Good Article re Trump Supporters vs PC culture

[tarheelbybirth]

That was written by a woman that did not vote for Trump and indicates she still doesn't want to. If that doesn't give credibility to her, I'm not sure what would.

LOL...that she would let criticism of Trump push her to support him indicates she has a very weak mind. Trump implicitly supports the KKK and white nationalists...why ANY minority would voice support for him should be the real question. The right turned liberal into a dirty epithet and now they complain about name-calling? Gimme a break. If "San Francisco" is your reason for voting for Trump, you ARE a deplorable.

By PC culture, I don’t mean things like the very positive fact that we can’t call minorities ugly epithets anymore. I mean liberals defining what counts as “appropriate” speech and demanding fealty to these standards, such that every perceived wrong step, every comment they don’t like, is turned into something as egregious as the N word.

Glad she gives "PC culture" some cred here. Bet you ten bucks she was on board - or at the very least, totally silent - when Obama was dragged through the mud for not putting his hand over his heart for the national anthem. How is Trump slamming those who take a knee during the anthem NOT "defining what counts as 'appropriate' speech"?

This lady isn't being "turned" to Trump...she's another member of his base.

Good article. Being annoyed that some liberals are over the top PC loons is a terrible reason to support Trump. I have already predicted that he will win a 2nd term because there is simply no doubt that Americans are absolutely too dumb to learn from the mistakes that lead us here.

It would be great if something stuck to Trump that forced him out. If we libs could force Americans into electing a different R who wasn't such an embarrassment, I'd take that at this point.

Those that vote for trump to spite the PC loons have a more valid stance than those that wanted HRC because she is a woman. Everyone is taking a big bite of poop sammy. It really speaks volumes to our 2 party system and whom they put forth as candidates.

 

[tarheelbybirth]

are you denying this happened under Obama? I don't remember your outrage when he was President? The new immigration legislation working its way through the house and supported by Trump would stop this. Kind of ruins your narrative doesn't it?

It wasn't policy...it was the result of a flood crossing the border and having no room to hold them. Children were reunited with family members as quickly as possible - even if those family members were illegal themselves. It was always understood that the children were best served by being with their own family. That is not the case now - it is the policy of the US - so your narrative just took a hit below the waterline.

I don’t care if it’s not PC to say, people without avatars are subhuman loons.

I find this interesting as Trump has a black man for a cabinet member, promoted a black women to I can't remember but I think it was some type of General for the first time, just pardoned a black woman for drug crimes. Promoted the first openly gay ambassador, and prior to becoming President received awards from the black community and support from the likes of Jesse Jackson. I would give him an F if he was a white supremacist, KKK supporter.

Damn, she really pissed you off.

I don't really understand most of what you say anymore.

Get an avatar if you expect an answer. At the moment you’re irrelevant.

I can be civil and work with anyone but apparently you can't. So all libs are like this and I don't place any value on your posts. Hrump!

I'm not even going to go into the things he's done since becoming president since you'll just dismiss them. I don't even think he means to support them - but since he has no core values so it's just inevitable.

Nope, you didn’t want PC so now I’m calling you out personally. MAGA!

 

[Raglefant]

OR...you could bring forth a solid candidate and I think you could win the 2020 POTUS race by 10 points. But I sense that there may well be a far-left lunatic on the ballot, making Trump viable again.

Correct. I have no faith that the dems will put forth a candidate that those who swung for Trump will view as "solid." I have a feeling anyone they put on the ballot will be a far-left lunatic if anyone actually thinks that's what Hillary was.

 

[tarheelbybirth]

Hardly surprising. I'll ask again: How is Trump slamming those who take a knee during the anthem NOT "defining what counts as 'appropriate' speech"?

We don’t need the deplorables to like the D. We just need more people to turn out to support the D.

Ok, I actually understood that.

You're right. He shouldn't be involved in the whole NFL and national anthem stuff. He sometimes, perhaps often times, sucks.

 

[doughuddl2]

Translation: I can't take personal responsibility for my support of a lying sociopath that gets off on tearing babies from their parents and admires people who execute their subjects so I'm going to blame the people who get upset with me for supporting this guy.

You so fit her profile of the lib's. For your type it's either in or out. I'm sorry you can't cope with being on the loosing side.

 

[Raglefant]

Breaking this sentence down would make for an interesting college course, but I'll just say it saddens me that it was even uttered.

I did not say that Hillary was far left, although she was heading that way. I am talking about who is likely in 2020. For instance, I would have voted for Biden over Trump and I don't like Biden that much. I believe there are a fair number of people that would agree with me on that.

 

[doughuddl2]

I'm sure he'd love it if they were Mexican. I mean, he loves Kim Jung Un, who is known to force women to get abortions.

Classic+1

So...her entire premise - that the PC police on the left are driving her to Trump - is kinda bullshit? Given that he specifically and the right in general engage in exactly the same behavior?

Do you understand me now?

I don't deal in ABSOLUTES like you do. Yes, the right can suck.

Damn...HER article is the one with ABSOLUTES. Pointing that out seems to "unhinge" you. Why is that?

 

[jellyfish10]

I didn't vote for Trump but holy sh!t there are some lefties on here that have lost their minds.

It will be real interesting to see if this situation gets flipped here on HROT next election.

Do you remember the Obama administration and how this board treated him and his wife? Because I do.

 

[jellyfish10]

she nails it

Pic?

 

[tarheelbybirth]

Just like you lefties...always blaming the last admin.

oh...wait...never mind.

And there it is in a nutshell. Bill Clinton is a likeable guy but a POS to his family. Hillary lives the lie daily to put up with him for her shot to run the country. Clinton's both have had too many crimes of humanity for me and alot others to forgive.

Perhaps writing an op ed with a smidge of facts in it, instead of villainizing "liberals" as the root of all her problems....

That'd be a start.

 

[Lone Clone]

Lone Clone will love this article..but I have said it many times as well! This is a real thing and will happen..

I don't know if "love" is the correct word, but she's saying what I've been saying for over a year, so I can't say I'm upset with her essay

 

[Lone Clone]

Why has political correctness become the new buzzwords that make Republicans so angry? The definition doesn't sound so bad:

politically correct
adjective
US
abbreviation PC
avoiding language or behavior that any particular group of people might feel is unkind or offensive:

The politically correct term "firefighter" is used instead of "fireman."

"Politically Correct" is a term that goes back many decades. It was originally used in all seriousness, not in a derogatory sense, by communists and radical leftists.

No probably because I don't take sides.

Nice attempt at justifying derelicting one's duty as a responsible voter and betraying one's country by supporting an unqualified and unfit President. Blame your irresponsible voting and betrayal of the United States of America and its system of government on liberals hurting your feelings. That's the ticket!

 

[jellyfish10]

No probably because I don't take sides.

I remember it well. It was exactly the same but the roles are reversed. It’s too bad what this country has done to itself and neither side is devoid of blame.

calling a gay person a "fag" is not right, shaming somebody because they eat a chicken sandwich is beyond stupid

It depends on the motivation behind why you choose to eat the chicken sandwich. If you choose to eat it because you just like them you are not anti gay. On the other hand, if you make a point to eat at that restaurant to support their anti gay stance, then you are anti gay.

I sleep better at night knowing I got a pissed off rant off of you.

I tip my caps to cig and all the losers of 2016 hoping you can find some inner peace.

So you agree that the Uber CEO shouldn’t have to apologize to the ultra PC crowd for eating a sandwich

 

[gohawks50]

No, you're totally missing what happened. The left shouted anybody down that supported the police in that one. We were racists!

Don't call us racists when we point out crime is usually what leads to the police being involved in these incidents. If it isn't crime that causes the issues, it is the lack of respect for police. Not doing what they say. Not complying with their requests that eventually become orders. Don't support that crap and then turn around and claim I'm racist.

Being a racist, bigot, fascist is defined by the motivation behind your belief. If you immediately assume that an incident between a police officer and a black person was caused by the black person then it is a racist view.
