.
