I think it's somewhat ironic that the white Americans claim they whisked Trump into power. Because although it's true to some extent, had he gotten the rest of the country on board, last stats I found would mean he'd need less than 20% of them to get into power ( assuming a equivalence between percentage population and percentage of voters).

I searched the internet for the word [I]Trumpthink[/I] today. The Urban Dictionary seems to get the Orwellian gist for this admittedly minuscule sampling of recognizable names with "think" attached.

[i]Il Duce[/i] is repeating Fake History, it seems.

[quote]He took 50 bullets, and he dipped them in pig’s blood," Trump said. "And he had his men load his rifles and he lined up the 50 people, and they shot 49 of those people. And the 50th person, he said, 'You go back to your people and you tell them what happened.' And for 25 years there wasn’t a problem, okay?[/quote] -- Donald J. Trump, February 19, 2016

[quote]Study what General Pershing of the United States did to terrorists when caught. There was no more Radical Islamic Terror for 35 years![/quote] --Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 17, 2017

Hmm, in the interim, it went from 25 to 35 years...

Some of our commanders did stuff like that in the Philippines, but not Pershing:

[url=http://www.snopes.com/rumors/pershing.asp]General Pershing on How to Stop Islamic Terrorists[/url]

My favorite quotation about our military operations in the Philippines after the Spanish-American war is the following:

[quote]I have said before that it may be necessary to kill half the population of the islands in order that the remaining half may be lifted from their semi-barbarity to the civilization we are ready to give them.[/quote] -- Major General William Rufus Shafter (San Francisco [i][b]Call[/b][/i], Volume 85, Number 140, 19 April 1899 — SHAFTER SAYS KILL HALF OF THE FILIPINOS)

Colbert came up with something much more telling from Pershing.

[quote]A competent leader can get efficient service from poor troops, while on the contrary an incapable leader can demoralize the best of troops.[/quote]
-- General John J. Pershing

I was actually able to track this one to a primary source:

[u]My Experiences in the World War[/u], Vol. II, p. 114. (New York, 1931)

"You seem to have about finished your work of civilizing the Filipinos. About 8,000 of them have been civilized and sent to Heaven. I hope you like it.”

Andrew Carnegie, American industrialist and anti-imperialist, 1899

The US paid Spain $20M for the Philippines. Carnegie offered to pay as much so that the Philippines could be independent.

[quote]Hillary needs to keep coming back trying to convince everyone that President Trump isn’t her fault because her media goons convinced her supporters that President Trump would cause the end of the world. The fearmongering targeted at the left was relentless and brutal in the leadup to the November 8 election, and as a Jill Stein supporter I was told on a daily basis that I was helping to inflict armageddon upon America. I was told that if Trump won, Muslims would be rounded up and thrown into internment camps, marauding bands of brownshirts would be patrolling the streets slaughtering minorities with impunity, 11 million immigrants would be mass-deported, and Trump’s insanity would get us into a nuclear war.

People didn’t get these ideas in their heads out of nowhere, they got them because every time Trump said something asinine the entire mass media machine would ring frantic alarm bells about it for days and extrapolate every single thing he said into its most horrifying possible interpretation and implications. Liberals are still to this day suffering from Trump derangement syndrome because they were told over and over again that hell on earth would be unleashed if Trump won, and then he won.

In opting for this risky gamble of telling Democrats that something uniquely horrible would happen if Trump won, and then losing, Hillary Clinton was forced into a position where she had to either (A) tell America that everything was going to be okay, thereby admitting that much of what her people had been saying about Trump was a lie, or (B) let the fear persist and try to avoid getting blamed for it. She opted for B.
...
Clinton ran for president for the same reason Trump ran for president: ego. She wanted to attain the ultimate political trophy because of the way that attainment itself would make her feel. In terms of ego candy, being the woman who helped destroy the world is the polar opposite of becoming the first female president, so she’s trying to avoid it at all cost. She can’t stop coming back in and trying to manipulate the way people see the 2016 election until she’s convinced that the damage she did to her legacy has been indelibly blamed on other people. Until then, she’s going to have to keep trying to influence public sentiment.

America was spoonfed a boatload of lies in order to force the election of what the US oligarchs perceived as a more reliable pro-establishment candidate to protect their assets. Anyone who’s looking at the situation clearly can see that Trump isn’t extremely awful because of the few ways he’s differed from other recent presidents, he’s extremely awful because of the things he’s got in common with them. By far the most evil things that he has done haven’t been new horrors unique to his administration, but [url=https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/trump-is-continuing-and-expanding-all-of-bushbamas-worst-policies-7c6b6df3c800]continuations[/url] of Bush and Obama’s neoconservative civilian-slaughtering foreign policy, oppressive neoliberal domestic policy, and Orwellian surveillance policy. After all the fearmongering and freakouts, we’ve seen conclusively that Trump is essentially a Republican Obama, who was himself essentially a Democratic George W. Bush. If anything, Trump is just more personally obnoxious about doing the things his predecessors did.[/quote]
