What about words like “racist”, “discrimination”, “cis-gender”, etc.?

welfare reform,
Then promptly ran away from it and blamed Republicans.

no child left behind
If you can find me a liberal today who claims this one and doesn't put that 100% on Bush, you let me the frick know.

mccain-feingold
You call that a LIBERAL compromise? LOL. Mmkay.

budget act of 2013
Dear God.......you're serious.

OK. I admit it. If the Republicans manage to legistlatively box Democrats in to the point that they have to let something pass to avoid political suicide, we can get them to do it.

And even then, the Republicans got basically nothing. But go ahead. Hang your had on a CR in which the Democrats gave up literally nothing.

Why are you laughing? You literally just did it in this thread.

Don't ask for people to talk middle ground with you and then dismiss their opinions as merely products of "Trump".

Hey, I'm willing to find "middle ground" but you stupid assholes have to all acknowledge that I'm much more above it all than any of you first!

OK. It's very conservative.

You can't tell because you're so far over there but its just about as biased as DU
This is just such a moronic statement that is completely unsupportable.

You aren't even a very liberal poster on this board but if you went to DU and were as out of the mainstream of the board there as you are here, you wouldn't last a week.

LOL. Wut? That's like saying, "well, the armed robber is just as bad as the murderer........just without the killing part".

Funny part of this thread is that the behavior of the OP in the thread is literally the answer to his "middle ground" question in the OP.

This is why machine. THIS THREAD is why.

HailMichigan and I invented Trumpkin in mid-2015. I'm still excited about having a silly word make it into casual political discourse.

Interestingly, in 2015, I was very anti-Trump.

I guess that means that at some point, I was on the side of the non-Trumpkins.

Yet. Interestingly, I never used that shite either.

Calling yourself something doesn't make you that thing.

But no, you can't find middle ground because you can't even acknowledge that ideas other than your own are genuinely held ideas.

What can I say? I hate the "cuck" shite and I'm reasonably certain I started a thread on it trying in vain to curtail it.

I hate Trumpkin, Dotard, Obamabot, Killary, etc etc.

They all lessen any argument they are attached to.

can't blame the LP for trying to create a new brand of libertarianism in the US vs what has existed for centuries outside the US

I'm not a fan either, but this is a message board. Without some degree of light hearted trolling and name calling, it isn't any fun. We shouldn't take ourselves so seriously. Imagine if everyone were as self assured as NT74?

I prefer foul language and dank memes to color my message.

Are you laughing because you think this isn't true?

Cause, I mean, it's sort of obviously true.

How can you talk to me if I dismiss every idea you have as not being your own but merely things you say because you're a bigot, or Obamabot, or some other silliness?

The only way to converse is if the two parties assume that each of them honestly believe what they say they believe.

You can think their belief is idiotic, but, you can't even converse if you don't acknowledge it is genuinely held.

Doesn't preclude jocularity. I can have fun chopping it up (as the kids say) with all but 4-5 people on this board--even when we're being dicks to one another.
