You were lucky Donald, when it came to having:
- "A Vocal and Fanatically Loyal Voter Base..."
- "Hard Core Far-Right Politicians..."
WHAT DO I MEAN?
IT IS AN ELEMENT OF AMERICAN SOCIETY that believes THE U.S. CONSTITUTION,
with its GUARANTEES AND IDEALS SET FORTH IN THE CONTENTS OF THE DOCUMENT,
APPLY ONLY TO THEM, AND SELECTED INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS. CONCEPTS SUCH AS
"RIGHTS" ARE NOT MEANT FOR ALL, JUST THE CHOSEN FEW.
AS WE HAVE SEEN THROUGHOUT WORLD HISTORY, THERE ARE ALWAYS WANNABE
DICTATORS, DESPOTS, AND POWER-HUNGRY NARCISSISTS WHO PANDER TO THESE
ELEMENTS IN SOCIETY. POWER IS AN END IN ITSELF. HOW IT IS ACQUIRED OR USED IS
OF NO CONSEQUENCE.
(The following ARTICLE was first published on 7/12/2016.)
It is a mistake for Progressives to think that those who make up the Most Conservative Elements of the "NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY" ARE ALL CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH. WHILE THEY MAY VOTE AS A BLOC,THE PRIMARY MOTIVATION DIFFERS FROM GROUP TO GROUP.
While They are usually Packaged Together, ULTRA CONSERVATIVE POLITICIANS HAVE REALIZED THAT FINDING THE ONE KEY ISSUE THAT DRIVES CERTAIN GROUPS OF VOTERS TO THE POLLS, OFTEN WILL TURN THEM INTO LOYAL ALLIES, who will support an agenda full of Issues They may care little about.
It could be GUN CONTROL, SAME- SEX MARRIAGE, GOVERNMENT SPENDING, SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE, IMMIGRATION LAWS, REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE etc. THE STRATEGY IS TO PUT FORTH AN UNCOMPROMISING, RIGID, AND VITRIOLIC POINT OF VIEW ON A PARTICULAR ISSUE, APPEALING TO THE BASER ELEMENTS OF HUMAN NATURE.
THE REASON: TO LEARN OF THE ONE ISSUE THAT EACH SECTION OF INDIVIDUAL VOTERS MOST IDENTIFIES WITH, AND MANIPULATE IT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE.
IT'S A TACTIC THAT REQUIRES NO INTELLECTUAL EFFORT ON THE PART OF THE LISTENER.THERE IS NO NEED TO UNDERSTAND, OR EVEN CARE ABOUT THE OPPOSITIONS POINT OF VIEW. IT PLAYS ON RAW EMOTION, WITHOUT THE NEED FOR CONTEMPLATION OR REFLECTION.
THE INDIVIDUAL IS ENCOURAGED NOT TO THINK ABOUT AN INTELLECTUAL JUSTIFICATION FOR THE OPINION THEY ARE SUPPORTING, BUT TO REACT TO THE WORDS OF THE AUTHOR AND\OR SPEAKER, AND ACCEPTING THE MESSAGE AS TRUE, AND WORTHY OF SUPPORT. THIS, IN TURN, ENCOURAGES AGREEMENT WITH OTHER OPINIONS THAT ARE EXPRESSED THE SAME WAY.
