For whom would Republicans vote?

[impuretrash]

If this really is a "stupid" or somehow flawed question...
... what does that say about those who voted yes?

You didn't bother to present a realistic alternative to Putin.
So yeah, it's flawed.

So answer my question.
.

You should have included an abstain option. I mean, why are we even talking about this ridiculous scenario? This entire thread is beneath you.

You didn't answer my question.

And for the zillionth time: A point was made by Ron Reagan and, even though I thought it was silly, partisan and over the top, I tested it.

Turns out several people here proved him right. Plenty of comments are backing that up. That's not my fault. That's just a fact.

Are you not going to answer my direct question?

Back up your words. You said the far left in America is actually a lot further left than most of the left in the world.

I'm sure you can provide many SPECIFICS to back that up, country by country as appropriate.

Looking forward to it. Name a few parties and organizations. Name some people.
.

While I won't get into absurd comparatives; you know as well as I that the democrats of today are a Stalinist party dedicated to the destruction of America and the crushing of civil rights.

Well, at least you ran with "Stalinist" on this one. "Marxist" and "Communist" must be getting worn out.

This question? "... what does that say about those who voted yes?"

It says that I have serious doubts about most of the horror stories about Putin and that I don't really know all that much about him except that his name triggers lefties.

You didn't say anything about those who voted yes. So I assume you're okay with their responses, yet you say the question is flawed.

Now I know what you think of them.

I simply asked if you can describe it.

Are you on drugs? Your stupid poll means nothing. It's not as if people sacrificed their firstborn at the altar of Putin. We just clicked a button...

Be honest now.

There is binary thinking on the Left, but no, not to this degree.

This is what three decades of talk radio creates. This is what happens when an ideological cocoon essentially closes.

[dblack]

Once again, why would anyone challenge someone for participating in your false choice fantasy? You may as well asked about people voting for the tooth fairy or the easter bunny, both are equally qualified as Putin to hold office in the US.


.

I know, you don't want to challenge your tribe. I know.
.

I don't have a tribe **** head. You on the other hand have to struggle to come up with a semi-original thought, you take ignorant shit form other posts, then try to create a weak minded fantasy. You're not being clever.


.

You guys have proven Ron Reagan right, and you're embarrassed. That's okay.

But lashing out at me doesn't change the comments or votes on this thread.
.

You're the one who should be embarrassed, putting out a poll on a total impossibility is bad enough, but thinking it actually proves something, now that's just sweet. LMAO


.

I just asked a question. Your end of the spectrum proved Reagan's point. Then some of you went drama queen on me.

It's fine with you that they sided with Putin, but somehow you have a problem with the question. Okay.
.

What the poll reveals, more than anything else, is the childish tendency of Trump supporters to 'act out' in response to criticism. Instead of just refusing to answer a poll that presents a false dilemma, they leap right into it and play out liberals worsts fears - just to tweak noses.

I'm reminded of the "let 'em die" incident during the debates for the Republican 2012 primaries. Wolf Blitzer was grilling Ron Paul on his opposition to government health care. He was trying to goad Paul into saying something stupid - something the press could spin into "proof" that Republicans are evil. He posed the usual emergency dilemma - what if someone has no money and will die without immediate health care? - and wrapped it up with "Should we just let them die?".

Ron Paul answered sanely - he said "No", and went on to explain that society can, and should, care for people in need without invoking government. But some jackass in the audience couldn't resist and shouted out "Let 'em die!". It's that mentality that rests at the core of Trump's support. That's why no amount of criticism or shaming will get their attention. They revel in it. They're eager to play the jerk.

 

[Uncensored2008]

I shouldn't let the thread get derailed.

Would anyone else like to support Putin over American Democrats?

Putin=Hillary * 1000

Putin is simply the democrats without the restraints placed on them by normals.

At a fundamental level there is no difference at all between Putin and your little "gotcha" list.

The problem as I see it as that many on the Right have been conditioned into these binary thought processes. They cannot give an inch. It's all or nothing. And I'd agree that some of it may be a result of PC and the other tactics used by the Left, but seeing the world as either/or puts them in the Catch-22 that we see on this thread. They're knee-jerking too far.
