Trump was in the national spotlight for decades.. Not one peep about being a racist/supremist/etc. He runs for president and beats Hillary and the butt hurting hasn't stopped since.. Everything he says there's some liberal that starts yelling about "what he really meant".. Gotta stop watching so much MSNBC..
The world isn't just "left vs right" bud. I've seen lots of people, not politically affiliated at all be critical of Trump. Racist, sexist, whatever the reason. For me, as a Canadian who does not vote by the way, but if I would it would probably switch because all politicians are full of bullshit and lie to you to get voted. Which is all they care about. The fact that politics has turned into a reality TV celebrity contest (and was the case long before Trump) is a joke to me. Always will be. It's a community liason position, nothing more nothing less. A figurehead that really has very little actual responsibilities that don't involve hordes of other individuals. Much of the political system in a lot of countries including in the West are heaps of propaganda all meant to fuel a machine that none of the politicans care about. They care about instead the consequences of making the positions such "celebrity" type affairs. $$$. Bigger paychecks, bigger ability to sell books memoirs, whatever else. It's garbage.
Most "woke" I use that mostly jokingly though get that. It isn't "libtards vs god lovers". If your still on that battle then bots and fake news and the list goes on is still all you see. Forget just reading MSNBC. Or CNN or just Fox news. The idea that there "one true source" for a news media that has turned into "opinion" hour that constantly twists facts to push agendas (on all sides, all sides do this, your side does it just as much as the lefts) is exactly why none of it can be trusted. For the real people looking for real truths and facts all we are left with is spending copious amounts of hours hearing accounts for every god damn side of the story, the middle side included, and then piecing what we can about actual facts from there and coming to our own conclusions in private. Because real people like you no longer allow actual debate. You just turn everything into the "libtard vs god loving" left vs right ad hominem garbage.
Nobody should really be offended by DSP not going though. It's a peaceful right not to visit the President. Your patriotism is WAY too deep if this is the type of thing that makes your hair stand on end. It's crazy to you to think that in a world of 8 fucking billion people that some may not like the president of your Country? A country I remind you that is only one of HUNDREDS on the planet. I'm not going to try and spoil the good mood in here but I see a lot of "Americanism" in here that sometimes bugs me. Proudly display what you want, I don't care. But don't shit on others because we have a difference of opinion. We aren't telling you we are better than you, no reason you need to come be doing that back.
Trump is the type of person who does that. It's why it rubs people the wrong way. By the by I always treated Trump like a joke, well before he was elected as a President to the country I wasn't in. No different than I treat Kardashian as a joke, the cast of the jersey shore as a joke the list goes on. I could give a shit if it's democrat or republician, liberal or conservative, if your a joke your a joke. If your a reality TV star pretending to be president, your a reality TV star pretending to be president. Liberal ass George Clooney would be just as much of a joke, so it isn't about sides.
Ultimately though I'd agree with Maacoo, too many people are looking for topics like this to trigger people or let out frustrations they have. It's why generalizations happen so fast, because when you see something that bugs you in the world you instantly apply it to the first thing you can to unleash on it. The "it really grinds my gears" phenomen. At the end of the day, real people know that real policy is what counts when it comes to politics. And real policy? I've seen great policy enacted by both liberal and conservative governments, and sometimes a combination of both. It's never "I enacted this one extreme thing that the entire of my base LOVED and it totally worked for everyone." That never happens. Never. But if the extreme left and the extreme right want to continue to think extreme fascism or extreme socialism are the keys to success, I'd easily suggest them to pick up a fucking history book. IT DOESN'T WORK. Ideals and morals don't make for effective politics, LOGIC AND PRACTICALITY DOES.
Devise rant done.
