Latest tweet Somebody with aptitude and conviction should buy the FAKE NEWS and failing @nytimes and either run it correctly or let it fold with dignity! Our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting, NOW. Look what is happening all over Europe and, indeed, the world - a horrible mess!
Also, Trump is wrong, or a liar, nytimes is doing well and is growing in response to Trump's moronic statements.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -

“It’s not a Muslim ban, but we were totally prepared,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “You see it at the airports, you see it all over. It’s working out very nicely, and we’re going to have a very, very strict ban, and we’re going to have extreme vetting, which we should have had in this country for many years.”

I agree. I think when trying to relate to people who figure Trump is awesome... try to connect on common ground and then slowly but surely try to have them see things differently.benjs said:
Halifax, I mean this honestly: treating people who feel differently than you this poorly is not productive to showing them why they shouldn't. This goes for the Trump debates, but also any other topic in life, and there are a few prerequisites which without them, you're going to have a hard time changing mindsHalifax2TheMax said:Woa! Woa! Woa! Because that's what I do. I print my name, I sign my name. And then when, I sing the pledge of allegiance. Because going to a wedding and entering a country are the same. Are you usually this misinformed? Or just hateful? Be honest.
1. Don't attack character. If someone calls me a Nazi sympathizer and I'm not, that person's credibility is lost in my eyes, because I feel they fallaciously make conclusions.
2. Don't make a battle out of a debate. If both of your objectives are truth and not war, then exposed knowledge which adds to a pile of data on which to pass judgment can only be a positive. Don't let winning be the objective, it must be discovery of the truth.
3. Recognize the bias you have inherited, and that there is no shame in needing to consciously strip your opinions of the biases within you in order to reassess the truth of your opinions. It is not an attack to be reminded of bias.
4. Just be respectful. We're living things here.
I'm sorry if you find this preachy, but I've found these to be things absent by and large in this community. I've probably forgotten them from time to time too but am trying to be more cognizant of them.
Allow me to demonstrate.
Trump lovers... here is a song I think of when I think of you:

Latest tweet and it's true. Don't read it Jose.
Christians in the Middle-East have been executed in large numbers. We cannot allow this horror to continue!

Where is the ban list for white men with mental health issues? Oklahoma City... Columbine... Aurora... Newtown... Charleston...
I guess we just keep the AR-15 express lane open for them...

As BS alluded to... the Trump lovers with remote levels of intelligence worship Trump secretly. Openly stating you really dig Trump is tantamount to coming out and saying something like, "Hitler wasn't all bad." It's just not going to go over very well at all socially.JC29856 said:

There's only a few Trump supporters around here that have come out of the closet to cheer on their champion. That's why I posted that song for them- to brighten up their day and find some common ground with some music I think they'd like."My brain's a good brain!"0 -

good catchy song though, thanks for that0 -

I realize you are trying to help, and that's good but I don't think you have been paying attention. You are missing more than half of the equation.benjs said:

I personally appreciate Halifax for calling out the bullshit when he sees it. I have learned a lot.0 -
