U S Presidential Election

[naomi24]

Any predictions on the result?  

[davebro3]

Clearly untitled doesn't like the outcome in the USA but he has  been "ripped a new one" here in defining his reasons for it!

Methinks he should stop digging.

my partner has a friend who's currently living in a very rural part of the deep south. being British she can't vote and being british, she asked her local friends why there was so much support for Trump, even among those who would not normally bother to vote in a presidential election. This was summed up by a girl who runs a local shop, who said "I don't like him. I don't have to like him. but last time he was president was the best time financially for working people in rural America, and they'd rather like to have that back".

davebro, he has had so many new ones riupped when he eats it must be like a sieve. 😂

[davebro3]

As an aside - in the few clips I've seen of Trump speaking he seems almost as vague/wandering as Biden was. Another dementia-ridden election in 2020?

"He was asked why he voted for Trump and he replied that he did so because he thought that he was the best hope of seeing improvements in the country in future and was the best for him and his family and everybody in the USA"

the person you describe has reached that judgement about a person who incited an insurrection against the American state in order to remain in power. he has also reached that judgement about a party who is quite open about its intention to revoke abortion rights everywhere possible (including nationally), to ban books and entertainments that they disapprove of and to liquidate elements of the population that they dislike.

I do not believe your Honduran chef is ignorant of these things. I think he knows about them and either doesn't care or supports them... such a person is a fascist. if you're comfortable with a government doing all these things so long as it might benefit you then... yes I feel comfortable describing that person as a fascist.

i did not see your reply until now because i think you mistakenly posted it here rather than in toratoratora's thread.

[naomi24]

Untitled, God only knows where you get your information but much of it becomes more preposterous by the day.

[Untitled]

which bit strikes you as preposterous?

[naomi24]

I've heard nothing about him liquidating elements of the population he doesn't like!

Michael Knowles has called for transgender people to be eradicated.

[naomi24]

Michael Knowles is a political commentator who spoke about transgenderism rather than transgender people.  (I had to google him). He is not Donald Trump.  Furthermore I listened to Mr Trump the other day on the subject of abortion.  He said he will leave the decision to each individual state.  (I disagree with him on that, by the way).  You really need to get a grip, untitled.  You're falling for too much spin.

[Untitled]

leaving it to the states means letting state-level republicans ban it. that's the plan. 
 

i know that knowles isn't donald trump. he is a republican and quite a prominent one. there is also no difference between "transgenderism" and trans people. it's like hitler saying he wanted to get rid of "judaeo-bolshevism". 

 

[naomi24]

I know what leaving it to individual states means, untitled, and I disagree with it.  And regardless of what you think Knowles meant, he is not Donald Trump and he doesn't represent Donald Trump.  He's not even a politician.  How easily you are influenced when it suits your agenda.

[Untitled]

your googling obviously did not go so far as to learn where he was speaking naomi. he was addressing CPAC when he made those comments and received an enthusiastic response from his audience. he is a member of the republican party and quite a prominent one who delivered those comments at a political event. so yes. you have republicans openly talking about eradicating sections of the population they don't like.

[naomi24]

untitled, I know where he was speaking - and he's still not Trump nor does he represent Trump.  You are leading your readers astray again - or attempting to.

 

I've looked for Trump saying he's going to burn books and ban entertainment but I can't find anything.  Is that somethng someone else said too?

[davebro3]

So the POTUS (to be) is an awful human being (?) who has been voted into office by 70 million+ other awful human beings (?).

Guess what - he's still going to be the POTUS (unless there's someone around with a better aim!). 🙄

[Untitled]

I was talking about the party there naomi if you care to read what i said. they have banned books and have sought also to ban drag as an artform in several parts of the country. 

[Untitled]

he has also reached that judgement about a party who is quite open about its intention to revoke abortion rights everywhere possible (including nationally), to ban books and entertainments that they disapprove of and to liquidate elements of the population that they dislike.

for the hard of reading 

[naomi24]

 When you say 'they' who are 'they', untitled?  You make the narrow-minded error of lumping everyone who votes 'right' into one constricting box as if they were all clones without a thought of their own in their heads.  That appears to be how your politics - as naively misinformed as they are - work but rest assured, it doesn't apply to all.
