You said she was never mentioned, that is false. I said it was discussed and consensus was that due to racism and sexism she may struggle to get support (let me be explicit here - we did NOT question competence)

You wonder why we think you’re a Trump supporter? Your response to my post was a perfect example of emulating your dear leader. Twist the facts and try and redefine the question. 

The racism and sexism you speak of was evident in the Democrat primary, where you could count the number of delegates she got on one hand (if that hand had no fingers). This is not my claim, it is what Harris attributed her poor performance to. BTW this racist country voted for a black president twice, so there goes that argument.

Ok so you supported Obama, and the birther movement and other racist bigotry peddled about him at the time was all just imaginary…

Lower taxes, a less burdensome regulatory environment, energy independence and a secure border are MAGA values?

They are just buzz words.

How will you deal with the deficit after lowering taxes?

When was the last time the border was "secure"? What does that even mean?

Buzz words without any contemplation is indeed very MAGA.

Right - so the Democrat party is so racist (after voting for Obama twice which proves they're definitely not racist) that it wouldn't choose Kamala but also so beholden to DEI that they couldn't not choose Kamala.

Did any of that sound good in your head before you said it out loud?

For the life of me I can’t figure out why you guys think I am a Trump supporter. And no I didn’t do that intentionally.

I deliberately didn't say 'you'. I guess the lack of response to the question means you're resigned to at least another 4 years of the Republican party operating as a division of the Trump Organisation.

Have you heard his thing about polar bears and climate change? It's like he practices his buzz words in front of a mirror every evening before bed.

 

Almost like he needs to keep trying to convince himself that it's the truth...

This a quote from the non-racist republican candidate for VP:

“Has anybody seen the movie Gangs of New York? That’s what I’m talking about. You know that when you have these massive ethnic enclaves in our country, it can lead to higher crime rates.”

Let's agree they aren't. But racism, misogyny, anti-abortion laws, white supremacy, guns for everyone crazy or not and ammunition vending machines in stores just to name a few certainly are. The belief here is that you are accepting of those things as long as you get what you want on your own personal Christmas list. For that you get a brand.

Other than your fevered imagination, where are these examples of racism, misogyny, white supremacy and ammunition vending machines? Certainly not in the R’s platform. (Sorry Joe)

Of course they are. The start, middle and end of the R's platform is Trump.

Those were all white gangs. No racism there. To quote a clever comedian, “why would I be prejudiced against a group of people just because of the way they act?”

Yeah, I get it, someone mentions Trump and the red mist ensues, blinded by rage you are unable to cite a single example of racism, misogyny, white supremacy or ammunition vending machines in the R’s platform.

I'm sorry, I could have sworn you asked if those were MAGA values. I was simply pointing out that your support is also behind some ugly things to get your presents.like it or not. So as long as we have now shape shifted to the R's platform instead, why yes those are R values.

Your “troll, troll, troll” schtick is getting a bit old. If you would like to contribute something of substance I would be willing to listen, otherwise, IMHO, you are just a tired little man shouting “get off my lawn”

I agree it’s a waste of time, I realised that after a bit.

I’m not sure it’s trolling though- more some sort of cognitive dissonance with a severely maladaptive response and is a common trait within the maga cult. There’s certainly a lack of integrity and accountability.

It’s actually fairly interesting to observe as Trump also does it. There is quite literally no self awareness of the bizarre positions they take. The examples are too numerous to list fully, but here are a few. Attacking Walz for a DUI and his military service, but defending Trump, attacking Harris’s husband for having an affair with his previous wife and the list goes on.

Can you cite an example of how I defended Trump, attacked  Walz for anything, or said anything about Harris’s husband?  No you can’t and that makes me sad. You are living in an alternative universe, far far from reality. Put down your crack pipe and take a deep breath and try to rejoin the real world.

Ok I’m an idiot for replying to this. 

The examples I gave were a generalisation of the group you identify with and are part of. To put the concept of generalisation in simpler terms for you. 

When people talk about a group, like ‘children,’ they might say things that sound like they’re talking about everyone in that group, even if it’s not true for every child. For example, if someone says, ‘Children draw on walls,’ they don’t mean that you did it, just that children do.

So you got nothing, I understand. I suspected as much.

I didn’t realise that thanks. Well I’ve got zero interest in wasting my time, I enjoy seeing other points of view when they are authentic, but trolling benefits nobody but the troll.

Seriously, so what? Sure he's fishing for reactions but just being sophisticated and subtle doesn't make it not trolling. We're all looking for a reaction of some type, that's reality. Also, just because a thing has an expanding internet definition doesn't mean it's just plain awful. Sure Brent is often jerking chains but as often he's proclaiming what he truly believes. Maybe others want to block him over the trivial difference but I'll take a little chain jerking to engage on the stuff he's really wrong about. How else will I change the world?
