How on earth were Reagan and both Bushes not conservatives? Legolas Send a noteboard - 23/12/2019 10:09:03 PM

View original postI also love how everything he says or does makes the Left’s heads explode. But he is not in any way a conservative, any more than Reagan or both Bush 1 and 2 were conservative. On the other hand, any of the Democratic candidates will destroy the worth of my 401k. So, I’m a reluctant Trump supporter. Because he’s not a fucking Socialist. And because I will enjoy immensely the outpouring of rage and tears when the Senate acquits him.

Re: your first sentence, I'm reminded not for the first time of the scene in The Dark Knight where Alfred tells Batman, about Joker: 'Some men just want to watch the world burn'. That seems like the mentality of most Trump voters, or at least the ones who aren't wealthy enough that they really profit from his policies: it's not about making the US a better place or doing anything to improve their own lives, it's just about sticking it to those damn smug liberals, whatever the cost. Basing your decisions on resentment and spite is one thing when it comes to deciding who you support in the Super Bowl, but for elections you'd think people might consider a broader perspective than that.

WHO HERE IS A TRUMP SUPPORTER OR VOTER?!?! Cannoli - 19/12/2019 05:30:11 AM 216 Views
Tom, for starters. I know you aren't. Not entirely clear on mook's exact position. Legolas - 19/12/2019 07:05:15 PM 213 Views
Re: Tom, for starters. I know you aren't. Not entirely clear on mook's exact position. Cannoli - 19/12/2019 09:48:25 PM 228 Views
But impeachment/inquiries is not legislation Floffe - 20/12/2019 09:54:19 AM 223 Views
So what, you think what Trump did in that phone call and the months after was fine? Legolas - 20/12/2019 05:22:57 PM 190 Views
He could have vetoed the aid, see. So it was ok to secretly withhold it. fionwe1987 - 21/12/2019 04:30:17 AM 160 Views
WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE PHONE CALL? Tom - 21/12/2019 04:21:59 PM 192 Views

My position? damookster - 19/12/2019 10:07:22 PM 241 Views
The question was whether or not you're a Trump supporter. Cannoli asked. I am. Tom - 20/12/2019 12:09:43 AM 216 Views
Am I? Only indirectly. damookster - 20/12/2019 02:28:25 AM 217 Views

How on earth were Reagan and both Bushes not conservatives? Legolas - 23/12/2019 10:09:03 PM 204 Views
Cannoli has written about this many times and done a better job than I could. damookster - 23/12/2019 11:39:20 PM 209 Views
I would expect statements like that from Cannoli, yes, but not from you. Legolas - 24/12/2019 10:05:49 AM 219 Views
We agree on one point damookster - 24/12/2019 03:26:45 PM 208 Views
Where do you think the support for Trump comes from? Cannoli - 30/12/2019 11:54:33 PM 184 Views
Did you mean Peter? Cannoli - 19/12/2019 04:42:53 AM 213 Views
He means Steve King, Congressman from Iowa. Very controversial guy. *NM* Legolas - 20/12/2019 05:25:10 PM 113 Views
In NJ, Peter King (NY) is the first one that comes to mind. *NM* Cannoli - 30/12/2019 11:22:34 PM 102 Views
