(22,671 posts)Their base is dwindling and nobody else gives a crap what any of them has to say anymore. It's all just alternate universe crap or treasonous action.
Like Emma Gonzales says, just ignore it.
We need to ignore all of this chaff and focus on change.

(32,748 posts)It's very misleading as to what really IS the *base* of Trump's base. Other than the bots, who really is in Trump's base? The bots are tweeting and retweeting from fake names and fake accounts, and it looks like a lot more people than it really is.
I assume that most of the rah-rah-Trump posts on Facebook and Twitter came from bots. I used to be on Yahoo but I gave up on them over a year ago, they're all bots on Yahoo. Fake account names and email addresses, and a lot of crazy stuff about how Trump can do no wrong. There's no verificatin that any of these people even exist, and most of their posts were created in eastern Europe by posters who were all paid to post this shit.
People who really are conservative, and maybe they are getting a little puzzled by the hoopla - those people don't really post on Facebook or Twitter. They aren't even on the internet very much, and they aren't the verbal types that waste time on ideas and politics. I know a lot of people like that, they're old, they watch Fox news, they read the papers, they go to church (some of them), they're really conservative but not very introspective. Those are the people who remember World War II and Hitler, some of them fought Hitler, but they can't see the parallels between Trussia and the Nazis.
If these old people turn against Trump, then he's lost his base altogether. Because they do vote conservative without even thinking about it. It's another thing we have to thank Ronald Reagan for. The Russian bots have no effect on these old people, but we do need to get them (the bots) out of our social media. I don't have an answer for how to do that, but I can see the damage they've done to all of us.

(10,115 posts)maybe, he was right not wanting to appear to be putting his foot into the middle of an election in which case, he would have been obliterated by the right and they would have carried that false flag right through to the election. But after the vote, Obama didn't waste anytime sanctioning Russia. Sanctions that trump and his henchman tried to get out the word to their comrades that they would be stopped and sanctions trump still refuses to fully enforce. So, this whole Obama didn't do anything is a false BS flag.
