As normal people watch our international stature diminished and Republicans swear people respect us more... I’d have to agree with you.


All you have to do is look at the foreign press to see the jokes and dismissal since the 2016 election. It's not good. Our gun violence problem alone has the rest of the world befuddled.

The rest of the world can plainly see that Trump and conservatives are an incompetent, hypocritical joke.

Lumping all conservatives together as a single monolith reveals the bigotry you portend to despise. Hypocrite.



Do you equate "conservative" with "Trump Supporters?"

I don't, but somehow, the actual conservatives seem to be going along with Trump, which maybe creates the problem for which you blame dems.

Oh please. Did you stay home on election day, or did you vote for Trump?

Conservatives = people who didn’t try to keep Trump out of office and continue to do nothing about Trump

U r wrong. 11/18 will b a huge turning point. Gop is as good af


What does your post mean? What is "Gop is as good af"?

DP. Democrats throw around the f word a lot.


It's a beautiful word. Should be used more.

They keep trying to pin his Hideousness on the Democrats, but if they were really proud of him, they'd be proud of it. Instead we get regular, "this is why Trump won" remarks. Own it. Take your fear-fattened amygdalas and take responsibility for this plague you have wrought upon us with your inability to read people or positions.

Yes, if they are so proud of hoarding guns and letting Fox news scare them, them own it. Admit you are proud of Trump and whatever he does.

Hillary wasn’t and isn’t disgusting. I voted for her in both her primaries and I’m proud to say I voted for her in the 2016 general, too. She had a vision for America, detailed and well laid out. She had a kind and forward looking vision, and I will continue to go in the direction of progress. Not toward fear and ignorance.

From reading this forum today, I would say that if DCUM is a representation of the trump base, it is true stupidity (as in stunningly low IQs) and pure ignorance that fuels the trump fan base.

Honest to God, I had no clue there were so many delusional and idiotic trump supporters in DC. I have never seen such poor reasoning, failed logic and misrepresentation of actual facts in one place like this before! Eye-opening to say the least. And then when the trump supporter is clearly proven wrong, they come back with "libshit" childish names and vile descriptions on how the poster wouldn't give you "the stream off his piss".

Who are these under-educated and creepy people?!

There are tons of them. I am from the midwest and they are all over. I was not surprised that Trump won. In fact, in the primary, I voted for Kasich even though I am a Dem because I was worried about it. I have lived around these people my entire life and it is frightening.

Honest to God, I had no clue there were so many delusional and idiotic liberal supporters in DC. I have never seen such poor reasoning, failed logic and misrepresentation of actual facts in one place like this before! Eye-opening to say the least. And then when the liberal is clearly proven wrong, they come back with "Nazi, racist, sexist, white supremacist, Repugs, Russian, troll" childish names and vile descriptions on how the poster wouldn't give you "the stream off his piss," and then they predictably tell you to "STFU!"

They certainly do. Plenty of liberal posters here who can't construct a coherent paragraph (much less sentence) without resorting to multiple uses of f**k. They use profanity as a crutch because their actual thought process is so limited. And of course, when all else fails: they seem to feel they've won the debate by throwing out a resounding "STFU!" Biggest bunch of toddlers I've ever come across.
