Does "libtard" or "TDS sufferer" do the same thing? :D

And one more, the people who consider Donald Trump to be an evil deity, and the cause of all that is wrong in the world, are trying to convince the rest of the world that people who voted for him are a cult, has a certain Shakesperean richness to it.

What's the "gendercult?" Do they use tactics similar to the Trump camp to trap their followers unwittingly and unknowingly? And what, exactly, are they doing to "show us?"

The term "Trumptard' should invoke zero reaction from anyone who doesn't identify with the term. Which, obviously, would be no one who is a contributor to this forum. Much like the term "libtard" also should invoke zero reaction from anyone here.

And do expand on the Shakespeare premise, as I do love me some Shakespeare.

for libtard, yes it does.

TDS, in my experience is a real thing. I don't really know how to explain it, but all I know is that my own father-in-law has advocated for a lot of the things that Trump is for, but he has only changed his mind about them once he found out trump was in favor of them. It is uncanny. He has been telling me for years that free trade is ruining this country. That illegal immigration was hurting wages, he was against big pharma, and he favored high taxes on things like soda and fast food, to curb medical costs.

He has changed his mind on all of those things and not only that, he seems almost giddy over the fact that people are destroying tesla's. Which he, himself almost bought 4 years ago.

The health and big pharma flip flop has only changed since RFK Jr was appointed.

It's the
"If he's for it, I'm against it" syndrome.

I don't disagree, but it goes both ways. I've seen Trump supporters, some a lot more than others (I wont mention any names :D ), almost turn inside out to keep from acknowledging anything negative about Trump.

Yikes. He didn't start celebrating when the stock market fell did he?

My daughter hasn't talked to me in 3 months because I voted for Trump.

By your logic the N word should have no affect on anyone who doesn't identify with the term. What world do you live in?
