Is there any Trump supporter here that's ready to admit the **** lately has gone too far and is ridiculing democracy? Do you have balls for it, are you all chickedy cowards?
Of course not. He has stolen directly from Americans, stolen from charity, been impeached twice, is a convicted felon, committed sexual assault (and bragged about it) and raped children and they still support him. And that is just a tiny little list of atrocities he has done.Is there any Trump supporter here that's ready to admit the **** lately has gone too far and is ridiculing democracy?

This is where the problems with the hard-left elitist leaders of the party sitting on their laurels and patting themselves on the back for having the moral high-ground comes back to bite them. How can they reach out to a middle-class family of white rednecks in Alabama or whatever when they can't stop reminding those same rednecks how backward and hopeless they are in their regressive opinions on gender rights or how stupid they are for hiding behind their religion and calling them hypocrites for their conflicting stance on race relations and their hard-core Christian nationalism. Until the leaders of the party get off their high horses it won't get any better and they have no hope of being the party of the poor and working class when all they have shown is they look down their noses at them constantly. That has to change. Otherwise those same working class rednecks will continue looking for a Trump to validate their world-view and support him no matter what because he says what they feel... Namely "**** them, I'll take care of this rampant persecution of Christians" and they'll believe him and follow him to the end of the earth. Anthony Bourdain was right on that assessment for sure.
I'm going to be super honest.
I think what kills labor movements is that white people have to work together with non-white people and put forth an argument that they are all equal as laborers. White people want to think they're getting the better deal more than they want to advance their class.
Too far? That would be a 'no'.Is there any Trump supporter here that's ready to admit the **** lately has gone too far and is ridiculing democracy? Do you have balls for it, are you all chickedy cowards?

Racist much? You think the color of someone's skin determines brain function. People of this skin tone think one way, and people of a different skin tone think a different way. The thing about those who parrot this clearly racist idea is that most are convinced saying the racist thing marks them as opposing racism. Get a clue. Skin color doesn't determine cognitive processes.I'm going to be super honest.

People seldom recognize what is going on, WHILE it is going on. The hindsight of history is enlightening, but it’s the failure to realize that the past INFORMS the present that is so frustrating for those who see, at least somewhat more clearly, what is happening at the time. I can’t remember the number of times I’ve laid this on my friends: Never sleepwalk through that portion of History that is yours to live. Frustration is a mild way of describing what it feels like to have the benefit of knowing historical context, knowing demagogues appear in societies undergoing political, economic, cultural and social stressers, yet having to accept as fact that, at times like this, far too many are ill equipped to recognize what is happening. So, bringing up things like “hey, doesn’t the Ukraine “peace” talks resemble Chamberlain and appeasement?”….falls on ears uneducated in history.Is there any Trump supporter here that's ready to admit the **** lately has gone too far and is ridiculing democracy?

Am I? How so?Bucknutz is a ****ing kook.
One of the JF MAGA's literally just told a non American poster that America hates them lol. So dumbTrump’s most amazing troll job is on his own followers.
They’re destroying institutions and the Constitution
They openly use neo-Nazi rhetoric and propaganda and think it’s funny. Some of them literally Nazi-saluted standing in front of the Presidential seal and on social media.
They’ve been cornered by his total destruction of America financially, internationally and domestically, they cant believe everyone hates them. Dense.
He’s turned them into russian bots. Look at our JF MAGA’s, their arguments are child-like, posting twitter burns like it’s news. ****, they’ve probably always been bots, doesn’t really matter.

You bring up the 2nd Amendment and you don’t want to give up your guns, yet you don’t bring up how you wanted Kamala who is for mandatory gun buyback. You don’t even stand up against this.That is a problem, I think we've lost sight of what it means to be a moderate, or rather we each have our own idea of what a moderate is and that tends to shoehorn people automatically into the other camp. Take Buck calling me a leftist. I'm all for the 2nd amendment and I own and really enjoy my guns, but I also think we need some common sense gun laws to try to at least chip away at the rampant shootings occurring in our country at rates literally orders of magnitude higher than any other developed nation, but I think we also need to find ways to address mental health issues in conjunction with these gun laws so people who are unstable can't get guns as easily. So which camp am I in? Remember, I by our modem definition MUST be shoehorned in one camp. So am I a right wing gun nut because I own, shoot and really enjoy my guns and don't want to give them up? Am I an irrational leftist who hates the Constitution because I feel we need a few restrictions on gun ownership? We've entirely lost the ability to have any level of nuance in opinion in this country. It was already happening way back in the 90's. We saw it exemplified in the Iraq war when Democrats voted to go to war then immediately backpedaled when they saw this was unpopular instead of sticking to their guns and owning an actually decision. And again when Obama killed Romney because he 1) said "binders full of women" and 2) was one of the few politicians who was capable of changing his mind (on abortion no less) but wasn't allowed to do that since he was then a "flip-flopper" when really that is the kind of politician we should want, one who has the convictions and intelligence to get new information, incorporate it into his world view, and make a reasoned decision to change his mind accordingly. But no, we must all be automatons with no ability to think beyond the party line, which lead us inexorably to the final evolution of this kind of no-quarter-given politics in a race to fascism on one side and an inability to put together 2 ideas to figure out how to stop the fascist on the other and no one is allowed to occupy any middle ground. But this is the inevitable position of a pure 2-party system. We won't survive this long-term if this model of political system isn't upended with a viable third party.
You bring up the 2nd Amendment and you don’t want to give up your guns, yet you don’t bring up how you wanted Kamala who is for mandatory gun buyback. You don’t even stand up against this.
Mandatory gun buyback - Far Left
Let’s talk about how you want a department of speech. You want the government to govern our speech and online communication.
Government speech control - far left
Let’s talk about expanding the courts. You’re upset that the SC is leaning more right than left. But you cheer to expand the court only if the left does it. I don’t hear you wanting to expand the court now.
Court expansion - far left
Wealth and Billionaires. So anti wealth and increase of taxes. Blame issues on wealth and people who are successful.
Anti Capitalist - far left
You want to claim you’re moderate yet your policies are very far left (for America). You are not as far left as Thriller but you’re not moderate or have any right wing policy wants
You agree with calling me a ….ing Kook. Yet my views are:
Protect 2nd A
Don’t expand courts for either side
Pro Capitalist
Pro Free Speech
Pause immigration/ don’t deport
German style health care
Free government sponsored college
Larger social net
UBI
Smaller military
Yet you call me MAGA and a Trump lover and far right. Yet those positions do not fit in the right or left. But I’m a kook for these positions…yet these positions would bring the country together and bring more people to the middle than going Far left or Far right.
What have I shown you? Please show me where I haven’t been reasonable . Show me ripping Biden every day. Show me praising Trump every day.Yeah, cool man. Seems reasonable.
Until you look at the giant dumpster fire raging behind you.
Forgive me if I don’t engage with really anything you “believe”. You’ve shown us who you are.
You’re not reasonable at this point, and the fact that you ask us to take you as a reasonable person is kinda funny man.
