    Your over-reaction noted. The fact that you think people are going to be put into concentration/re-education camps speaks to how messed up Trump has made people like you. You'll believe anything.
    I say you should work on 'cancelling' Couric. What is it that she does again? And she'll never be the full-time host of Jeopardy. Jennings is making a case for the job to be his if he wants it.

    Looks like Katie thought she was in a safe space. And let it all come out. Her method seems like it was ripped from Soviet Russia, or China. This is actually how democratic party elites think in this country. She feels so entitled that those who would dare challenge her privilege must be sent to the camps. And we've all seen that movie before.

    Don't get distracted by a loaded term. I saw the interview. It's clear she was referring to Trump's follower's belief in lies. Especially what has been labeled "the Big Lie," the one that lead to the Capital riot.

    Unfortunately, there is a multi-billion dollar opportunity being capitalized on by right wing media in misinforming people.

    Someone wrote a thread asking the question, how would things be different if Trump admitted he lost? What about this? What if Faux and Rush and the rest of those who reinforced Don's lie called him out on it instead?

    What if they called him out on all the lies?

    What if, as a country, we were able to have a debate on issues based on fact? What if we could debate what reforms to enact to prevent a President from doing things like firing IG's because they were investigating members of his admin? Wouldn't it be refreshing not to have Repubs constantly deny the truth?

    cult
    [kəlt]
    NOUN
    1. a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.
      "the cult of St. Olaf"
      • a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister.
        "a network of Satan-worshiping cults"
        synonyms:
        sect · religious group · denomination · religious order · church · faith · faith community · belief · persuasion · affiliation · movement · group · body · faction · clique
      • a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing.
        "a cult of personality surrounding the leaders"
        synonyms:
        obsession with · fixation on · mania for · passion for · idolization of · admiration for · devotion to · worship of · veneration of · reverence for
      • a person or thing that is popular or fashionable, especially among a particular section of society.
        "a cult film"
        synonyms:
        craze · fashion · fad · vogue · thing
    So what's your cult? Biden? Socialism? BLM? Does anyone who disagrees with your way of thinking sinister or satanic? If Biden got more votes than Trump is Biden now the leader of a different cult? You do know that he was heavily influenced when he started out by members of the KKK and he is a Catholic which is considered a cult by many. Is he a puppet for the Pope? You do know that there are thousands marching from South America to invade our borders at this present time.

    I do not consider all the people who voted for Biden socialists /communists or racists, just as all the people who voted for Trump white supremist or haters.
    I do consider a few on both sides as highly uneducated in history and civics, immature, and ignorant. I also believe the media foments most of the discontent in this country. All of us need to turn our TV's off and spend less time on social media and start hanging around with each other and read more books. At this very moment in history we are still not very far away from barbarianism.

    When I was young person living in Detroit, we lived upstairs over a grocery store. It had a long hall of steps going to the outside and my sister was scrubbing them down on her hands and knees (that's the way we use to clean things) when one of the colored neighborhood boys came in and seen and slit her wrist with a razor knife. When the police investigated the boy he told the officer he seen his daddy do the same thing to his mother. The point that I'm trying to make is , the children are watching, as adults what are we showing them?

    Irrelevant.

    they only got those jobs due to their looks in the first place.

    No difference.

    Of course, my comment assumes your comment to be correct, which it isn't. Couric has a craft. Melania's looks is her craft.

    So yeah, big difference.

    You've identified one reason for Trump's epic failure as POTUS. Choosing form over function.

    Your excellent point is exemplified in the comparison of rampaging, rioting, looting Blacks that destroyed large portions of American cities in the late 1960's with the SAME KIND OF BEHAVIORS in 2020. As you say, "the children are watching, as adults what are we showing them?"

    And I would suggest that what today's Black 'children' have learned since the late 1960's is that if you raise enough hell, scream about how 'down-trodden' you are, accuse the whole non-Black world of "racism" for little or no verifiable reasons at all, and commit a series of riots, lootings, and rampages, you can get "Whitey-on-the-run" and be provided a life of handout, subsistence welfare from a government that is scared to death of you!

    I'm prejudice. Melania sent me Christmas cards and autograph pictures. Couric never did.

    If you pledged your undying devotion to Couric's husband I'm sure you would have received Christmas cards and autograph pictures of Couric too.

    Why my vote was contingent on Melania being first lady. After Jackie left, the White House had a long string of dogs. Melania's gone now. Jill's Ok. though.

    we know the left is the party of FASCISM..she's just sticking to the status quo..nothing to see here but know this...most people on the left want anyone with different views to be silenced (even if its death)...don't trust the left whatever you do

    De-programming is what true commies try to do. That says a lot about Katie.

    Here we have that old tune about commies again.

    De-programming wouldn't be the word I'd choose. However, like former POWs, the minds of many Trumpists have been clearly affected to the point they became (unofficial) members of a Cult. [ Did you see that poor victim of that desease holding a sign at a Trump rally saying: I'd proudly die for Trump?].
    So, whether they realize it or not, it will take a long time for them to get back to their senses, but they need to overcome their state of mental slavery IF they want to succeed.
    Yes I mean IF they want, because it's impossible to make that decision for them.

    At any rate, it will require a long and gentle approach since they can't be cured if they don't WANT to be cured.

    Many have started the process already, so there is hope, even for the most difficult cases. And we'll be here to help them as much as we can.

    they are only referring to the ones with a cult like following of Trump, like those that stormed the Capital

    after Hitler, his followers also needed to be "de-programmed"... as in, reintroduced to the truth as they believed their leaders lies (programing)

    I guess Antifa was reading your response. At least the ones in Portland, Seattle and Denver. I will say they are hard core.
