The key to his strategy is saying his claims as though he's bringing up something he and his audience were already talking about earlier, something that's already a settled subject that's accepted by everyone. That, as far as I can tell, is what makes him so unique. I mean, you know how those creepy clowns are all dragging Hillary supporters into the woods these days. I mean yeah, you know that, but what if I were to tell you they were eating them once they dragged them there?I guess, but is it that, or is it just random ramblings? Because going by everything of his I've heard, and that's not all that much outside of the debates because I do not watch Trump speeches, he seems utterly incapable of actually completing a thought, and often even a sentence. He constantly changes topics mid-sentence, drops topics, etc... which might be okay sometimes in conversation, but is not how to speak in debates, speeches, and such!
Quote:I'm still under the distinct impression that Trump is such an egomaniac that he believes just about everything he says, but now I'm starting to think I got taken in by that delivery style. He at least SEEMED totally and absolutely convinced of what he was saying, even if it was easily demonstrably false. The man made his entire living convincing people to give him money in spite of his massive string of failures. It's no wonder his go-to strategy right now is claiming the system is against him.I have no idea if he believes what he's saying at any given moment, but even someone with as bad a narcissistic personality as he has must know somewhere inside that he's CONSTANTLY contradicting himself...
Quote:That last part, that's the part that's really worrying. I won't go so far as some who think a civil war is looming (the US government happens to have too much military might for ANY militia to ever take them on), but I am expecting riots and acts of violence. Here's a piece of advice: don't put a Hillary bumper sticker on your car. I mean, that goes without saying for me (you already must have suspected I'm the sort who considers campaign bumper stickers utterly incapable of changing minds, and besides I prefer to keep my personal beliefs to myself in public instead of plastering them on my means of transportation), but for safety's sake, consider, like, just NOT putting that sticker on your car. I'm pretty sure the campaign will survive without it. If you already stuck it on there (you did, didn't you?) then I'd go ahead and cover it up with, I dunno, Calvin peeing on the ISIS logo or something. Just... something innocuous. Doesn't really matter who wins, just do it before you reenact a scene from the start of a zombie movie against your will.... So, are you joking, or are you actually kind of paranoid about this? I know that you live in far-right Oklahoma, quite different from where I am here in southern Maine (I live in a very liberal area...), but still, people going after cars with Hillary stickers on them? I can't see it.
You are right that I have a Hillary sticker on my car, though. It's been there since shortly after I was at the state convention a couple of months ago.
