What's it like to be a filthy rich 5-time winner of the most watched sporting even the world, who's going to celebrate by banging his supermodel wife?

Originally posted by SuzianneProblem is as this bandwagon gets bigger, more and more people will feel its okay to jump on board and before you know it, its welcome back 1950 and mechanisms like the House Un-American Activities Committee under McCarthy might make a comeback, which will make Trump's initial purge of responsible people from the helms of major governmental administrations and agencies, seem like a walk in the park.
It's the bandwagon phenomenon, nothing more.
Originally posted by kmax87I fully agree. Abolish regulations, and just like in 1929, here comes the Great Depression, and with untold suffering in this country even before we're hit financially. And just like then, we'll be stuck for 3.5 years before we can install a Democrat to clean up the mess.

Originally posted by SuzianneYou are correct, and I see where you are coming from, it's just that in this instance it was Brady and co of the Patriots who had come out in support of Trump before the game, and not Trump riding their coat tails after their win.

I was talking about the people celebrating New England's Super Bowl win.
Trump ...[text shortened]... n because they're "winners" and so half the country jumps on, too. Doesn't mean a damned thing.

Bill Maher has a message for the Patriots: ‘F— you.’
The “Real Time” host ripped into Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the team, and said he was rooting for the Atlanta Falcons to win on Super Bowl Sunday. The reason? President Donald Trump.
“For the first time in a long time I really care who wins the Super Bowl,” Maher began innocently with what would tu ...[text shortened]... me sense of humor.
The Falcon QB, Hillary Clinton, is apologizing to fans across the country.
Originally posted by kmax87Yes, but all this that you mention is also driving the bandwagon behavior.

Given the passion people have for sport and teams and given the obvious metaphor of the Patriots who were in support of Trump, ...[text shortened]... of Trump's train and feeds into this whole narrative of only the 'true' Americans getting Trump.
Originally posted by whodeyLike we did between 1932 and 1945? The New Deal was a good deal, and it will take something similar to bring America back from the brink. But like I've always said, it will get worse before it gets better. It has to, before some people will finally acknowledge that yes, it is better. It just so happens that the "worse" in this case is Donald Trump.

Originally posted by SuzianneSo if more and more people climb onto the bandwagon, at some point Trump support will reach a critical mass where he suddenly finds himself with a majority approval rating. If GOP members on the hill no longer fear reelection at that point, what is left in the system to halt the Donald sledgehammer, pulverizing every last vestige of the American democratic republic into the dust?
Yes, but all this that you mention is also driving the bandwagon behavior.
Perhaps it's not a true bandwagon, as most of those who are on it now were on it before. They're just using it as further "proof" they were right all along.

This bomb was laid underground beginning years ago, and then compounded to the nth degree over the last eight years.
