“We see you haven’t voted yet. Your voting record is public,” a recent mailer to Texas Republicans says. “Your neighbors are watching and will know if you miss this critical runoff election. We will notify President Trump if you don’t vote. You can’t afford to have that on your record.”
The thing about a "strong" "leader"? Eventually you'll be the one targeted when things get desperate enough. No matter how much you think you are the kind of person who wouldn't be.
The whole mentality behind this speaks to some notion that Trump supporters have about being rewarded, or favored by participating in the movement?
Maybe that's why some participate in rallies and advertise their allegiance?
I think it's more nefarious than that. There are folks that have made Trumpism their identity, and this plays against the fear of being ex-communicated from the group.
People choose death over being ostracized, and the folk running this know that well. Being part of the larger group and showing allegiance is why so many look past logic and reason and continue to support the group.
Yes, their whole thing is obedience for the in-group, and punishment (or death) to the out-group.
Donate to MAGA today, and you too might not be left behind for the rapture … er election.
I think you hit it.

@futurebird Leapords, faces, etc.
It's obvious in hindsight. People like Trump come to power by exploiting people's fears, and use fear to maintain their power. Why *wouldn't* they do this?
@futurebird This is called leopards eating your face. It was all cool as long as it was happening to all those folk over there that you didnt care for or didnt like. Now that its happening to *you*....
This is what happens when you dont stand on consistent principles. Dems are also guilty of this in different ways.
@futurebird
They do that shit all the time with fundraising, too.
"Donate and we'll tell Trump you're a TOP SUPPORTER!"
"Trump looked at the list of donors and asked why YOU aren't on it."
The fact that it actually works says everything you need to know about his base.
@futurebird Threatening voters with retribution for not voting for Trump is still organized criminal intimidation/ coercion & voter tampering, right?
