Whoever filmed this clip deserves a medal! To see Trump cheating - on his own golf course, no less - is utterly extraordinary. No wonder he wins all of his championships!
I agree. Trump has been diagnosed by several experts as a narcissistic sociopath. And as such, he lacks empathy, as we’ve witnessed. He also thrives on mocking and humiliating, intimidating and bullying others.
Apparently there’s nuance, depending on how others’ reactions and opinions impact HIM, his personal agenda and his poll numbers:
“Focus on self:
They are primarily focused on their own needs and desires, often at the expense of others. This self-centeredness can lead them to disregard the opinions and feelings of those around them.
Exploitation:
They may use and exploit others to achieve their goals, without concern for the emotional consequences.
In essence: While a narcissistic psychopath may appear to care about others' opinions in certain situations, this care is often superficial and driven by a desire for self-preservation and control rather than genuine empathy. They may be highly attuned to how others perceive them, but their capacity to understand and care about others' feelings is severely limited according to Medical News Today.”
Shrinking Trump (https://www.youtube.com/@ReallyAmerican) elaborates on this topic, along, of course, with his advancing dementia, which exacerbates his personality defects. Yet his unspeakable entourage at the WH, along with the most rabid MAGA cultists seem to think he is a true American, because of his xenophobic, homophobic and vile, bigoted disposition! He is, as I know very well, at the opposite pole of what it is to be a true American - personally I believe the Obamas personify that ideal.
He cheats on Elections, court cases, his wives. Steals. Manipulates every normal process he can. Foul ,snarky, mouthy, stupid. Cruel, liar, con man, no empathy, no self awareness, I could keep going. But the childish thin skinned idiot cant take any criticism. So hes gonna make all Americans as miserable as him as he destroys all happiness and joy in the name of politics. FASCIST PARTY OF DUMP
It's not just trump, in fact it's not trump at all. The GOP Congress has had the power to stop everything he has done (except the cheating on wives) but every single day they choose not to, they choose to support everything he does.
What gets me, and I may be very wrong here, is that at some point this is going to backfire on the donors. The tariffs will all be passed on to the consumer so they won't hurt profits, but consumers will just have less money to buy and the same profit on fewer items seems not a good business model. And while many working class folks will get tax breaks, for many many their home owner's insurance and car insurance will go up because replacement parts will cost so much more, and that money does not quite get put back into the local economy. It means less for folks to spend at Walmart. It might go to fixing one home or car but again, there won't be more profit in doing those things. I have no idea how much profit GM makes from new cars, but I think I read that new cars aren't selling well and they are about to tack on a whole lot more to the purchase price which will hurt more. I keep thinking I must just have no clue how things work and I'm totally wrong but then I don't see how wrong I can be....take money out of the pockets of consumers and fewer things are bought and that means less profit.
I agree! While I am a big fan of snakes, they are indeed twisty and turny and you don't know where they are going, and sneaky and often very dangerous so while I hate to disparage snakes by comparing them to trump, he sure fits those parts of the descriptions of them, and yes is the head of all these spineless Republicans...I mean they don't even care enough about the faith they claim to have and choose to follow someone who violates all the Ten Commandments, does the opposite of every single thing Jesus said to do. If you believe in any of the stuff in the Bible, I don't think Jesus say "Well done my son" when they meet him.
It's been known for years that he cheats at golf, look it up. Although hearing it from others vs seeing it in plain sight makes a huge difference to people.
Why don't they fight back. Why is everyone so afraid of this demented clown. Big businesses and companies are ruining their lives. Caving to this boring , liar. Canceling shows he doesn't like because they make fun of him. They have done it to every high profile person ever. No one cries like DON OLD. most hated individual in the world
This country hasn't fought for its life since the Civil War and apparently we can't recognize that we're in great peril. In business and politics the kind of people who were born with a backbone and sense of integrity have been replaced by spineless sycophants, afraid to lose the only thing they possess: money.
Actually the 1960’s were a time of great turmoil and social /cultural unrest, for a wide range of reasons …Assassinations, an unjustifiable war along with a draft that forced young boys to go off and fight in a war, against their will, that was extremely unpopular. Gender and cultural inequalities were wreaking havoc. Followed by the tumultuous Nixon years..His corruption, and the Watergate scandal that ended with his resignation.
The defining difference was that politicians had more integrity then and even the GOP wasn’t willing to ignore or provide cover and instead they told him he had to resign or he would be impeached.
As a nation and because of Trump, we’ve sunk to a new level of widespread corruption and we’ve been consumed by greed and power, by politicians and corporations alike, to bend and break the rules of engagement, from the presidency on down. The courts are controlled. The SCOTUS is a rubber stamp. And Trump MAGA supporters are literally a cult and believe everything he says, primarily because they’re so dumbed down and ill-informed.
The media, the so called fourth estate, can in general no longer be trusted because they are consumed by ratings.
Politicians have forgotten who they work for, who pays their salaries. US, WE THE PEOPLE own the government. It belongs to US. So it’s up to US to stand up and remind them.
I could go on. But you get the point.
The world is watching as Trump makes a laughingstock of us. Everything, our very future, our children’s futures, our freedom, our rights, our democracy, all hinge on this moment.
Trump cheating at golf merely amplifies the absurdity of the current situation and makes us seem foolish. Trump is making a mockery of us.
Can we find the collective will to rise up and meet this drastic occasion with the level of grit and verve that’s required?
Yes, I believe we do because America is an idea that’s worth fighting for.
My generation is what you described. At a young age, we knew the cost. Bomb drills, hiding under desks. As teens watching our friends and relatives being DRAFTED. You are right Merry. This is a test for the young. We can never stop telling them these stories.
Exactly. We lived through an era that was filled with promise and hope. Yet it was equally an era of disruption, upheaval, a sort of “reset” of a 1950’s “Fathers Knows Best” family structure that subjugated women to a short list of restricted roles.
The 1963 assassination of JFK was a turning point that jolted Americans out of their naïveté and also stimulated a surge of cultural backlash among the youth that in turn gave us a new social movement, a new collective voice, extraordinary music that both reflected and defined the times.
That movement gave rise to the satire of the the late 60’s into the 70’s, Laugh In, All in the family, the Jeffersons, Saturday Night Live, the Cosby Show, Different Strokes, Happy Days, Mork n Mindy etc aired.
Yes, the youth need our wisdom, our experience, our honesty. They need to listen to, and understand the real challenges of their grandparents, their elders, their predecessors so they won’t take democracy for granted. And so they can truly understand the challenges they’re facing now. And why it matters: BECAUSE THEIR LIVES, THEIR FUTURES DEPEND ON IT.
Uhhhh, you could make an arguable claim, perhaps, that America wasn't compelled to help in WW !, but WW II was a clear, unambiguous "fight for our lives," don't you think? I was but five when at minutes after 1:00 PM Pearl Harbor Day we got the word in Brooklyn, walking distance from Navy Yard, and my mother became deeply anxious over the danger of being shelled by a pinching attack by possible Nazi submarines off Long Island's shores. Where, did YOU get your lower schooling, Anne??
I got my lower schooling hiding under desks from the atom bomb and other leftovers from WWII....and remember the war as the daughter of a Naval Officer who fought in the South Pacific. But this was a different fight for our lives...we were a country united against a common enemy. During the Civil War we were a country fighting to the death among ourselves. If we are going to fall it will be from within. I stand by what I said.
Proudly, apparently. But what you said, baldly, was "this country hasn't fought for its life since the Civil War" . . . I'm willing to accept, now that you've clarified, that what you meant to say that 'we've never fought AMONG OURSELVES since the Civil War.'
Language is important. The structures of sentences count. In the present circumstances, MAGAts and their fellow travelers, the Christian Nationalists,. are flatly wrong about their assertions of how this nation began and evolved and formulated itself structurally, the court began its particularly journey of decay, and then the moral and personal decay of Trump, the shifts of income distribution in America leading to oligarchy, and the egregiously lingering effects of slavery, our treatment of native Americans, and our knee jerk discomforts with those others who look different than "white folks" has led to the MAGA eruption. Not knowing history results in its repetition. And here we are . . .
I apologize for coming at you harder than I should have. My parents immigrated here beginning of the last century. They'd be appalled. I was raised on history, political science, and philosophy and then have put it tto work in government, university, and public service. I have two middling young granddaughters whose futures I'm scared to think of. I spend my days participating in this kind of dialog, showing up for number counts, trying to reason with anyone willing to lead and just don't see it making any damn difference at all. I'm in my 89th year. So long as I can continue to challenge the effects of long COVID on my writing, editing, post, e-mailing, web searching etc. etc. I will be in these trenches. Persevere.
I have to be honest, I have no clue about what kinds of contracts reporters might have. It seems to me anyone that wants to be a journalist/reporter would indeed press trump for real answers and not stop until there was a real answer and they would fact check him in real time to his face and if their employer would not let them do that, they'd quit and tell the world why they quit. But on the other hand, I try to respect people who honor a contract, sort of....maybe a lot of reporters live paycheck to pay check and even if those pay checks are a lot bigger that the vast majority of Americans, you do get used to having that income and if you have not saved up a lot to get you to the next job it may be financially hard to just quit, maybe pay contract breaking penalties, especially if you kids. I try to believe that's the case with these reporters, but to be honest I have a real hard time believing it.
He cheats at everything. Golf, life, marriage, business, politics, elections,.... every day. Always has, always will. There is not one thing that he is honest or truthful about.
It’s the little things … they matter a lot! The POTUS of the US believes he does not have to play by the rules in golf or anything else. So glad this video is out there and being seen!
No difference between trump modeling agencies and beauty pageants and what Epstein did. Epstein learned from trump. Rich men taking advantage of vulnerable young women.
The Europeans have the right idea by boycotting Tesla....that's bringing Musk to his knees. Wait...he had been on his knees anyway when he was Trump's Best Boy.
It is never a surprise whenever Trump “wins” one of his tournaments at his U.S. golf courses…but to see him cheat in Scotland, while the world is watching is PERFECT. We all know what a cheat and grifter he is. This puts him on full display. Thanks you MTN for all you do for us and the world.
Let them play golf instead of eat cake. While the burns Nitwit golfs. The guy lies and cheats at everything ; golf, his marriages, his country, medical exams. He’s not an alpha male tough guy his cult thinks he is and his regime posts, he’s a sad pathetic loser.
They don't care about Trump anymore. He has served them well and is now just a useful idiot. Once he goes against them, if he ever does, they will do it.
My husband still thinks every anti trump thing is a lie or a spin or just unimportant....because he believes the "we charge 2% on imports, the rest of the world charges the USA 35% or more"... I mean, im not an economist... I know his numbers and explanations are not logical, but its an overwhelming argument to me as I cant disabuse his notion that whether we IMPORT OR EXPORT, us CORPORATIONS pay all the taxes (even when he says "yes, i know the consumer actually pays it").
A link to a rebuttal would be awesome if anyone has that resource.
Here is a Trump 2.0 Tariff Tracker with the latest on what the U.S. has charged or is threatening to charge other countries and what other countries are doing about it.
There is no 2% left any more as there is 10% across the board tariff in charge in every country, every island, every space on the planet, even uninhabited places with only penguins and diego garcia where there is only military - our military.
Thanks, Ramona! I have been working on the Big Ugly Bill and moving on to working up how to elevate the campaigns of Democrats/Independents coming up in the Mid terms. Campaign season is starting.
Otherwise, just taking a hiatus to just watch the epstein case unravel.
Don’t know where he gets his most illogical info from but I could guess…I always google to get answers and if the info comes from a qualified Economist makes sense because you’re husband is not…Facts matter and backing up your info matters….
He got it from church as a child. From his rural community that taught its the result, not the ethics. From Fox and right-wing news sources that was all he was exposed to... from the military, that breaks humans and creates killers. From his brothers in arms who only saw the enemy when abroad. He, like so many millions, were shaped by the malevolent indoctrination that a few billionaires funded over the past 40+ years.
I know there are true believers in MAGA... but mostly, its a cognitive dissonance that is as difficult to break through as being an abused spouse who raises her kids and hopes he dies before he kills her.
So I am a human married to another human, and im definitely not "on the left, the right or any side that is currently in power. I am human. I believe every human is born with potential, I believe our leaders and those to whom we give our proxy are useless if their primary goal is money, power, control instead of actually creating a society where every human is raised to fulfill their potentials.
Regarding my marital choice.... If you judge without understanding context, you are just as authoritarian and patriarchal as the systems & old white men that have (violently or via indoctrination) oppressed 99.9% of humanity.
My husband and his fellow conservatives are not your enemy. A small percentage of them are truly evil, most are just thoroughly indoctrinated in patriarchal beliefs. Your comment implies you are grouping all into one thing...just like trump does.
When you use the tactics of your enemy, you become the same evil as your enemy.
The Republican Party is no longer if they follow Trump and any Republican that agrees with his tactics….While following him just because your a Republican isn’t enough….I had no qualm with the past Republicans but this is different, there is a wrong and their is a right…That’s why there are some Republicans that don’t agree with him and he ostracized them…If that’s not Authoritarian guess what it is…If you don’t want your husband to hear facts which by all standards is the truth then don’t ask…
I do want him to shed his indoctrination...but not by replacing it with equally spun democratic leadership spun crap... trump being a nazi doesn't mean the liberal billionaires are not just as awful (their offered bread and circuses are a bit more friendly, but still designed to create control of power and money).
Facts are, humanity has both the data and the technology to create a fair and equitable society... but both conservative and liberal politics work hand in glove to keep a status quo on who gets actual power.
I dont want to wake up from being controlled by conservative patriarchy to being controlled by liberal patriarchy. Its still patriarchy.
Don’t know if you are aware that the Democratic Party has always helped the most unfortunate and why we have Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid etc..all passed by Democratic Presidents…So I rather hear the truth than the constant lies once Trump came into power…Your choice but I like the Truth which I grew up on…What happening now is Authoritarian coupled with Fascism…much more than patriarchy…I choose Democracy….
I'm not on and "side " either. Thats been over for years. My husband did all his schooling in catholic schools,(not his choice) Every generation of my family served in the military. The only ones who missed the draft or didn't go to fight for America, are the Trumpers. IMO, it's sane vs insane. I just can't see anyone defending this. Good luck to you Brandi
My point is we are each a product of our experiences... I dont blame people for believing what they have been taught, particularly when today, as we discourse here, these words will not reach any maga....and the comments of pro trumpers on this thread are either bots or true believers or just trolls... you are expressing an opinion based on YOUR knowledge, based on your experiences.... the conservative "info" pipeline is guarded with fear of liberal deepstate propaganda... they BELIEVE that.
I know. Im not disagreeing with you. But it is platforms like this that allow those who think alike can share similar beliefs. You asked for help. We are just being honest. Unfortunately, IMO only. I do not have the energy left to convert anyone who is still not seeing this as wrong. Been trying since 2015. Even with my own family.
Whoever filmed this clip deserves a medal! To see Trump cheating - on his own golf course, no less - is utterly extraordinary. No wonder he wins all of his championships!
He cheats at everything he does. Pathetic.
Thanks to Medias Mighties for publicizing proof that Trump cheats at golf - and we pay for it!
ftn is a scammer troll. Reported and blocked.
On my bulletin board is my favorite sign that says “Do the right thing, even when no one is looking”. Maybe he doesn’t own one of those signs.
What am I saying!? He wouldn’t even understand it’s meaning
PARTICULARLY when no one is looking. That’s the definition of real integrity!
Personally I doubt that Trump cares about or even notices the feelings of other people.
I am sure of it. He is a malignant narcissist of which sociopathy...no empathy...is a component
I agree. Trump has been diagnosed by several experts as a narcissistic sociopath. And as such, he lacks empathy, as we’ve witnessed. He also thrives on mocking and humiliating, intimidating and bullying others.
Apparently there’s nuance, depending on how others’ reactions and opinions impact HIM, his personal agenda and his poll numbers:
“Focus on self:
They are primarily focused on their own needs and desires, often at the expense of others. This self-centeredness can lead them to disregard the opinions and feelings of those around them.
Exploitation:
They may use and exploit others to achieve their goals, without concern for the emotional consequences.
In essence: While a narcissistic psychopath may appear to care about others' opinions in certain situations, this care is often superficial and driven by a desire for self-preservation and control rather than genuine empathy. They may be highly attuned to how others perceive them, but their capacity to understand and care about others' feelings is severely limited according to Medical News Today.”
Shrinking Trump (https://www.youtube.com/@ReallyAmerican) elaborates on this topic, along, of course, with his advancing dementia, which exacerbates his personality defects. Yet his unspeakable entourage at the WH, along with the most rabid MAGA cultists seem to think he is a true American, because of his xenophobic, homophobic and vile, bigoted disposition! He is, as I know very well, at the opposite pole of what it is to be a true American - personally I believe the Obamas personify that ideal.
Nigel, the dude is nothing but emptiness… nothing in fifty million years could ever fill him up with feelings …he’s a black hole
@Nigel ... Right. It's not in his wheelhouse.
Yes, it certainly is. (Even when Jesus, Santa or the Elf on the Shelf is not watching. 😊)
But he thinks that he ALWAYS does the right thing!!
Bwahahahaha!
Right….😏
for him only
I remember telling my children that when they were growing up.
He cheats to "win" the tournaments his own courses sponsor. They probably pre-engrave his name on the trophies to save time.
He cheats on Elections, court cases, his wives. Steals. Manipulates every normal process he can. Foul ,snarky, mouthy, stupid. Cruel, liar, con man, no empathy, no self awareness, I could keep going. But the childish thin skinned idiot cant take any criticism. So hes gonna make all Americans as miserable as him as he destroys all happiness and joy in the name of politics. FASCIST PARTY OF DUMP
It's not just trump, in fact it's not trump at all. The GOP Congress has had the power to stop everything he has done (except the cheating on wives) but every single day they choose not to, they choose to support everything he does.
They’re no longer the GOP. Just start calling them fascists.
Gang of Pedophiles...fascists.
Because they are the new version of slavery. They have been
bought by the highest bidder. Selling out your country to
appease weak, vindictive, heartless souls.
What gets me, and I may be very wrong here, is that at some point this is going to backfire on the donors. The tariffs will all be passed on to the consumer so they won't hurt profits, but consumers will just have less money to buy and the same profit on fewer items seems not a good business model.

This spring State Farm increased my home insurance $7,900! I almost passed out, but then this is always the case when Republicans are in power.
And the drop in population , immigrants and American citizens, being deported, fired, leaving the country ,will not be purchasing anything!
You are right Pat. Trump is the head of the snake though. 🐍
I agree! While I am a big fan of snakes, they are indeed twisty and turny and you don't know where they are going, and sneaky and often very dangerous so while I hate to disparage snakes by comparing them to trump, he sure fits those parts of the descriptions of them, and yes is the head of all these spineless Republicans...I mean they don't even care enough about the faith they claim to have and choose to follow someone who violates all the Ten Commandments, does the opposite of every single thing Jesus said to do.

Snakes aren't slimy. Slugs are slimy! ;-)
How about the head of a dead fish ?
Hit the nail on the head,love it we need more of this. 👍
HA! They probably have tons of those trophies waiting in the wings.
To quote Mohammed Ali:
"He's a legend in his own mind"
There was a book written by Trump's former caddy aptly titled: "Commander in Cheat"....detailing how America's Greatest Cheat cheats.
Here is the US link: https://www.amazon.com/Commander-Cheat-Explains-brilliant-bestseller-ebook/dp/B07LGFM8JP.
He’s been doing it his whole life. He has never won anything on his own. He’s a cheater in everything he does!
Darn. I haven't seen the clip of Trump cheating at golf in Scotland.
Here is one link: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/golf/2025/07/28/donald-trump-us-president-on-video-cheating-at-golf/ - there are lots!!
Thank you!
In the real world, it would be extraordinary, but in the Trump universe eeeh!
It's been known for years that he cheats at golf, look it up. Although hearing it from others vs seeing it in plain sight makes a huge difference to people.
I wonder what excuses the scumbag will come up for this one.
He’ll ignore it. If a reporter asks about it he’ll get angry and attack them.
Why don't they fight back. Why is everyone so afraid of this demented clown. Big businesses and companies are ruining their lives. Caving to this boring , liar. Canceling shows he doesn't like because they make fun of him. They have done it to every high profile person ever. No one cries like DON OLD. most hated individual in the world

Exactly. But the more attacks he gets, the better.
Or he’ll claim he doesn’t know anything about it
He’ll say I know nothing about that!
WE ALL know he would!
He’ll lie and say it’s a fake video.
Yep.
Hell lie and say it was his caddies . His golf course employees .. but not himself
He’ll blame Biden
😆
FAKE news!
AI as always
He will use his old and overused adjectives like “Witch hunt” and “Hoax” etc…
He'll say it's fake AI, of course, and he'll continue cheating, because...he can.
Lies ... Just more lies 😏
Probably “It’s AI! Fake video!”
He'll say it's A.I. But, he still doesn't want to regulate it! 😆
It’s a microcosm of his entire life
He cheats at everything. Golf, life, marriage, business, politics, elections,.... every day. Always has, always will. There is not one thing that he is honest or truthful about.
It’s the little things … they matter a lot! The POTUS of the US believes he does not have to play by the rules in golf or anything else. So glad this video is out there and being seen!
No difference between trump modeling agencies and beauty pageants and what Epstein did. Epstein learned from trump. Rich men taking advantage of vulnerable young women.
Actually, the filthy-rich take advantage of everybody.
They absolutely do and it's way past time we stop letting them get away with it. Boycott all evil billionaires who support trump regime.
The Europeans have the right idea by boycotting Tesla....that's bringing Musk to his knees. Wait...he had been on his knees anyway when he was Trump's Best Boy.
Is he really?
It is never a surprise whenever Trump “wins” one of his tournaments at his U.S. golf courses…but to see him cheat in Scotland, while the world is watching is PERFECT. We all know what a cheat and grifter he is. This puts him on full display. Thanks you MTN for all you do for us and the world.
Let them play golf instead of eat cake. While the burns Nitwit golfs. The guy lies and cheats at everything ; golf, his marriages, his country, medical exams. He’s not an alpha male tough guy his cult thinks he is and his regime posts, he’s a sad pathetic loser.
Lolol have you EVER seen trump play golf where he doesn't cheat. The mofo can't even play.
Yes!!!!! WY to go ,
Yes it matters
How you do one thing is how you do everything,

Thank you so much, I know I can depend on MTN for up to the moment truth!
Naturally Trump
What about when Disposable Donnie took our American Beauty Pageant to broadcast Live from "Russia?"
The pee pee tape lives!! Those "trips " to Russia are what Putin has on him. So Russia.... if your listening, I hope you will release the tapes
If Russia releases the tapes it won't be in their best interest. Their secret weapon to bring down the US is Trump....
They don't care about Trump anymore. He has served them well and is now just a useful idiot. Once he goes against them, if he ever does, they will do it.
I wonder how many of the cult members are actually golfers. I’m sure they can be easily persuaded that cheating is normal behavior.
Of course. They all cheat at everything. Pick their poison. Also cowards. And Liars
My husband still thinks every anti trump thing is a lie or a spin or just unimportant....because he believes the "we charge 2% on imports, the rest of the world charges the USA 35% or more"... I mean, im not an economist... I know his numbers and explanations are not logical, but its an overwhelming argument to me as I cant disabuse his notion that whether we IMPORT OR EXPORT, us CORPORATIONS pay all the taxes (even when he says "yes, i know the consumer actually pays it").
A link to a rebuttal would be awesome if anyone has that resource.
Here is a Trump 2.0 Tariff Tracker with the latest on what the U.S. has charged or is threatening to charge other countries and what other countries are doing about it.
There is no 2% left any more as there is 10% across the board tariff in charge in every country, every island, every space on the planet, even uninhabited places with only penguins and diego garcia where there is only military - our military.
Hope this helps!

Thank you!
Hey Smurf ! Good to see you! ✌️
Thanks, Ramona! I have been working on the Big Ugly Bill and moving on to working up how to elevate the campaigns of Democrats/Independents coming up in the Mid terms. Campaign season is starting.
Otherwise, just taking a hiatus to just watch the epstein case unravel.
Don’t know where he gets his most illogical info from but I could guess…I always google to get answers and if the info comes from a qualified Economist makes sense because you’re husband is not…Facts matter and backing up your info matters….
He got it from church as a child. From his rural community that taught its the result, not the ethics. From Fox and right-wing news sources that was all he was exposed to... from the military, that breaks humans and creates killers. From his brothers in arms who only saw the enemy when abroad. He, like so many millions, were shaped by the malevolent indoctrination that a few billionaires funded over the past 40+ years.
I know there are true believers in MAGA... but mostly, its a cognitive dissonance that is as difficult to break through as being an abused spouse who raises her kids and hopes he dies before he kills her.
So, you're on the left married to a MAGAt? 🤔
So I am a human married to another human, and im definitely not "on the left, the right or any side that is currently in power. I am human. I believe every human is born with potential, I believe our leaders and those to whom we give our proxy are useless if their primary goal is money, power, control instead of actually creating a society where every human is raised to fulfill their potentials.
Regarding my marital choice.... If you judge without understanding context, you are just as authoritarian and patriarchal as the systems & old white men that have (violently or via indoctrination) oppressed 99.9% of humanity.
My husband and his fellow conservatives are not your enemy. A small percentage of them are truly evil, most are just thoroughly indoctrinated in patriarchal beliefs. Your comment implies you are grouping all into one thing...just like trump does.
When you use the tactics of your enemy, you become the same evil as your enemy.
The Republican Party is no longer if they follow Trump and any Republican that agrees with his tactics….While following him just because your a Republican isn’t enough….I had no qualm with the past Republicans but this is different, there is a wrong and their is a right…That’s why there are some Republicans that don’t agree with him and he ostracized them…If that’s not Authoritarian guess what it is…If you don’t want your husband to hear facts which by all standards is the truth then don’t ask…
Thanks Linda . I've been sayin for years, this is not politics as usual. Its insane. It's not party ,it country OVER party. Sane vs. Insane.
I do want him to shed his indoctrination...but not by replacing it with equally spun democratic leadership spun crap... trump being a nazi doesn't mean the liberal billionaires are not just as awful (their offered bread and circuses are a bit more friendly, but still designed to create control of power and money).
Facts are, humanity has both the data and the technology to create a fair and equitable society... but both conservative and liberal politics work hand in glove to keep a status quo on who gets actual power.
I dont want to wake up from being controlled by conservative patriarchy to being controlled by liberal patriarchy. Its still patriarchy.
Don’t know if you are aware that the Democratic Party has always helped the most unfortunate and why we have Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid etc..all passed by Democratic Presidents…So I rather hear the truth than the constant lies once Trump came into power…Your choice but I like the Truth which I grew up on…What happening now is Authoritarian coupled with Fascism…much more than patriarchy…I choose Democracy….
I'm not on and "side " either. Thats been over for years. My husband did all his schooling in catholic schools,(not his choice) Every generation of my family served in the military. The only ones who missed the draft or didn't go to fight for America, are the Trumpers. IMO, it's sane vs insane. I just can't see anyone defending this. Good luck to you Brandi
My point is we are each a product of our experiences... I dont blame people for believing what they have been taught, particularly when today, as we discourse here, these words will not reach any maga....and the comments of pro trumpers on this thread are either bots or true believers or just trolls... you are expressing an opinion based on YOUR knowledge, based on your experiences.... the conservative "info" pipeline is guarded with fear of liberal deepstate propaganda... they BELIEVE that.
I know. Im not disagreeing with you. But it is platforms like this that allow those who think alike can share similar beliefs. You asked for help. We are just being honest. Unfortunately, IMO only. I do not have the energy left to convert anyone who is still not seeing this as wrong. Been trying since 2015. Even with my own family.
… while he and his stooges light the world on fire….
Thank you!
