Gunnar, you're great... but man, I hate it when people quote that idiot.

You know he's a liar. Why bother with him? I just talked about how Trumptards are liars, and the next thing he says is a fu-cking lie. Inconsequential personality traits... like psychotic, malignant narcissism is inconsequential in a world leader.

You can't reason with a moron, Gunnar.

ETA: Meh, who am I to talk? I keep smacking ajax. Course, I'm not trying to reason with him... but you're probably blowing off steam in your own way, so I'll quit bugging you.

Yeah, I know he is an incorrigible troll impervious to reason, but perhaps someone not as dishonest or impervious to reason and human compassion as he might benefit from seeing others expose his vacuous, moral and intellectual bankruptcy.

Fu-cking liars agree, they love to fu-cking lie together.

Fu-cking lying assholes. Leave it to idiot Mormons.
I'm starting to kind of enjoy this trolling thing. Seeing you get this pissed off is kind of fun Schmo.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Oh, are you confessing now to being merely another dishonest troll, like subgenius, just for the enjoyment of getting a rise out of us?
In other words, even you don't really believe the nonsense you spout at us?

This is true. They are fu-cking liars, though, so they'll never admit it.

And they're so stupid, they don't realize their incompetent hero is also turning off independents. They think it's limited to "leftists" because these morons are complete morons. They actually think the country is in a better place now than 4 years ago. I mean, how fu-cking stupid do you have to be to believe that?

But again, you are free to disagree in whatever manner you choose, however, your disagreement will have no rational credibility for me when based solely on grievances for inconsequential personality traits. For example, skin color is irrelevant to a person's ability to effectively serve in a political office.
So what is it you agree with? Removing all constraints on how wealthy capitalists make profit, no matter what potential damage is done to our environment or human health and quality of life?
Notwithstanding your thread derail, but how do you expect a rational answer to your nonsensical question?
Your loaded question here is like me asking you "Do you enjoy being a pedophile?".
Point being, it's nonsense for you to propose that i believe what you are saying here and it's illogical to propose that any Trump policy or any Republican platform sets forth such absurdity. Simply put, your hyperbole is emotional and irrational in both form and substance.
So given the evidence, remind me as to what level of response is merited by your post?

In an interesting tactic the Trump campaign described Harris as too tough on crime and simultaneously made the claim the potential VP will allow the country to fall into criminal chaos.

I know I know.

Hey! still waiting for your input on how Icarus, Schmo, and others are standard bearers for "rational discussion". Just trying to up my game so I can get over that "rational" bar they set.
As a reference, see Schmo's post upthread about 3 steps or so.

Subgenius,

I was actually going to post how I appreciated you and Ajax taking some time to flesh out your thoughts, engage the posters with sentences and paragraphs rather than drive-by memes or one-liners, and arguing on behalf of your political positions. I think taking the time to argue your points with a bit of detail - but not to the point of exhaustion (EA you could take a hint here) - is helpful to see the more human and rational side of someone who supports the GOP and by extension Trump, ie, motivations for supporting his policies rather than being stuck in a cult of personality.

As far as Icarus and SS go, they've pretty much said what they've had to say and I'm guessing don't believe anything they could say to any degree would be persuasive to anyone on this board so they've just resorted to being a sort of alarm clock posters and use the forum as catharsis. I'd rather people on both side stick to long form discussion because we're all better for it, but you have to be the change you want to see in others. That said, if it becomes apparent others aren't reading what takes effort to post, I can see why they don't bother.

As we draw closer to the November elections I'd actually like to see more discussion on the topics and policies that'll shape the election rather than posters just telling one another what they are and how they think and thus they're racist or a Lib or whatever we call each other when we think an injustice has occurred in the public arena.
