In the past you have said you voted for Reagan and Trump isn't a republican. It's not that much of a stretch to assume you were pissed at Trump because you think he's taken the Republican Party away from what you believe in. I assumed you were a never Trump republican based on your posts. Again, not that much of a stretch
I, like most posters here, assumed wags was a Republican who was upset with what Trump did to his party. Perhaps he switched his allegiance at some point after Trump was initially elected and is behaving like a jerk instead of giving any details.
Are you accusing DW of behaving like a jerk?
Oh, i think you're breaking the rules and might be banned!
Otherwise, you are spot on. There are many of us who voted republican previously and recognize that Trump could care less what you call him - so long as he rules.
In doing so, he has most assuredly moved what the "Republican Party" stands for by yards and acres.
Your use of the word "allegiance" in reference to a political party is of note.
Shouldn't men be beholden to ideals and aspirations rather than Parties?
Was it Hamilton who decried the formation of political parties in the Federalist Papers?
Maybe some of you should examine yourselves, and what YOU stand for.

You're nothing more than an antagonizer.
I do hope you realize your pattern of "contribution" to this place.

Antagonizing by calling someone out for their hateful rhetoric? Tommyboy, please don't talk about antagonizers when you post death memes

Trump told us that Venezuela was about drugs.
It wasn't.

It wasn't.
He LIED.
IT WAS ABOUT REGIME CHANGE.
Does he really think Americans are this dumb and gullible?
Does he really think we are DUMBERICANS?
Maybe he just wants oil.

I am open to learning. In what ways does Trump's genius manifest itself?
He has a genius for saying things that resonates with the base he wants to target. It's almost incomprehensible that a New York City billionaire can gain favor with rural, blue collar folks. They actually think he is on their side! Trump the populist! The best mad men on Madison Avenue wouldn't even take on that one, but he kills it.
He has a genius for rallying support in his party and suppressing dissent. He identifies people's weaknesses, isolates those people and destroys them. Time and time again, people make the mistake of thinking, "I will be honest and tell the public what Trump really is: He's a fascist! He's a grifter! He's a bully! He's a convicted felon!" Okay, all of that stuff may be true -- and it's bad stuff -- but it doesn't phase him. The only people phased are those Republicans (and opponents) he leaves in his wake.
Make a list of the nutty, rude, mean things he has said over the past 10+ years, things that would sink any other politician. The John McCain thing. The "ingesting disinfectant" thing. New outrageous statements weekly! Well, he's still standing... with close to half the country supporting him. The dude is effing for Russia, for crying out loud!
After the debate with Harris last fall, pundits such as James Carville, Bill Maher and myself thought he was done... but no! If this is not genius, then I don't know what to call it, although it's not the sort of intelligence that is measured on IQ tests.
I really liked this post!!!

Personally, I am still registered as a Republican although I have never voted for Trump. I certainly do support many of Trump's agendas and do defend him against emotional, exaggerated attacks. I also disagree with many of his agendas. For example, Biden weakened vaccines with his hyperagressive and corrupt FDA and CDC and Trump then installed a vaccine skeptic. I don't agree with most of RFK's policies and that is Trump's fault. I know what I stand for.
It's difficult to know what some posters here stand for, when all they do is spend their time responding 65% of the time to a single poster. It's almost like they are that kid in high school that likes arguing for the sake of arguing. And rarely do they ever bother to start up a thread.
Thus, it's difficult to understand what they stand for.

Trump is dumb in a lot of ways, but he is also a genius in some ways. Intelligence is multi-faceted. People see the dumb things he says/does, then the underestimate him for other things. I know: I have done this myself. How could that b****** get elected President even once, no less twice?!?
Don't be too satisfied with his comment.
Intelligence or skill in deception and morality are two totally different things. Ethics is another leg of the stool.
concordtom, you're a walking buzz kill... here i was feeling pretty good about myself all day... don't you have an obituaries thread to police or something?
It's okay.
I know you know how to manufacture endorphins with your regularly scheduled exercises.
You'll be alright.
I think I was simply grouchy because you called Trump a genius.
You should have felt good about yourself. It was a good post, which I expanded upon earlier this morning in my reply to Wife.
I guess Trump is genius on the scale of "Ophiocordyceps unilateralis"
AI consideration:
Quote:
Give me an example of a unintelligent life form which hijacks an intelligent life form's own body
One classic example is a parasitic fungus that turns its host into a kind of "biological puppet."
Ophiocordyceps unilateralis
What it infects
Primarily carpenter ants (which are relatively intelligent insects with complex social behavior).
What it does
1. The fungus infects the ant through spores.
2. It grows inside the ant's body.
3. It alters the ant's behavior causing it to:
Leave its colony
Climb vegetation
Clamp down on a leaf vein in a "death grip"
4. The ant dies in that position.
5. A fungal stalk grows out of the ant's head and releases spores onto ants below.
Why it's striking
The fungus has no brain, no nervous system, and no conscious intent yet it effectively overrides the ant's behavior and uses its body to optimize fungal reproduction. It doesn't "think"; it operates through evolved biochemical mechanisms that manipulate the host's nervous system.

The trolls here are definitely a problem.
As Cal88 has noted recently, there are people here that aren't interested in engaging in a good-faith discussion.

we all thought you were a republican still and you're lecturing other people on not knowing what they stand for?

It's puzzling why anyone would maintain that the GOP of today has any connection to the GOP that put Ronald Reagan into the White House in 1980 and 1984.
Thanks for pointing that out yet again.

Easier said than done when a single poster posts nearly 200x in a weekend.
This is why I have suggested a daily posting limit.

You are behaving unobjectively.
This post needs to be heavily moderated. I have never in my life stated that MAGA people are unfit to vote or don't cross many stratas of society.
I have said they are amongst the most horrible people yes, but that is based on their beliefs. Many MAGAs have been somewhat smart, including Kirk until he got too comfortable.

Moderation seems to be slow right now. Curious.

If that is your classroom it looks a lot like the hallways I used to walk through in my time at Meta and Google.
A lot of emphasis on failure and not success in those posters though. Wouldn't see that in the locker rooms for the teams I coach.

Just two weeks ago he also called me "the pigheaded dude" but apparently that didn't break any rules.

I'll need a clarification of the rules. Maybe I can tell people they are behaving like a fascist but I just can't call them a fascist.

Bingo.
Had I had made that post I would have been suspended immediately.
Period.
Never mind that it got "edited" after the fact with behavior being the clarification.

Failure is the pathway to success. Most successes have been preceded by failure after failure.
