I know you just like to troll, but no, it doesn't happen all the time. Not in the true sense of friendship, anyway. He may know them, speak politely with them, but they aren't actually friends.

calling people out for their abrupt generalizations for "how it is" based on their own limited experience is not trolling.
"True Friendship" is a ballsy assertion that relies solely on a subjective view, or group-think at best.
I know my dog to be subhuman and inferior, but am experiencing a true friendship with that dog...and there are many people i hold in that same regard, as an honest admission would find you doing the same.
But then again...you have already decided what true friendship means for people like me, er, for people not like you.

The demographics of the country got worse for the Republican party between 2012 and 2016 not better. Union workers changing sides in the rust belt was a big part of Trump's surprise win. Trump's win was a rejection of socialism, globalism, illegal immigration, and the deep state. It's people who listen to Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin, not people who listen to David Duke.


Trump was able to win Florida mainly by getting a higher percentage of the white vote than McCain and Romney.

It is true that people who voted for Obama in the rust belt ended up voting for Trump. During the 2018 midterms, all the three rust belt states that delivered Trump his victory in 2016 (PA, MI and WI), the Democrats won the Senate and Governor’s races. Senator Casey of PA in 2018 won his re-election bid by as much as 13.1%. Link
The 2020 Democratic Nominee should be able to win Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are no longer concerned about the debt. Public debt during Trump’s Presidency has increased from $14.403 trillion to $17.072 trillion. Link

Lol, in sid the subsloth's neverending attempts to humiliate himself, he uses his "true friendship" with his dog to explain how our resident racist, white supremacist could also have a "true friendship" with people he considers subhuman:

1 - I am starting to think sid the subfaps has never had an actual human friend who didn't rely on him for care and feeding.
2 - Comparing black people to dogs is, well, not shocking coming from our resident barely literate, internet "architect" and half witted trumpster (is there any other kind really?) who thrives on continuous humiliation.
3 - His life is the epitome of "limited experience" but I love watching him (barely coherently) talk down to other people like the lonely, do nothing, been nowhere basement dweller he is...its entertaining. sad but entertaining.
4 - I get that he doesn't really understand the meaning of words but I do love when he constantly tries, and fails to correct the words other people are using. Its like he is still stuck in the "10 year old who was told he was smart by his parents way too often" phase. Sort of neckbeardy...

Just stop right there. You don't have any black friends. You cannot actually be 'friends' with people that you think are subhuman and inferior.


Not only do you not seem to know what I think, you thankfully know nothing about my friends in real life. I certainly don't think blacks are subhuman. They have the same divine potential as all human beings have in my view. I can't understand where you're getting this from? I've admitted that blacks in ways possess different talents or weaknesses than whites but I've always maintained that they're equal in eternal potential.

Even over the past few weeks I've met some very spiritual and godly black people. One came over and demanded to detail my truck after I helped him get his CDL. We had a love of sports in common and he was actually a little taller than me. When I told him how much my wife bitched about me spending time washing my truck he wanted to help.

One friend played doubles with me in tennis. He was an incredible mover, a physical therapist, and a descendant of slaves. How much crap do you think he gave me about white privilege or that my ancestors might have owned one of his ancestors 200 years ago? Neither one of us gave two bits about any of that. Both of us were Christian, conservative, and believed in America first. We both voted for Trump! There really wasn't much difference between us other than pigmentation. I wish it could always be that way.

Just evangelicals who didn't want to vote for a Mormon? I used to think this but Mitt Romney has done nothing but show me reasons to be glad he never was elected president. He's not really a conservative. Maybe this explains why white voters weren't very enthused about McCain.

Trump is also not really a conservative. But a lot of Republican Presidents weren't really conservatives. I believe that we have to go back to Coolidge when we last had a GOP President that was a real conservative.

So Reagan wasn't a conservative in your view?

I'd probably lump GHWB, GWB, Mitt Romney, and John McCain into the RINO category. They've refused to comment on politics when it came to Obama and the hard left agenda but took every opportunity they had to criticize Trump. That won't be forgiven.

I don't think that Reagan was a real conservative as President. The National debt nearly tripled under his Presidency. But Reagan was not a divisive Present like Trump is. Trump is the most divisive President in my lifetime.
