Trump supporters; how far?
Trump supporters; how far?
Even though I'm no longer privvy to the toxic words of Trump supporters on here, I'm reliably informed that, even as his administration bundles little children into concentrate camps, Trump supporters are still Trump supporting.
Think about this. We're talking about innocent, little children ripped from their parents, possibly to never see them again, in some cases forced to stand up in court on their own, crying, defenceless. And yet still Trump supporters support.
So the question I want to know is; When is enough enough? Where is the line drawn that even Trump supporters won't cross? If not concentration camps - then where? How far are Trump cultists willing to go to support their infallible leader (seriously, I've never seen someone defend their leader so religiously, this is cult of personality)? Do we have to go all the way to gas chambers before they put on the brakes? Or will even that stop them? Even as they allow ICE destroy records of their abuse without so much as a word we have to ask; what evil will they not excuse?

Re: Trump supporters; how far?
Maybe this far...long and horribly scary..
I would add though mate that if you have Trumpies on ignore and an audience here of sympathisers to the liberal cause reading your post what the point of your (understandable) rant is, other than perhaps venting some anger.
How about writing to the USA embassy or to someone in America that might add your letter to the thousands they no doubt have had about this appalling man and his policies. This is just an echo chamber. Something I have realised this last day or two frankly.
Or even support my desire to do something about racism here and now on this forum!?

Do you still have the current events subforum blocked? If you unblock it, you'll see that even the child separation policy isn't too far.Animavore wrote: ↑Sun Jul 08, 2018 8:22 pmEven though I'm no longer privvy to the toxic words of Trump supporters on here, I'm reliably informed that, even as his administration bundles little children into concentrate camps, Trump supporters are still Trump supporting.

Coito Two's responses to these sorts of questions can be summarized thus:
1. Obama did it too, so nothing to see here.
2. Some other countries also have harsh immigration policies, so nothing to see here.

Re: Trump supporters; how far?
Hence my question in the OP. Where is the line for these people? Where is it? Child rape. Child abuse.Torture. None of this perturbes them?

Re: Trump supporters; how far?
Concentration camps and separating families isn't even as far as these people have gone in recent history.
Remember waterboarding? Abu Ghraib? There were plenty of little goose-steppers vociferously supporting the Bush administration's "enhanced interrogation" program when it came to light. After torture, this is relatively tame to them. It's not a new phenomenon.
If history is any guide, under the right circumstances, they will support ethnic cleansing, chattel slavery, and even genocide.

I notice 42 has been really quiet lately, so I don't know if that means even he's struggling to defend Trump now, or perhaps he's just on holidays with the family..

We have our very own racists in the form of Misterfuckingmack and Tyranical - shits we can actually do something about. The will to actually do that something here is let’s say flaccid.

Re: Trump supporters; how far?
With Trump in power, it's no longer political, it has turned into a cult, just like with Jones and his followers. Trumpianity has religious overtones, MAGA means he will restore America to the right hand of God, never mind that he has no fucking plan, just rhetoric. All his speeches are void of meaning, all he does is to generate meaningless, convoluted sentences which meander into incoherence and insipidity. His followers interpret these "prophesies" to mean what they would like to hear, and the lack of progress and betterment is shifted over to be the fault of illegals, democrats and, of course, Satan, who influences and leads the opposition. The speaking engagements are Trump's "Travelling Salvation Show", his followers orgasm ecstatically at his verbiage and take home the prophesies which call for a pure, white Trumpian elite society, where other coloured people are relegated to subservient positions, to bow and scrape at the whim of their superiors. Obviously there must be a cull, NRA will arm all the faithful, and evangelicals will pray for a quick, decisive victory. Afterwards the country will be ruled by a few billionaire apostles under supreme leader and messiah Donald The Magnificent, His Holy Family and concubines and there will be rewards plenty for the acolytes. Songs will be sung, poems will be written, and Jesus himself will have a condo in Manhattan, courtesy of DTM. But first, there must be a Kool-Aid party....

How far? No limit, apparently.
