People will always believe someone who tells them what they want to hear.
Remember that because it is a fundamental rule of human nature and that's how dictators get created.
A dictator doesn't have ethics about what they say other than "Does this make me look good, get me more praise, get me laid, make me richer, or thwart my enemies?"
Also, here's another fundamental rule about human nature:
People hate uncertainty because uncertainty creates fear and people hate their own fear more than anything else because their fear is their emotional response to threats -real, perceived, or imagined - to their survival or welfare of themselves and their family.
==========
So, when a person who is mentally and emotionally lacking (*) but is worried about the future, all the leader has to say is "I have an answer!" and, as long as that answer is something that person wants to hear, that person will agree with it whether or not the answer the leader gave is correct or best.
(*) Someone who is ignorant or inexperienced, has an undisciplined mind, or is outright stupid, or immature.
REMEMBER WHAT I JUST TAUGHT YOU BECAUSE IT WILL HELP YOU THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE.
This will too:
“To be scientifically literate is to empower yourself to know when someone else is full of shit.”
- Neil de Grasse Tyson
So, study science, logic, and mathematics to give yourself a disciplined and emotionally controlled mind capable of detecting bullshit artists and would-be dictators like Trump... or Hitler (whom Trump studied).

3.2K opinions shared on Society & Politics topic. Americans think playing the world police over few decades caused financial problems they have currently. Trump with his idea of isolationism is product of this way of thinking.
However I'm sure Trump will betray people who elected him like he did 4 years ago. No wall, no America first, instead tax evasion laws for super rich and billions for Israel. Even if Trump wants to stop giving security guaranties from rest of the world, Military-Industrial complex will not allow that. Why? Because most countries in EU, South Korea, Australia, Japan... can produce nukes in less than a year and multipolar world isn't in interest of US.24 Reply- +1 y

@strateguy632 LOL! Trump failed you with his microscopic wall that Mexico never paid for. Currently, Congress wants to do something about immigration but Fatty told them not to do anything because he wants to continue running on anger of a broken system. Trump is vile.

How exactly is America "pro-Putin"? Your government is supporting in every way possible a nation (Ukraine) that is at war with Russia. And do you know why so many love D. Trump? It's because the alternative is just so much worse!

u +1 yYou can thank Joe Biden and the Democrat party for most of this mess.
20 Reply 27.2K opinions shared on Society & Politics topic. The country had really gone in the wrong direction for the last 3 years. Prices are sky high and wages have not kept up. There have been shortages. Millions of illegal aliens have flowed across the border. Countries have opened their prisons and insane asylums and dumped them here. Terrorists have come in and we now have diseases that we have not seen in decades. Meanwhile Biden has no clue who any of these people are and where they are. Inflation has crushed people's retirement accounts and the retreating stock market made it worse.
Americans remember how the country was just 3 short years ago. In 2020, even though we were in the middle of a deadly pandemic I look at 2020 as the good old days.
Maybe Americans want to go back to President Trump's America First policies instead of the America Last policies of Crooked Joe Biden.

Buying up all the media to push a narrative friendly to far right policy into the ambience is what they came up with and it's working.

Ah another brainwashed demonic rat. Let’s see where do I begin? Are you enjoying the inflation? Prices up stupidly high on damn near everything? You like all crazy murderers, any and all killers and crime infesting evil people infiltrating our country? You like how gas is high? You like how we’re practically being forced to buy ev’s that don’t hold up worth a crap in winter?

Anonymous(18-24)+1 yObviously you don't have any understanding of the issues if you equate supporting Trump to pro-Putin and pro-dictatorship, it's the exact opposite.
In a very short time in office, Trump had Putin correctly in his place on the world stage as the leader of a non-interventionist country. That fell apart the minute he left office and Putin knew he would face no resistance from the Obama-run Biden administration.
Trump also put strict financial controls on world dictators to protect citizens of those countries from oppression. And he didn't use U. S. taxpayer money to do any of it.
The fact the United States is a mindless manic country today is due to the past 50 years of unchecked liberal and now leftist policy being forced on us through news media propaganda into the universities, Hollywood, Silicon Valley and, most recently, corporate boards who promote woke-ism over their own shareholder profits.

+1 yI think Americans are opting for a third position, they just haven't figured out that they can't vote for it yet. When your choice is between international capitalism and international capitalism with LGBT rainbows, you usually wonder "well isn't there something else?"

Asker+1 yWhat if the unbiased source comes directly from brain-dead, Trump himself.

Asker+1 yThen, what would you call it if the actual words came directly from Trump's mouth? You uneducated deplorables are taking the words "dumb as dirt" to a whole new level.
- +1 y
The funny part is that you are calling a european who knows more about your countries political situation than you do uneducated. Insults like that don't work, come with actual arguments. Words from someone's mouth don't always mean much on their own, you have to take a look at the context in which they were said and what the actual idea is that is being conveyed.
Out of context "Dumbest things" lists are not a good source for that, you can make that about any person and its just going to be an inaccurate depiction of them by default.
So since you consider yourself more educated than me why don't you tell me what Trump supporters, especially the MAGA crowd wish to accomplish. You have an advantage after all, you are in the country I merely know people from the country and follow its politics daily.
