Typical Trump Supporters

Do you suppose that using words would better convey whatever you desire to express?

I think that words are good. I think that we developed words when pictures (even rolling eyes pictures) no longer seemed quite expressive enough. I think that words are a good way to express oneself. Give it a try!

ASIDE: If I ran this forum, there would be no goddamn emojis. Grownups speak or write. They don't use cartoon characters to express their damned selves.

Decent folk can write well enough so that their intention is clear from their words, and other decent folk can see that intention.

and Trump puts out a tweet with the phrase "Most corrupt Candidate Ever!" that just happened to be in a Star of David. Yeah, I am sure that wasn't designed to appeal to the anti-Semites among his supporters. Just an amazing coincidence. :rolleyes:

I'd be prepared to allow it being a mistake by some idiot graphics producer who didn't realise what that shape is - it's even a shape in MS Paint.

Jew-haters already vote Trump and there would be no advantage or point in making such a blatant statement.

Occam's Razor calls cock-up on this one.

Well, this is politics. I can't imagine why you wouldn't get political mileage out of it.

Maybe. I would normally agree, but the Star of David over a pile of money? In a campaign already endorsed by people like David Duke? And given the instances of truly vile anti-Semitic attacks by Trump's supporters on reporters who have written articles about The Donald, I think the "accidental cockup" idea isn't as likely as the "anti-Semitic dogwhistle foghorn"

And it turns out that the Hillary/Star of David/Pile Of Money meme came from (drum roll please) a white supremacist/anti-Semitic part of 4Chan and tweets by a neoNazi. So much for "oops, some intern picked the wrong shape by mistake" idea.

And yes, it was posted on those sites BEFORE the Trumpster used it.

Does anyone in the Trump camp know that Florida is a swing state with 29 electoral votes and that upper middle class Jews come here to die? While they're waiting, they vote and make contributions to campaigns.
 
Returning to the main subject of this thread, I just heard on my local news this story on how a Trump supporter made the small town of Sheridan, Indiana 4th of July parade just that little bit special...:rolleyes:

"Don Christy, 73, of Sheridan, drove a golf cart in the parade displaying Trump signs as well as Obama in a toilet. There was also a sign that said 'Lying African.'

"People at the parade took pictures of the float, and it quickly spread on social media. Many people are calling the float 'hateful' and “racist.

"But Christy says he’s done nothing wrong and he has a right to his own opinion."

I especially like :rolleyes: the "explanation" as to why there was nothing wrong with his "float":


"Christy calls himself “not politically correct” and “old school,” and he says he is not racist.

"'What is racist about it? What was racist? He (Obama) is an African, right?' said Christy."

According to the state and SCOTUS, they voted for nazi apologist Buchanan in 2000.

I've met two actual Trump supporters in the wild, a friend of my mom and her son. Paula joined the Mormon church voluntarily as an adult, not following a lover into it or anything. Her son came by moms hous the other while walking the dog and asked apropos to nothing if I had heard of "those FEMA camps, they'll be locking up the Christians .... " and mumbled something about YouTube.

"I need to go to the bathroom," I said, and didn't return until he'd left.



I can only imagine every Trump supporter is this gullible. It's the only explanation.

Phrase "I am politically incorrect" is in itself politically correct. After all, it sounds way, way better than, for example, "I am hateful bigoted violent neo-nazi mysoginist from 4chan". Irony is delicious.
 
 
Is COLONEL coming back to this thread?

I was hoping he would answer my questions in post #338. They are serious questions. I look at the once-we-kill-mothers-and-wives-and-siblings-and-children-then-they-will-stop argument and am amazed that anyone thinks it is practical, useful, or moral in any way. I want to know what those advocating such a position believe.

COLONEL, if you don't want to answer those questions, would you consider explaining why you don't want to. If you don't want to do it publicly, you can PM me; I will respect your confidence.

COLONEL?

Well, these don't qualify so much as "supporters" but "staffers". And I'd say that staff should probably be indicative of the supporters; they're the best supporters; really yuge supporters.

Seems that the AP has been delving into the on-line personae of Trump staffers..... (and Clinton staffers).

http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-staff-online-20160822-snap-story.html

Sadly, this is so par for the course that I doubt this will get much coverage. One of the staffers even mentioned that they were hired because they were all that was left out there in the campaigning employment pool. The campaign equivalent of the kid who was always the last one remaining when we chose-up our dodgeball teams.

Really? It seems that other members of the GOP... other than Trump and his apologists... have no problem calling out racists and dissociating themselves from them or at least their racist opinions. I seem to recall a certain Paul Ryan doing just that with Donald Trump. And I think that might give you a raging clue. Trump isn't calling out or shunning bigots, because:
A. He's a bigot?
B. He's willing to pander to them because he knows that faction is all he has left?

Do you recall Barry Goldwater telling the Klan to take their support elsewhere? Was that a different GOP? At least the man, for all his faulty political ideas, had a sense of decency.

You don't even like Trump. You just have to defend him with Tu Quoque arguments because he's the standard bearer [maybe pall bearer would be a better analogy] for the GOP.

Actually, yes, that was a different GOP. Then they were Republicans - I certainly did not vote for them, but neither did I feel compelled to speak of them as I speak of those since ca. 1980, The batch since then I refer to as republickers for several reasons -all of which I have covered a number of times - and basically they are not even worthy of cleaning the butts of the Republicans and they are definitely not real Republicans - just evil thugs doing their level best to destroy this country!!!!!

You can't seriously believe this.

This attitude is no better when directed against Republicans than Democrats. Hillary Clinton is not evil, Barack Obama did not intend to harm the U.S. and the current GOP aims only to better the U.S., although they may have very different notions of how to achieve that. For the most part, politicians are more or less decent and our disagreements are merely political.

(The one exception: decent men who are not entirely addleheaded should not support Trump no matter what political advantage they calculate.)

Isn't the issue about what someone considers "better"? Can't you talk about the morality of those goals? For instance repealing" Obamacare" or in other words removing medical treatment for millions of USA citizens?
