Okay, This Is My FINAL Attempt to Try and Restore Peace On This Message Board In Regards to Trump Views

[buttercup]

In all seriousness though, how is it that conservatives are all about free speech until the tables are turned on them and they accused democrats of doing exactly the same thing to us? (Which they did btw but now they're the ones who can't handle what they dish out. Funny old world isn't it?)

Also, you're one hundred percent correct btw. I support the policies that Trump ran on. Those last two words are the key words here savvy? Okay, I'm getting my Captain Jack Sparrow on again I know. Although at least we still do have closed borders though... closed borders because as far as I'm aware biological men are still allowed in women's restrooms and on their sports' teams and gender affirming surgery is still being performed on kids which Trump promised to outlaw. Oh yeah and peace between Israel and Palestine. At least for now.

Well... it seems to me that anyone who tries to silence others, in an aggressive, nasty way, instead of having an actual discussion or civil debate like a normal person....perhaps on some level knows they don't have a strong enough position to begin with. As the saying goes “Truth doesn’t mind being questioned. A lie does not like being challenged.”

But it could be something else too. I'm not going to try to psychoanalyze it, but I agree with what Harley said earlier. It's weird, cultish and obsessive. As it is when the other side does it. Tribalism is a real problem, iyam. I did a thread on that topic a couple years ago....which I often feel like bumping, when reading threads here. But I'm starting to think there might be a spiritual aspect to it too. Heck, that's a topic in and of itself. But extremely controversial, of course.

Being conned by people you admired and trusted hurts whether it's coming off the Internet or from the White House.

I could nail ironclad facts onto a Neocon's skull and he'd still bow down to his orange gawd.

Ouch. Whatever, dude. I used to teach logic, if you can't sell me on your story for lack of proof, that isn't MY problem, Bud.

 

[StrongAF_2026]

Late to the party, but I guess this is an anti Trump thread ? Not sure why. I mean, you can criticize some things he has done and still support him overall....no ?

You would think. Hello there, welcome to Hell on the Internet lol

Oh no...that would be Reddit. Where they ban you for using the word Gen_Der. And Christ is King

Most humans aren't willing to step out of their comfort zone long enough to challenge their own, "rock solid" beliefs. No amount of logic will change that fact .

You're a Christian too? You also seem pretty friendly so that's a plus.

 

[gipper]

Oh yes. We understand the situation well.

The Muzzies want to exterminate the jews. And you Keep Losing at it

It’s always projection with you Zionist MFers. You commit the most heinous acts, but accuse Muslims and Arabs of exactly what you do.

Against the "Good Manners and Gentle Negotiating " approaches to matters where opinions are violently split is the alternative view , which is --- to accentuate and increase differences because:-
Greatest progress is always achieved under the most stressful situations .
And its opposite -- progress is minimum in periods of agreement and general contentment .

With interesting consequences if you now re-consider the assumed wisdom of the Essene Monk , who babbled on about "Turning the other cheek" and the Winners being the Meek and Mild etc etc .
Perhaps the Essene Monk's fading popularity is in great part the wider recognition that his route may initially appear to be warm , comforting and caring ( Good?) but it does not produce the best and fastest results .

We've gone through this w/every conflict......the longer it lasts, the more faith we loose ~S~

No need to bring in Religion to this , Sparkles .

We need a straight forward fight to the death between The Islam Mahdi and the Christian Essene Monk .

4/7 Mahdi by a knock-out , and 9./4 the Meek and Mild guy-- parades himself as the Anti Christ .

 

[rightwinger]

Does Trump think that he's the Messiah? I don't know, but he sure acts like it

Trump wants his followers to think of him as a messiah

 

[luiza]

Trump wants his followers to think of him as a mess iah

As opposed to you and your ilk
Who are just Mess ers

 

[mudwhistle]

If I really have to answer that for you then you've got issues too, unfortunately.

Yep--and provide links.

 

[mudwhistle]

And it's exactly because of this backup I came back. Thanks.



Maybe it's because I don't want to lower myself to their level?



It's really sad that I have come to accept that for an awful lot of people on here.



Okay, but shouldn't there be physical evidence to rule Trump out?



Okay so why did he do that then if he didn't agree with it?


Which is just as bad as thinking that Trump can do no wrong. He has done both good and bad things.




Yeah, it's pretty messed up.




Just about some things but mostly he's pretty competent. At least in my opinion.




.... Umm okay I'll take it as that means an awful lot coming from you.

Trump retweeted it because he thought it was funny.

He seems to have a sense of humor.

Problem with this is it doesn't take much imagination to trash somebody if the truth doesn't hold one back.

It's clear Trump is dealing with a bunch of unprincipled and deeply evil individuals 24/7.

I'm sure he knows pretty much how they'll react, and frankly I don't think he cares anymore.

They've tried everything to destroy him and it hasn't worked.

What is funny about being a doctor?

 

[DigitalDrifter]

And every time you will have no way to defend it.

Every time you will have to shrug your shoulders, pretend that it didn't happen, pretend that Trump and MAGA voters are decent, sensible people, and pretend that you are a moral person.

I'm not even trying to defend it, or denying that it happened. I'm also not the one who is obsessed about it.

By the way, remember when your side of the aisle did this?

Reading through this thread a bit. Man, social media and papers like the NYT and NPR print and Podcast have ruined peoples sense of reality. It is such a grift.

That was no doctor. If Trump really believes that then he needs a doctor.
