The truth hurts. How this board got to the level of crassness it has, I’ll never know. How did we get to this point? There is something significantly different here about this election cycle and it is not good. Where has the healthy skepticism of half the members gone? They will not tolerate any vetting of Trump and attempt to shut down discourse like Liberals. Disturbing.
It is disturbing. It is scary. It is crass.
But it’s what’s goin’ on.
What’s different this election cycle is we have a group that is on an emotional frenzy in support of a candidate, not unlike the support Obama received.
Their fever pitch is, I think, due to having to defend his positions, deflect his political history, and justify their support with only campaign platitudes like “Make America Great Again!” and “He loves America!”. They have only the slogans and the promises from the campaign trail. His actions show a totally different picture.
More than one has admitted, when confronted with his liberal history in such a way that they can no longer deny it, that their support is solely based on his promise to “built the wall”. They literally say “nothing else matters”
Any discussion of his interview comments, whether they be from 15 years ago to last year, his political contribution record or politician support begets allergic reactions with name calling, attacks and insults.
