Trump got shot! Staged? Not?

[Hatchets Molly]

What I find interesting (and maybe telling) is that a couple of pages back, I posted and reposted a legit question to Trump supporters on this board asking for an explanation to help non-supporters understand you, and not a single pro-T person who has crawled out of hiding on this board with double-digit postings responded.

YET...those same pro-T people LOVE to fight insults and lies.

So I'm still waiting.

For a decade, we've debated the rhetorical differences between Democrats and MAGA Republicans, and it made me think about this incident if the tables had been turned and we were having the same conversation in this same thread.

Similar to why we don't see Biden supporters driving around with five flags on our jacked pickups, window stickers of Calvin pissing on #FJB, wearing flag clothing and stupid hats, gold diapers, and the like. If one of you MAGAs posted a Biden meme with a grazed ear or made fun of his lost look or anything for that matter, it would not trigger me (or probably the majority of Biden supporters like the same does with MAGAs. I might think it is "tasteless," or I might even chuckle or feel nothing. That is why we are so incredulous and cannot understand the MAGA mindset; why it comes off as cultish. The instant anger and every other emotion you put into words seems way off the charts for someone you don't know, aren't close to, and in any other instance could care less about unless you are still butthurt over The Apprentice getting canceled years ago.

I'm just saying...when Biden gets made fun of because of a verbal gaffe or looking lost, half the time, I can make fun of it, too. The other half, it barely registers, or I'm off doing something fun and read about it days later. In a perfect world, neither of these guys should be running for anything except their next bowel movement.

Make it make sense.

Edit: To add, yes, we throw insults at each other on this board (like saying dumb cunts) because it has become so goddamn tiring with what seemingly makes no sense, tons of denial, not to mention all that white nationalism garbage and autocracy rhetoric.

If Biden does step down, it's Harris? So, a person who was picked for color of their skin and their gender not because of anything else. Good logic there.

Jesus. It's assholes like you that think it's still 1950. FFS. This is the problem with Trumpers.

I voted for Biden. I'll do it again if he runs against Trump. But Kerry67 is not wrong. Harris was 100% chosen because she's a Black female. The woman dropped out of her own Presidential race (the first to do so out of that group of candidates) because no one wanted her. She polled lower than the gay white dude. Much like Biden, she was indicative of the Democratic Party being disgustingly out of touch and able to produce a decent candidate. Since her appointment, she's been the Amazing Disappearing Vice President and has either by choice or by directive kept herself almost entirely out of the public eye. She WAS chosen for her gender and skin color, and has done absolutely nothing to prove otherwise. Why on Earth would anyone want her as President?

I think at this point people will have no choice but to give Kamala the time of day (albeit begrudgingly) if this happens, given the alternative. I'll gladly vote for whatever turd the Dems can come up with as long as it keeps us from four more years of Donnie the wannabe despot, especially now with the MAGA demographic threatening White Fundamentalist Christian Nationalist rule in the form of Project 2025. I can only hope there are enough sane folk in this country who are willing to do the same.

2nd/3rd? time you bumped your own post.......... Ok, I'll play (mainly because I'm worried about your blood pressure).

1. I applaud your feigned effort of trying to start an open dialog, but maybe if you had toned down the passive aggressive insults and stereotypes of your "legit question", you might get a "legit answer".

2. You specifically say "differences between Democrats and MAGA Republicans", which gives the impression that for you, there is no possibility that there are Republicans who are not thrilled with Trump/either candidate? It's the same as saying the "differences between Republicans and Unhinged Democrats", and stereotyping that all Democrats have the mentality of voting for "Anybody (diminished Biden, Harris, Jill, Hunter, Jimmy Kimmel, Kathy Griffin, etc.) but Trump". You are obviously an enlightened individual, capable of seeing that there are "shades of gray", or in this case "shades of purple".

3. I do agree with your assessment that "neither of these guys should be running for anything except their next bowel movement", However, the "instant anger and every other emotion you put into words seems way off the charts", for someone who feels both candidates are unworthy of POTUS?

The fact he specified "MAGA Republicans" as opposed to "Republicans" in general clearly implied he saw the distinction.

If you're not a MAGA Republican, he's not interested in your response. That should be simple enough to understand, even for a retard.

Man, you stretched far with your response and answered nothing except getting bent out of shape and taking many liberties with what you think you read. There is nothing unhinged or blood pressure-raising in my questions and comments. The entire point is that there is a difference between a Republican and a MAGA Republican, and I'd like to know why that is. I assume there are still traditional conservatives out there who do not play the Trump game. I'm open to hearing from either. If you deny that there is a difference between how the parties carry themselves in public, then you have already answered a portion of my question. Ignorance. I can drive two blocks to the strip mall and bring back the receipts of flag bearers, bumper stickers, and signs for Trump, and I guarantee there will not be a single vehicle or person with anything similar on the Democratic side. Again, help it make sense rather than do the same old song and dance MAGAs always do. Deflect and make baseless excuses.

Every post back and forth between a Biden voter and a Trump supporter in this thread is instant anger, most often coming from the person who believes their hero has been violated and made fun of. Make fun of Biden all you want. I don't care.

Yeah, I bumped it twice because everyone is eager to argue about conspiracies or Joe's brain fog or Trump's RNC crowd wearing ear bandages like little children pretending to be someone they think is meaningful or entertaining or whatever. Anything to avoid really explaining. Rather than state rhetoric about shades of gray, tell us all what those are. In my lifetime, I have voted for different parties. I'm not a staunch anything, but it doesn't take a PolySci grad to see what Trump is. Does it need to be said repeatedly for those in the back?

I don't care what you think of my words (or of me, for that matter). I only respond because your assumptions on the tone or intent are false, and you didn't do the one thing I was curious about: Explain why there are Republicans like Adam Kinzinger and then there are MAGAs like Greene, Boebert, and Gaetz - and that applies to the general public as well.

Harris, no question. Just because I don’t like the candidate doesn’t mean my views and opinions change to being diametrically opposed.

[exitflagger]

It's strange that fact checkers have said Trump's midnight rambler RNC speech last night was "remarkably dishonest".

Does it not occur to them that the only way the speech could've been "remarkable" is if he was somehow honest?

[Jason Jennifer Leigh]

Everyone I know is a MAGA republicans, they’re obsessed with him … I’m not afraid.

Nobody is screaming louder about Biden’s brain fog than democrats, they’re even threatening to go public with the “truth” about Biden to get him out.

SKY News says Biden will be back on the campaign trail next week.

I thought the Republican convention was perfection until Trump spoke.

The democrat convention if they have one will make the 1968 democrat convention look like a birthday party.

ITA. She's the embodiment of a DEI hire. Biden hated her. She tried to brand him a racist during the primary debates. They put her on the ticket to shore up A-A turnout because that was part of what sank Hillary (but not so much as white women voting for a pussy-grabbing rapist over one of their own).

[Hatchets Molly]

Kamala is smart, tough and quick. everyone needs to calm the fuck down with all of this "she has absolutely nothing to offer" shit.

I agree, but I also admit I don't know a lot about her. And she has been hard to find for the last 3.5 years. When I've seen her speak, there have been some good and less good moments. I did not pay much attention back when Obama debated Romney, but I understand Obama did not do well that night, but the dude is unquestionably a good orator. And when you look at the abysmal drivel of Cruz, Gaetz, Boebert, Greene, and the list is too long to type, they are in squirrel brain capacity compared to Harris.

It's fascinating to me that the media has basically steered Biden right out of this ship. You essentially know which way 45 states are going to go so these two are really only fighting for a handful of swing states and to think that Biden couldn't possibly come up with enough to pull Michigan, Pennsylvania and one other out of his hat seems asinine. Sure, lets just throw Kamala out there.

We agree here. It blows my mind. Biden to me won the debate. Even if he didn't, he's done great in the subsequent interviews and press conferences, and was great in the aftermath of the Trump shooting. There's value in being in an incumbent. Especially that one that already once beat his opponent.

[Jason Jennifer Leigh]

Kamala just said Biden/Harris are in it to win it together.

I think it was stupid of him to announce ''his'' preference regarding the race and gender of a potential choice. He publicically outed his pick as a dei hiring. Not that people would be fooled, but still... Imagine your boss saying ''Hey everybody, as you're all aware, we need a new hed of epartment. I know many of you are intersted and have the right profile for it, but I'm going with someone who's black and sucks dick. Or a lesbian. Black''.

Just make your pick an stfu about race and gender.

—
Former Vice President Joe Biden said Tuesday that when picking a running mate, he would prefer someone who was “of color and/or a different gender.”

“Whomever I pick, preferably it will be someone who was of color and/or a different gender, but I’m not making that commitment until I know that the person I’m dealing with I can completely and thoroughly trust as authentic and on the same page [as me],” Biden said while speaking to a roundtable of black journalists.

[Sleek]

So who will you vote for if it is Harris vs Trump?

Harris, no question. Just because I don’t like the candidate doesn’t mean my views and opinions change to being diametrically opposed.

This shit hurts my brain.

It's like, do you want a raft of progressive policies trying to bring the country into the future, or regressive policies trying to pull the country back to some falsely-imagined past?

For me, I want progress. I don't give a shit how likable the candidate is, if their ideas are retrograde horseshit, I am not voting for them.

But I feel like this is the divide. One side wants to vote for policies and ideas, the other wants to vote for a person.
