Make the US Politics Thread Great Again

[Essendon12]

The “Trump Derangement Syndrome” “Leftist” nonsense is so pathetic I almost feel sorry for you. Quoting Brietbart / Hannity putdowns because you views lacks substance is just so weak. The irony of all the name calling and is that Trump’s supporters have been acting like the biggest snowflakes out of everyone.

Give us some valid points.

Thus far, you have largely; attacked the poster, attacked your perception of the posters ideology, made flippant comments about the post without really backing it up.

This is best born out by the fact you think the Trump discussion is about left and right. Trump is in the process of testing all of the US institutions and how well they hold up to an attempt at authoritarianism.

The only reason Trump is part of the conservative side of politics is clearly highlighted in a post above citing his own words… “They are the dumbest group of voters…I could lie and they would eat it up…”

I’ve never voted anything other than conservative over the last 26 years.

While it is condescending, it is appropriate " shush now Essendon12…the adults are speaking"

Of course it’s about left and right. That’s what politics is. Blocking your eyes and ears and pretending otherwise does not make it any less true.

As for attacking posters etc - Well I will continue to defend Trump when bullshit accusations are made against him or someone quotes someone off Twitter and thinks it’s real.
As far as I’m concerned the posters concerned need to suck it up. If they want to keep spewing rubbish then they will be attacked for it.

This forum as far as I know is not a private playground for people to just say whatever they like without any justification whatsoever.

I seriously doubt your conservative credentials. The fact you go to the oh so tired Fox News/Breitbart/Hannity argument that is so beloved of the Left is telling.

Newsflash: Most Australians wouldn’t know where Fox News is on the dial and nor would they even read or listen to the others. Probably true in the US as well. In fact I’d be interested to know the actual ratings as compared to an ABC, CBS, CNN or others.
