Yeah but you weren't supposed to take him seriously! Or you were supposed to take him seriously but not literally, or something.
(Note that if you express concern about the stuff he talks about doing now, like invading Greenland or Panama or having a third term or cancelling elections, people will still dismiss you as hysterical and say you shouldn't take it seriously.)
I thought about it once and I thought about it once more, but I don't understand what double-think is supposed to be.(This is coming from a non-native speaker)
It's believing two things at the same time that can't both be true. Like Covid is a hoax and doesn't exist but also it was created in a Chinese lab. They will argue both ways to suit their needs and they don't even realize that they're doing it a lot of the time.
"Double-Think" is a term that originates from George Orwell's novel 1984. It means basically holding and believing 2 contradictory opinions at the same time. The Party - the book's totalitarian government - uses it to control the populace.
Double-think is a mostly self indoctrination tool where someone believes two completely contradictory facts at the same time normally with extra categories that also don't make any sense.
This makes it so that you can never debate or argue the real subject.
An example would be the color red is yellow; the color red is blue.
Now you know that is not true, but if you went to talk to them about it the conversation would go:
Red is not yellow.
I know, because red is blue.
No red is not blue.
I know, because red is yellow.
No red is the red.
Correct, but we are not talking about red, we are talking about the color red. The color red is yellow, and the color red is blue.
He’s just an avatar for them to project whatever their interpretation of the perfect president is. It’s literally never mattered what he actually said to them. We are circling the drain and they’re still telling themselves they’re winning.
Honestly, replace "DJT" with "the Bible," and it describes the religious mindset of most of the hypocritical Protestant and/or Evangelical assholes that voted for him.
