There you go. That sounds more accurate.
Dictators generally climb into power via conflict. Trump loves the fires. Hell, he stokes them. The more chaos, the better his chances. He knows that.
He LOVES these riots cropping up around the country. That's why he sent his paramilitary out. That's why he wants to police the voting booths. That's why he calls the left "the radical left". That's why he pisses people off. He WANTS conflict to break out so he can then dub himself as "the hero who stopped it".
This is what aspiring dictators have been doing for centuries.
Exactly. In my experience with Trumpers off the internet (and this is five days a week exposure to them) I can say this much: most of the Trumpers I've seen tend to rant among themselves--not online. One of them even went to a BLM rally just to be a counter-protester against them and then bragged about it to his buddies.
So, there do exist Trumpers who just want to instigate chaotic reactions but, in my experience at least, most Trump supporters don't deal much with online discussions about him. That's why most comment boards are about 80-90% anti-Trump with most of the "Trumpers" with low posting histories/few followers/etc.
I once knew a Trumper who was a very angry biker guy. He would go on Facebook and get into massive political arguments. They were always one-sided, though. He'd post his piece and leave. He didn't engage in much pushback or would disable/block people. Sound familiar? Yes, it sounds like what Trumpers are known to be like: closed-minded and not open to actual debate.
So, you'll find them on Facebook but sites like this? Probably not that much. Just look at the way most of the ""Trumpers"" post around here--trigger words they know will get them pages of replies. Cliched things like "build the wall" and "the radical left" and "Antifa is a terrorist organization" etc. Mostly things they'd be banned for saying on other sites. That's why they come here--to get a reaction.
But, because of the pure INSANITY of Trumpers, it is VERY difficult to distinguish real ones from trolls. I know a Trumper who stated "BLM is terrorists" and "Trump is like manna from heaven". So, I've heard some crazy shit from offline Trumpers. Even still, the way the ones HERE speak has a definite and obvious "trigger" in the way they post. They provoke and they know they're provoking people.
It's the same as boards for a bad movie--you'll get a handful of people who call it a masterpiece and say ridiculous things.
--no signs of that happening from anyone. While I don't think BLM is anywhere CLOSE to as bad as White Supremacists/Neo Nazis, I'm not letting them off the hook either--they are pulling too far in one direction and all it does is provide fodder for the other side.
And this is why our country is a torn up fucking mess of division: these stupid "ME! ME! ME!" sides.
The term itself is not racist. But some people use the term for racist reasons.
The problem inherent with our country is that everyone makes their "side" out to be something special:
-BLM
-Feminism
-White Supremacists
-Trump Supporters
All four of the above-mentioned groups keep taking on this victim complex/calling attention to themselves and ALL stem from our broken two-party societal system. Blacks want more representation/recognition in society while Trumpers and White Supremacists feel threatened by the new progressive paradigm that most of the civilized world is adopting. They think they're being left behind/feel they'll one day be insignificant in a sea of "brown people".
BLM members aren't really doing themselves any favors as SOME in their movement are violent and it adds nothing but fuel to the fire and provides cannon fodder to the racists and Trump Supporters who wind up embracing Trump as their "last hope" of relevance.
Then you have the "Woke" crowd and feminism. Same deal: special treatment disguised as a call for "equality". In reality, every one of these sides has a "Me! Me! Me!" complex and none of them seem to want (by my assessments at least) true equality. Trumpers want the old paradigm to remain while other sides want to new paradigm to be ushered in. Problem is, both sides push in one extreme direction or the other and, at the end of the day, I see EITHER side bringing great harm.
Why is so damn hard to meet in the middle? Why CAN'T we have TRUE equality? MAGA...BLM...WOKE...it's all massive turns too far in one direction or the other and no room (or seemingly any actual desire for) middle ground.
And that's why I won't join either party. Both sides need to get their goddamn houses in order. This shit has gone on long enough.
PS: And before anyone pounces on me--I realize that some sides actually bred/led to others while others are reactions to others. So what? Every side has a responsibility to strive for true equality and I see--
Of course it's not an honest post. I'm honestly beginning to wonder how many of these ""Trumpers"" on this site are actually Trumpers. I'm also beginning to wonder how many of them are sock accounts of the same person.
These people don't act like Trumpers--they act like caricatures of them.
What about Discount Melania's big, fat, loud, screaming botox mouth? Did you like that as well? Don't forget COKE-a-cola Donnie Jr. Can't leave him off the list.
Not one of those people praying (including you) actually believes in or faithfully follows the god they were praying to.
Protesters and rioters are two different things. Don't be like the Trumpers and refer to the rioters as "protesters". It's not the same thing and you know that.
YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S NOT THE 60S...IT'S THE 30S, DEPRESSION AND ALL.
Thing is, I don't feel sorry for anyone in this situation. If the guy shot peaceful protesters, that's one thing--but rioters? That's another story.
On that same token, I hope they nail this shooter to the fucking wall. He came there on his volition, armed and armored to the teeth. He knew what he was going there for. I'm sure he was just itching to use that gun.
We'll see more of this in the coming months.
I don't feel sorry for EITHER side getting knowingly involved in this riot. Protests are one thing--rioting is another.
If you go to a large riot that has constant news coverage while armed to the teeth expect to either wind up in a body back or in a jail cell.
No one told this guy to go to a well-documented ongoing chaotic situation armed like some thug ready for a war. That was his choice--just like it was the choice of the rioters to, well, riot. Rioters give the peaceful protesters a bad name and this is the sort of stuff that winds up as a result. On that same token, some people are deliberately instigating some of the riot activity to bolster their own political gains such as some of the far right knuckle draggers who were pretending to be part of the protest.
There's guilt on both sides here.
And, you know what? If everyone wants to start killing each other over there then let them. I feel sorry only for the innocents who were caught in the crossfire and weren't engaging in the riot.
Not really. I pity you too much to be happy with what you're saying to me.
LOL!
Someone Probably calls him Fredo offline.
Yep. Probably not even a Trumper. He's more like a caricature if one.
Dog Dump? Is that the best you can do? Might as well call me Poopy Head, LOL!
I see that now that you've been outed, you couldn't wait to break that dumb emoji back out. :)
Now call me Fredo. You know you want to. :)
LOL! Hilarious and nasty at the same time. XD
You can post laughing emojis a hundred times over and it won't change the fact that you tripped and fell flat on your face in this argument with your false and easily debunked accusation. Have the good grace to tuck your tail between your legs and leave the room. You lost this one, chief.
Pathetic. What's he even trying to accomplish? So far, he's accomplished making an add of himself in a consistent basis.
I'll never understand why every forum has a collection of people who apparently enjoy having their asses handed to them.
