How did Jim Jones convince over 900 people to drink poison?
That is the question?
Throughout history there have been large masses of people who have been convinced that what is Not True is True,
just because someone -- normally an authoritarian figure -- tells them that is the way it is. I guess we're all blind to
certain things, maybe some more than others.
For centuries people believed the world was flat, that Zeus moved the sun through the sky,
that the earth was the center of everything. Why, because someone told them that
was the way it was.
Now we have President Donald Trump who has been able to convince millions of US citizens that
the election is a fraud. There was hanky panky that caused him to loose. Everyone else who
actually did the work and ran the elections, who actually know otherwise, say:
No evidence exists to support his claims.
Yet, people still believe him.
I just don't get it!
> No evidence exists to support his claims.< oh really?......more votes than voters for one eh u must be a dim
more votes than voters for one
dachief: that is the point. A person can say that all day long, and maybe even believe it, but the
facts speak for themselves, and to date no supporting evidence has been provided.
If you're such a believer that this in fact occurred -- WHERE'S THE BEEF (prima facie evidence)?
BTW: Name calling does not sway or make an argument True. Facts that are supported do.
If President Trump came out tonight and told you the market was going down tomorrow would you believe him and risk it all?
