It's pretty clear you don't retain anything you read because I've said Biden has no path to win probably 25 times on this forum.
Oh I remember you saying you didn't think Biden would win, you even admitted Trump would win pretty easily. It was when you said "This is precisely what people on the left hoped for, everyone else thinks it's just Bernie. Come up with something palatable on the right if you want the majority to back it." that it sounded like Biden was more palatable than Trump. Which begs to question just how bad you think Trump is overall. I seriously do not think he is worse or better than most presidents in the past. He is however, better in trade and economics. You have to really ignore reality to not see the good he does do.
Yes because that Mexicans are rapists was a) poking fun and b) provoked by I dunno, Mexicans raping him? He said it before the election.
Now who cannot read? That quote once again, was taken out of context when Trump was addressing the majority of illegal crossings were the result of gang activity and human trafficing.
"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best. They're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they're telling us what we're getting." -Donald Trump
It is pretty obvious what he is talking about this in this quote, and you have to be intentionally willfully ignorant to not see that. He is not "poking fun" at Mexicans in general. He is making a point about what the nation is up against. The border guards are the ones that informed him of most of the people making the crossings. Many Hispanic people also support Trump, due to them being affected by the gang activity. Sure their could be some seeking new lives in USA, but they have to go through the proper channels. Because there would otherwise be no way to filter out the bad ones, or those who would wind up into slave labour on farms. Wouldn't you want immigrants to have the same benefits as citizens?
Dear Leader is my favorite and that's because he acts exactly like the autocrat he so badly wants to be. Ask any of the Europeans on this forum that lived under one. It's also the reason Trump demands loyalty and when he doesn't get it he acts like a toddler - he thinks we owe him. We do not and he has earned none.
I think you are oversimplifying it. Trump has had nothing but disrespect, dysfunction, and petty shit throwing at him since the beginning. It is completely within his right to asked to be treated fairly. As I have stated before, he is treated incredibly unfairly by almost all of the Establishment and media. He isn't the one in the wrong, demanding unity to get shit done, when everyone else is throwing a pissy fit because they don't like him because he is "mean". Who is more childish? The Establishment who tried to oust him out of office from the get go without doing anything wrong. Spending billions of tax payer money to do so on literally nothing? Or the one trying to do something productive with America to his best ability. It is pretty obvious. Also, you shouldn't mock people for personality flaws, as everyone has them. Few can do everything perfectly. You should be looking beyond that. If Trump spoke just like everyone else, I highly doubt anything would change, and he would be in a worst position. Trump is the way he is, because it works. Because he has been in show business, and marketing. He knows exactly how he comes off, and uses it to his advantage. Far too many leaders rather play nice, and are too afraid to do anything that stands out of the crowd. That is weakness in my book. A leader should never show weakness in front of a nation. Regardless if he comes off as arrogant.
I talk to Trump voters and right wing people all the time - that's all there is around me. But it's adorable that you still think it's all about differing political opinions when discussing people and their lives. But this is both side-ism and libs do it too. It's stupid.
It isn't about just "talking" to them, it is about being friends with them and agreeing to disagree. I feel you do not know me at all, for example. Any preconceived notions you have of my personality are probably false, since we do not talk outside of the political forum. I am curious as to what you think of Trump supporters outside of politics, and how you treat them. Because from what I can tell, you treat them with contempt, and you view yourself superior both intellectually and culturally. Who are you outside of politics, I wonder?
You're very right there. Donald Trump speaks to the majority of Americans like they are some dregs from the bottom of a dumpster. So he gets no respect from me or any sane person - he hasn't earned it. Blind obedience is not respect.
No he does not. I would say he speaks more to the blue collar workers than anything else. The fact you think he treats everyone like shit, shows me just how better off you are in life than the average American. Since you obviously care more about pedantic tone, than you do substance and reality. If he did treat everyone like shit, no one would support him. What do you think he is saying/doing, that makes people trust and believe in him so much? It is more than words, it is action as well. From my point of view, he doesn't have that disconnect that most politicians do. When he addresses the nation, it feels more like he is talking to Americans like anyone else would on the streets. He is more personable, and feels more on "our level". He doesn't use sophisticated language, he brings himself down to get his message across to more people. Why is this a bad thing? Do you care more about image, than message?
lol Trump LOVES the media. It's how he gets people like you to support him. It's certainty not job performance. The corporate media also loves Trump. They created him 40+ years ago. So you should be thanking them..
The media didn't get me to support Trump, I supported Trump due to the sheer unfairness of the media initially. 2016 was the year I got into politics, and when I educated myself on the policies they had. Trump already reflected the majority of what I thought America needed, and felt they were very common sense. I initially hated him like everyone else too, and wanted Rand Paul to win (lol), but as I educated myself more into politics. I leaned away from Libertarian Capitalism, and more towards Liberalism. I also didn't even know who Trump was before the election, since I don't watch TV and have never been into pop culture. It was kinda uncanny realizing how many movies he was in at that point. Since he has been elected, I have seen nothing but attempts and actions taken to make all his campaign promises happen. That in of itself, would make me very satisfied. He was exactly what I voted for, and more. I didn't care about the sophistry of the establishment, or the media. Trump was definitely an outsider, even if he was a billionaire.
Anyways, nice chat, but I am opting out of this conversation with you before it gets too derailed.
