He needs to not play into that. Dont play into her stuff. You, know, let her say let her try to get you ruffled, but dont let her ruffle ya. Just keep on point about what youre gonna do because we love it. We all feel the same way. We always have for years. So, we finally have this god thats gonna come down and help us all.
NBC Reporter You just referred to Trump as a god.
Sandy Yeah, he is (giggling like a school girl with a crush) Well, like she said. Jesus then Trump.
Trumpettes?

(13,776 posts)I wonder whether they realize that he would, literally, find them disgusting.
And I'm not saying that they are, I'm saying that Trump would say they are, because they aren't 20-year-old beauty queens; ergo, they are disgusting.

(12,674 posts)Y'know, Trump's going to come into their community, put a million dollars in the bank accounts of all his true believers, tell all the businesses to just start back up and hire everyone part time at full-time pay. Trump's also going to assign immigrants and liberals to his true believers do the housework they either don't want to do anymore or assign to their kids to "build character". Basically, because they are loyal Trumpettes, their kids won't need to build any character.
He's also going to give all their special kids college degrees so those kids can do whatever they want.
Oh, and Trump is going to make sure their perfect little true believer communities will never have to worry about paying taxes, or maintaining infrastructure, or getting clean water, food, or good health care - because that's what Cargo Cult Jesus always promised.
Just ask all those South Pacific Islanders who got suckered into subjugation back in the late 19th/early 20th century.
The only difference is that Trump doesn't actually have to bring Cargo, he only needs to bring the promise of Cargo through the medium of TV and other media, and tell these people who's really responsible for taking the Cargo they deserve away from them. Since they're rather simple and easy to manipulate emotionally, all he needs to be is convincing - and since he's "rich" - more wealthy than anyone they know, it's easy for him to convince them.
Historically, it was all good until the plane with the Cargo didn't come anymore, and they got stuck dying off while serving some rubber plantation owner, without access or memory of any of the native support system and cultural ties that used to keep them pretty much happy and thriving before Cargo came to upset the way of things.

(11,686 posts)I kinda of feel sorry for women like this. They have been beaten down in one way or another all of their lives and actually believe that the mans word is the only word and they as women do not really count. He would banish them from his sight if he could which is sad that they do not realize this or worse they accept it.

(17,193 posts)I'm thinking more along the lines of Erebos (the God of Darkness), Hades (God of the Dead and undisputed King of the Underworld), or Herpes (the God of Sexually Transmitted Diseases).
Nevernose
(13,081 posts)Herpes was definitely the Greek god of abstinence
I vote Tarturus: the deep black pits below Hades.
