Is Trump MAGA's Daddy?

I couldn't watch the whole thing, it is that creepy. But MAGA supporters praised it as a brilliant speech. Fascism at its finest. 

Yeah I couldn’t watch the whole thing either. Wondering if he was talking about Harris getting the spanking. Him saying Walz couldn’t be trusted to watch kids got me – I would trust Walz to watch my kids but I sure wouldn’t Trust Tucker. Cheers and happy weekend!

He's not the only one I wouldn't trust.

I figure Trump is the kind of guy that would use a child for a shield while wishing he had 2 kids for extra protection. But Walz seems like the kind of guy that would protect a kid with his life. But if he was going to watch my kids I would warn him that he can teach my kids some social studies but nothing about football because they are hockey players. Cheers and happy weekend!

Good to set boundaries right away.

MAGA supporters have a relatively low bar for what is brilliant.

Why the rude comment? If her stepkids call her that, it has nothing to do with anyone outside her family. I was referring to a crowd of Trump supporters calling him Daddy.

I have heard some of her supporters refer to her as their Momala and Walz as their Dad Coach. 

Why is it a rude comment? It is a term she uses. I actually think it is a cute play on her name for her step kids. But weird for others, same for anyone referring to any politician as their parent. This post was edited by my2cents at October 25, 2024 6:21 PM MDT

 I have not heard either term used by supporters, but perhaps I missed it. I have heard them call Walz Coach.

I took it as rude, because you didn't address the topic and decided to make a flippant comment instead. Even if you heard her supporters calling her that, the context entirely different than the topic I posted.

This speech was creepy to me, but the crowd's reaction and on-line comments were highly supportive. It would have been nice to get insight from someone who supports the MAGA movement. Perhaps to explain how this is or isn't indicative of authoritarianism. 

I did address the topic. I said Trump is not my Daddy. 

I just did not attack Tucker you wanted.  I am not a Tucker fan. I didn't watch him back when I still watch FOX. (He is not there anymore either)

I looked up the speech and he was making an analogy comparing the Biden/Harris Administration to a misbehaving teenager girl who flips you off, slams the bedroom door.  When Dad (Trump) gets home. (The election comes) You (Biden/Harris) are getting a spanking.  (Trump is winning the election) 

I think Tucker is smart enough to know the undertones that the analogy would have and should have changed it a little.  But Tucker being self employed now, likely figured publicity is good for him and his show. This post was edited by my2cents at October 26, 2024 4:53 AM MDT

I don't know what speech you had to look up since I embedded the entire actual speech in my description. 

I watched the entire speech and I disagree with your interpretation. At 16:55,  Carlson explicitly says he is not referring to Harris. He was referring to Democrats in general and saying that Trump will punish them for what they have done to the country.

IMO, this is a speech promising an authoritarian leader who will suppress those who oppose his views. I call this fascism. 

No. The speech you posted very edited by what looks like Entertainment Tonight.  It doesn't even start until 2:00 into his speech and then cuts to the Walz watching kids which is 9 mins into it. It cuts 7 mins out of it. 


Also he is referring to "not Harris but the Democrat machine" at 15:25. Harris/Walz are cutouts.....
This is the full unedited speech:

Call it whatever you want. The Democrat machine. If they cheat.... cheaters will be punished.   As they should.  That is not fascism.  That is ensuring election integrity.  

The video I posted does not appear to be 'heavily edited '. It starts with a couple minutes of highlights, then has the whole speech. It is 2 minutes longer than your video,  not 7 minutes shorter. ET is the Economic Times, not Entertainment Tonight.

I still strongly disagree with your interpretation, but that's what discussions are for. To me, it is clearly about installing a dictator to ensure the MAGA view is the only acceptable view. This post was edited by Jane S at October 26, 2024 9:46 AM MDT

Watch them both.  I watched less than a minute of yours and and seen two obvious cuts, you can see the video cuts...so I stopped and looked for the actual full speech. 

As I said your video starts at 2 minutes into the speech and then jumps to the part about Walz and kids....that is 9 mins into the speech.  

Forbes has the entire unedited speech.  And after listening to it completely,  I have not problem with Tuckers analogy.  You have to correct problems. Whether with your children or your government.  This post was edited by my2cents at October 26, 2024 2:06 PM MDT

Again, the first 2 minutes are excerpts from the rest of the speech.

Of course you can see edits, they posted a couple clips, then the full unedited speech. If it were edited, it would be shorter than your version, not longer. If you don't believe me, then watch the video.You will see that after the 2 minutes of highlights, they are exactly the same I watched both to make sure I wasn't missing anything. I get that you missed it the first time, but I assure you, I was not trying to trick you with a doctored video and I don't appreciate you not even checking what I  explained to you, before repeating it wasn't the full speech.

I believe he was talking about the American people. He told the crowd how they were actually the  'gentle, tolerant majority' and that the rest of us 'nasty, aggressive people' would get put in our place. It was a paternalistic analogy depicting the leader of the country as a judgmental, abusive parent. Classic fascism.

I didn't make it to a minute...seen the edited and shut it off.  I will take your word that the rest is unedited after the 2 minutes.  But I will not give them another view or click. 

In context Tucker was fine....he should have left the final part about the child getting a spanking more general, because he should be smart enough to know the soundbites coming.

No, he clearly says the "Democrat machine" that is the party leaders the money people behind the scenes.  Even that Harris and Walz are just cutouts playing their part interchangeable.    So no, not the American people in general.   This post was edited by my2cents at October 26, 2024 2:47 PM MDT
