With Trump, his demagoguery is more in the open. His pandering is far more pronounced and less hidden, probably because Trump already has said he can shoot someone without his base caring. You have been duped into believing he is refreshing and progressive.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostI have a theory that the anti-Trump contingent responds the way it does because they mistakenly think we worship Trump the way they worshipped Obama.
Moreover, you seem to think Trump is a refreshing maverick and progressive when he’s actually just being an open Mussolini-like demagogue, with that stupid name calling and retarded smirk. You worship both him and that approach.

Originally posted by whag View PostThere is zero evidence otherwise. Obama had bootlickers and divine references, he but never surrounded himself with televangelists laying hands on him and supporters making signs referencing divine appointment. Trump is guilty of both.

After reflecting on politics, and participating in a lot of political discussions I think I now see partisanship as inherently human. We tend to root for our team, find the mistakes done 'on our side' forgivable, and blow out of proportion problems on the other side. As long as this doesn't interfere with a factful discussion, I think its perfectly fine now, and there's no reason to be at war with it.
I for one have decided to bow out of pointing out partisanship on the other side. I won't stop talking about facts, but beyond that, I expect Republicans to be Republicans now.
