Epic High Five posted:Trump said ... Muslims should all wear patches announcing their faith. I don't remember this and I've been following Trump pretty closely, are you 100% sure? Edit: I looked it up and he didn't say he supported this, but did say that he "wouldn't rule it out." Which is probably just pandering, but still pretty bad, and reminds me of why his chances in the general are so low. Jewel Repetition fucked around with this message at 04:06 on Jan 25, 2016 |

Voyager I posted:Question for the apparently unironic Trump supporters who have recently appeared; are you recent converts, or have you been quietly supporting him for some time before choosing to make your loyalties public? If the former, what was it that brought you over to his side, and if the latter, what was it that made you decide to come out with your support? I've opposed the idea of uncurtailed immigration for most of my life, both from culturally backwards Islamic countries and from poorer countries that simply provide an easily exploitable cheap labour force for the rich to drive down the wages and conditions of legal workers. I also don't see anything inherently wrong with nationalism in and of itself so long as it doesn't cross over into jingoistic expansionism - And Trump was against the Iraq war. I also want a social democracy as laid out by Bernie Sanders.

If the former, what was it that brought you over to his side, and if the latter, what was it that made you decide to come out with your support? Trump support was a gimmick but somewhere along the way I decided I was actually going to vote for this beautiful madman. Serious for a moment: I think Trump is completely full of poo poo on a lot of his "conservative" positions and that other candidates would be FAR more likely to actually reduce MY family's income tax burden, aggressively combat unconstitutional state and local laws that violate the second amendment, reduce federal spending and return us to the GOP fiscal restraint of the 1990s, etc. I also, however, think he is 100% genuine when it comes to his economic nationalism and despite the tired stereotype of Republicans not caring about others I actually really loving care a lot about my fellow American and am willing to eschew candidates more likely to personally benefit me financially or strongly crusade for my pet constitutional issue in favor of helping my fellow man get out from under the boot of the Bushes, the Clintons, the GOP, the DNC, Wall-Street, and all of the free-traders and open borders globailists who are destroying them. I actually do care about the black Americans in inner cities missing out on jobs at places like linen services for example where most of the jobs are going to people from places like Guatemala. I actually do care about tech dweebs on the left coast who train their replacements and then have their lives torn apart economically. I actually do care about people in my part of the country who are less fortunate than me. Donald Trump is an rear end-hole of the highest order and absolutely a phony when it comes to his conservative turn. But I am convinced he's genuine when it comes to saving this country and saving the American worker from screwing they've been getting for a LONG, LONG time. We can focus on getting a budget slashing, bill of rights crusading, conservative champion for POTUS AFTER Trump if he wins. But there's no point in fighting for conservative principles if they're going to be instituted in a country that has become a festering 3rd world poo poo-hole. Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush are more of the same poo poo. Bernie Sanders is a joke who would just put the decline on fast forward by taxing the poo poo out of the middle class directly, and indirectly via insane deficits. There's only one serious candidate when it comes to serving the AMERICAN people, and ironically enough it's the least serious guy in the race overall. I don't think I'm "stooping" down like some of the conservative wonks on TV and at the National Review think it would be to support Trump. I don't look down on the people whose interests he will serve, I love them and understand that my life would be poo poo without all the hard work they do. Or sadly USED to do in all to many cases.

And of course I would be remiss if I left out the fact that, YES, on some primal level, I really do find great satisfaction in seeing Trump poo poo all over the corrupt political class slime like Bush and Clinton, seeing him piss of the annoying cry-baby politically correct SJWs, seeing him run circles around the morally bankrupt media, and seeing him laugh in their faces and flash his poo poo-eating grin at them when they impotently try to take him down. It's an immature emotional response, but I'm only human. gently caress all of these rear end-holes they deserve every ounce of poo poo Trump force feeds them.

FREEP DRAMA! So Jim Rob the owner/operator of Free Republic has been banning the more militant and annoying members of team Cruz for constant poo poo posting and trolling. These people are now upset with Jim Rob and are trying to start their own Free Republic free of Trump posters... https://consistentconservatives.wordpress.com/2016/01/22/regrouping/#comments The consistent conservatives! Finally a safespace for internet tough guys to post about Ted Cruz!

I don't support trump but I will defend him against stupid attacks or at least find the truth in what he does. I will probably go to the texas caucus and vote for him, but mainly as an event to go drinking, shooting, and caucusing with my brother in law. I would not vote for him in the general and would probably not vote at all if it was between trump and hillary.

Boosted_C5 posted:The Hitler and Nazi crap is getting old. As you can easily on this chart, there are several key differences between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler:  Moreover, you will notice that Trump is ahead of Hitler in all categories (except for the number of Polands invaded). I hope this will put an end to these silly comparisons.

It was supposed to be a softball "what? no I wouldn't support that" but he said he wouldn't rule it out. Instead he was full-bore behind a tracking database (which I'd argue is pretty much the same thing considering how likely something like that is to "leak" or "get hacked" but that's speculation) and cautiously in favor of people walking around with MUSLIM patches He also refused to rule out having reporters executed
