Did you happen to miss January 6?
Those kind of unintelligent associations?

I’m afraid it’s going to be those with similar thought patterns as yourself who want so badly to poke their finger in Trump’s chest that they’re going to abstain from voting and let the Dems carry the day.

He's a politician. I don't love or hate any of them.

it’s just not possible to produce that much negativity and acrimony at such a persistent pace and it not be fueled by much more than mere dislike or disapproval.
If this board woke up and stopped being a Trump echo chamber, you'd see my posts about Trump decline by like 95%. Since this is a Trump echo chamber, almost every topic is about Trump, so the responses will also be about Trump.
My personal preferences would be for the Trump topic to be banned completely from here, but, obviously, that's not going to happen. Me participating in the forum's primary (almost exclusive) discussion point doesn't show any sort of emotional response to that discussion point.

And then you go on to declare that he’s so horrid that only the uneducated and lowest classes in our society could be so stupid and idiotic to not see what the enlightened classes above see with ease.
This is a bit of a strawman.
The ideals Trumpism projects aren't the people who support Trump. Now the cult? Getting closer to cooking with gas, there. Just look at JJ.

Make it his fault to personalize his out-group status
Life gets a lot easier and more rational once you accept Trump cannot win the Electoral College. It's a clarity that returns people to reality.

No I'm talking about the tens of thousands of redneck illuminati who caused a riot.
But if you want to make a thread about those unrelated diversion questions, feel free. They don't belong in this discussion tree, though. Those questions are non sequiturs to my comment (in the form of a question).

Trump was a result, not a cause.
Never ever ever his fault
Because of Obama’s divisiveness. No Obama, no Trump most likely.

Primarily because his opponent was one of the most detested and hated politicians of our lifetime, but he also provided an energy and a sense of something new, but that faded pretty quickly. Then came his mental decline

Yeah he's clearly not the same as he was in 15/16

Forced monetary contributions to NATO. Foretold the Russian energy threat to Europe. Established the capacity for NA energy independence. Pushed through more reasonable tax policy. Etc.
He passed some GOPE policies and failed at pretty much anything else

I'm perfectly content to do it right here.
I'm content to call out your emotional targeting of J6'ers as unintelligent relative to the J6 related instances I cited.

By getting cucked by it and hiring a bunch of "Deep State" types to his administration?

They're ineffectiveness and boldness is what did this. What exactly did Trump do in this process?

What the hell?
North Korea?
I could make a thread with your underlying premise but no answer and I doubt North Korea gets mentioned by a person who didn't see this exchange for 4 pages, if ever. And this board is Trump country

I already listed GOPE policies.

Surely you can see the contradiction in your own words.

Tribalism is an American political standard.
It was the primary cause of the civil war.
Dumbass senators went out to see the first battle of bull run as a spectator sport. Fun and games turn to chaos quickly as confederate artillery landed a round on their party. 619,000 dead soldiers later it was over. All because of self righteousness.
Today’s politicians are trying to drive the country over the same damn cliff.

Even assuming this fantasy was true, this all happened AFTER he lost the 2020 election.
The Durham report was released 2.5 years after Trump lost the 2020 election. Next you're going to frame it as Trump being a Jeuss-like martyr to expose them.

I can’t help but have lingering reservations as to the effectiveness of an attorney who possesses such a overwhelming characteristic of dismissing and ignoring the technically equal possibility that his position may be wrong as much as it may be right. And that without question is the present reality. You’ve gotten so far ahead of yourself that it’s produced an unbecoming (and possibly unprofessional in a courtroom setting) tone of arrogance and condescension. If you refuse so intently to acknowledge that you may well have problems with a particular presentation, then how will you ever plan accordingly for contingencies in the event of case terminating adversity?
I guess for me it raises red flags. Maybe you just are so good that traditional concepts don’t apply. It’s not impossible. Perhaps we meet in the courtroom beyond the bar some day and clear up these uncertainties.
