(11,876 posts)The first was already mentioned, we had a black man as President and the bigots lost their minds.
The second is there is a cult leader running his cult. I remember two different instances where what TFG said riled people up and there were people hell-bent that it was the absolute truth, even though it wasn't.
Early 2011, he falsely accused PBO of being born in Kenya and people believed him, and some still do.
Back in 2014, Ralph Wilson the owner of the Buffalo Bills died. There were two people seriously considering buying the team, John Francis Bongiovi Jr also known as Bon Jovi and TFG before he was the former guy. TFG enlisted a man named Michael Caputo (doubt he ever paid him) to convince the entire City of Buffalo that if Bon Jovi purchased the team, it would become a Canadian team. Bon Jovi said no that wasn't true, but the damage was already done and it was so bad that the Buffalo DJ's refused to play Bon Jovi songs. Again, people still believe to this day that Bon Jovi would have moved The Bills to Canada. In the end, Terry and Kim Pegula purchased The Bills.
It looks to me that we also have a programming problem with certain Media outlets. Unfortunately, I was subjected to Right Wing Hate Radio on station WBEN during two separate jobs that I had in the past. When people are generally subjected to this nonsense, they fall into being brainwashed and I continually zinged them out loud and during work hours when I subjected to this type of programming.
