Lol, I was wondering if they would pop up here, this is gold. I can't have a decent debate with any of these guys because there so stuck in this endless Trump loop but have no idea whats going on.
You can’t reason people out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into, unfortunately. Redhats are literally more prone to believing disinformation, easier to dupe, refuse to acknowledge reality…. It really is a crazy fucking cult. I have no idea how we’re gonna deal with this shit after T-bag finally kicks the bucket. Because these people will still be out there.
Christians, not all, but a good amount, actively discourage critical thinking. They're an Apocalypse cult and if they allowed thinking even a bit, people would see past the bullshit.
Ya... tell me again how Obama was the Antichrist but this walking bag of "sin" is the 2nd coming..
whoever Trump christens as his heir will probably get the idolization handed over to them. Or it'll just go patrilineally to the first-born son.
I believe that we are witnessing the start of an actual religion, a la Paul Atreides from the Dune books. Maybe it won't even matter WHAT trump says or who he nominates to be his heir, his followers will just choose one and worship him, claiming that he has taken up the mantle in Donald's stead.
These people definitely aren't representative of Wasilla, as I'm sure tons of people from all over the state showed up, but it's wild to see them all together.
I really struggle not to get melancholy and cynical when I see this type of shit. There is just zero critical thinking amongst a large portion of the population. This might be centered around MAGA but it's true in all demos. Our education system is a failure, and not at the fault of educators but we the people who have allowed it to become what it is today. As a German immigrant to the states, my mother always drilled into my head how easy it is for nefarious people to lead the masses into supporting atrocities. I always wondered how normal, decent people, could be led to such horrors. I have zero doubt that at least 1/3 of the country would be completely fine with sending any and all Muslims into camps. Zero doubt. And most of those people probably make decent neighbors and can be nice people. We are truly fucked for the foreseeable future.
Oh, yea, verily. Humans conform with immediate social pressures, even when doing so goes against their moral codes and what they otherwise know to be true. Even over issues so trivial as whether two lines on a piece of paper are the same length, when they obviously are not. When people are genuinely on the low end of the bell curve in intelligence in addition to that innate need to conform, there is little cause for hope that collectively we will survive ourselves.
In repeat controlled experiments, one-third of the people conformed to wrong choices and answers knowing those answers were wrong, and three-quarters of the subjects did the same at least once. Only a quarter of the people never conformed. Solomon Asch would say of the results of his experiments: "That intelligent, well-meaning young people are willing to call white black is a matter of concern."
This is not consciously learned. We're social animals, and our very survival depends on the group around us. We have other needs for acceptance and freedom from scorn and humiliation that are extremely powerful.
An asteroid sounds really good to me, but I suspect we've made our environmental bed and we're going to lie in it. At least for a short time.
It's so tragic in the Greek tragedy sense. More intelligence or more moral decency would have prevented what we're facing, but we had neither. Oh, well.
OMG!! OMG!!! This is so painful to watch. I'm so glad I didn't go there to protest. I might have come home with demon attachments and a significantly lowered IQ.
I so much appreciate Davram coming to Alaska, but I do have to say that he's a tad overdressed. It's cute.
Funny that you should mention demon attachments…….
“And next thing you know I’m like flat on my back, and she’s like going crazy and I thought that she was, uh,possessed,” he said in the video. “Once she stopped, I was like, ‘What the f\ck is happening?’ The door burst open, and there’s Berkley and he said, ‘What the f*ck is going on here,’ and I’m like, ‘I don’t know but she’s possessed, and I just came in here to get my check and, uh, I’m trying to pay for my scouting and my stuff and, uh. So, can I just have my check so I can go home?’”*
Based on your comment and the picture above, I now have changed my impressions on this man from being a weirdo staring down the camera thinking, "Are you f***ing filming me?!" to one of "Do you hear the wild shit coming out of this lady's mouth?!"
My dad, RIP, always thought the "end times" were going happen any day now. I do say that the fatalism affected his mindset and that affected of all of us. He was so sure it would happen in his lifetime. He died surprised we were all going to carry on without him. Christian fundamentalism is a disease.
Lie! They did. ‘Everything’. I mean so many good things it’s hard to name one. I mean even just the list of 1250 great things is too overwhelming to comprehend but 1250 times your idea of 0 good things. (And before you say it, yes 1250 x 0 is 1250 and I know because I heard it on Fox News not from some hateful violent math teacher).
Please know that there ARE smart people in Alaska who are trying to turn this state blue (or at least more purple)! These are the bottom feeders of the state and probably most live in Wasilla, the armpit of the state. Full of meth heads- some of which are probably in the video spewing nonsense.
I love how several people said trump did so many good things, but CANNOT NAME ONE when asked for an example. 🤦🏼♀️
Lol, Im watching that dumpster fire right now! The people he is interviewing are bat shit CRAZY. This is a huge embarrassment for all of Alaska. I tip my hat to him for keeping a straight face and not going off of some of those people.
I think you could go to just about any political rally, interview enough people, and put together a compilation that makes the attendees look completely clueless.
That doesn’t excuse some of the ridiculous answers in this video, but let’s not pretend that selectively highlighting the least articulate people in a crowd is meaningful political analysis.
There’s plenty of room for legitimate criticism of Trump, his policies, and his supporters. But reducing political discourse to pointing and laughing at people we disagree with accomplishes absolutely nothing.
I’d love to see more actual discussion of policy in this subreddit and less of the constant political tribalism. Alaska has plenty of real issues worth debating.

thats the point- they don't have to pick and choose. its a gaggle of morons.
