| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | the point is that populist hillary was betting on the poc vote with the rhetoric that trump voters are white and racist.
while you may or may not be above simple shit like that, vast amounts of retards do buy it. it has created or unmasked a rather intense anti white sentiment. hence shit like this.
as bad as it is on its own, it wouldnt be so infuriating if normal people were not called nazis all the time for raising a flag or two about the antiwhite, antiwest state of the world. | | | | | | Quote: | |  | | | So there are real hate crimes? | | | | | I think this is a great point to note. It's easy for people from either side of the political landscape to toss in accusations of fake news when it suits their own agenda. Neither side will accept that the incidents they see in the news are fake so it's pretty much a moot point.
I repeat what I wrote earlier: Why is it relevant? There are equivalent stories worming their way into the news /social media every day.

but is it really equivalent?
set fire to church and write trump on wall = totally a hatecrime. turns out fake.
livestreaming a torture = maybe hatecrimish
ive said this before numerous times: no footage and low cost (body/material) to victim = probably fake. that does not seem to apply to the torture case.

Tom | | | | | I expect some regions of the US may boom. At the moment, my forecasts are on Texas and the upper Midwest. I'm not as optimistic about California. This is where Clinton gained +4.2 million in popular votes. I don't think they get it, and their brains are still in La La Land.

That applies to those you rather eloquently describe as "libtards" as well as their more conservative opponents in equal measure. | The following 3 users would like to thank for this useful post: | |

Libtards wrestle with imaginary issues and make shit up to be shrill about, and need to get other people to agree with them.

For me the absolute pinnacle of Trump winning was watching these left leaning halfwits falling over themselves to find out just where they went so wrong. And it seems they reached a consensus that they lost mostly because they focused on labelling people and shutting down opinions instead of actually debating the point.
Thus after the fallout alot of these same people talked about stopping the labelling and actually engaging in debate - yet their problem is once they get rid of the name calling you start to realize that alot of their arguments have no logical basis and are not grounded in reality.
2016 was great but I think 2017 is going to be even better! | The following 2 users would like to thank kriss kross for this useful post: | |

2016 was great but I think 2017 is going to be even better!  | | | | | I have to point out the irony of you moralising about the "name calling" and "labelling". Have you checked back through this thread and the disdain held by the most vocal Trump supporters on here for anyone who dares to question his future leadership?
Or do you not see "libtards", "left-leaning half-wits", "snowflakes" as well as the other labels casually tossed into posters' comments as derogatory terms? Not to mention the lovely  flicking of the middle finger emoji...
The most dogmatic on either side consistently fail to see the common characteristics they hold when talking up their own side. Bigly. |

I do it simply because i'm a bit of a ****. Also I find it hilarious. | Quote: |  | | | Bigly.  | | | | | He doesn't say 'bigly', he says 'big league'.

Still, it's all shits and giggles while we're all living the life of luxury and convenience in Switzerland. | Quote: | |  | | | 'Snowflake' seems to be the one that really gets their knickers in a knot  | | | | | Yes, but most people use it incorrectly then "hilariously" over-use it.
Phos is the epitome of a *Snowflake, actually. It's not difficult to get him to go off on one... *An overly sensitive person, incapable of dealing with any opinions that differ from their own. |
