Who are the Trump supporters? They aren’t all (or even mostly all) bigots or racists. They’re not fascists. They’re not brainless dupes of a demagogue.

George Saunders of the New Yorker does a good job (below) clarifying that most Trump supporters share what he calls a “usurpation anxiety syndrome” — a feeling that one is, or is about to be, scooped, overrun, or taken advantage of. Trump supporters feel America has been taken away from them by Obama, the Clintons, the “lames...tream” media, the “élites,” the business-as-usual politicians. They have a case of Grievance Mind -- and Trump is their head kvetcher. They’re less influenced by Goldwater and Reagan than by Fox News and reality TV.

Intellectually and emotionally weakened by years of steadily degraded public discourse, Americans are now two separate ideological countries, speaking different languages, the lines between us down.

I "think" that your quote is correct. We are divided between the makers and the takers. And the takers numbers have grown immensely under the Obama Administration. We are dangerously close to having 50% plus 1 in favor of just taking everything from everyone else instead of earning it yourself. So yes, this country is screwed. At this point, it's just a matter of time.............

In all of Trump's speeches or interviews, he is constantly repeating the same sentences or phrases over and over. He makes a statement or says a sentence and then he will repeat this same statement or sentence over and over. I have always thought that any person who does this must have some mental problem and after doing some research, I found this simple explanation

The bottom line or sum total of Trump's mental condition comes to, he ain't all there!!!.

Trump's oral perseveration
by: LJ

There could be several reasons Trump repeats phrases (perseveration). One could be just a lack of a wide vocabulary. One other, and I am inclined to agree with this, is an injured or undeveloped right hemisphere of the brain where the speech center lies. It is not lack of education, but an inability to retain certain words.
This can also come about in childhood when a child's needs are anticipated before they have to ask. Lazy speech ensues because there is no need for specifics.

Did you ever read the book, "Bush on The Couch"------You should. It is about the last crazy ass Republican that we had in the Whitehouse. And we certainly don't need someone who is crazier than Bush in there.

If you took away voting rights of people that receive government checks,the Dems would never win another election,at any level of government.

Yep. And most of the Democrat base don't know enough to pour **** out of a boot, but they do know just enough to not bite the hand that feeds them.

Pathological Liar – Definition
Pathological liar refers to a liar that is compulsive or impulsive, lies on a regular basis and is unable to control their lying despite of foreseeing inevitable negative consequences or ultimate disclosure of the lie. Generally lies told by a pathological liar have self-defeating quality to them and don’t serve the long term material needs of the person. Therefore pathological lying is lying that is caused by a pathology, occurs on a regular basis, is compulsive or impulsive & uncontrolled, and has self-defeating, self-trapping quality to it.

And it doesn't take long to get a politically motivated drone to follow along with the lies.

The illusory truth effect is the idea that if you repeat something often enough, people will slowly start to believe it’s true. Sounds about right, considering all the times we’ve blindly trusted an old wives’ tale or a much-retweeted factoid.

It looks like Hillary has a little pattern that has developed over the years. She is clearly a habitual liar, and really knows no other way.
The sad part is that so many people are willing to accept and defend it.

At least that "crazy ass Republican" saw a problem, identified the problem and tried to stop the problem
Barry refuses to even see the problem with radical Islam
How mad do you think ISIS is when they find out (according to Barry ) that they are not even Islamic?
