A typically thoughtful and entertaining read from Brent, and encouraging support for the idea that Trump's performance at the Town Hall red-pilled a large number of MSM propaganda victims.
Trump had won over not only that audience in New Hampshire, he’d no doubt converted hundreds of thousands watching him all across America, some of whom had NEVER seen him unfiltered before.
By the way, this is how Trump converted ME.
After he won the primary in 2016 I’d resolved to watch one of his big EGO DRIVEN worship session called a Rally.
So I’d be able to assess accurately HOW America had lost her way into the Obama/Hillary “Inevitable” Serfdom.
So I watched Donald Trump for two hours sans a teleprompter talk about his love for our Nation and the American people.
I WAS FLABBER-MUH-GASTED!
And then I was angry.
I realized I’d been lied to about this man for years.
. . .
Rick Wilson also PERSONIFIED Trump’s Enemies as he HOWLED the equivalent of
“what the ever loving FUCK were you people THINKING at CNN giving Trump this chance to speak to millions of Voters who otherwise only hear about Trump **THROUGH US!!?”
. . .
All of the FEAR AND DOUBT being felt by millions of Trump supporters about his appearing at such a hostile venue has now been TRANSferred to his apoplectic enemies in DC.
I wondered about that group, Wictor and the Cates brothers, as well, first on Twitter and then at Mastadon. I've come to believe they probably were just being truthful about their beliefs, although I don't think we can ever know another's motivations for certain.
Like a lot of us here, I too had a similar change of perspective, in this case about Trump himself: I knew little about him when he announced for the Presidency, and a flamboyant, wealthy celebrity who enjoyed showing off how rich he was didn't seem promising. I wasn't a Trump-hater but WAS concerned he'd be just another RINO warmonger and big-government pusher. His speeches and debate responses began to change my mind on that, but it really wasn't until I got to see what he was actually DOING in the White House that I understood how lucky we had gotten.
