MAGATS are proud of Donald Trump. Very Proud Indeed. [View all]

I’ve put this up a few times and thought it was worth posting again.

MAGATS are not sad, affronted or lacking in self respect, they are proud. Very proud.

They proud that facts and experts don’t matter to them anymore. They are proud of their leader who tells it like it is, no matter what anyone else says. Тhey are proud of the lies they hold self evident come hell or high water. They are proud to be white, proud of the privilage, and proud to defend it any place, any time. They want their country back, a country that never existed.

MAGATS are totalitarians, nothing more, nothing less. They don’t give a shit if they get want.

The Origins of Totalitarianism
By Hannah Arendt
(excerpts)

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist.

One could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of the falsehood, they would admire the leaders for their clever tactics.

Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow.

Trump is so clever he drives liberals nuts. They lie, we lie, who cares? He says what we want to hear: Our way or the highway. We are very very proud of him.
