I do wonder if - despite how ridiculous this approach seems - it will work. He is basically playing to his hardcore support which shouldn't be enough as he needs to keep those who came across from "Crooked Hillary" and I am not sure further right wing than the lino on the right wing will do that. But I said the same about Toad-Face Farage in the final days of the Brexit campaign and look how that worked out. My guess is that the latter was just to mobilise his mob to vote whilst the less radical people who wanted to leave had already made their mind up. Shoring up people who will vote for you even if you eat babies live on TV seems a strange way of gaining votes and this is about the man rather than the policy as Brexit was and there were other less divisive characters than Farage pushing for the vote. But I have given up trying to understand how people think. One policy seems to be enough to win a vote, despite how bad the other policies may be to the individual - the sheer number of lifelong Labour supporters voting Tory just for Brexit shows that.

The ability to not learn from history is the worrying thing. I still don't fully get the burning desire for Brexit that has caused some people to abandon their lifelong principles and saddle themselves with a representative for 5 years that is the antithesis of everything else they believe in. I get that people want it and voted for it and I get the angst at how drawn out and ridiculous it got. But it was the ultimate "hold your nose" vote but purely for one policy. And I fear the same may see Trump through. Be it The Wall, fear of "Lefties" or a general dislike of most of the Dulux colour chart of skin tones. The "shy Tory/Trump" supporter thing is telling. They see it as a dark secret they don't want to admit to.

Under the Police Box
I'm not so sure we are, at least in America, I wonder what the mental agility of the average American is, compared to say, a squirrel.

I'm not sure it's a lack of mental agility, more a brainwashing to never think outside the box or challenge the belief system. America is great, the best, world leaders, has the best democracy, land of the free, home of the brave, etc etc.

Almost from birth Americans are bred to feel entitled and superior. Anyone who challenges their programming is a Commie.

Add that to the absolute belief in Good and Bad. Good people are always good and must have an evil nemesis to battle (who must always be 100% bad). American is *always* the good guy and so anyone who disagrees must be evil. There is no grey. No good people doing bad things. No good people making mistakes. And certainly no chance AT ALL that America might be the baddie or not actually that free or not brave but a bully, etc.

Add all this up and (apart from looking a little like Victorian Britain) you get a people almost impossibly sure of themselves. Pit those people against their own (evil) government and you get the sh1tstorm that is modern America (at least away from coastlines and more cosmopolitan influences).

At least the squirrel is able to think for itself, be free and doesn't wipe out indigenous populations ... Oh no, the American Grey Squirrel!

What about the Dolphins? All they do is mess about in the water and have a good time, thus proving that they are the more intelligent species.

Brighton factually.....
Trump is the gift and keeps giving...

Now he refuses to take part in the next virtual debates "They are a waste of time"

Ain't that the truth, in a debate you use reason, logic and arguments that can be checked and balanced....

totally correct it is a waste of time for you...

The man is the most dangerous man alive.

He even thinks he has been ordered to protect his rival !!

Yeah like you protected your closets aides, what a feckin delusional retard....

Just feckin die, you ****

Thanks, that’s really interesting. To me that shows Britain has a conscience across many groupings and we’re not in the same alt-right ball park as the Cnt’s US devotees.

It fits in with all the Tory and separately Brexit (traditionally both Labour or Tory) people I know, who to a person despise Trump and his agenda. There was one young waverer who for a while fell for the Make America Great Again propaganda, but of their own volition moved away from that viewpoint.
