The Magamoron Movement Explained

I just found this channel on YouTube. Looks like it is called the "Steve Channel". I'm going to have to watch more of his videos because it seems Steve really knows what he is talking about and does a good job of articulating his thoughts on politics.

Transcript The way we got in this situation is pretty simple to explain. Uh, basically when Nixon was discovered having committed Watergate -- people thought the Republican party was washed up. But a clever staffer on Nixon's -- in Nixon's White House came up with an idea for how to get more new Republican voters. Uh, to replace all the people that were turned off by the corruption that had just been exposed. And perhaps save the party. (0:00 to 0:23) His name was Lee Atwater and he said -- I know where there's all kinds of disgruntled white people. All you got to do is appeal to them over their anger about the end of Jim Crow and about school desegregation and uh, about the the Civil Rights Act. And uh, these are the words that you'll say to kind of trigger them. Then we call these the racist dog whistles. And you will send a message to them that they are welcome in the Republican party. And uh, starting in the mid 70s to the mid 80s there was a massive change in voter registration. Uh, from Democrat to Republican on the part of all these uh, racists and lowlives and ignorant people. (0:24 to 1:09). At the same time Trump started to have political ambitions. Now it turns out Trump has an IQ of about 73. He barely functions as an adult. If it were not for the fact that his father gave him a lot of money he wouldn't be able to function as an adult. Trump has less money now than he would have had if he just taken the money he got from his father and put it in an index fund in the stock market and just let it sit. But he's gradually played around with it all these years and lost it. In all his lawsuits and so forth. And his six bankruptcies. And uh, it he's dissipated a fortune over his lifetime. Now he's had the Russians for the last 20 years to bail him out. (1:10 to 1:48). But ordinary people cannot be as dumb as Trump and still function. But Trump came out onto the public stage and started talking boldly -- like he wanted to do things politically and help the people of America. And he speaks like a third grader. Because that's what somebody with an IQ of 73 talks like. Even if they're an adult. Linguists have analyzed his speech and they've made it plain he speaks English at a third grade level. (1:48 to 2:14). This energized dumb people. Because for the first time they could understand a presidential candidate. And they said things like -- oh, he speaks his mind. He's the first guy that doesn't use a bunch of fancy words that confuse me. Um, now I finally understand what he's saying. And of course what he was saying was a lot of things they wanted to hear. They were the racist dog whistles. (2:15 to 2:31). And uh, so you had a beautiful Alliance -- from their perspective -- of racists and stupid people. The lower 12% of the IQ distribution corresponds perfectly to Trump's supporters. Now these people are so intelligent that there's actually a federal statute that prohibits their induction into military service. Uh, they didn't want to have a repeat -- Congress didn't want to have a repeat of the McNamara's Morons incident from Vietnam. Which is a notorious thing you look up on your own. "McNamara's Morons" it's called. Basically we had a secretary of defense who had the idea that -- hey why don't we recruit low intelligence people, send them to war and see what happens? (2:31 to 03:13). And what happened was they died in droves. And of course things got worse. And so they didn't want that to happen again so they actually passed a law. You're not allowed to recruit and induct into military service uh, the lowest 12% on the IQ range. Uh, but they're still allowed to vote. And Trump energized them. He made dumb people think that they finally understood politics. He made people strut around proud of themselves thinking that they had a grasp of the issues. Cuz they could tell on some level that Trump wasn't much smarter than they were. But there he was a big shot, so he seemed like a champion for them. (3:14 to to 3:44). Now, of course all these people forget that they aren't rich. They didn't have a dad hand them the equivalent of $412 million. And they can't do the things that Trump does. And they can't get away with the things Trump has gotten away with -- and even Trump himself is not going to get away with them indefinitely. But the stage has been set and this is where we're at. Uh, basically we have a fanatical core of low intelligence voters that are solidly behind Trump. They will back him no matter what he does or says because they don't care what he does or says. They just know he's their guy. They understand him they like him. He talks to them in a way that they can comprehend. And they are fanatical in their support of him. (3:45 to 4:26). He has given them what they see as dignity and strength. And then uh, at the other end of the spectrum, are smart people from all walks of life. I actually used to be a republican myself -- I'm ashamed to admit it now but -- uh, I know. I'm not alone. I mean millions of people who make sure that they turn out to vote against Trump used to be actual Republicans. Because the Republican party is now nothing but a looney bin of the very the low intelligent. And there's just no way that you can you can be associated with him at all. (4:27 to 4:54). So now it's going to be you know some range of conservative liberal Democrats again. Except that it'll mean something different than it used to mean. I mean those Democrats won't be conservative because they're, uh, racist garbage people from the South. They'll be conservative because they have some other philosophy about the the role of the market. Or of private Enterprise. Or something like that in the economy at any rate. Uh, this is the problem we have. It's basically now just the very low intelligence versus the high intelligence. (4:55 to 5:27). And the thing is going to be decided by people who don't pay any attention. People in the middle that don't pay attention to politics. Uh, no matter whether the politicians are smart or dumb -- they just show up on election day and try to do their best. Those are the people you have to reach. You have to get them interested. You have to explain to them what's going on. They have to be told [that] ... Trump wants to be a dictator. And he's got a million morons behind him that want him to be a dictator. We cannot let that happen. (5:28 to 5:53). Video: How Republicans captured the low IQ voter. Aug 10, 2024.

I agree with this man's assessment of tRump. Excepting who he thinks needs to be convinced. I think there are far more people that don't show up on election day than people who do and try to do their best. They don't follow politics and don't bother voting. The non-voters are the people Democrats should be going after. Those are the people who should be the focus of the Democratic Party's efforts.

Though, in 2020 tRump himself convinced a lot of these people they should vote. Due to his presidenting being so terrible. Many non-voters saw the danger (because it was so obvious) and turned out in record numbers in 2020 to vote for Joe Biden. Joe Biden did not cheat. d0n-0ld being being such a horrible predisent motivated people who had not voted in the past to do so. It is that simple.

But, now that tRump has been out of office for 4 years, people have reverted to blaming the currently in power party for their problems. Which is a definite advantage for tRump. People's memories are very short. Many of these idiots are easily manipulated by the propaganda that tells them Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Democrats are responsible for everything that they perceive to be going wrong in the country.

In regards to d0n-0ld's IQ, I don't know what the real number is. Snopes says that tRump's IQ is 73 has been debunked. Although Snopes also fake "debunked" that d0n-0ld called White Supremacists "very fine people" when the truth is that he absolutely did. Generally I trust Snopes, but the author of this specific "debunk" definitely got it wrong.

Keep in mind that Snopes only debunked an alleged news article that claims there is evidence to support the allegation. They looked into it and could not find any article confirming that d0n-0ld's IQ is 73. That doesn't mean his IQ isn't 73. Or possibly somewhat higher. Snopes did not debunk that d0n-0ld's IQ is low, only that the article that says his IQ is 73 doesn't exist as far as they were able to determine.

He unquestionably attracts low IQ morons. People with similiarly low IQs. Also racists. Though there is a lot of overlap in those two categories. Also evil richers who want their taxes cut. People like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk. And Mark Zuckerberg, who recently declared he is a libertarian. The primary thing these Turds care about is hoarding wealth. They simply do not care who (or how many people) are harmed by their unbridled greed. They are intelligent sociopaths.

These sociopathic wealthy Turds are willing to allow the morons who yearn for Christofasism to have what they want. Heck, transforming America into a fascist state will likely be a very good developement for them. As far as their desire to hoard as much wealth as possible goes. Having a dictator in charge could work out quite well for them. Take a look at Russia and it's oligarchs.

Well, maybe not now. Putin's war on Ukraine has caused some Russian oligarchs some problems. But these Turds absolutely look to Russia and think to themselves that they would like it very much if America was more like Putin's Russia. With d0n-0ld in the Putin fascist dictator role. This is the Tucker Carlson fantasy.

And they have convinced some people who aren't super wealthy that being more like Russia would somehow be beneficial to them as well. People who aren't complete morons. I'm thinking specifically of the pro d0n-0ld blogger Minus FJ. Though he lies and says it is ME who wants America to be like Russia. But he also says I'm a right-winger. Mostly (I guess) because I stand with Ukraine and support democracy. Because supporting democracy is "right wing" apparently.

Maybe thinking we need to bigly strengthen the social safety net is right-wing? And hoping that we can transition from the ACA to a system that covers ALL Americans, that's also right wing? And supporting workers and thinking we need to amp up unionization big time, that's right wing too? In Minus FJ's delusions?
