ITT 50 pages of Trump goons deconstructing the team sports mentality that is ruining the country and keeping people divide in to their pet issues they've been fooled in to believing are important when they affect .05% of the population. And Hillary supporters saying lol Drumpf and posting offsite quotes that reinforce their 2008 memory of a tea party caricature.
i mean, actual, interesting discussion occurred re: american prison system, but then it mysteriously got thrown off the rails with a weird group masturbation session over a failed, now irrelevant politician.

One of the most highly connected and powerful career politicians in America lost the presidential race to a guy who's been on WWF multiple times leading his army of : Anime Frog Trolls, pissed off suburban dads in camo shorts, and Alex Jones

In fairness isn't " Suburban dad in camo shorts" the most politically and economically powerful demographic in the United States besides the ultra wealthy?

Meanwhile in fake news land

quote:

President Donald Trump’s former campaign staffers claim they cracked the code for tamping down his most inflammatory tweets, and they say the current West Wing staff would do well to take note.

The key to keeping Trump’s Twitter habit under control, according to six former campaign officials, is to ensure that his personal media consumption includes a steady stream of praise. And when no such praise was to be found, staff would turn to friendly outlets to drum some up — and make sure it made its way to Trump’s desk.

[...]

For example, when Trump engaged in a Twitter war with Khizr Khan, the father of a slain Muslim U.S. soldier in Iraq, the team set up a meeting with Gold Star Mothers of Florida and made sure to plant the story in conservative media. Breitbart also wrote stories about Khan's relationships with the Democratic Party. "We made sure that conservative media was aware of it, they connected the echo chamber," the former official said.

During another damage-control mission, when former Miss Universe Alicia Machado took to the airwaves to call out Trump for calling her "Miss Piggy" and "Miss Housekeeping," the communications team scrambled to place a story in conservative-friendly outlets like Fox News, the Washington Examiner, the Daily Caller and Breitbart.

A former senior campaign official said Nunberg and his successor, former communications director Jason Miller, were particularly skilled at using alternative media like Breitbart, Washington Examiner, Infowars and the Daily Caller to show Trump positive coverage.

its all they have left. most of their narratives didnt focus on any real, tangible issues to deal with; it was all based on the anti-vote. without the specter of hillary and her sjw supporters, 90% of their platform crumbles.

all of the trump supporters i talked to told me that the wall thing was an elaborate 4-d chess thing, and that he wasn't actually that stupid

im not sure if illegal muslims is a statistically significant thing at all, so im not sure if something imaginary can be considered "tangible"

every politician talks about jobs. its a bullshit talking point thats meaningless

ill grant you the obamacare being a legit platform point, though

ps you forgot "lock her up". that was a p big talking point.
