undoubtedly there are peeps that hear that quote and get a visceral reaction to what a bombastic aloof POS our POTUS is.

i love it
it’s the only way to fight them
You:
Don’t fool yourself.
You are the biggest spoonfed narrative parrot on this board.
You’re quite obsessed with trying to discredit me — key word being “discredit.”
Why do you care so much — writing long and creepy diatribes to me at 4am (the witching hour?), you’ve literally done that.
If, as you say, I’m just being “spoonfed.”
Which is of course completely untrue. You’re never going to be able to box me in or pigeonhole me on anything.
I could never get my information and perspectives from one single place or source. Who would want to, with literally millions of independent “nodes” of information, in a huge hive mind of constant activity.
I can enjoy listening to Noam Chomsky, Chris Hedges, Michael Moore or Ann Coulter / Nigel Farage — or more obscure sources and lectures.
Secondly, for all my rants about “multiculturalism” and “diversity” — I actually appreciate different cultures, and made friends from all over the world during my many years outside the US.
My contention with “multiculturalism” is that it’s actually anti-diversity — by forcibly (and unnaturally) trying to mix people and cultures together in a big salad bowl, stirred and mixed by “the elites.” (As during the Bolshevik revolution)
For example — if I go to Morocco, I want to eat authentic Moroccan food, see authentic Moroccan architecture, and experience Moroccan culture (it looks like an incredible place).
“Gloabalism” in its true and current form is going to Morocco and seeing Starbucks and KFC everywhere, and listening to 50 Cent in Moroccan night life settings.
I say all of this as an ex globalist — my Generation was sold a huge lie about globalization.
Globalization (at its heart) is anti-culture and anti-diversity — a person will learn this most truly by traveling the world and developing an appreciation for other cultures.
For example: Mexico City actually looks like an awesome city (if it was safe) — but I don’t want us to merge with Mexico.
At the end of the day though, I know it’s going to be almost impossible to stop.
I was actually more interested in seeing the crowd. It was a microcosm of lower middle class middle America. The same people you see at Walmart, Dennys, and the VA. The same people that keep getting left behind by both parties. The same people who are the last to see higher wages. The same people who do the hard work so others can make more money instead of them. And they looked pissed. Not at Trump but at the people who get away with breaking the law while they never get a break.
Trump has tapped into them and still is.

I’m sure none of those MAGA-hat wearing people are on welfare and food stamps either, right?
@NZ Poke congrats on your first post without a link or meme or video or tweet. Try it more often.
Nobody is trying to discredit you, nobody on this message board has any credit. It’s that you post in a completely atypical way and it is ineffective. And it’s that you only sometimes will respond when questioned or challenged or when you do you feign ignorance.

What does that have to do with what I posted? I simply pointed out who it looks like in the crowd.
You do realize wages have stagnated under Humpty Trumpty? You do realize he’s giving tax breaks to the rich and doing nothing for the middle and lower classes, correct? You’re literally propping up someone who bragged about his apartment and wealth to blind sheep lower and middle-class supporters who think he’s there to help. Many of the same people who whine and complain about “government handouts” but take them.
Do you understand the total hypocrisy involved here? Do the optics register to you?
I didn't prop up anyone. Once again I simply pointed out who it looked like was in attendance.
And what if they are? Does that discredit anything he posted? If anything, it strengthens it.
4am....the witching hour? Is this more vibe analysis from you? You know....some people actually get up at 4am and are in the office working by 5:30a. Nothing creepy about that.
What a broflake you are.
You are whining right now about me mirroring almost verbatim something you said about another poster and about me trying to “discredit” you. Follow the good advice previously provided another poster.
Testing, challenging, and “discrediting” other viewpoints is literally what every single person on this board is doing. They are putting up their beliefs, their propositions, their viewpoints, their analysis up for scrutiny and challenge. Well....every single person but you. You’re just spamming the board with retweets from your “hive mind” of choice with no personal analysis, no critical reasoning, no support whatsoever.
As to why...I feel about you pretty much like this...
You said this past weekend you were going to debate differently here. That the endless memes and retweets would at least slow. I responded no you wouldn’t...that you can’t. Turns out I was right.
Do you have a reputable source that backs this statement up? I'm getting a very nice tax break and I'm not "rich."
I understand that, thanks.
I would explain further if I thought it would do any good. I’m pretty sure everyone else will get and understand what I am doing.

Looks to me that since, by your own acknowledgement, you are not rich (presumably middle class) and are receiving a "nice tax break" that this is sufficient to blow holes in the "doing nothing for the middle and lower classes" assertion. All it takes is one.
Even politifact tends to agree.
Those are all opinions and predictions from 2017. Is there any real world data out yet? I ask because the geniuses behind Obamacare were going to save us $2,500 year on health insurance premiums (prediction), but the real world data never demonstrated that to be true.
You do understand wages are stagnant/falling and the wealthy are controlling more wealth than ever? Yeah...assertion truly has holes blown in it lol
Look at the growth in the wealth gap during the Obama presidency. This isn't a new issue.
And why is that? Because there wasn’t a big enough dem majority in Congress to pass a tax hike on the wealthy. Last time this actually happened? First year of Clinton administration
“The Ominibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 increased the average federal tax rates for the top 1%, while lowering average tax rates for the middle class.”
The Democrats had enough of a majority to pass Obamacare. Do you think that raising taxes on the top tax brackets will solve wealth inequality?
In our American capitalism, wealth inequality is built-in. We would have to enact a significant amount of (gasp) socialism to counteract this, including capping salaries for athletes/coaches in sports, Wall Street CEOs and corporate executives.
But middle-class Republicans have this strange idea that giving the rich money actually trickles down to them lol...it doesn’t.
False. It just doesn't trickle down to you.
Also, nobody is "giving the rich money." Your entire premise is flawed and akin to Obama's "you didn't build that" mentality.
Apparently I am now rich and no longer in the middle class.
Due to this promotion, I would like to be addressed as sir in all forthcoming posts.
Letting people keep more of their earnings equals the gov't giving them money?
Who the hell taught you in school?
Who do you think middle class republicans work for? Homeless people?
We never heard what his gpa was at osu. Sometimes the elite iq kids are too smart for their professors and they reject their grading rubric.
After what has been a horrible week for our nation and Trump politically, I guess Trump needed something to make him feel better. I am sure he got that from his rally.
If those at the rally were "pissed" about Trump having to back down from his policy of separating children from their parents, then those people really need to consider their own humanity.
Trump played to a fringe element in American society on this issue and it backfired on him.
