You know, I think, that Old School lives here with me as a roommate. My point is, since this happened, The TRUMP election, we both have tried to figure out how a huge group of individuals, many who are not retarded, could come to listen to this moron and accept his word as gospel.
I guess there is a mob mentality; there is a group hypnosis and OS has all kinds of books on cognitive thought regarding how groups are affected in large numbers and often do the unthinkable. So, what I think the bottom line is, -- people who follow insane leaders are totally unconscious. They are not brain dead, but they act as a whole and follow certain codes to keep the tribe together. My words: They are like a lynch mob, unconscious and acting as a whole. But these people have not come to their senses, because there is not a new SHERIFF in town to break the mob up.
This is the only explicable reason I can come up with for this INSANE behavior and it is very compelling. While it is terrifying to hear people shout HILLARY IS THE DEVIL and Trump is GOD with absolutely NO evidence, it also may give a key to how to stop them.
Not sure if the answer is there yet, but we are not dealing with logic or any sense of values or integrity. They are hypnotized, brainwashed, and somehow, they keep mouthing the same lies to themselves despite the obvious truths to the contrary.
There are no truths they recognize. Only Trump. Only ADOLPH the racist despot.
They are following an insane ruler because they are also partially insane or totally. I won't rule out totally.
People are drawn to what they want to hear. Or what is expedient. Truth is that which we choose to accept, not always allied with fact or reality.
