Honestly, did you expect anything short of this?

Perhaps I am naive and stupid- likely so, in fact- but I can't say that I would ever, ever, ever in a trillion years have ever expected that the United States of America would have a major party presidential candidate that so openly and nakedly roots against the United States of America, and that he'd be cheered on and voted for by 45% of my fellow Americans who apparently share his same sentiments.

I've got four family members in WNC that we've still not yet heard from, and even though I still think it's more likely that they are alive than dead at this point, to see a presidential candidate saying such vile and disgusting things to try to score political points off of a horrific natural disaster, makes me wish that the loser idiot in Butler, PA hadn't had such shit aim.

Don't forget promising to be a dictator "for a day" and fantasizing about a day of really rough violence to wipe out American "crime."

It can happen here. It's almost happening here. Even if Kamala wins, we will probably have a Nazi GOP Senate.

I respect your baseline optimism. I self flagellate at times over my baseline cynicism, and the defense mechanism I know it to be. I think preparing yourself for the nervous cynic’s outcome my be in order.

Best wishes to your people.

Appreciate you very much, brother!
 
I humbly and sincerely apologize to everyone for the profanity and the emotional posts in the last few minutrs. Best for me to log off for a little while and cool off. Trump brings out a nasty side of me that I don't like.

Maybe you should admit that Trump's idea of a day of violence is literally fascism and should be opposed by everyone. Then we can talk about MRob.

I don’t watch every Trump speech but from a quick Google search, sounds like he was talking about ways to stop petty crimes and shoplifting.

Are you suggesting he was promoting a national day of violence against all liberals or something? Or are you acknowledging this was about shoplifting and other similar crimes and how he believes we should respond by actually doing something to stop them instead of letting the crimes go unpunished?

Trump Suggests Terrifying Solution To Ending Crime: The Purge

His dangerous solution came on the heels of him repeating the false, fearmongering claim that crime is skyrocketing.

As many as 3-4 points? I really think he’s going to blow past that, but we will see. You admit Robinson has no chance to actually win the race though, right? Can we at least agree on that?

If I were placing a bet, I would bet on a Stein victory, but to say that a guy who got more votes than Trump did in 2020 has "no chance" is a bridge too far.

I'm sorry, do you think an outburst of violent police reprisals for "petty crime" is somehow better? Do you endorse the theory of "maybe we'll let the police beat a few shoplifters to death in public" as a means to accomplish something positive?

I generally hear you, and don't want to get overconfident about anything, but Robinson hasn't been within a single-digit margin in any poll released in the last ten days. The recent polls are showing him down like 15-18 points. It's a long way until election day but personally I'll be surprised/disappointed if he gets within 5 points.

He is truly a disgusting goddamn motherfucker and I have no qualms about wishing for his untimely demise, nor do I give a fuck about what it says about me as a person that I have no such qualms in this instance.

Alabama? What’s happening in Alabama, other than a major football game Trump took the time to attend Saturday night?

Of course it makes it better. Struggling to understand how anyone could believe differently.

From the way they were talking about it, seemed like he was promoting a widespread day of violence instead of a day of roughing up opportunistic criminals.
