comments from You Tube, after Trump's election win:
- As a person from mainland China, I was always surprised to see there are so many Americans who are willing to throw themselves into a dictatorship. It boggles my mind to see so many of y'all just throw your freedom away when so many people in the world still don't have it.
- Celebrity culture gets you Trump. The cult of celebrity he built up in pop culture transferred directly into the cult of personality he built up in politics.
It's not talked about enough.
- I've always been interested how people that go on about "freedom" are also so willing to prostrate themselves in worship to their "master."
- Also, freedom to them means them having the freedom to take away the freedom of others.

That first comment, by the guy from China - it "boggles" my mind somewhat to see a person from across the world using "y'all" - like, when he learns English, he learns English, even the regional slang!
Funny.
Recently, here, we were contemplating how sometimes when a person is bashing away on the words "family" and "Christian", they're really just trying to put something over on you.
They use them as "bamboozle words."
Or - "buzzwords."
Bzzzzzzzzz ... and the audience is supposed to react.
Maybe the word freedom gets added to that list. When they start yelling about, "family!", "Christian!", "freedom!" - look out.
Get skeptical.
