Now, look at Trump's policies.  Tell me how they are different, but the D's have been so fucking brainwashed in to hating this man it's insane. They only hate him because they're told to hate him, and the bubble they live in has been bashing this man EVERY SINGLE DAY since he announced his campaign in 2016.

Prove me wrong.
In before the 😂 and 🤪 crowd.

Trump on the Oprah show decades ago talking about protectionism and they were begging him to run for president...

-ism's didn't exist back then.

Lefties made that term up because they can't debate facts so they make up another ism and parrot it.

It might also have to do with the fact that since day 1, he's been calling them "radical left lunatics" and worse.  Agree with him on that point or not, it's not surprising that political opponents would hate someone calling them lunatics?  Or maybe, "deplorables"? 

We're all being brainwashed.  :lol:  That's why the division is working so well.

I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

He's not wrong.
Show me Trump supporters screaming in the faces of the opposition because of who they support. I bet you can't, but there are countless videos of the lunatic leftists doing that and getting violent as well.

which of those 3 words, do you think, offends them the most?

If we're going to go down that road, let me dig up more of the rhetoric so we have more words to chose from. :lol:

I think that it's more common for the left to organize and protest so it gets more attention. However, I posted a report quite a while back that compared political violence between the left and the right. Most of it was individual rather than group.  I doubt anyone bothered to read it and probably wouldn't believe it if they did.

I've seen some pretty despicable behavior from both sides. I'm starting to lose my faith in humanity. :lol:

Well, to put it simply, you are on the right track. Anyone who is not God will let you down at some point. ;)

Humanism, is a missed target, Deism is on the paper, and Christianity is a bullseye.

It also doesn't help when the media reports a 'mostly peaceful protest' (BLM) that shows a car on fire in the background as the reporter is speaking, but those same media outlets treated the far less violent J6 protests as the end of democracy as we know it.  :yes:

You must admit that the vast majority of the MSM is left-leaning, and therefore they get to mostly control the narrative.  :yes:

Most of the MSM is told WHAT to say and WHEN to say it.
Even local news channels parrot the same rhetoric.
Ever see that compilation video of all the lefty news outlets (local and national) all saying the EXACT SAME words and phrases?

Just like Kamala's scripted campaign speeches that are the same word-for-word rhetoric over and over.

Trump is capable of speaking at length and off-script on any issue, but Harris is not.
That's why Trump rallies attract large crowds.

Try to imagine the media reaction if Trump gave the same canned word-for-word campaign speech more than once.

They would accuse him of being a stupid puppet who just stands there reading a teleprompter without ever noticing their candidate doing the same thing.

SkyNews just put together one of all of the "reporters" using the exact same words over and over again to describe Walz after she picked him as a running mate. It made my stomach churn watching it. A journalist being told what to say by government officials? and going along with that? Sickening and I am embarrassed for the whole profession.

when 40 different reporters use the word "affable" you know they've been fed the word by the overlords

They're not journalists these days, they're just people with opinions. And most of the time they're told what opinions to have and share.

I don't necessarily disagree, but by whom? We've all heard the claim that there is some all-powerful puppet master, but nobody can pinpoint exactly who/what is pulling the strings.

And as far as talking points go, remember that other message board I mentioned? The one where I'm a "lefty?" I could go there and cut and paste some of those posts, and they would be the exact talking points we see here. Word for word.

Nobody is original, sadly.
