"What so frightens the conservative movement about Trump's success is that he reveals just how thin the support for their ideas really is. His campaign is a rebuke to their institutions. It says the Republican Party doesn't need all these think tanks, all this supposed policy expertise. It says look at these people calling themselves libertarians and conservatives, the ones in tassel-loafers and bow ties. Have they made you more free? Have their endless policy papers and studies and books conserved anything for you? These people are worthless. They are defunct. You don't need them, and you're better off without them." (link)
There's a level of anger far deeper and more consequential than expressed rage or visible behavior - It is called "Cold Anger"!
Cold Anger does not need to go to violence. For those who carry it, no conversation is needed. You cannot poll or measure it; and even those who carry it avoid discussion; and that decision has nothing whatsoever to do with any form of correctness.
Cold Anger is not hatred, it is far more purposeful. Cold Anger absorbs betrayal silently, often prudently. Cold Anger is not driven to act in spite of itself; it drives a reckoning.
Cold Anger perceives deception the way a long-term battered spouse absorbs the blows in the hours prior to a pre-planned exit; with purpose. Delicate sensibilities are dispatched like a feather in a hurricane.
I also have pics of Bernie and 0bama rallies.
The point is about drawing a crowd, and how meaningful that is. [Hint: it means nothing.]
Yet all of your Trumpbots have jumped to a particular conclusion. Does the shoe fit?
Wonderful.
Sucks to be me? Why, because some brainless cultists are posting some words on an Internet Forum?
What stupid, deluded people say means nothing to me at all. Like your Maximal Leader, you have far too high an opinion of yourselves.
You lose the argument. Automatically.
But I made no comparison whatsoever, you did.
I also posted a picture of a Bernie rally.
I posted a picture of an 0bama rally from 2008, about ten times larger than any rally held by The Donald®. What does it mean? What do these pictures of your darling speaking to large audience actually prove?
Nothing more than that he can draw a crowd. So can a circus.
Every rally looks like the Republican convention! Go Trump!
Oh? Never mind then. I must have imagined it.
Hit dog yelps Freddie. :-)
1. I didn’t invoke Goodwin’s Law and yes I know exactly what it says. I was one of the first to post it here on FR a long time ago..
2. I am not a Trump supporter, the record is clear. Huckabee is my choice.
How many minds do you think you changed by posting an image of a Nazi event? ZERO, that is why you lose.
Your sarcasm is noted, but your failure to produce a citation proving your position is noted as well.
Put some ice on that, Freddy. You sound like Fredo.
Your jealousy and envy of TRUMP, and of our enthusiasm for him, is now clinical .
You would be thrilled too, if only it could be Senator Curse that had this following, these kind of turn outs, and these poll numbers, and were the dead ringer for the nomination.
Hate to abuse Cruz’ name like that, but it’s fair that we give as good as we get from bots for Curse.
Childish isn’t it?
GO TRUMP 2016
Highly unlikely. It's been around since before FR was even on Compuserve, and was posted within a few days of FR's birth.
How many minds do you think you changed by posting an image of a Nazi event?
As I noted, I also posted a picture of Sanders and 0bama rallies. Should I also have posted a picture of a circus? Shamu jumping for fish? A Lingerie League football game? A Greenday concert? The Million Man March?
As for changing hearts and minds, please be serious. Donald Trump could get up in front of 50,000 of his bots tomorrow and call for the unrestricted abortion of babies until the instant of birth and it would not change any of their minds. He has no yesterdays. Tomorrow, he will wake up and be someone new. And his followers will "understand."
You can keep trying to walk it back but no sale.
I point out how the size of a rally says nothing about the quality of the man nor the coherence of his positions and your reply is: "He's really popular."
Thanks for making my point, and thanks for making it in a Trump-consistent way, with the most juvenile reposte imaginable. Although we do agree that your "enthusiasm for Him [you forgot to capitalize the 'H'] is now clinical."
On that we certainly agree.
Trumpbots drew the conclusion. I'm not responsible for the shoes they put on.
“Please don’t post to me unless you have something to say.”
******
LOL! You are a laughing stock suffering from despair and envy, who trolls TRUMP supporter threads to share your melt down in public, and you want me to say nothing?
Are you related to Beck or something. He does those melt downs.
I think I get why you reach first for a picture from a German Nazi rally to express your rage and envy against TRUMP’s fabulous turn outs, while he endlessly smokes the field... and your candidate.
Get the ice, Fredo.
So does a public execution.
As for the rest, not the least bit envious or jealous of this loudmouth or the pathetic band of clowns following him.
And you? You are calling names and laying implications of Nazis in TRUMP rallies, and that is substance? That is “having something to say”?
How about you enjoy yourself on those Cruz threads, even if they are duds, compared to TRUMP support threads, where actually winning is fun.
As for "winning" here's another crass, vulgar, narcissist. He thinks "winning" justifies everything, too:
