Or rounding up brown people who aren’t even necessarily migrants and hassling them.

Oh wait. That’s ok! Prosecuting a Congress member for disagreeing with the President is ok too!

It’s clear you are okay with government force, but it has to be what you like or support or something as benign as a tax break for buying an electric stove becomes “communism.”
It's well past time for you to stick your brown people comments up your twat.
Listen to what a growing number of 'brown people' think about people like you, ifonly. I agree with those 'brown people'. The race card you keep playing only digs yourself deeper into irrelevancy. Nobody is afraid of it anymore because we know it's all bullshit, and we knew it all along. And the more you use it, the more people see you for the abhorrent, irrelevant racist you are.
There are definitely some folks out there, who think if they say the right things, they’ll get to sit at the table with the white folks.

And now, if that was me, and I sat down and found myself next to you, I would be asking “check, please.”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the thing, ifonly and all the like-minded people on this bored.

There is NO LIVING PERSON in this world who is more well known and has been scrutinized more than Donald J. Trump. He has spoken to more people, been in the public eye for practically his entire adult life, has been interviewed more than anyone else, has had more press conferences than anyone else and has been written about more than anyone else. He has not hung out in his basement and let other people characterize him.

Anyone who cares to listen to what he says knows exactly where he stands on every issue, even with the mischaracterizations, misquotes, character assassinations, lawfare and slander that you and people like you have hurled at him, and directly and indirectly aimed at people like me that support him. He says what he means, and he means what he says. He may not always express himself with great tactfulness, but any fair-minded person knows what he is trying to communicate. He does not speak in word salads that mean nothing. Most of us don't support him as a cult figure. We support him because of his steadfast commitment to the values and positions that he explains everywhere he goes. And because he has a track record of not bowing down to political and legal pressure.

And, if you would be honest with yourself for a change, the American people have overwhelmingly elected him as President despite your never ending efforts to gaslight him and us. They know who he is and they know all the baseless, hateful arguments your side has made up against him. The majority of Americans have rejected your worldview. And if you want to remain relevant going forward, you and your party need to abandon your use of identity politics, of the race-baiting, the language creation and all the other bullshit you have built your party on. It ain't gonna work no more, and you and your party will fade into the dustbin of history. If any of you have the remnants of the ability to rationally engage in productive and meaningful debate to defend your shallow worldview, now is the time to brush up on it. Because that is the only thing that will be listened to. And if you taint it with BS like ifonly does with just about every post, your credibility is null and void.

And it is worth noting as shown in Weyoun's quote above and in my post in the Rino thread.

That, according to Weyoun-in the most absolutely racist and vile post ever made here, a black man who is concerned about black-on-black violence "just wants a seat at the table with the white folks."

I take exception to this one statement. Trump's victory was not the result of an overwhelming majority. His margin of victory was nowhere near LBJ's in 1964, Nixon's in 1972, or Reagan's in 1984. His margin of victory over Harris was 1.62%, smaller than any winner since George Bush in 2000. Hardly overwhelming.

Well, you can take exception, but I would be willing to bet the margin of Trump's victory was well over what was reported. But regardless, he still won handily. Despite the massive well-funded campaign and media and legal blitz against him.

I would have hoped that instead of finding a relatively minor point to complain about, as someone I have considered halfway reasonable, you would ponder and consider the main point.

The main point? That Trump says what he means and means what he says? I agree.

I thought you actually read things. And had somewhat of a comprehension ability. My mistake, I guess.

Maybe THAT is the reason we have a divided country. We are divided between those who can comprehend beyond the simplistic and those that can't.

OK, you have me totally confused. What, exactly, was the point you were trying to make? I agree that Trump has been in the spotlight for "practically his entire adult life". I don't know whether he's been interviewed "more than anyone else", but I'm sure he has been interviewed a great many times. I agree that "[h]e says what he means, and he means what he says". I agree that he doesn't "always express himself with great tactfulness". Is there some other point I'm missing?

Just for your ease, I have edited the post in question and have subtly highlighted the main point. You still may not comprehend it. but I'll summarize it for you: Calling us racists, homophobes and other shit like that is over. I hope that helps.

It is always helpful to read the entire post before commenting on it. Don't be concerned though. Many other people on this board have the same problem. Maybe that is why beebs and tlynn are very succinct. They have learned the number of words the leftists on this board can ingest at one time. Maybe I should learn from that.

Your bolded portion is spot on. I am curious if the D ptb will actually spend the next four years finding and grooming a good candidate, or if they'll spend all four years trying to impeach Trump and then try and fly Harris again.

OK, I'm not sure why it was necessary to put all that stuff in about Trump saying what he means, etc. But now that you've been kind enough to show what your real point was, we can discuss it.

Yes, Trump received a majority of the votes. But there are, I'm sure, a number of factors that explain it, not just a rejection of "your worldview". Each election is a referendum, so let's wait to see how the mid-terms turn out.

Certainly the Democratic Party needs to do some soul-searching. But, again, let's see what happens in 2026.

I'm no political expert nor a fortune-teller, but I seriously doubt that Harris will be tapped to run again.

I hope the Democrats don't waste time trying to impeach Trump - they don't have the votes anyway. Plus, thanks to the Supreme Court, anything Trump does is legal. So even though he violated federal law by firing inspectors-general, he's home free.

You can't comprehend why I explained that despite the public having unprecedented information as to who Trump is, both positive and negative, in social media, the traditional media, other politicians, the injustice system, the swamp and his own words, the America people chose him to be President? Your side, including the (at that time) current President supported by the media conglomerate and those that controlled him, called him a Nazi, a threat to our democracy, a racist and just about everything they could think of. They saddled him with several extremely questionable lawsuits and 34 sham felony convictions. Yet the majority of Americans elected him despite that. Even when they were called 'garbage' by the powers that be.

I think that was necessary to 'put all that stuff in about Trump' in there to prove that it seems to me that the American people no longer believe those entities that did everything they could to take Trump down for the past 8 years.
