This is mostly a read-only community to document what is being said on other Internet sites about people not comprehending Donald Trump and how information warfare has been waged on the general population of the USA.

Also very common behavior for drug addicts:

Drugs are common things people say on social media, but people don't seem to consider the assertions made in the message you replied to.
Religions, cults, cult behaviors. People high on memes and messages. People high on Fox News.
Donald Trump behaves like MAGA followers who all consume Fox News, high like a drug on the HDTV media content of "hate others".
Islamic terrorists don't use drugs, they 'get high" on poetry words of the Quran and media presentations of a Mosque. That's how Fox News and Newsmax HDTV can work on audiences.
.3. Understanding the Problem Assertion 2: The problem is We The People, the population of society. "MASS PSYCHOSIS - How an Entire Population Becomes MENTALLY ILL"
.4. How did this happen? Assertion 3: A 1985 book by Neil Postman, Manhattan / New York University Professor (Donald Trump's Home Town) predicted all this for America's future. On February 2, 2017 his son Andrew Postman confirmed that Donald Trump was what his father's book was ultimately about.

Nah, there’s an eely quality to every conversation with an addict, a quality that remains long after becoming clean, but this persistent defense of the false reality isn’t that. An addict can be interpreted as someone infected with a dark passenger that hunts the next fix, with a narcissist there is no such separation. No empathy. No deviance. This is who and what they are while the addict can wrest control back for themselves.
The other difference is an addict can read a room. Again, another life skill that persists long after getting clean.
Of note, there’s nothing wrong with the toolbox carried by former addicts, depending on how they choose to use that toolbox going forward.
