Slow-witted Republican,
Um, yes, we have done that. It hasn't worked, because "gun control" died (with all those little kids) at Sandy Hook. The new term is "massacre reduction" -- laws that reduce open access to semi-automatics/extended magazines/bump stocks/silencers in ways that result in a) fewer massacres and b) when they happen (there's too many guns for them not to) maybe fewer dead people. Seems, y'know, like kind of a nice thing...
I think you mean: used the fears of racist whites to rile up its base. That's straight outta the Republican playbook. And it works! |
This entire post can be condensed into a single, eternal truism. Whatever a liberal/progressive says, they mean the opposite. Period. There are only fifty-eight bazillion examples. “Trump colluded with Russians” Translation: “Hilary colluded with Russians”. “The alt-right are fascists”. Translation: “We are fascists”. “Trump isn’t mentally healthy enough to be President”. Translation: “Hilary’s seizure disorder, Parkinson’s disease, alcoholism, and inability to competently handle classified material makes her unfit for the Presidency”. “Trump is a vulgar pussy-grabber”. Translation: ” Al Franken, Harvey Weinstein,and Bill Clinton are vulgar pussy grabbers”. And….ad infinitum. We can pity our liberal friends, neighbors, and co-workers. That level of prevarication and cognitive dissonance must take a terrible psychological toll. But just because we pity them doesn’t mean we can’t crush them, mercilessly, under our boots. |

Holy crap. If that last post isn't the epitome of anger I don't know what is. "Crush them mercilessly, under our boots" !?!?!?!?
Damn. That some facist anger right there. |
I agree. Writ-large, liberals are hypocritical in ways and on levels that conservatives aren't. Liberals (as a monolith) pretend to be, and think of themselves as, altruistic, enlightened and high-minded when, in fact, in their heart of hearts, most are just as greedy, small and petty as the Republicans they detest. Moreover, Republicans, in general, don't pretend to be "the good guys." Look at someone like Mick Mulvaney -- he's an evil, mendacious little pig - and he knows it, and knows you know it, and he doesn't care. It's almost sort of admirable. But here's the funny part (re: your post above) your translation gotcha is undercut by the fact that the things you put in quotes are TRUE.
“Trump colluded with Russians” He did. (Yes, I know, we're still sifting through the evidence. But you watch where this goes.) “The alt-right are fascists”. They are. Just ask them. “Trump isn’t mentally healthy enough to be President”. Actually, it's matter of character, not mental health. Trump has terrible character. And (like, say, Mulvaney) he owns it. Character is for suckers. “Trump is a vulgar pussy-grabber”. He is. He'll tell you so himself. So don't argue and fret and try to wheedle concessions. Just own your mendacious piggery. Besides, Democrats aren't much better. They just aren't Republicans. It's a game of inches, you know. |
| This is about trumps base not anyone or thing else. When u cant argue the facts attack the other side. How typical. The fact remains that his base is made up of people who watch hannity and believe the crap he spews, they listen to limbaugh levine and savage and revel in the hate these monsters dish out to these fools everyday. Fu |
Were you the one who told Hillary to call us deplorable? Sounds like it. You really don't understand that it was your side that caused us to vote for Trump. There are plenty of people who voted for Trump because of Hillary. You seriously cannot understand that? It's not because we loved Trump--DH and I were appalled at him when he won the nomination. However, we were more appalled at Hillary. We still are. As for Trump--I hate his style. However, I like much of what he is accomplishing. Do I like everything he does? NO. But, the choice was clear to me. Hillary made a mess of everything she ever touched. Voting is about choices. You cannot separate them. And, I do not think you have any idea of what Trump's base is. I'm not sure I do. Is it those who voted for him? Is it those at the rallies? Is it those who held their noses and voted for him? Is it those who support him because of the good things he is accomplishing? Right now, I would vote for him again. If Mueller comes up with something on collusion, then I won't have to do so. One thing for sure, I like him better than the alternatives that are currently being presented by the Dems. |
Actually, lets be real about who is hypocritical. Conservatives run on traditional family values, responsible fiscal policy, free markets, and smaller govt. Trump Admin violates all of those "key" values. Democrats try to practice what they preach. Witness Franken, Weinstein, and even Bill Clinton. No Democrat defended Bill's behavior. The argument was simply that lying to the FBI about what was sex did not rise to an impeachable action. No one defended his behavior. Now, I have heard very few Republicans call out Trump for his behavior, which is far worse and continued to occur decades after Clinton's behavior. |
What is Trump accomplishing? I'm actually asking, respectfully. |
Please. While I would like to vote for a person because I like him/her, I make my choice on the policies. I am a Conservative. Trump is not--but, his policies go more toward where I think than Hillary's. The fact that neither Trump nor Hillary fit the mold of people I like, made it easier to vote for me to vote for Trump. If I had chosen a candidate because I liked him, it would have been Sanders for me. |
I highly doubt that a true member of trumpys base would b posting here, let alone b able to write or care enough to write a coherent paragraph. Smehow u r worse than them because u r conscious and aware of the banal evil that is in trumps shadow. Just like the wermacht general staff that appeased adolph and went along for the ride. The difference between us is that i loathe u not out of fear but contempt. U fear the truth so you embrace people that manipulate the deplorables like jones, hannity, savage, etc. u dont even care enough about your own country to b intellectually or morally honest. Fu and have a nice day. |
He is terribly angry and delusional. Best to ignore him; he thinks he’s intellectual, but he’s a failure, couldn’t hack it at an excellent, most competitive school, and relies on this site to vent his spleen. Pretty pathetic. Let it think it’s winning. |
When u cannot debate u make personal attacks. Typical |
I was an early poster, who pointed out that it is the LIBERALS who are fear-mongering in order to scare minorities - traditionally, their base - to the polls, since turn-out is key to a Democrat win. I specifically called out the false and horrible comparisons to Hitler......essentially saying, "vote Democrat or the racists will get you!" And, right on cue, we have the liberal above demonstrating my point, comparing Trump to Hitler, with the expected FU thrown in for good measure. |

So, what are the liberal equivalents to alex jones, hannity, limbaugh, savage, etc. ? These rightwing media whores that are the conduit that stokes the fears of the ignorant. When i say fu i mean it woth the utmost affection btw. |
