... I should know by now that arguing with diehard Trump supporters is largely futile but, if any of you are reading this, I pray you'll take this issue seriously.
Two equally grim prospects can explain your behavior. The first that you know Trump's claim is untrue, but enjoy living in his Reality Distortion Field simply to tweak mainstream America and the news media. You've become inhabitants of a funhouse-mirror version of the liberal culture and media you mock: insular, aggressively contrarian, obsessed with narrative over fact and anger over history.
The second is that you want it to be true so badly that you'll invent an imagined outrage rather than focus on the actual, terrible problem of Islamic radicalism (as we saw this week in California) because that fight is harder, more complex and more painful than the hokey nostrums of Trump's "plan" to fight ISIS. ("Take duh oil! Bomb da s*** outta dem!" "Muslim database!")
Playing out Donald Trump's lies doesn't mean you're fighting some political correct media trope about Muslims or that you're teaching the press a lesson. It doesn't mean you're confronting radical Islam. It doesn't mean you're bravely revealing a media cover-up. It doesn't mean that you're going to teach the Republican establishment a lesson.
All it means is you're part of the profoundly recursive Trump dynamic; he feeds your fears, prejudices, and atavistic desires for revenge against your catalog of demons, be they Muslims, Mexicans, or Republicans who fail to kneel before the Donald. You feed his monstrous, boundless ego and like the master con artist he is, he shovels you a fresh line of easily-digested outrage and boob-bait rhetoric ...

Another day, another insult to my intelligence.
“Hardcore Hater”?
Only teenagers use vapid language like that.
Rick Wilson is scum.
This guy is SOOOOO yesterday news. He’s a “Republican consultant” to whom nobody still listens. He tried to wage war on Trump and has failed. He’s resorting now to name-calling and insults.
RICK WILSON IS OBSOLETE.
I don’t see anywhere where this amateur screed-monger explains how Trump’s stance is an insult to the 9/11 victims. I refuse to click on the Daily Yeast Infection to read further.
Rick, STFU!
We all know better...Wilson is an idiot.

We have adapted to reality. We don’t let other people pick our candidate anymore....like Progs have done for over 20 years.
He found me out. I am, indeed, profoundly recursive.
Knuckle draggers unite!
So Rick Wilson is a RINOcrat I see. All these establishment people are worse than liberal Democrats. At least a liberal Democrat is honest in his hatred for conservatives. A RINOcrat is a two faced, backstabbing closet Democrat who has infiltrated the Republican Party. Have no respect for any of them.
I’m an English teacher and I can not make logical sense out of this piece
Recursive? What’s that?
Trump feeds fears?
If I go to my local supermarket tonight, Sunday, I will be on a long line behind hundreds of EBT using Mexicans who do not speak English and who pretend they cannot read the number 15 as in 15 items or less
The shopkeepers and the cashiers do not enforce rules and the managers all over this town employ only people who speak Spanish. English and Spanish is a plus but only English is not going to happen
Unless it’s specialized and they can’t find a Spanish speaker for the job
But veteran status and educated is no guarantee Spanish speaking is the only key to job security here
Perhaps Rick Wilson thinks that it’s fine for everyone to just be dependent on government. But that is not why I worked to get two degrees.
The real fear is unemployment and being pushed out by Mexicans
Another is getting blown up by a former clock boy / White House guest
Another is getting sued for turning in a clock boy
Another is my kids and their peers having to pay back 20 trillion dollars just off the bat.
Another is how to pay for their college when white kids don’t get scholarships
Another is Hilary getting into the White House
Another is that half the country is ok with Hilary getting into the White House
I could go all day
[Recursive? What*s that?]
Near as I can figure out, it’s someone who has problems reading cursive.
What a pig Rick Wilson is.
Gezuz...The Obama government is importing mass murdering Muslim terrorists into our declining country and then threatens to prosecute anyone saying anything derogatory about Muslims?
But were supposed to believe somehow Trump is the bad guy hater? These SOB’s are going to be jack-hammered come election time.
Dude...
As you are about to find out...
We ARE mainstream America.
Poor little, Ricky.
Whaaa, Whaaa, Whaaa!!!
I think I can, I think I can,
But, alas, I’m not a man.
