I’m not even talking about authorities, I’m talking about beliefs and principles. Most people have those as well, and most people have subsets of those beliefs that they not only want to live, they want to force others to live in the same way.

No, no, no I love gumbo unintentional point of Trump‘s base being so incredibly politically low IQ they only vote the way Trump tells them too.

It actually perfectly confirms the fact that the only reason gumbo had a change of heart about Ron was because Trump told him to.

Ok, I'll be more clear - the trait that goes along with strong traditional religious belief - magical thinking (tendency to attribute causes to unobservable forces rather than observable ones) is being sorted.

From Eric Oliver (Enchanted America):

quote:
When we refer to magical thinking, we are referring to a process that makes causal attributions to unobservable forces. For a belief to be magical, it must point to some invisible power, be it luck, God, or the Illuminati, that is making things happen. Of course, simply believing in an unobservable force or forces doesn’t make that belief magical — plenty of scientific theories refer to things we can’t directly observe (for example, dark matter). Rather, for a belief to be magical, it must also contradict an alternative explanation that is based on observable phenomena. Magical thinkers assume not only that hidden powers are behind much of what happens in the world, but that this explanation is more correct than an empirical one.

And as i stated, he did not campaign for DeSantis

After you initially said "without Trump's help".

If I said something like this the next four pages in this thread would be filled with how I'm a liar.

I digress. If you mean that Trump did not campaign for DeSantis as being equal to not "helping" Ron, then fine, your right. He did not campaign for DeSantis. But you did not say that. You said "without Trump's help". Help can mean an endorsement as the Trump crowd cheers "four more years" for Ron.

Do you think Trump attacking him repeatedly for the 4 days leading up to the election helped?

You’re assuming the endorsement less than a day after Trump shitting on him actually helped.

How many votes were swayed in that time period?

So wild for Trump to publicly endorse someone who has claimed to be an establishment candidate

Trump didn't campaign for him, idiot. Yes, you are a liar. You are trying to give Trump credit for DeSantis 2022 win when you very well know Trump had little to do with DeSantis win.

And how did calling DeSantis "desanctimonious" help his campaign? Trump didn't help.

This all boils down to the consequences of your own actions biting you on the arse AS I SAID IT WOULD DO. You are mad i used your own words against you and you are devolving into SDVTiger. Congratulations!

Those people weren't already going to vote for DeSantis? How retarded do you want to make Trump superfans look?

So how many votes were swayed in that 24 hour period?

I’m just curious how politically fragile you’re unintentionally claiming Trump’s base to be. What you’re insinuating is that a significant portion of Trump’s base would have either stayed home or voted democrat.
