In this environment a sociopathic narcissist can fake a populist agenda that appeals to the lower rung racists and intellectual deficients of society. Which is exactly what Trump has managed to do. MAGA devotees openly admit that Trump is not only their political, but also their spiritual guiding star.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=57795\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IT\u2019S A CULT! Poll Shows Republicans Trust Only Criminal Messiah Trump to Tell Them the Truth<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, it is understandable, albeit frightening, how thoroughly entranced the Trump cultists are. It&#8217;s a mass delusional community that can&#8217;t recognize even the most flagrant falsehoods and hypocrisies. A couple of recent Trump rallies have provided a chilling example of that blind adoration with respect to his advice on participatory democracy. Note the overt contradictions in the quotes below&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[June 22] &#8220;I want the steal stopped. Because we don\u2019t need the votes. We have the votes. We have more votes than we need. What we need &#8211; I tell these guys, I tell the RNC, I tell Michael {Whatley], I tell Lara [Trump},  I don\u2019t care, We have all the votes.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>[July 26] &#8220;Christians, get out and vote, just this time. You won&#8217;t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed. It will be fine. You won&#8217;t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I\u2019m [???] Christian. I love you. Get out \u2013 you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don\u2019t have to vote again. We\u2019ll have it fixed so good, you\u2019re not gonna have to vote.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Trump affirms his aversion to democracy &amp; plans to terminate it.<\/p>\n<p>[June 22] &quot;We don\u2019t need the votes. We have the votes. We have more votes than we need.&quot;<br \/>[July 26] &quot;Get out and vote. In 4 years you won\u2019t have to do it anymore.&quot;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sRemJWI7FB\">pic.twitter.com\/sRemJWI7FB<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6Ud2sloXD1\">pic.twitter.com\/6Ud2sloXD1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; News Corpse (@NewsCorpse) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/1817148964262797321?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 27, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So in the first quote Trump is unburdening his believers from the bother of voting because he insists that he already has more than enough votes to beat Harris. How he <em>&#8220;knows&#8221;<\/em> that is a mystery. But even if he had some rational reasoning, it would still be preposterous to discourage your supporters from going to the polls.<\/p>\n<p>However, Trump threw another curveball with the additional comments he made imploring his faithful to vote. That&#8217;s right. The same people he previously said that he doesn&#8217;t need. In this statement Trump not only reverses course saying that he does need them, but that if they comply this time, they won&#8217;t ever have to do it again. Which is his way of assuring them that his victory this year will be a permanent one that results in his ascension to dictator\/messiah.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also notable how he refers to the the people whose votes he is now soliciting as <em>&#8220;my beautiful Christians.&#8221;<\/em> Compare that to how he refers to Jewish voters when <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/after-meeting-pm-trump-says-jews-who-vote-harris-should-have-their-head-examined\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">he insults them<\/a><\/strong> saying that <em>&#8220;Any Jewish person who votes for Kamala, or a Democrat, should immediately have their head examined.&#8221;<\/em> So in Trump&#8217;s mind, Christians are <em>&#8220;beautiful,&#8221;<\/em> but Jews are psychotic.<\/p>\n<p>You have to wonder what Trump&#8217;s cult worshippers are going to do in November. His advice in both of the quotes above is blatantly anti-democratic and anti-American. It is, however, pro-demagogue and advocates for capitulating to crackpot potentates.<\/p>\n<p>So will Trump&#8217;s flock abstain from voting because they aren&#8217;t needed? Or will they vote with the hope of electing a tyrant? It&#8217;s too soon to tell. But it isn&#8217;t too soon to declare them all deplorables who can&#8217;t think for themselves so they surrender their free will to an aspiring authoritarian, and they abandon their principles to a convicted felon, financial fraudster, and adjudicated rapist. And between now and election day they will pray that Trump tells them in less confusing language what they should do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62329\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LOCK THEM UP!
