US Politics The 2020 Trump Presidency Thread

Not open for further replies.
It's a legitimate subject



Postergirl of American '''progressives''', I don't get it, why accept and even invite corporate censorship? Why trust these people, how can everyone be so blinded by hate and rage. It started with censoring enemies of America, pressured by intelligence agencies, and now calling to aggressively censor Americans under the guise of social justice? Yay!

But you aren't a typical trump supporter dalpat. You are one of the few cool ones. You also don't come back with nonsense posts.

I use the terms trump supporter vs trump fanatic.

Most of the time what I say that's hostile is towards trump fanatics, it's an effort to keep a distinction that not every trump supporter is a raving conspiracy theorist.

Dalpat might be a trump supporter but I don't consider him a trump fanatic. Same goes for our very awesome leader lovebandit.

I'm some ways though the non fanatical Trump supporters are a lot more fascinating to me. It's completely mystifying to me that anyone remotely rational can continue to support of defend trump.

I don't think conspiracy to commit murder and insurrection is protected under the first amendment. Besides, Apple is free to kick someone off their App Store for whatever reason they choose. Remember the baker who didn't want to bake the cake?

It's honestly like the 100th worst thing Trump has done, when he was stirring up world politics pots with insanely dumb and dangerous tweets, large corporations didn't seem to give a fuck, maybe because it was in their best interest? It's of course their right, and I agree that Trump very much earned it, there's just no consistency, many things got banned and blocked before for no clear reasons other than to appease the American government. It's not good at all to delight in this.
 
Putting aside the topic of censorship... I hope the threats of violent insurrection are taken seriously this time. Of course Trump could order the military to stand down since he's the head of the military. And he controls the Washington DC police force too. So... yeah. Not good.

Free speech goes a little too far when we have allowed a concerted effort to undermine our government take hold. Turning the other way has allowed an alternate reality of conspiracies to spread to millions upon millions of people, and now is allowing people to incite hordes into violence against the country's capital in order to prevent the lawful transfer of power to the new president that the majority of people voted for. If we discovered someone doing this by means other than social media, wouldn't we have arrested them for conspiring to overthrow the government and murder police officers? It's madness.

Censorship for social justice is censoring someone for expressing bigotry. This is something else.

It blows my mind that it's come to this.
 
Technically the constitution allows for a overthrow of the government is that not the point of the right to bear arms. It was okay for Americans to rise up va the British government. Who gets to choose what is.justifed in a rise up vs the government or not. Is not silencing people and the political spectrum the first step of communism left wingers have shown through history starting with nazi Germany and commies that they will silence whoever they want. Left wing is the true political spectrum which is oppressive.

Exactly, after all the wacko stuff he has done the fact people still stand up for him baffles me.

Those protesters weren’t rising up against the government. They were trying to change the outcome of an election and install their own candidate. They’re fine with the government as long as Trump is running it.

There is no use trying to speak with trump supporters. They just don't get it. TripSitter isn't even american. His exposure to any of this is what is shown on his local news channel. Maybe had he lived through 4 years of trump (especially 2020) he would understand.

There is a point trying to engage anyone, if there is to be any meaningful understanding, or just some more insight into how anyone comes to their own opinion.

There is no point just engaging people who share the same ideas at all, sure its less frustrating at times but so is the unwillingness to agree to disagree.

Trump served his purpose, he wasn't a real republican.

Im not a yank either, thank God, to be honest the never ending nit picking, sledging and open hate sling at ppl who dare oppose the left leaders here grew old ages ago, at least there's still some who don't do that, xolorth is a good example of this.

Anyway, enjoy the end of the Trump era, its been fucking shit !

Because see...

en.wikipedia.org

Kamala Harris - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org

The rate at which Harris's office prosecuted marijuana crimes was higher than the rate under Hallinan, but the number of defendants sentenced to state prison for such offenses was substantially lower.[69] Prosecutions for low-level marijuana offenses were rare under Harris, and her office had a policy of not pursuing jail time for marijuana possession offenses.[69] Harris's successor as D.A., George Gascón, expunged all San Francisco marijuana offenses going back to 1975.[69]

There is a wikipedia page for public viewing. As we see kamala harris sent LESS people to jail. And she even had a policy for NOT sending people to jail for low level weed. Sounds pretty good to me. Hard drugs you going to prison no matter what in the usa. Nothing to do with kamala harris. In fact in IL you will get a mandatory time for an 1/8th of coke (class 1 felony 4-15 years) no matter if you never got a speeding ticket in your life. Called mandatory time and many drugs carry it.

However, this is something called a job. She was a prosecutor and a damn good one. How about you go look at her wiki page and learn a bit about her. She is so good she is the 1st female vice president. She will also do such a good job at that she will then be the 1st women president.
 
What are y’all genuine thoughts on this? It’s from the official NYE county NV GOP website. Fan fiction or does this guy know something. Looking for genuine opinion, and critical view, which is why I’m posting it here.

CommonSense went out fighting for something so dumb. A bullet stopped you pretty good. You can see the video. What is doing? She was acting a viking without realizing the people in front of her had gun. The vikings were crazy but trying to climb a wall with no weapon (wait I think she had hiking gear and a swiss army knife) against 5 armed guys is a death wish. So much common sense ashli. You got your 30 seconds, and lost your life. Like a fucking animal viking lol. The storm!! This guys all went to jail, fired, and half them video taped and told on themselves. Maybe these guys will just extinct themselves through natural selection over the next decade. The trump supporters just crack me up. There is going to be so many good movies and books coming out.

They always do this. In the middle of the pizza gate nonsense that guy who went and tried to free the nonexistent sex slaves and shot up the place, later on the conspiracy theorists disowned him and proclaimed him part of the conspiracy too.

You see it in all conspiracy circles. Flat earthers regularly accuse other flat earthers of being in on a globeist conspiracy because they're knowingly spreading the "wrong" flat earth model.

It's all fucking insane.
