[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I know lots of really good Republicans.  I know lots of really good Conservatives.  I don't know any good people who support Trump.  That's the line.  You cannot be a good person and a Trump supporter. They are incompatible.  [/quote]

Agree. There are no good Nazis, no good rapists, no good Kluckers, no good terrorists, ... and there are no good Trump supporters. They all need to be removed. They know what he is doing. They are supporting an anti-American traitor and thief. They are a threat to our society and should be removed. [/quote]

This does sound like Nazi thinking. How ironic it is that it's coming from a liberal. I have one question for the OP and pp. Do you really want to live in a country where everyone thinks like you, supports what you do, votes like you, etc. That has happened in history many times before and we know how those countries turn out.[/quote]

I definitely don’t want everyone to think like I do. But you don’t let a rabid dog sleep in your house. Traitors are subject to the law. Anti-American trump supporters are bad for the county. “Making america great again” requires removing such traitors from society. [/quote]
How do you propose "removing" them?[/quote]
We don't literally "remove" them.  We cut them out.  Let them know their attitudes are unacceptable, via ostracization and shunning.[/quote]
Shunning doesn't work when it's half the population.[/quote]

Why not?

[/quote]
You shun them, they shun you.  Half the population doesn't speak to the other half.  No  nation can last long under those conditions.  Rhat's even assuming you can get someone like me to go along with it.  I will not shun  my Trump-voting relatives and friends under any circumstances.

So  then what? You shun me too for talking to my own family?  How many people are you going to have left in your shunning campaign?[/quote]

You do you.

Leave the shunning to the people who would be THRILLED to never have to ever talk to Trump turds again. 
[/quote]
Right, so a small fraction of the people is going to ignore a different fraction.  Sorry that's not ostracism works.  Nobody is going to get the message you are sending.  They are just going to think your a snob.[/quote]

Again, you do you. If you want to send a stronger message, go ahead. 
[/quote]
You don't get it.  Ostracizing is COMMUNITY activity.  You have to have overwhelming numbers to send the message.  What you are doing is picking up your marbles and going home.  I hope you realize that the other kids laugh at you when you do that.[/quote]

If you’d like to organize people to send a larger message, feel free. I’m happy to continue shunning the Trump supporters I know and meet. Those turds don’t deserve any extra effort on my behalf. Although maybe I’ll go to the effort to give them all pink pussy hats for xmas. I think that will go over well.

Go nuts though. Report back how it goes.
