Combed Thunderclap posted:For me the most telling Trump moment is right after he lost the Iowa caucus and was clearly psychologically thrown off his game for a bit. He bounced back of course, but experienced politicians don't crack like that, they declare victory and just pretend to be awesome some more. (See: Rubio and Hillary on less-than-winning nights.) Remember how in Nov. 2012 Romney had a live feed of this HQ that just went off air for reasons, Rove and his math had a Fox News talking head bash him, and other magical things?

I mean gently caress, we've pretty much known it for years but now it's all out in the open thanks to Trump, and the people that have been vocally supportive of him will now always be remembered for being racist fucks thanks to social media.

Josh Lyman posted:He equated protesting Trump supporters with preventing them from voting. You give NDT far too much credit. Read it again. He's saying the people protesting trump are actually protesting his supporters right to vote for him, which is actually true. I mean, you're not going to magically get rid of racism or racists, but what you can do is expose the gently caress out of them until they stop being at least openly racist.

computer parts posted:John Kerry got 88% of the black vote in 2004 and GWB was trying to appeal to minorities too so I'm gonna hazard a guess and say Trump's not going to do much better than that. And yet, GWB has been the President who has implemented the most socialist healthcare policies since FDR. 2004 was decided with free drugs. Lots and lots of free drugs. Karl Rove knew this, and knew Democrats wouldn't take them away, while Republicans would never have to pay for them.

The amount of people who seem to be more than ok with every protester at Trump rallies being arrested and "having their lives ruined" according to the Donald himself is pretty mind blowing.

I think I know what happened. One year ago scientists at the Onion were attempting to create a window to an alternate dimension where everything is maximally absurd in order to get more material for their articles. But something went horribly wrong in the test chamber and our dimension merged with the madness one

In this context, you can pretty much replace "credibility" with "erection" and not lose any meaning. "If we don't institute a no fly zone in Syria, we will lose our erection."
