Trump supporter brings conservative message loud and clear:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout ... urce=share
I don't think it's an insult to call Trump supporters idiots. It appears to me they exalt stupidity. They revel in ignorance and swim in BS.

In fact, I think they're idiots because they have a reptilian sense that it's irritating to people who aren't idiots. They are belligerent in their stupidity. That's not an insult; that's identifying a Trump supporter feature.

Trumpism is just another word for willful idiocy. To call them stupid is simply stating a fact. They've assumed stupidity as their mantle, their icon, their banner, their family crest.

Plus, you know... they're a bunch of whiny damned grievance babies, so stupidity is really their only choice.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

As if to underscore SS’s point above the universe created this person:

Ask me why I think she has a legitimate shot at a long political career?

Agreed that it was foolish of me to exoect an answer to the question asked when i knew full well that you only answer questions not asked.
Right now I’m asking myself, “why doesn’t he use spell check?”
As a courtesy to you in order to actually give you the opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way. Why would any of us want you to get bogged down with concepts and thinking when you are better suited for finding the red squiggly underlines?

I love the irony of you attempting to define some kind of standard about contributing in a meaningful way. But I also appreciate the comedy afforded by your lack of self-awareness.

Yes, this makes me want to amend my previous comment. Right wingers suck at comedy when they try to be funny.

Unintentionally? In a sad and pathetic way? They're a riot.

So Schmo is a right winger.

Last night Tucker Carlson is still spinning this while of course, attacking and demonizing the "left" as hypocrites for supposedly championing the first amendment and free speech until it comes to social media. If this were a real news outlet he'd be required not to lie to his audience. Freedom of speech doesn't and never has applied to venues owned by private entities. I don't have the right to scream "fire" in a movie theatre, I don't have the right to say "bomb" on an airplane, and I don't have a right to propagate fake news on social media. The fact that this issue is so brazenly partisan says plenty about how much the Right relies on fake news and misinformation. It literally defines who they are.

But Republican rubes love being misled if it means somehow sticking it to the libs, even in a meaningless, rhetorical sense.

As far as the emotional nitwits flocking to Parler so they can keep propagating BS, I say more power to them. All they're doing is creating an ideological safety bubble which makes social media life for the rest of us that more appealing. In other words, good riddance.

Me thinks you misunderstood my intention...its not me attempting to define some kind of standard, but rather just me making an observation.
Nevertheless, mob rule does not require the conclusion of "the mob is correct". but thanks for the effort.
