Hillary Clinton: "There Needs To Be A Formal Deprogramming" Of The Trump Cult Members"
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in an interview on Thursday with CNN's Christiane Amanpour called for a systemic deprogramming of Donald Trump's MAGA "cult members." Clinton acknowledged that the former president will likely be the Republican party's presidential nominee.
Clinton said Trump's "negative, nasty form of politics" resonates with his supporters because they may not like migrants, and are homophobic, racist, and misogynistic.
"It's a classic tale of an authoritarian, populist who really has a grip on the emotional psychological needs and desires of a portion of the population," Clinton said of the Trump saga. "And the base of the Republican party, for whatever combination of reasons -- and it is emotional and psychological -- sees in him someone who speaks for them. And they are determined that they will continue to vote for him, attend his rallies, wear his merchandise, because for whatever reason, he and his very negative, nasty form of politics resonates with them."
"Maybe they don't like migrants," she suggested. "Maybe they don't like gay people or black people or the woman who got the promotion at work they didn't get. Whatever the reason. You know, Make America Great Again was a bid for nostalgia to return to a place where people couldn't be in charge of their lives, feel empowered, say what they want, insult whoever came in their way. and that was really attractive to a significant portion of the Republican base. So it is like a cult. And somebody has to break that momentum. And that's why I believe Joe Biden will defeat him. Hopefully, then that will be the end and the fever will break and Republicans can try to get back to fighting about issues and elect people who are at least responsible and accountable."
"We've had very strong partisans in both parties in the past and we had very bitter battles over all kinds of things, gun control and climate change and the economy and taxes," Clinton said. "But there wasn't this little tail of extremism wagging the dog of the Republican party as it is today. Sadly, so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure. He's only in it for himself. He's now defending himself in civil actions, and criminal actions. And when do they break with him because at some point, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members, but something needs to happen."
"And how do you do that? Because you said you have to defeat them by defeating their leader. Their leader is Donald Trump. Even you have said you expect him to be the Republican nominee. How does this change at all?" Amanpour asked.
"At this point, I think, sadly, he will still be the nominee and we have to defeat him and we have to defeat those who are the election deniers, as we did in 2020 and 2022," Clinton said. "And we have to just be smarter about how we are trying to empower the right people inside the Republican party."1
The author of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy (not "movement") and Muh-Russia hoaxes//mass psychosis waxes philosophical over the 2024 election and current state of politics and states that she wants the only sane unprogrammed population members left to undergo "FORMAL de-programming". When 63 million people vote for someone, it's not a "conspiracy". It's a MOVEMENT.. As Galileo famously said, "Eppur si muove" to the Roman Catholic Inquisitors in 1633.
No.
ReplyDeleteWe don't "hate migrants"? Thanks Dervy, it's the most factual statement you've ever expressed at this blog.
ReplyDeleteRepublicans ABSOLUTELY LOVE H1B Visa holders and other LEGAL migrants. As for the squatters crossing illegally, ship 'em back to Guatemala and erst they came!
Meden agan!
ReplyDeleteMy "no" is re the post title. What HRC says is true.
ReplyDeleteI certainly agree with this...
ReplyDelete"And we have to just be smarter about how we are trying to empower the right people inside the Republican party."
Teaming with the Neocons to start WWIII was a REALLY stupid move.
Perhaps you could explain what she means by "formal deprogramming". Is that a mandatory DEI class, or a struggle session "Centering Whiteness" lecture from an anointed "minority" gospel text author?
ReplyDeleteSo Once AGAIN the Crooked Hillary Clinton Lashes Out Against the Republicans calling them “ Maga Cult Members”
As she is Interviewed by that other Moronic Christiane Amanpour on CNN calling for a Systemic Deprogramming of Donald Trump’s MAGA “Cult members.”
Systemic Deprogramming? Isn’t “Deprogramming” a system used by the NAZIS? How would this be done by Reeducation Camps? Would Box Cars and Showers be involved?
And isn’t it Ironic that the Hillary Clinton interview follows the FBI's announcement that it plans to follow political extremists?.Do you mean to tell me that Hillary Clintoon isn’t an “Political Extremist”?.
Hillary Clinton is still the same Dumb Ass that she always was!
The Democrats have been brainwashed by the ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY... for they have listened to the messages sent to them by the corporate mind managers that manufacture consent on Madison Ave and internalized them. They are zombie masses controlled by AI corporate controllers. Corporate interests serve as their "brains".
ReplyDeleteAMERICA needs to be deprogrammed. It starts with turning off the propaganda machines of newspapers and nearly every device that has a screen on it.
...only in that manner can you escape the hypernormalised hyper-reality of our day.
ReplyDeleteMinus: It starts with turning off ... nearly every device that has a screen on it.
ReplyDeleteYou're shutting down your blogs?
Heck no. I'm "off programming". I already know that most of the so-called "news"... isn't.
ReplyDelete...Yet you still have TDS, and likely always will.
ReplyDeleteI've never had TDS. I have TES and I likely always will. As long as I'm alive, at least.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should cut back on your MSNBC time. :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should watch more.
ReplyDelete...only if you enjoy the frustration of watching Trump escape prosecution for manufactured charges time and again. I know I do.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to enjoy watching the criminal tRump taken down -- convicted and sentenced to prison 😊
ReplyDelete...and I'm looking forward to seeing the appeal going to SCotUS and seeing the conviction overturned. :)
ReplyDeleteLegal experts predict Supreme Court won’t spare Trump from trial and verdict. Lawrence Tribe said the lack of “legal infirmity” on either constitutional or statutory grounds "provides no avenue for litigation that could plausibly result in any pretrial adjudication by the U.S. Supreme Court".
ReplyDeleteMeaning... There is no basis for which tRump could even ask the SCOTUS to hear an appeal.

I have different legal experts. :)
ReplyDeleteAlan Dershowitz?
ReplyDelete:-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
He's not a "legal expert"? Who knew?
ReplyDeleteAlan Morton Dershowitz (/ˈdɜːrʃəwɪts/ DURR-shə-wits; born September 1, 1938) is an American lawyer and law professor known for his work in U.S. constitutional law and American criminal law.[1][2] From 1964 to 2013, he taught at Harvard Law School, where he was appointed as the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law in 1993.[3][4] Dershowitz is a regular media contributor, political commentator, and legal analyst.
Ha-ha-ha... De-Ru-Pi do not want to call an expert "somebody-somebody who saying something-something"... if that not saying anything favourable for DEMN.
ReplyDeleteWhat a P-R-E-dick-table. NON-surprise. :-))))
Because IT... "believe in facts". And we know what it mean, isn't it?
Qtard: Because IT... "believe in facts". And we know what it mean, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt means Qtard is an idiot who dunno how to debate. Instead of calling experts "propaganda" (what the idiot thinks is a valid debate tactic), I cited another expert. Lawrence Tribe.
This dumb ass said "debate tactic" :-))))))
ReplyDeleteAnd calimed that my -- stating FACTS and QUOTING words of opponent is wrong. :-)))))
Am I understanfing you correctly here, little derp? :-)))))
And your endless derping and "no, you are fool" moronic retorts -- that is flawless debate tactic, yes? :-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
