They're talking about a Million Maga March on Washington.

Sounds like fun...

I'm pretty sure the absolute last damn thing America needs right now are pissed off people taking to the streets by the thousands.

Yeah, but look at the bright side...When these guys get through, the area may be cleaner than when they started...

Last hurrah to feel the crowd’s adoration?
Last chance to transfer even more money to political consultants and operatives?
Last fund raising tactic to payoff campaign debts?

Maybe they’ll do this in Georgia where there is a good chance the Senate races will go into run offs to help shore up the Republican Senatorial candidates there?

They're talking about it.

@Aqua-Letifer Maybe all the Trump Women can get together and knit up MAGA pussy hats.

Nah, they've got real ones. It's the other bunch you're thinking enough that has to have headgear for bathroom decisions.

At what point did we get so selfish as a nation that we refuse to allow things to not go our way?

At what point do Trump's followers actually stop believing his bullshit?

That's never, ever going to happen. It has absolutely nothing to do with being too dumb to see Trump for what he is. It's got nothing to do with Trump at all.

There's a shitload of white people out there who went to school or joined a trade, built up their job or their business, got married, had kids and woke up one day to half the country telling them that they're racist robber-barons. They didn't get to where they were through working toward it, and their life's hardships--family members getting sick, getting laid off--don't mean anything because they're all racists who earned what they have by stepping on the backs of minorities. Further, they better atone for their atrocities and do it publicly if they want the resentment towards them to dampen.

Then along comes this orange blowhard telling them that they're awesome.

If you want the "idiots" to stop liking the windbag so much then his supporters have got to stop being demonized.

It's not just conservatives who are sick of being told how stupid and awful they are.

And you can't just lay the blame for all this bullshit on liberals.

Okay, you have two separate points there. Care to flesh them out more? Why do you think those two are true?

I'm serious. I'd feel better if I could be proven wrong about my position on this but I don't have the evidence for it and I've been looking pretty damn hard. Including on here.

Doctor Phibes · 9 Nov 2020, 16:27

Seriously, have you never seen any abuse doled out to liberals here?

Deport them, lock them up, sign of mental illness, traitors, hate America, not real Americans, enemies of the people, etc. etc. I don't generally take it seriously, but it gets pretty fucking tiresome.

I could go on, but to be honest I'm getting a little sick of it. I've got leaves to rake, and it's clear when people start pointing out my country of birth, and tell me to STFU because I'm not eligible to vote that my opinions aren't actually welcome.

I see it here, yeah. No, I don't like it at all. But I don't see it anywhere else.

I hear white-conservative bashing from friends, family, through Facebook even though I'm not even on fucking Facebook, in my office and on LinkedIn. Daily basis.

I'm on Instagram to learn about a skill, not share breakfast photos. Everyone I follow on there posts updates related and only related to their work. And now even that place is flooded with "Trump supporters hate blacks" horseshit.

I could go on, but to be honest I'm getting a little tired of it. I've got leaves to rake, and it's clear when people start pointing out my country of birth, and tell me to STFU because I'm not eligible to vote that my opinions aren't actually welcome.

Meh. I didn't say that and don't think that. Marketplace of ideas, man. Honestly I think hearing from folks outside the American politics echo chamber is about the best thing for us all at the moment.

Mr. Trump is going to need money to start his new cable network.

I have had at least a dozen emails a day for the last week from Mr. Trump asking for money.

Then don't snipe and come in with something constructive. My give-a-damn filter is currently busted.

As for voting, I've told you multiple times to fill out the appropriate papers, take your oath and suffer with the rest of us.

I've heard that 50% of donations made towards his legal cases at the moment are likely to be used to pay of his campaign debts.
