    in your mind during this thought, did you actually put that emphasis on the word okay?

    i love that radical liberals are showing their true colors and spreading hate and fear and paranoia because they didn't win. i've enjoyed seeing all the 'holier-than-thou', 'i love everyone', ' i know everything', 'i'm going to save the world on my unicorn' libs squirm.

    So you love trump more because of a reaction he gets out of a group of people you don't like? You know this is trump's tactic to manipulate others and it's how he got elected, right?
    i dont dislike any group of people. but i like seeing liberals squirm. its kinda nice.
    yeah, and the left are the ones spreading hate. ohhhh--kaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy.
  • Ladies and President-elect Trump supporters,
    Let us keep this thread civil and discuss the topic.

    You still haven't answered the question of what you think of trump's decisions in the last four weeks.

    I keep seeing the right saying this, but I have yet to see it in existence. it's like a dog accusing a cat of barking at it.

    I can't even begin to address how utterly ridiculous this post is. yeah, loving all people sure is radical!!! :dizzy:
    I wouldn't say the majority does it, but I would definitely say it has happened, and quite a lot since the election.
    Scroll through the threads, you'll find quite a few posts accusing people of being racist, sexists, bigots, and much more based solely on who they voted for. What kind of free election is this if you get shamed for voting for the other party? Trump has said some stupid things, and I think you were the one who even suggested that he just talks big without thinking first, so you'd understand that people who voted for him don't like everything he says. But they are still called a bunch of shameful names anyway. To be called sexist, racist, homophobic based on your vote can be a fear tactic in today's world. People are afraid to admit they voted for him in the work place or in social groups, not because they regret it, but because the stigma the far left has placed on your vote. And that sucks. Who wants to be labeled any of those things?
    And it does swing both ways, it just seems to be swinging more from one side right now because of the election.
    I didn't like Trump, but as bad as I think he's going to be I think Clintons was worse. I have the right to that opinion. But unfortunately I would not post that on social media that could be traced back to me personally for the stigma that has been placed on it and fear of offending someone at work. I don't want to deal with that. However, voting Clinton is okay to advertise.

    What's that have to do with you liking trump more? What's he done in the last month that you like?
    he has made libs squirm. i like that. libs are hard to stomach.

    I don't think he makes them squirm. He makes them question if he is capable of holding office.
    i question that too, but im not squirming....

    You are correct, kind of like the random fluffed feathered angry posts calling any and all people who even associate or display any sign of agreement with the word Trump assholes or scum of a human.

    yeah, you are right about that. for the record, when I see someone labelling all folks who voted for trump, I (and I think I'm not the only one) call them out on it. if they say they like a certain policy that has roots in those leanings, well then, the shoe just may fit. but a blind "xenophobe!" accusation simply by voting for him is uncalled for.

    you must suffer from Selective Reading Comprehension Syndrome. its all over the threads you post in 24/7.
    what you and pjfan call hate/fear/paranoia, I call geniune concern of a reality show bozo running the free world.

    enjoy wasting your time relishing being conned, um, I mean, "winning".
    i lost. i was dumb enough to vote for clinton. i knew i should have written in pete rose....

    ok, you can be scared and genuinely concerned, or whatever you want to call it, and i will continue to enjoy the squirm. fair enough? when the man fucks it up like all the know-it-alls say, (the same ones that said he could never win, but they were wrong) then i'll be concerned. my being paranoid about the worst case does nothing to change anything. lets see what happens. i dont know everything.

    let me guess, im so apathetic.....
    I think the overall original fear has dissipated a lot since then. Honestly, when I was watching the election unfold, I couldn't believe my eyes. I was legitimately fearful at that moment. I will admit that. But now I think, more than anything, it will be comical watching him trip over his own feet for the next 4 years.

    If he doesn't, all the better for the american people.

    It's not that all of Trump supporters are racist, sexists, or bigots. It's just that a good number of racist, sexists, and bigots voted for Trump.

    The correlation is well established, it's the causation that's concerning.

    As for the Trump supporters who don't consider themselves to be racist, sexists, or bigots; they're going to have to do some soul searching and come to terms with why they find themselves in such deplorable company.

    And if you're afraid to stand up for your preferred candidate for fear of offending someone, I think that speaks volumes about your candidate.

    to answer your question, no. i will never consider myself a liberal again. i like The Donald more by the minute. the more radicals continue to whine, the more i love The DON.

    And your reaction probably best describes a lot of trump voters. They don't seem excited about trump being president, but rather want to gloat about winning and say "we won, get over it". I don't see trump voters getting excited about his childish tweets or that he's filling the swamp and not draining it. Or that his plans will harm people working in manufacturing. That he'll raise the cost of living. My question now is how long will it take for trump voters to realize they got conned.
    I'm the opposite. I actually like him more. Exceeding my low expectations.
    What do you like so far?
    I pay zero attention to the temperament aspect...the idiotic tweets, the bluster, etc. I am not saying that isn't important but for me it is all about the decisions to date and as a conservative I generally like his appointments. I understand why progressives would hate them but for me these are competent people who will steer policy in a direction I would like to see it go. On the domestic front it is clear that he will aim to liberate businesses from the crushing taxes and regulations that prevent growth. On the international front I am a big fan of moves like the "Taiwan phone call" and I hope that type of stance combined with a quality Secretary of State selection (I'm personally hoping for Romney) allows US foreign policy to get back on the right footing. The danger for Trump from a conservative perspective will come on spending and entitlements during his term...those bills are coming due and he will be the one who has to finally confront the debt no matter how ugly that confrontation will be. Lastly he better get a handle on his personal business ties. He is correct that he is not obligated to divest but that shit creeps up over time and he will not be able to run from even the slightest notion that he is profiting off of government decisions forever. All in all though I am satisfied...I saw him as a terrible candidate with more upside potential and for me that potential is showing.

    It's the silent minority actually. And the conservative media is just as bad, its not all one sided like you all seem to think here in this thread.
