Those who voted for Trump are Treasonous Americans?

[Franisdaman]

As in independent, I simply laugh at some of the stuff that comes out of Republicans' mouths and tweets. And I laugh at what some Democrats say and tweet. There is not much common ground in politics now a days. That's why I like candidates like Amy Klobuchar, who works with ANYONE, R or D, to try and get things done. And that's why I am open to independent candidates for President as well.

And then there are the crazy, outrageous posts that appear on HROT, like this one (see end of post), from Ciggy. If you (Democrat candidates, especially) want to win the votes back from the independents who voted for Trump, you make your case and you ask for their vote. You don't call their previous support for someone you despise treasonous. Words matter.


That Ciggy post:

anyone who cares at all about the future of our nation and that of the world at large will forever be appalled at the number of treasonous Americans who voted for and support an unqualified and unfit charlatan to be President of the United States. History will not judge them well.

Maybe not treason, but gross stupidity or greed apply.

 

[Huey Grey]

What is wrong with you? Ranting about this in the other thread wasn't enough?

 

[theiacowtipper]

So what do you think about Trump calling a free press the “enemy of the state”? Is a press, even if you accept the argument that is biased, an enemy of the state?

 

[Moral]

Bill Clinton worked excessively with Republicans. Obama was willing to make compromises on social security because he wanted republicans to work with him. Hillary most certainly would have worked with republicans. Your girl Amy is just a continuation for the Third Way Democrats that all have worked with republicans. Can we stop pretending like she is something new? She is the same thing the democrats have been fielding since 92.

again, that is why I support Klobuchar.

Maybe not treason? But you might consider it treason?

Wow.

Our country truly is F'd.

 

[VicHawkeye]

People are responsible for their own shitty votes. The opposition had some bonehead supporters does not fly as an excuse.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

I don't know. Is stupidity considered a treasonous offense?

 

[Franisdaman]

Saying so is going to help get Trump re-elected.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Lol. Then this country deserves him.

 

[JRHawk2003]

A lot of those people who support him have pre-existing conditions. We will see....

First time I wouldn't call them treasonous. Those who vote for him in the next election, are without a doubt, traitors.

The funny thing is none of those users are running for President. Here are some examples of Trump calling opponents treasonous.




I think his words should be more upsetting to Americans than random HROT posters.

Edited to add:
Isn't your post some violation of the rules by calling out other posters?

 

[LuteHawk]

Some of those who voted for Hillary Clinton were
illegal immigrants in Sanctuary Cities. Yet she still
lost the election in 2016. Some of those who voted
for Hillary Clinton were Chicago people who voted
twice and sometimes three times. She still lost the
election in 2016.

Listen @LuteHawk , I generally like you as a poster here and your quirkiness can be quite entertaining at times, but if you insist on making statements like this you better have the proof and a link at least. Otherwise you’re just a big fat liar like our current POTUS.

And Trump should be called out for what he says. And he obviously is called out all the time.

But enough with the what-about-isms.

Outrageous statements need to called out no matter where they occur. They need to be called out on HROT. PERIOD. But instead of calling Ciggy out, MANY posters liked the comment & now are defending the comment. Incredible.

 

[Franisdaman]

And this is all that you can come back with? Incredible.

 

[Franisdaman]

And?

Interesting. So what do you propose we do with all those who voted for Trump?

 

[Franisdaman]

Not the first time. If they vote for re-election? You’re god damn right they are.

So what do you propose for punishment for those who vote for Trump for a 2nd time and, in your mind, commit treason?

 

[LuteHawk]

As I have stated many times, I did not vote for Trump
or Hillary in the 2016 Presidential election. The real
challenge for the Democrats and GOP is to give the
American people some outstanding candidates in
2020.

Our nation needs a leader who can bring the people
together. We need someone who can unite us and
not divide us. We need someone with good moral
character, quiet humility, and gravitas with class.

[JWolf74]

The especially delightful part is after your multiple threads talking about posters violating forum rules. I'm pretty sure "calling out posters by name" is like #2 on the list. So please, do the right thing...self impose a permanent ban on yourself. Make this board a better place.

 

[JWolf74]

I think we should punish them in the most horrible way possible (for them, at least).

I think we should force them to read a book. Maybe make them have a conversation with a brown person.

 

[JWolf74]

And?

Frankly, I'm pretty happy to be in that group of 5.

I edited the orig post with that information. I copied from post 14 and pasted to the orig post. If you were a brilliant person, you would have noticed this.

And all you have to say for yourself is "U mad, bro?"

Incredible.

Interesting that you agree that it is treason to vote for a candidate you oppose. Sounds like something Trump would say.

Incredible.
