Donald Trump spent 90 minutes tonight spewing lies, vitriol, and hate.

He cares more about retribution and punishing his perceived enemies than helping his supporters or anyone else.

After all, the only constituent he truly cares about is himself.

@rbreich
And yet, he can still win the election. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

@rbreich It’s amazing to watch how good he is at taking all the wind out of Harris’ sails.

A true master at controlling the narrative.

@marshray
LOL. The guy was a blabbering moron. All he did was tell lies. Like the one about immigrants eating dogs. What debate were you watching? She was laughing at his idiocracy.

@BluesHarp I didn’t watch it.

What I know is that the (otherwise pretty bright) people I follow are talking about Trump’s words 5x - 10x more than they are Harris. I couldn’t tell you a single thing she said.

And that means that, for most people, Trump won.

@marshray @BluesHarp His message was that Victor Orban told him his crowd sizes would be yuge if the illegals would just stop eating all the dogs and cats.

@marshray
LOL. Seems that you are the only one who believes that nonsense. You must be in the cult. LOL.

Some people said...

Your definition of "pretty bright people" is probably not my definition. Because if they are believing obvious lies, then they aren't bright at all.

Did you believe the lie that migrants are stealing and eating pets? Because someone on Fakebook said that a friend of a friend's daughter said it must be true... Wow. Get real!

@BluesHarp Your seem to believe that voters are rational. Possibly your bubble is, like mine, composed of mostly pretty rational people.

But it turns out that apes don’t actually choose their leaders like that. They want the one who whoops the loudest, pounds their chest, and swings broken branches the most vigorously.

They’re tribal. You yourself just accused me of ā€œbeing in the cultā€ (i.e., tribe) completely without any basis whatsoever.

@marshray
You made a claim that Dumpty "won the debate". That is a joke. Even Republicans called his performance a disaster. But keep on blabbering about how some orange old man with dementia pounding his chest was enough to win a debate. A debate that you didn't even watch. Are you listening to yourself? I doubt it. Because nothing that you said comes even close to "he won the debate". He is being mocked today.

@marshray
Not only that, today he was blaming ABC because they had the nerve to fact check his lies.

When Dumpty's son tried to say that Harris was not focused, he got owned on social media. So what were you saying again about people only talking about Donnie Numbnuts? Yeah they are talking about him, but not in a good way.

Eric Trump’s Hot Take On Kamala Harris In Debate Goes Spectacularly Awry

Donald Trump's son was mercilessly mocked after delivering an epic self-own.

@BluesHarp I have left Xitter and am not interested in continuing this discussion with you.
@marshray
Also, you couldn't tell anyone a single thing that Harris said because you didn't watch the debate. LOL. Yet you want us to believe what a bunch of people in a cult said. Utter hearsay. Next time actually watch the debate. Do your own research. Instead of relying on hearsay from people in a cult.

> He cares more about retribution and punishing his perceived enemies than helping his supporters or anyone else.

As a philosophy nerd I thought it was cool that your excellent description is almost exactly how Bertrand Russell described #Marx,

> like Tertullian and Carlyle, his chief desire was to see his enemies punished, and he cared little what happened to his friends in the process.

I think the Tertullian-Carlyle-Marx-Trump rule is that if someone is trying to gather support by whipping up an angry crowd, then we should assume their interests are not the crowd's interests.

@ants_are_everywhere @rbreich kudos for mentioning #Bertrand_Russel

"..ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam.."

@ottercynical @rbreich yeah you'd think people would stop falling for the same con, but hatred is a powerful intoxicant
@ants_are_everywhere @rbreich I'm yikesing at you not knowing history.
@ottercynical @rbreich yeah i know what you were doing
@ants_are_everywhere @rbreich okay just making sure I wasn't coming off the wrong way
@rbreich That’s what SHE said!
