Trump Wants You To Snap to Attention

Post by Kishkumen »

Conversation between Trump and Steve Doocy:

Doocy: Are we close to having Mr. Kim [Jong Un] at the Whitehouse?

Trump: Uh, could happen, I mean . . . .

Doocy: They talked about that yesterday?

Trump: Yeah, I think that’s something that could happen. Hey, he’s the head of a country, and I mean he’s the strong head.

Doocy: Mhmm . . .

Trump: Don’t let anyone think different.

Doocy: Sure

Trump: He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.

We all know Trump wants to be a dictator. This is one of those times where he admits it. He also wants to have those Moscow-type military parades. Your suggestion of Trump taking the Emperor Seat in a gladiatorial arena was spot on.

It baffles me that Trump voters do not see this. It is so bleeding obvious. Or maybe some want it? I can’t imagine wanting it.

The first time I heard Miller being interviewed, my first thought was how proud Joseph Goebbels would have been of Miller, if he had been alive to hear that interview!
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

I do not believe a Trump presidency means the end of democracy. I think it means a 10% chance of the end of democracy, and the worst case scenario is still far from North Korea. A 10% chance is a lot, if I think I have a 10% chance of getting killed on the way to the airport, then I'm steering clear of the airport.

It sounds silly speculating on where we'll end up on the North Korea scale, and I don't think we'll ever be far enough on that scale that it's meaningful to speculate about it except in one way, the way born of the WS phenomena. Yes, the farthest gone see it and they want it. But they don't want it because they really want it, they want it because their existence feels so pointless that all they have left is an identity war and shock value.

And so in this way, it is realistic to think about how Kim Jong Un might influence Donald Trump because "being like Kim Jong Un" is a great way to fire up his base. Yes, they see it, and yes, they want more of it. And so prepare for more of these kinds of antics to score points with WS types.

Here's a prediction along these lines. In North Korea, everyone is required by law to have a picture of Kim Jong Un and his fathers in their house, and it must be cared for, and police can inspect the care of the photographs and make arrests if the they aren't cared for properly. Sounds a whole lot like laws requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed. Republicans are already copy-catting.

At some point during the next Trump Presidency, there will be a serious effort by a few state governments, or by congress or even floated by Trump himself, to mandate every home in America display a picture of Donald Trump. This will be a serious effort by someone, and there will be lots of time spent on ideas of how to enforce it and what kind of penalties. Maybe it could be digital for ease of monitoring? I give it low chances of being successful, but it's such an obvious stunt to pull that I have a really hard time believing somebody won't put their name in lights with a serious effort to make this a law.

If/when Trump leaves office after his 4 year term would that change your mind on this idea?

What on earth makes you think he'll leave office in 4 years if he get's his way? What in the history of Trump's life could possibly lead you to believe he will willingly leave the office? The only other time he had the opportunity to leave gracefully, he kicked and whined like a baby that he'd been cheated.

What the “F” does he need to do before Trump sycophants wake the “F” up?

I know Trump fans can't possibly all be morons, but man, it's hard to find the evidence.
