^^ "Problem is the people", but how are you going to change their minds when they are being force-fed disinformation 24/7 via the internet.

Problem is they do not know any better and therefore, they are convinced what they know is the truth and everybody else lies.

Vaccines preventing Covid? Lie.
Global warming? Lie.
Biden is honest? Lie.
Trump lost 2020 election? Lie.
Trump is evil? Lie.

Scapegoating is what humanity does best. Tribalism and religiosity does it. Russian communists did it. Italian fascists did it. German nazis did it. And 1950's Americans did it...beginning with McCarthy, continuing in Vietnam, exploding with "bad gubmint...bad!!!" Reagan bullshit. Finalizing with Tea Party/MAGA mind numbing populism where anybody who isn’t white and christian is the problem. I have no hope for this country ever being any better.

Humanity are locusts, with a little bit of intelligence and way too much trchnology. Sooner or later wherever civilization emerges, everything dies. Including us at some point. And then the planet will go back to its pre civilization state and the noble beasts and bugs will once again live free of the scourge of humanity.

DiNiro is a New Yorkers at heart and most if not all New Yorkers hate Trump and have been hating him for a long time. They have known who and what he is and were probably shell shocked when he won the presidency. When he changed his domicile to Florida, they celebrated.

DiNiro is just doing his part as a loyal New Yorker. Unfortunately, it's only helping Trump nationally. The more we hate Trump, the more his cult loves and forgives him for all his excesses and now even crimes that we would go to prison.

Quote:
David Alexander, an engineer who attended the Iowa Faith and Freedom dinner last month, called the absent Donald Trump “arrogant” and “egotistical” while praising a raft of other Republican presidential candidates who attended.

“The people that don’t like him. … When they dislike him, it helps me like him more,” said Alexander, 61, who called Trump his top choice in the 2024 nominating contest. “If they ignored him, I probably wouldn’t like him as much. Does that make sense?”
Not really. People like this Alexander are just justifying their adoration of Trump and does not have to make sense.

I think they are showing the motivating power of hate. They hate the people they think of as the enemy. Throwing Trump at them is a way to attack. And of course, in the culture war, they do adore their champion.

Time for a little humor break? I read this, and an old "light bulb" joke popped into my head.

How many New Yorkers does it take to change a light bulb?

None of your fuckin' business.

There is a clear defined line of demarcation of the past and present purpose, and future vision of and for the USA between Trump supporters for dictatorial authoratarian autocratic governance, and the arc of Constitutional governance under a democratically accountable Republic of enforcable laws and statutes.
