An honest inquiry

#1 Post by wbtravis007 » Mon Sep 09, 2019 11:53 am

for the people here who like Trump (besides flockofsappybutmeanspiritedandhopelesslydelusionalundisciplinedandrepulsiveseagulls):

I would appreciate it very much if you'd be willing to describe the extent to which you watched various versions and seasons of "The Apprentice," if at all.

I've never seen any research on the question of how much of his so-called "base" is comprised of fans of those shows.

Not meaning in any way to be judgmental here. Just genuinely curious.

My wife used to watch The Apprentice and I did too occasionally.

I noticed that many Celebrity Apprentice contestants (Stephen Baldwin, Piers Morgan, Omarosa, Dennis Rodman, Gary Busey, Geraldo Rivera) became Trump supporters, though some like George Takei are vehemently anti-Trump.

They didn't become trump supporters because they were on the show; they were on the show because they were trump supporters.

There is a better chance of lasting peace in the Middle East than there is for people to make political points without personal attacks on each other.

I never watched an entire episode of that train wreck. I detest reality TV shows. All of them. Every single one of them. Yeah, that one, too.

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
