[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This weekend I read an article in the Economist that condescendingly referred to Trump's supporters as "wrinklies."  This made me, a 30-something liberal female attorney, so mad!  How dare the writers of the Economist disrespect the american voter!  In a democracy, the government listens to the people and not the other way around. The liberal elite should not be allowed to impose their own version of the rule of law on America. Over the last twenty years the First Amendment has been almost completely obliterated by the idea of political correctness.  People are afraid to say even the simplest things for fear of being misunderstood.  Hell, saying "Merry Christmas" is no longer socially acceptable.  Laws are enforced at will, or not at all, and the  liberal elite feels entitled to disrespect the average Americans, off whose backs they make their living. [b]And this is precisely why people support Trump - because he does not seek to "improve" or "educate" an average voter, but instead shows him respect and actually listens to their opinions - something that, you know, in a democracy, an elected representative is supposed to do.

1.  Why are you so angry about something published in the Economist?
[b]
2.  American voters deserve disrespect and ridicule if 35 present think Trump is qualified to be President.[/b]

3.  The government doesn't necessary listen to the people in a representative democracy. Look no further than opinions on gun control.

4.  The "liberal elite"?  Are you for real?  You aren't very familiar with the Economist.  It's mostly British writers are all over the map on issues.

5.  You must not have done very well in ConLaw if you think the First Amendment is in danger from "political correctness."  Only you and wrinkly old idiots who watch Fox believe that red coffee cups are part of a systematic War on Xmas.

6.  You blew what little credibility left by claiming that Trump listens to and respects the average American.

Your no liberal and undoubtedly a terrible attorney not working in the legal field.[/quote]
... and the PP just proved my point...  :roll:

I think maybe PP was just fed up with your refusal to see reality. Because yes, saying that Trump listens to and respects the average American is not supported by his attitude towards: 1. immigrants 2. the disabled 3. Muslims 4. women. I would argue that any one of these categories are chock full of "average Americans"[/quote]
