Trump is deliberately turning Republicans into violent savages

It should come as no surprise to anyone to learn that Trump’s rallies are a magnet for the lowest common denominator. If there is any sort of diversity among Trump’s supporters, it’s only in the slight difference between proud white supremacists with swastika tattoos, and semi-closeted racists, who prefer to hide behind crosses while crying that their ‘traditional Christian values’ are under attack. Politically speaking, however, there’s very little difference between the Tea Party platform, the platform of the American Nazi Party, that of the KKK or any other white supremacist organization.

I am not "strangely silent". I said violence is wrong as soon as that one Trump asshole sucker punched that other, #BLM, asshole. The problem is LWAs like you not likewise condemning left wingers who disrupt Trump's event, seeking to #shutitdown.

Instead, you are very angry at protesters who are protesting the very thing you claim to disagree with.

These "protesters" are not merely speaking their mind. That would be fine. They are deliberately trying to shut down Trump's speech because they disagree with it. That is a longstanding tactic among leftist college students who disrupt campus speakers (often pro-Israel ones), preventing them from speaking. That tactic has worked because colleges have been very deferential to left wing radicalism in the recent decades.

So forgive me if I have trouble accepting your claim that you "oppose" violence. Your words ring rather hollow based on your own arguments.

I don't give a fuck what you accept. You are obviously a LWA who welcomes radicals shutting down opposing speech.

When Republicans talk about "free speech," they mean something very different from the rest of us. To Republicans "free speech" means no one is allowed to disagree with them in public.

No, disagreement in public is one thing. Trying to shut down opposing speech is quite another.

Again, if conservatives tried to shut down a Bernie rally in the same fashion would you be fine with that? Or would you decry "brown shirt tactics"?

- - - Updated - - -

free speech = disorderly conduct

buying tickets and then getting beaten up = tresspassing

So you would welcome conservatives disrupting a Bernie rally?

Not only are Bernie supports against that and not doing it, but they wouldn't be going against oppressed persons, and also Bernie is not supporting it, so your allusion to brown shirts makes no sense in context. Your liberals are just as bad mantra has no legs.

Trump: manifestation of Loki

I thought this was a good summary of Trump and the bubbling violence around it...
https://www.commentarymagazine.com/politics-ideas/campaigns-elections/trump-is-loki/

The charged atmosphere surrounding Trump is charged because he has charged it.

And if you have the sickening feeling this is only the beginning, you’re not alone. Trump, I’ve often said, is a manifestation of Loki, the god of misrule. Misrule breeds chaos. Chaos breeds violence. A political party that chooses Loki for its leader is a political party with a rank-and-file choosing chaos. And a political party whose populist left is provoking its rival into choosing chaos is morally stained as well.

Word salad is a "confused or unintelligible mixture of seemingly random words and phrases"

So you stick with a short quip in response to me telling you I have no fucking idea of what you just said...brilliant.

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

On the other hand, what do these protesters think they're accomplishing by disrupting Trump's campaign events? They're not presenting any ideas for consideration. They're just antagonizing his supporters and disrupting the free marketplace of ideas you'd think they'd be embracing.

Please don't talk sense. You are ruining the tenor of this whole thread.

Yes, Trump inciting violence and intolerance is just completely silly to raise objections to.

Sanders/Trump

I'd have to vote for the opposition. Anybody who'd put Donald Trump one heartbeat away from the Presidency when its his own heartbeat being talked about would prove himself unfit for office just by that one fact. There are a lot of stairs in the White House and anyone's whom Trump's a VP to would have a tumble down at least a few flights of them in short order.

From your own link "word salad" refers to a neurological condition and not mere lack of understanding by the reader.

I thought I was quite understandable. But let me explain to you. "Trump derangement syndrome" is a derivative of "Bush derangement syndrome", originated by Charles Krauthammer, and which he defined as "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency -- nay -- the very existence of George W. Bush." Subsequently the term has been used with others, such as "Clinton Derangement Syndrome" or "Obama Derangement Syndrome". "Peak" refers to maximum value of something. I think comparing Trump to an evil norse god constitutes (at least a local) maximum of Trump derangement.
Clear?

Loki wasn't evil, and although his status in Norse mythology is complex, generally in modern times he is known as a trickster god.

But he did have sex with pretty much everything that moved, so he would be more analogous to Bill Clinton than anyone else.

Also, don't help enable those who are culturally appropriating Norse mythological figures for their own profit and gain.

Well, Loki had sex with a monster and gave birth to the Fenris Wolf, who's going to destroy the planet and Bill had sex with Hillary and gave birth to Chelsea. If that's not a one-to-one comparison, I don't know what is.

Yeah, and if I were a psychologist, then I might have been writing about your neurological issues. You might want to take a look at the section for “in media” for any contextual reference to my meaning. Also consider the word “generator” after the word “word salad” as you continue to feel trampled upon. Though it could be you have not ever heard of word salad generators:

Yes, thank you that is now clear, as I evidently haven’t paid attention to the kinds of writers who regularly employ this phrase. Though I have to say that it is pretty funny to get all worked up about a relatively pedestrian article which was fairly balanced. The article provided no defense of those who came to disrupt the Trump rallies. And paranoia has about as much to do with that article, as you having a neurological issue. I also find it humorous that you think the author was simply comparing Trump to an “evil” Norse god. Evil…LOL your Christian mythological roots are showing. But yeah, by today’s standards Loki probably wasn’t a nice guy-god. Though the author might be onto something:
http://norse-mythology.org/gods-and-creatures/the-aesir-gods-and-goddesses/loki/

In the tales, Loki is portrayed as a scheming coward who cares only for shallow pleasures and self-preservation. He’s by turns playful, malicious, and helpful, but he’s always irreverent and nihilistic.

Maybe you also missed this part of the article among others, as you raced to loki:

If you want to go to a Trump rally as a Trump hater, you are free to do so. If you want to stand up and unfurl a Bernie Sanders banner at a Trump rally, you are free to do so. You are not free to yell, to interrupt the proceedings, or to incite or create violence. If you are escorted out, you must do so peacefully. Outside the rally, you have to obey the laws, too.

In the end, well written and thought out criticism of the actions of another, hardly constitutes paranoia, nor paranoia syndrome, nor derangement syndrome. But your phrase does a good job of providing a mindless rant...

OK, yes, Chelsea Clinton won't actually eat the sun, she'll just destroy it through incompetence. While the net effect to humanity will be the same when comparing the two of them, the technical details of how they get there will be slightly different.

I tried, but I couldn't do it

Speaking of Trump Derangement Syndrome (yeah I went looking in the meantime, but not before…), I found this quite humorous, but not so much for the article, but for the noise in the comment lounge. Some guy got totally POEd (or maybe Trumpstered) by what he thought was a Trumpster last September.

Yes, yes, comments section, NRO is full of Trump Derangement Syndrome, we’re all GOP Establishment wimps, we’re all in the tank for Jeb, yadda yadda yadda…

So what? He's right. Plus it totally was McCain's fault for getting caught in Vietnam. And Trump says good things that I like. And he stands up to the media when they're mean to him. And he's not the establishment or something. And I always secretly liked universal healthcare and higher taxes anyway. Trump '16!

troyriser @Mrowley • 6 months ago
I voted reluctantly for John McCain but yours is one of the basest slurs I've ever read. 'Totally his fault for getting caught in Vietnam'? Really? Those men who were forced to surrender at Corregidor and who endured the Bataan Death March? Totally their fault, too? How about Jeremiah Denton? James Stockdale? Their fault?

Look, it's one thing to support Donald Trump. Go for it. It is, after all, a free country. But diminishing McCain's ordeal in order to make your weaselly hero somehow less than craven--a man who, by the way, equates prep school with real Service--is despicable beyond measure.

You Trump people have truly lost the plot.


Mrowley @troyriser • 6 months ago
I agree with you. This post was meant to mock/satarize Trump supporters. I tried to make it stupid and outrageous enough to make this clear. I can't blame you for reading it as authentic, though. Sadly.

I wonder what National Review’s comments would have looked like some 3+ decades ago when I used to read it…as it seems to be an animal farm these days.
