It saddens me that any poster, right or left would be such a partisan that he/she can only spout the company line and not think independently of the talking points.

This thread is not a "cover". I didn't find it on drudge and repost. I read trump's quotes, and found his tweets myself. So dont accuse my of not thinking independently. This is my take.

We're 2 pages in with 0 on-topic responses to the OP. In fact, it's been weeks since I've read a semi-reasoned post from a Trump supporter. All you have at this point is "melt".

Trump being critical of someone by telling the truth bluntly isn't being mean.

You've never lived in NYC have you?

Let me explain it in the form of a joke.

What's the difference between a Californian and a New Yorker?











A Californian will stab you in the back.






















A New Yorker will stab you in the front.

It's a surefire way to make your opponent not only unaffected by your words, but also think of you as being another cultist reading off a tired script of go-to phrases and insults.

By all means, if your goal is to make yourself feel better by blowing a rage wad all over some anonymous rando, then go bananas. But don't for a second think your trite little exclamation is making a dent in the conversation. By adapting the lingo of the mob, you're far more likely to make people further affirm their own beliefs.

But even worse than that, using a put-down popularized by one specific cluster of people doesn't only pigeonhole the person you're trying to insult; it also pigeonholes you. If someone was trying to convince me of some injustice and in their argument used the words "shill" or "sheeple," my stupid human brain would automatically start associating them with the hogwash 9/11 truther movement. Similarly, if I read the word "cuck," I automatically doubt the validity of every word after.

Being unique in the way you speak goes a long way to convince someone you're not another, well, sheeple. And if you've put independent thought into your personal convictions, don't you want to convey it as independently and while avoiding the same tired insults? Because I'm not saying you can't insult other people ... just that you need to be more creative when you do. Don't call the next angry liberal an "SJW." Instead, go with "offense connoisseur" or "turtleneck colon-dweller." Not all conservatives have to be "rednecks" or "Nazis" either. You can go with "reverse-Lincoln" or "Hitler's street team" instead. The only limit here is your imagination and empathy.

Some of those tweets, especially about Jeb and Mitt weren't mean, they simply stated what many knew about them.

Threads like this serve no purpose. The battle lines have long been drawn in this war and make no mistake this is a war.

Your side consisting of the liberal, democrats and progressives with your interference running buddies at the MSM clinging to this smoke screen Russian narrative. The GOPers who some argue (sometimes effectively) that they are actually part of the uniparty with the Dems. You also have to consider the IC as a participant in this conflict. Finally, there is Trump and his supporters.

The game of the left and GOPers is clear - take down, disembowel, neuter or delegitimze Trump's presidency. That's the game - we all know it - so your petty threads about Trump really serve no purpose, don't change the hearts/minds or score points and do nothing, but further erode any remaining credibility associates with your username.

Calling Trump a "clown" and other derogatory names right from the first day he entered the race for POTUS started this ball rolling.

The Trump haters can stop the ball rolling by admitting they were wrong to do that.

However, I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for them to do it and until they do I'm fighting fire with fire.

What bothers a lot of people is his bloviating nonsense and constant personal attacks on people who simply disagree with that bloviating blowhard.

It is so obvious that Trump's victory consumes you. You post the relatively same thread once or twice per day. It's eating you up inside. You're in for a long eight years. Get help for that adjustment disorder.

You are a perfect example of what I'm talking about.

Trump took on Trump haters like you who insulted him and he insulted Trump haters like you back better than Trump haters like you insulted him.

It pissed off Trump haters like you sooooo much that Trump haters like you went nuts after he won.

Now go frick yourself!

Trump is the only person outside my family I would take a bullet for

He sacrificed his reputation, wealth and life to fight shadow powers and make America great for us and our children. I will stand by him always.

Melting lefty snowflakes trying to call Trump supporters snowflakes is definitely something you got from the democrat hive mind.

So yeah, you're a hack.

There's nothing wrong with that when it's directed at an illegitimate president which Trump most certainly is.


FBI will be getting back to us on that subject in due time.

In case there were a few among our national security agencies that weren't 100% committed to determining if Trump and his campaign committed treason,

this indefensible firing of Comey will have thousands of agents pretty fired up.


Trump is toast. It's just a matter of time now.
