Will you join him calling us human scum

[oxmixmudd]

I am registered Republican. I would probably never vote for Trump (though before the Republicans were stupid enough to nominate him I had said that about Hillary- so I suppose I might if something clearly worse came along)

This is what the sitting president said about people like me yesterday:

"The Never Trumper Republicans, though on respirators with not many left, are in certain ways worse and more dangerous for our Country than the Do Nothing Democrats. Watch out for them, they are human scum!" he tweeted.

So, who here will follow him here? Who will draw the line here, and who will join him in his call to hatred?

*Never Trumpsters attack Trump, calling him all sorts of names, make all sorts of attacks, or trying to undermine his presidency*

*Trump attacks back*

You get what you deserve Jim or are you the only one that can attack and Trump is supposed to take it to the chin, like a good spineless Republican? You called him a psychopath, with zero evidence, why should I feel sorry for you?

Trump can be a real jackass.


There, I said it again.

What's that stench I smell? Oh, sanctimonious hypocrisy.

Your fixation on all things anti-Trump is not healthy, Jim.

What is not healthy is supporting a man in office that would say that ... not saying to what level you specifically support him.

And it is that associated depravity on such a large scale that has my concern.

Let me get this straight... Trump just insulted folks who spend virtually every day insulting him. Now why again should this upset me?


Trump is a rude and crude lout capable of extremely boorish behavior. Apparently a few of us are just figuring that out.

I had no doubts that you would be against him saying that even more, I knew you would never adopt such a sentiment for yourself.

There was no need to prove my point, Jim.

It seems my work here is done.

Because to publicly call people scum of the earth from the highest office in the land is to incite hatred against them.

Why would you ask such a question? The office of POTUS is debased and sullied by such a thing.

Further, to be against Trumps policies and tactics is not nearly the same as calling him personally the scum of the earth.

And further, there is a huge difference between observing the behaviors of one man and being against them and taking one aspect of a whole group of people, specifically their dislike of you, and using that to classify that entire group as 'the scum of the earth'.


By not recognizing these critical differences, is it possible you've allowed yourself to join your own heart to his call to hatred?

Having followed him here up in my state for years it is no surprise.

[oxmixmudd]

Try to be accurate pix. I said there are psychologists that observing him have said he is a narcissist and a psychopath. The professional opinion of several well known psychologists is 'evidence to support it' that and his behavior over the last 3 years.

I'm not happy that your President likes to roll in the mud where his political opponents are. But then American conservatives have spent years maintaining the 'moral high ground' while conceding all the important practical matters, so that path clearly doesn't work. No surprise that someone would decide to fight fire with fire, and people would like that he does that. Your political situation is an absolute mess, and there's no one group or person solely to blame. Trump is a symptom far more than he's a problem or a solution.

Let the far left gain more influence, and push more and more, and the inevitable backlash will be all the worse. That's just the way politics works when people are unable and unwilling to really compromise, talk about the issues instead of the people, and moderate their desires. If you think that Trump and his supporters have a monopoly on being uncompromising, selfish, willing to anything to get their goals, and so on, you're plain foolish.

I have some doubt that had Obama taken to Twitter to call folks who insulted him with racial slurs and racist insinuations about his "real" birthplace and allegiance "human scum", folks on this forum would not have landed on "Oh, he's just barking back."

Day by day, we're learning that a large set of people don't actually want a president that governs a diverse country; they want a brawler-king who does what he wants and crushes their enemies in the process.
