The power of the Dictator to draw in normal people has always astounded me..

Hitler, Charles Manson, Poi Pot, yes even Trump just to name a few ..... they are delusional, dangerous, and morally bankrupt.. yet time and time again we see ordinary people drawn to them,, follow them and become their instruments of destruction.

Is it a group dynamic they (the individuals who follow them) get pulled into and then fearing loss of that group just toss everything out the window?

Maybe they are cowards.. they shake their fists at the wind and yell and scream about how they are misunderstood .. how the "other' is stealing something of theirs.. but to stand up for a true moral point of view .. somehow there is something missing there in these individuals..

I just did a quick search to see what others have said about the subject and this particular article was the lead..

Look in the mirror you idiot. Your fellow DUmmies love them some Stalin, Che, Pol Pot, and Mao..

Your projection is unreal

Manson was a "Dictator"? Did his "Family" ever number as many as 50? :rotf:

Trump was a "Dictator"? A "Dictator" who left the WH after the vote of the Electoral College was certified? :rotf:

Dictator Stalin was kept in office by getting ~100% of the Russian vote, but "Dictator" Trump was voted out of office?

Leaving aside the nonsense about Trump being a dictator, why do they always ask why people follow dictators? Why is the question never “What conditions lead to the rise of dictators”? It’s as if they think dictators just sort of happen randomly.

Given their general inability to spot and identify causal relationships even when they're gift wrapped and presented in plain sight before them, it's not "AS IF" the DUm'Rats think that way. They actually DO "think" that way.  :whatever:

They DON'T.

That's why so many of the DUm'Rats spend so much of their lives running up 6-figure post counts on Skinner's Island of Misfit ****-ups: real life in society doesn't conform to their twisted li'l expectations of it, so they rarely work up the courage to leave the echo chamber, and they police it for the smallest signs of Thought Crime with a relish that would make Inspector Javert envious.

Dictators attempt to disarm the populace, every.single.time.

Trump doesn't seek to disarm the populace.

But the DUmmies and their cult leaders sure do.

Seems that is a very good description of "Pride Month" and the antics involved, namely Lieden ogling a pair of tranny tits.
