Showing Original Post only (View all)Josh Brolin CONFIRMS what I've told you ALL ALONG about TRUMP and the "Pimp Lessons" episode of "The Shield." [View all]
I was a big fan of The Shield from the first day that it aired. IN ONE EPISODE...and you can see the clip of you go to YouTube and search on "The Shield Pimp Lessons"...there is an episode in which a prostitute is arrested, and she seems to be "too high-class to be in this line of work," from the detectives' perspectives. She explains why she does it, but then they go to the pimp.
He says he looks for the weakness in women, the thing they want the most but don't have, and positions himself as THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN GIVE IT TO THEM. Then, once they believe that, he TAKES IT AWAY. The message is clear. You'll NEVER HAVE what you want MOST until you pledge your unconditional loyalty and fealty TO ME.
Folks on DU who have known me over the years know I've held that up MANY TIMES as a perfect description of HOW TRUMP GETS AWAY WITH IT, and it aired LONG before he went into politics.
SO NOW, BROLIN SAYS THIS:
there is no greater genius than him in marketing he takes the weakness of the general population and fills it. And thats why I think a lot of people feel that they have a mascot in him. I think its much less about Trump than it is about the general population and their need for validation.
It's EXACTLY THE SAME THING said with DIFFERENT WORDS, folks.
