Full Metal Jacket - ... is used as a ideal to strive for

... in MAGA world.

On the 11th of october, Donald J. Trump gave another disgusting speech in Aurora. At the end he played this video (because playing propaganda videos during your speech is just the standard now):

[media=https://youtu.be/fN1IeYqYa38]

These American civilians that belong to the LGBTQ-category didn't dodge a draft, they entered the militairy on their own free will to serve (and die) for their country. But DJT still feels the need to demonise them and a segment of American civilians cheer while it's happening.

And in opposition to the cherrypicked examples of people doing stuff in their own free time... he places the drill sergeant from Full Metal Jacket. You know, that anti-war-movie Stanley Kubrick made. In which a sadistic and brutal drill sergant abuses those rookies that he doesn't like, to the point that one of them shoots himself in the head. And some of them have been drilled to being so blood thirsty, that they randomly shoot civilians with a machinegun while flying over the rice fields of Vietnam. That's DJTs vision of a great army. ... But I guess DJT still isn't fashistic to those free thinkers that do their own research inside the narrow MAGA media sphere.

Not surprising, his base identifies with movies as reality and their cultural guide. One person here couldn't understand that using "Gangs of New York" was not a presentation of facts for his argument.

@Kwek00 Right, and Churchill was the real villain of WW2. I see a pattern here. What does he say about Queequeg? A prototype of Elon Musk?

@Bumbles I can only advice you to take a look at the video. It's quite ridiculous.

The world view he wants you to think he possesses is shaped by movies and shows he's seen on his television. I guess he believes his cult is the same.
What they don't want to see is that trump places no value on what doesn't benefit him in the moment.

As far as nuanced messaging? He only sees in black and white. He saw a tough sergeant. He identifies with him.

You do know that Biden dodged the draft and so did Clinton, but the dimocratd don’t want to talk about that

@Prison1203 I do worry about American problems though. Are you one of those people that considers America really special... but not enough for outsiders to worry about? America is partially my political problem too.Or is this just an excuse because you know I'm right, and it's just embaressing to defend a coward that also uses civilians that serve as scapegoats.

@Prison1203 America is everyones political or economic problem. But I am sure the Chinese will straighten it all out soon..😷

Considering that character was a parody and used to illustrate the breaking down of young men to make them killers, and the Sgt's method resulted in a murder/suicide....ahhh, what's the point.

Holy hecken based!
I'm already voting Trump though, you don't need to sell me on him.

It seems obvious that Trump is not trying to win this at the ballot box. He is making no effort to attract undecided voters. Rather he is reinforcing his rusted on people.. So its a scam for donations. Or he is confident of a non ballot box way of winning.. The third option being that he is so isolated in his ivory tower that only the taped applause and words of his obedient lap dogs are reaching his ears...😷

And of course you were there, and participated on machinegunning innocent civilians, right?
