[@dane9093]

because Trump hurts their feelings

[@1400IntruderVS]

Because people have become less self reliant as technology fills their idle minds with less useful ideas. Fewer people exercise their ability to actually observe and comprehend events and information. That which you do not exercise will atrophy. As generations are fed interpretations over being compelled to comprehend for themselves ,the population is being programmed to behave as desired by the designs of those indoctrinating them. Mass multimedia and academia have become fantastic tools from which to program people and then exploit the weakness of the emotional confusion that is incited by their frustrated ignorance. Governance through the exploitation of social contagions ,the people subscribe to a psychosis that justifies their lack of comprehension. Secured by their own self importance and self loathing. A depression that is sadly narcissistic.

This is exemplified by the whole "live YOUR truth" nonsense that basically makes each person the God of their world and ONLY THEIR feelings (not yours) matter and objective, scientifically proven truth is a "social construct."

Its a fair question. In fact, the idea of making the country great seems worthy and aspirational. But take a closer look. Trump has always been a genius marketer. He was never interested in public service. He's a grifter, and entertainer, a branding expert. When it came to running for President, he recognized the power and esteem of Reagan's original slogan. However, unlike Reagan Trump's own belief-sets had NOTHING to do with actually making the country great or supporting the constitution. It had to do with amassing personal power. He took the Make America Great slogan...added the word 'Again' set out to use it like a Trojan horse to sneak back into the country's consciousness to play upon the hopes and dreams of millions of conservatives. And unlike Reagan, Trump boldly used this slogan as an excuse for people to point fingers...first: at selected minority groups as a way to dangerously channel our deepest fears and anger. Then, after that he used the slogan to point fingers at one another! No politician in history had ever made such blatantly racist statements as a way to launch their campaign like Trump when he attacked Mexicans by calling most of them 'rapists and murderers'. It was a breathtaking move that signaled a new era and tone for politics. In one fell swoop, Trump had given millions of people permission to hate and despise..to feed off their anger all while hiding behind the nostalgic and sacred slogan: Make America Great Again! This is why when Trump says it, its a problem.

People getting closer, just to reduce some tension. Wait, does it sound ridiculous when I say it that way? Oh, it sounds a bit ridiculous when YOU say it YOUR way as well.

Missed opportunity there at the end to inform the student that she was expressing HER opinion about what the MAGA campaign stood for, and she should examine where she got that false narrative. A chance to make her and other students think.

[@SimonASNG]

That is because this professor is only reasonable by comparison with these students. He is still a lefty with many of the same biases that the kids have. After watching a number of his videos expecting him to challenge some of these premises, I can tell you that he never does. He never disagrees with the premise that the hat means racism, etc. He is only challenging the idea that the kid wearing a symbol of racism doesn't mean he was intentionally blocking the native American on the steps. He is careful to avoid pointing out that the black group are a black supremacy group that call for the killing of white people and jews, etc. He is not really on your side on this one.

[@edmondhuot4626]

Trump's team has managed to spin the former president’s legal woes into campaign-strategy gold. Its less about winning or losing (which in fact he does quite often). An analysis by the Associated Press found that over 30 of the lawsuits brought by Trump’s campaign and allies were rejected or dropped out of the roughly 50 filed in the wake of the 2020 presidential election. Its really more abut the PR power that he leverages in campaigning as the 'lone warrior' up against 'the deep state'...This made-up narrative is an effective ploy to amass millions in donations and public sympathy. Its a great story and Trump, if he's anything at all ...is an amazing storyteller and marketer.

So am I to understand that the lad was supposed to know this chanting man intended for him to move so he could walk up the stairs? Chanting man had only one path up the stairs... and the lad happened to be in his way? See here in the US we have a way of handling that. Its called asking for permission to pass through another's personal space. Usually something like "pardon me" or "mind if I sneak past you here?" Its simple, effective, considered good etiquette and VERY common. So chanting man for some reason feels entitled to not follow social norms? He feels that the lad should read his mind? Silly. Very silly.

[@TheDogLife5225]

I would love the message on the hat with or without Trump. I consider " Make America Great Again" to be an all inclusive idealogy, meaning everyone is equal. Everyone has the same opportunities. Everyone is entitled to job opportunities with a roof over their head, food on the table, safe schools and neighborhoods.
