Why does it, often, seem, there is so little ability or effort, made, by certain core supporters of some political leader, to listen, and, even, consider, anything which may be, in opposition to, their personal political agenda, and/ or view? How can we ever, get, beyond, oppositional, partisan politics, until/ unless, there is some additional effort made, towards a meeting, of the minds, for the common good? Have you ever wondered why, some core supporters, continue to support a particular politician, and office - holder, even when that individual's actions, are contrary to his rhetoric and empty promises? With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly identify, consider, and discuss, 5 possibilities.
1. They believe in him: Merely because, one wants to believe in someone's rhetoric and promises, why do so many continue, to believe, and trust the individual, even when he has taken actions, contrary to, his rhetoric, etc? In today's highly - charged, political climate, we have been witnessing, two different perceived realities. President Donald Trump has been reported to, according to political fact - checkers, lied, or made mis - statements, in excess of six times, per day, but has never admitted, he has done so! In fact, he has doubled - down, on many of his false statements, and called anything contrary, Fake News. His ability to convince his supporters of his version of the facts, has seemed to feed, their frenzy, and they continue to support him, seemingly, regardless of what he actually does, or focuses on!
2. Says what they want to hear: While we would probably be best - served, if our elected officials, faced the facts, and articulated relevant, sustainable solutions, the President's core supporters, are happy, because he tells them, what they want to hear!
3. Self - interest, versus, common good: The ideals of American freedoms and liberties, at least, ideally, have emphasized the common good, and the inherent right to specific rights, such as the freedom of speech, and the right to disagree! However, certain members of political poles, seem, more interested in their self - interest, rather than what might be best, for the public, as a whole!
4. Persona, of the leader: When personality and celebrity, become more important, to some, than quality, preparedness, and quality solutions, the nation suffers. Public service must focus on the needs, goals, priorities, and best - interests of American citizens, rather than a partisan political agenda, etc!
5. They don't care if he lies: If citizens don't hold their officials, accountable, for their actions and statements, it seems to indicate, they don't care if he lies, as long as it meets their personal agenda.
When core supporters continue supporting an individual, regardless of what he does and says, America, as a whole, generally, suffers! We need leaders, who focus on the best interests of Americans, and protecting all our freedoms and liberties, over any self - interest, and/ or personal political agenda!
