Hillary Clinton wants to deprogram MAGA?

[Bradskii]

Conservatives disturbed by Clinton's call for 'deprogramming' Trump supporters: 'Pure authoritarianism'

Conservative social media users blasted former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after she floated the idea of "formally deprogramming" Trump supporters.

And yes, Americans struggle with satire and irony.

And I've also noticed that the further right some people's political leanings, the later it can be assumed they turned up at the Sense Of Humour counter when it was being issued and there wasn't a lot left on the shelves. You know, the sort of people who respond with a blank stare when you say 'No, mate. It was a tongue in cheek comment.' The people who reach for a dictionary if you use the word facetious. Those who treat that comment by Clinton as if she thinks that we should be setting up 'Deprogramming Camps' and going the full Alex on anyone with a red baseball cap (which will make no sense to those who haven't seen Clockwork Orange. Real horrorshow!).

Those people need to get a grip on reality. It's still out there. Just peel back the Fox curtain and have a look.

You mean like when Trump supporters chanted “Lock her up”. Where was the left’s sense of humor then?
Or even more relevant, whien he told Russia to find the missing emails? I don’t remember the left laughing about that. They were the ones that didn’t understand what tongue in cheek meant

You think that most people were chanting that ironically? Are you serious? It contradicts Bradskiis Law of Political Humour. I can't recall people chuckling and digging each other in the ribs as it was chanted.

Hillary said that ha

Or when he told Russia to find the missing emails. Y’all seemed to have trouble understanding what tongue in cheek meant
Hillary said half of all Trump supporters were a basket of deplorables why should we think that she’s joking now?

Not ironic, tongue in cheek

Nah, that was serious. She meant that.

Yes Trump supporters chanted about locking his political opponent up, who knew that Biden would actually do it

President Joe Biden hasn't done that.

Now, if you're referring to Donald Trump facing multiple indictments and over 90 felony charges, this is occurring in several courts of law, using due process. His guilt, or lack of it, will be determined by a judge in some cases, a judge and jury in others. That's how our legal system works, and it's being working like that for a long time now.

President Biden's not involved. He's not a judge, nor is he sitting on any of the juries.

As to Hilary's comment...show me where she proposed a law to deprogram anyone, and I'll join you in objecting to it. Until then, let's not forget one salient fact here: HILARY CLINTON IS NOT IN OFFICE. ANYWHERE.

-- A2SG, you did know that, right?

I cannot believe that a poster it trying to gaslight readers into thinking "lock her up" was chanted in jest.

You really believe that?

Yeah. It's easily provable, too: he isn't a judge at all, let alone the presiding judge in any of Trump's trials; and I'm absolutely certain he won't be selected for jury duty, even if one of those trials were occurring in his home district.

-- A2SG, simple as that......

Now go to the capital and peacefully and patriotically protest

Except for those folks who attacked it, citing Mr. Trump's orders to do so.

But please, continue to try and justify their actions. That's a certain path to getting people to take your posts seriously.

I guess those who "know" stuff because they believe far-right propaganda spewed by their leader instead of reality might be seen by some to need deprogramming similar to others who have been similarly deceived. Good example of the types of followers Ms. Clinton might have been talking about.

 

[KCfromNC]

Or when he told Russia to find the missing emails.

As his campaign staff was secretly meeting with Russian agents. Ha ha, very funny.

I never justified their actions. But continue to make baseless accusations and I’m sure people will take you seriously

This is stupid. No kind of deprogramming is likely to work on Mr Trump’s supporters.

No, because it's not a cult of personality, we actually deeply appreciated the politics. His platform were the policies people actually want.

We aren't globalists and we never will be.

There are Republican globalists the same as there are Republican nationalists, and Trump was the only nationalist running.

Did Trump make mistakes? Was it all sunshine and roses? Of course there were mistakes and calls that I disagreed with, no one agrees with any politician all the time, absolutely no one. But I do think he did his best given all the circumstances, and I'd take another Trump presidency over a Biden one any day of the week.

Does that mean I had any intentions of voting for Trump again? No... I voted for him twice and right now he simply has too much baggage to think he can take even one term, and that's not even taking his age into consideration yet.

My decision has been, up to this point, a decision to see who (R) was running on a good platform (who was not Donald Trump) that I could support and do my voting during the primary process.

Barring that, I'll be honest, any globalist in office, regardless of what letter is behind the name whether R or D, is planning on destroying the country and I cannot vote for that.

If the field was all globalists I wasn't planning on voting for Trump.


HOWEVER - if my choice is Trump or formal "reeducation", I've got a middle finger in a Trump vote that I feel desirous of using first.

And if that's how I feel? What do the people feel who actually want to vote him?

My goodness this is nothing but evil set upon evil at this point. Are we even worth trying to save at this point?

Then you are not a MAGA wing nut. The kind of people we see calling Trump the second coming while being simultaneously unable to articulate why they vote for him.

You are not them. These people would follow Mr Trump into storming government building with lynching equipment. These people send him money when he churns out his latest grift.

You are not them. I've always carefully read your post because while I disagree with most of them they are always considered and measured.

Now go to the capital and peacefully and patriotically protest

At what point in his speech did he say that or anything like that? How many times was that repeated as opposed to the word "fight"? (hint: 1:18)

He said those words. I don’t support what happened but he did say to go to the capital and peacefully protest You may have never heard it because some outlets edited the video.
I don’t defend Trump he made claims about the election that weren’t true and I don’t support what he did but he did say to peacefully make your voices heard

Then what was the point of a post attempting to whitewash the violence they committed after their leader told them to fight like hell? Please be specific.

For those having trouble understanding the mentality that is being described a "cultish", here's a few examples of painting Donald as a messiah who is the only one who can save the world.
