If Trump tweeted that the 911 victims were worthless losers that deserved to die the Republican platform would be digging up the bodies to pee on them by the afternoon. There's literally nothing he can do to alienate his base and the leadership will go along with it.

The only thing that has ever really harmed his support with his base was toning down his racism towards illegal immigrants. They'll bow down towards him so long as he make them think he'll hurt the Other. He's the last hope of the white supremacists to ensure that nobody besides them gets a say in the country before demographics render them toothless. straight up brolic posted:https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/774728217215262721 He is the embodiment of everything wrong with corporate America.

Nessus posted:I don't think anyone's questioned there's 25, 30, 35% of the country who will support him if he heils Hitler and eats a nun, the question is the remaining margin of folks. I have seen the Republican base ablate substantially in my lifetime. Even if he squeaks out a win through Satan's direct intervention, Trump has done ten years of this in one and a half. This is true, and the thing that scares people is that a majority is not needed for a fascist takeover. If Trump built the wall, deported the mexicans, rounded up the muslims, and went full police state on the blacks, 30% of the country would support him. Another 30% would go along with it, not because they support it, but because most people just have their heads down and are trying to survive. 30% of the country being for Trump does not mean that 70% are against him. If things get really nasty, a large number of people are going to lay low and hope for the best rather than actively oppose it. This is what is frightening about Trumps efforts to de-ligitamize the election. He is laying the groundwork so that when he loses, he can claim he was robbed and thus the system is broken. When Trump loses this November he will have tens of millions of rabid supporters who will believe he was cheated. If Trump had ANY competence whatsoever he could leverage that into a revolution. I'm not saying he would be succesful but he could cripple this country for years. While organized units marching on cities is almost an impossibilty, I would think that widespread riots and mashall law aren't.

One of the many weird things about Trump's (and Republicans') criticism about Hillary, whom he called "trigger-happy" for apparently wanting to go into Iraq and Libya, and saying that she's also weak. He says that he would be "stronger" than her, but wouldn't have invaded those countries. How does that work?

Trump and his ardent supporters are massive cowards, there will of course be a few lunatics that will lose their loving minds and get their guns for STREET JUSTICE but most of them are just going to shrink into corncobs and post bad words on 4chan while their brave leader completely ignores them to start yet another fraudulent business.

Ok but I kinda laugh at the notion that Trump has tens of millions of supporters. He won the Republican primary with a plurality, not a majority. Also, how many of his rabid old white men base will aneurysm or cardiac event out when our Dread Abuela ascends?

Meanwhile Hillary coughs and the media is abuzz with how it will effect her chances of winning. I honestly cannot think of any other election local or national where the difference in media tone towards candidates has been so black and white.

I disagree, you need to ask him 3 to 5 questions, including yes/no's to get him to answer anything without him just stumping on whatever he wants.

How do you get so married to the idea of equivocating both sides that you can't even admit facts with mountains of evidence just because one side is obsessed with denying the fact? At least with racism or sexism you have some wiggle room to weasel around in. You don't with things like "was President Obama born in the US?"

This is pro-read, wow. Not the worst thing to come out of this election cycle but really captures the essence of Trump and really aligns with what other people have observed and written about him. I say this as a person with a lot of years in the study of psychology; Trump is a fascinating person in his consistency and predictability. Someone earlier posted that abnormal psychology courses were using his speeches as examples of clinical narcissism; I doubted that when I read it because the assumptions you would need to make would violate the ethos of clinical psychology it's hard to maintain that skepticism when there are so many independent accounts of his behaviour that point in the same direction.

They decided they make more money off equivocation than facts and so they do that. The profit motive is powerful and people are selfish. It's just hard to admit because that carries a lot of terrible implications to realize what people will do when they think they'll come out on top and make a quick buck.
