False Beliefs

The following are the beliefs of those cult members who still support Trump.  They have heard these lies so often they have come to believe them:

Hillary Clinton is a crook and should be locked up.  False. 

Joe Biden stole the 2020 Presidential election.  False. 

If Democrats win control of the executive branch the government will confiscate guns.  False.

If Democrats win control of the legislative branch of the government the country will become socialistic and/or communistic.  False.

Joe Biden is a pedophile.  False.

Hunter Biden is a crook.  False.

Barack Obama is a crook.  False.

There is some kind of deep state of rich powerful liberals (rich, powerful liberals?  LOL) that is anti-Trump.  False.

Trump won the election in 2020.  False.

There was massive voter fraud in 2020.  False. 

There are some good people in the White Supremacist movement and splinter groups.  False.

There are no good people in the Democratic Party.  False.

Obama is a Muslim.  False

Obama was born in Africa.  False.

Trump models Christian beliefs.  False.

Trump saved lives during the pandemic, which by-the-way is a hoax and nothing to worry about.  False.

God chose Donald Trump.  Probably False.  Interesting theory, but must be false.  If God chooses Presidents he has also chosen Obama, Biden, Clinton, etc.  More interesting is that Trump’s political philosophy is in direct conflict with the teachings of Jesus as found in the New Testament.  Perhaps God did choose Trump to wake us up to the possibility of fascist, bigoted, self-serving presidents. 

It is very easy to prove me wrong on any of these falsehoods:  present evidence to the contrary.  People saying or writing that the above falsehoods are true does not count as evidence.  Evidence is facts that demonstrate the statement is true, not false.  Facts are verifiable, mutually agreed upon truth bits.   Iron rusts when exposed to oxygen.  That is a fact.  We can see it.  We can duplicate it.  But if your media station and your friends continue to say their iron won’t rust you are being lied to and those liars must produce some iron that is immune to the effects of oxygen to be believed.  Repeating the lie does not make it true.  Believing the lie does not make it true.  Chanting “lock her up” does not make a person a criminal and is, in fact, in violation of our Constitution.  Truth, evidence, and fact determine truth, evidence, and fact.

Passionate beliefs that are false lead to outrageous behavior such as in the Spanish Inquisition, the German effort to exterminate Jewish people, the McCarthy effort to identify all the communists in America, the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII, slavery, second class citizenry for people who are not heterosexual, etc., etc.  It is my fervent hope that sanity prevails on January 6 and that Trump does not attempt to ferment a revolt using the people who subscribe to and passionately believe in all the lies and falsehoods.

I do believe the truth will out.  I just hope it is soon enough.
