The adoration of the crowds....


Posted: Sep 6, 2012

I've watch both conventions and the thing that fascinates me (and disturbs me at the same time) is the adoration on the faces of the crowd when the camera pans the audience....

You (in the royal sense) KNOW that the candidates are up there lying, but the audiences eat it up like candy.  It reminds me of a church revival meeting.

I wonder if they bother to do any of their own research. Scary stuff.

see what you did at either convention. Just normal people enjoying coming together to accomplish something they believe needs to be done.

BTW, that "worshiper" type that scares you? Me too. Every large evil ever happened on this planet was perpetrated by people engaged in what they'd convinced themselves was righteous action.

There's a difference between what hate for an opponenvs - support for a candidate and platform looks like.

Bernie Sanders Draws Largest Crowds--didn'tAug 17, 2015
Over the weekend, when both men stumped across Iowa, rampant controversy raged across websites about their respective audiences. Trump insisted his crowds at the State Fair were the largest for any candidate. Sanders' supporters upheld their claim to the same distinction. More objective observers tended to side with Sanders, while also noting that Trump's throngs were at least partially drawn to his helicopter, in which he gave rides to children, among others. http://www.npr.org/s ...
