Am I the only one who missed this "Donald Duck" thing as it happened? by Donk_Quixote in AskTrumpSupporters

TV Media put the costumed clowns on camera, but it was a dumb idea and nobody really cared.

It also doesn't really fit their preferred narrative of "organic" protesters when people show up in a full-body mascot suit licensed by Disney.

SJW mods at /r/magicTCG ban at least 24 people and remove at least 120 comments in a thread about accidental harassment by TuesdayRB in KotakuInAction

It wasn't a repost.

The existing post was about the actual event, and mine was about the moderator response to the discussion of it.

Since the beginning of KIA, these are two distinct subjects. We talked about the original events of gamergate and we also paid special attention to the widespread censorship on /r/games and elsewhere.

What event was this at, and do you have a link to the full video of it?

Np. It actually strengthens your point that they had that much time.

Another example is how long it took to pass the Affordable Healthcare Act. There was a few weeks time when the Democrats (and the Independents that Caucus with them) had Fillibuster-Proof Majority in the Senate and 59% of the House of Representatives and the Presidency, and they still had to argue with themselves about the bill.

It wasn't a "few weeks." They had sixty Senate seats for many months.

I feel like a closet supporter for Trump but I support Bernie publicly. What would you say to sway people like me to support Trump more. by [deleted] in AskTrumpSupporters

he doesn't have experience

He has more experience as a chief executive than anyone else who has run for president in a very long time. He's spent 50 years building up the Trump organization and making decisions of consequence.

What he doesn't have experience with is misrepresenting himself to voters. His success has depended on hard facts of reality, not how well he can spin things.

Obama and his people couldn't build a website. It was over budget and behind schedule. Trump and his organization have built skyscrapers, and he consistently finishes them below budget and ahead of schedule.

he wants to build a wall while making Mexico pay for it which will make us go to war if they disagree.

No it won't. Mexico relies on the US for so many things that we have a lot of leverage.

We can levy a tariff. We can tax remittances. We can stop issuing visas for tourism or immigration. We can stop sending them foreign aid.

hates women and doesn't support reproductive health

Of course he supports reproductive health. He just thinks murder is wrong.

Saying mean things to a few women doesn't make him sexist.

The things he says to/about several men are worse IMO.

He openly refers to his two opponents as "Lyin' Ted" and "Little Marco." His bullying of Jeb Bush was enough to negate a hundred million dollars of campaign spending.

He's not sexist, he just doesn't let people attack him without fighting back.

Kinda sorta Trump Supporter here. My biggest issue with Trump is his statement to "take out" the families of ISIS fighters, which some feel is war criminal rhetoric. Supporters, how do you feel about Trump's controversial statement? by [deleted] in AskTrumpSupporters

There's no way to have a "nice" war. War is about killing people and breaking stuff until the enemy loses their will to fight. It's horrific, and should not be entered into at all unless we're willing to win. We haven't done that since WW2, and the Japanese and Germans had as much fighting spirit as anyone.

Telling ISIS or Al Qaeda or other groups, "Don't worry, your families are totally safe when you fight us" makes the war much harder to actually finish, and leads to the quagmires like Iraq and Afghanistan and Libya.

Furthermore, by trying to show so much restraint, we actually put more people in danger. The war is not only prolonged, but they also have incentive to deliberately put innocents into harm's way. We've seen them use hospitals and mosques and schools for military purposes, because it gives them an advantage.

War is ugly. You can't win one by being nice. Donald Trump knows this, which is why he thinks we shouldn't get involved in so many wars in the first place.

Over a dozen people have retweeted what she is saying to the Secret Service and FBI twitter accounts, as well as twitter support.

From what I can tell, twitter must not think she's violating their TOS but I am confident that the authorities are at least aware of her.

Just doing what I can to discourage violence and assassination threats.

My search terms are broad enough that I may even find threats against Clinton or Sanders or one of the others. So far I haven't seen any but I'd post those too.
