    mags was averaging about 70 posts a day for awhile and then he ran off again due to too much heat I assume. tlongl posts enough to know who he supports.

    I do know he came back for a few weeks and was posting like the internet was soon to go down. My point though is just there really aren't many posters on here who support Trump. So this isn't really the best place to look for answers to how a Trump supporter might or might not think. It's like going to a Laker forum and trying to get a good opinion on what Blazer fans think, maybe not the best analogy, but the best place to get the opinion of what a group of people thinks is usually by being in a place where there are more than just a couple of that "group" represented.

    Seems both parties have given in to extreme radicles and don't speak out because they have no nards. Repubicans have their white supremacist and democrats have their looters and property destroyers.
    I hardly hear any politician stand up to either of their own wacko's. As long as Joe stays incognito and doest pick one of the squad, he's in the Whitehouse. Such a fine selection we have....

    To me it's irrelevant if there is one or 100. When someone like abm is plastering his trump crap all over the forum, he's going to get called out and asked to explain his thinking.And yes, not the best analogy. :bgrin:

    they need to be rightfully shamed for being xenophobic bigots who hide behind the veil of religion and patriotism to push their agenda. and spare me they idea that just because they vote for him, they aren't him bullshit. they condone it and should be recognized as such. I have no patience for them anymore.

    what exactly do you have an issue with?

    I think I was primarily disagreeing with " calling out the 1 or 2 who do support Trump for not commenting on everything Trump does seems kinda silly."

    The rest, yes, I agree with you, there isn't the representation. But, that's why I can stand being here!

    So when you vote for Biden does that mean you support or condone every bill and thing he’s done in various political offices for the last 50 years?
    How many people in this thread actually wanted Biden to be the candidate from the Dems in the first place, most of you probably DONT support Biden, you were supporting other candidates, and now will support Biden because he’s not Trump. Which is fine you can vote for whoever you want too, but you’d think its stupid for me to surmise that you condone, or support Everything Bidens done, yet when you expect Trump supporters (again there are maybe 2-3 even here), to answer for every stupid thing Trump does?

    No issue, I think its just silly to read, “what does the Trump supporters think, why arent they commenting?” When there is maybe 2 that you’re trying to call out, and acting like they need to answer for every stupid thing Trump does.
    You can call out whoever you want too, and shame me for my libertarian viewpoints if you want since Ive pretty consistently voted Libertarian, If you get something out of thinking you flexed hard on people who you DONT even have patience for, congrats. I can think it’s silly and you can keep doing it, and you can think Im terrible thats your choice and my choice.

    at this point, if people still support this jackass, then yes, my comments are 100% warranted.

    Which comments are we referring too... My comment was simply that I find it funny when people say, “where are the Trump supporters!” On s2, where there really is almost no representation of Trump supporters. If the goal with that sentiment Is to shame them (the two(?)) for not talking then ok, have it. If the goal is to have a conversation with why someone would vote for him, thats unlikely to happen. Whatever, “your”, comments are I never once addressed you, or any of your comments...

    I think your point was understood the first time

    Nothing surprising about people wanting to hear/read what trump supporters say about this when for 5 years they kept defending hiM that he wasn’t racist

    Trump in essence leaked white supremacy via twitter to over 80 million followers...then it was taken down...I'd say taken down by someone in his staff who is supposed to proofread his tweets...Trump is flailing around looking for a lifeboat in the waters as the Titanic goes under. 80 million got to hear the chant and connect it to the president

    I think this is semantics.

    There are three forms of support you can offer a politician, if you are a regular person. You can give them money, you can campaign for them, you can vote for them.

    Any one of those qualifies as support.

    The scary part is if someone actually proofreads his tweets...

    Of course not. The HUGE difference is most of the people here who are going to vote for him are easily able to admit to and call out his dumb shit. Most likely wanted someone other than him. I did! I think he's an ass. I wanted Bernie. I think the whol thing needs to burn to the ground, personally. It's all a shit show. But if it's Biden or Trump, that's an easy, easy, easy call for me. Feel free to post bad shit he's done, I'll agree with some things I don't like. Trumpers just spin spin spin or ignore, or support it because it allows them to be just as shitty.
