What I would like from you, Hermit, is for you to go present yourself as a rational Republican Trump supporter, and note the response to yourself.
Show me how it's done. Present yourself as a rational feminist, and note the response to yourself.
You misunderstand.

What I want, is for you to defend the positions a bit, and see how people treat you.

I'm sure you can find some of the current policies rationally defensible, so go experience some of the treatment and get a feel for it.

You might find yourself ignoring most of Seabass, too.

There is a recent post by Tim Pool which clarifies an interesting point I wish I could have made.


Why aren't rational people on the left calling out more of the far-left bullshit? Is it because they can't afford to lose a single ally against Trump, no matter how much that alliance costs?

Rational feminist. LOL.

Yes, there are fine examples of media bias on the right, like the Jussie Smollette character assasination.

I hear he is going to be sentenced to a TV career, and a Democratic lifetime support arrangement.

You mean other than the people indicted, the unreported overtures from Russians, and Trump's lame excuses for not releasing his taxes? I know you excuse these things , along with the bizarre firing of people by tweet, calling the media the enemy of the people, and his screwball foreign policy, but most people find this stuff bizarre - irrespective of whether they think they're good policy.

As I said, you made Jim's point.
Indicted for what is the important question. Manafort, for example, being indicted had nothing to do with the campaign.

Unreported "overtures from Russians?" Name one that's improper?

There's no requirement that he release his taxes. Obama didn't release his educational records. Both were commonly released by predecessors.

I excuse the tax return thing just as you probably don't care that Obama didn't release his educational records. And, honestly, I've never cared if candidates release their tax returns. There is very little of interest in tax returns, and that's why it was so common for people to release them. Trump's returns are regularly audited. If the IRS found an issue, they'd prosecute.

He didn't call "the media" the enemy of the people. He called "the fake news media" the enemy of the people, because they lie and twist and propagandize, and I don't disagree with him on that.

Screwball foreign policy? See how you phrase these things? WHAT specific policies are you referring to?

Most of the people find "screwball foreign policy" bizarre - sure -- but, when I criticize Obama's foreign policy, I would say /"The Iran deal was crap and here's why..." You just declare the entirety of foreign policy screwball.

It's impossible to respond to generalities - -"overtures from Russians?" - which ones? The meeting with the lawyer and Trump Jr? There was nothing "wrong" with that meeting, and nobody was required to "disclose" that meeting to anyone. If a Russian says to Bernie Sanders "I have dirt on donald Trump (say a video of him banging a stripper in Moscow)" and Sanders says, "sure! Let me see what that information is!" and meets with the guy - there is nothing illegal or immoral about that. So, what "overtures" are you referring to, specifically?
Nope, my friend, I don't need to be specific to demonstrate the correctness of Jim's proposition. To refresh your memory, he stated.
Basically, Trump supporters can never, ever concede that there was anything dodgy in his campaign, his moral character or his bizarre behaviour. Very, very ostrich like...
And here you go again proving it. I left the topics broad to give you the opportunity to demonstrate you aren't under a compulsion to defend Trump, and could concede that some things were dodgy or bizarre. That's the simple refutation to Jim's claim, but you don't seem able to pull it off.

Let's try again. Would you concede that Trump firing cabinet members by tweet is bizarre?

I would not say that firing people by tweet is bizarre per se, but it sure is discourteous in the extreme and shows an inability to take responsibility for his action and to tell the others face to face on the part of the axeman.

I have.

Maybe you don't understand what I'm asking.

Wear a Trump 2020 hat, and see how the critics treat you. I don't think you realize just how far left the media is leaning, since you are left.

Another way to put this, is that you might not hear all the sneering tone, since your own tone regarding Trump has a bit of a sneer to it.

Or keep focused on me, that's fine too.

Well, there isn't much 'rational' to that particular political movement.

It's probably why it has such low support among more rational people. :tea:

Well, I'll be interested to see if Forty Two reflexively defends the practice, or can muster the objectivity to admit it's dodgy, if not outright bizarre.
