Bonnot OG Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 WWhen’s the last time you heard any Trump supporters talking about the need to understand those left of them politically? You haven’t, and that should tell you something, that they are selfish individuals that live in a bubble and want to be catered to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah -- these are the sorts that believe 199% in telling other people what to do, what to think, to stay in their place, sit down and shut up -- and indeed, don't believe other people have either capacity or right to think at all. They also believe in killing those who don't think like them -- or at the least it's their right to do so, because they are entitled and everyone else is either to be used by them or scum to eradicate.

Someone should raid all of their aid ships and strip search the journalists on-board, immediately! Let's roll out the tanks and flatten all of their houses and throw them into the sea of Galilee!

Martell Spy Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Quote Speaking at the opening of the new U.S. embassy in Jerusalem, Jared Kushner made a passing reference to Monday’s carnage in the Gaza Strip, where at least 52 Palestinian protesters were shot and killed by Israeli security forces in the worst violence there in almost four years. “As we have seen from the protests of the last month and even today, those provoking violence are part of the problem and not part of the solution,” Kushner said. The notion that Israeli forces were blameless in the ongoing violence, even as their role has been been condemned by human-rights groups and several governments over the last several weeks, is consistent with a White House that backs Benjamin Netanyahu’s heavy-handed tactics at every turn. Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah said on Monday that the deaths amounted to a “propaganda attempt” by Hamas, the militant organization that controls Gaza. Still, Kushner’s remark was sufficiently callous that it was excised from the official White House transcript.

People should know not to protest about stuff, because protesting will get you killed. Ergo protesters are part of the problem. No protests, no problem.

That's a good one (I genuinely found your comment funny). And it does make sense for you to read Solzhenitsyn if you voted for Trump since they shared a certain love for Putin.

I'm not even saying you necessarily have to to be "morally correct," but at the same time, this is such an overtly bullshit, hypocritical stance to take. Not surprising at all.

To be fair, every other week there's a high profile 'What Trump Voters Feel' piece somewhere. Nobody gives a fuck how the people who want equality feel.

Spring Bass Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I'm honestly curious as to why the NYT and other papers are so heavily writing these stories. Are those articles really generating a lot of profitable traffic? Are the journalists writing them just so weirded out that these nice people could be Trump supporters still that they keep picking at it? I guess it could be a narrative. It wouldn't be the first time that the mainstream political press in the US became fixated on a narrative about a person or people, and then could only be budged with great pressure and time from it (see "Paul Ryan, conservative policy wonk and Serious Man"). The narrative seems to be that the White Working Class voted for Trump because of economic pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
