Confessions Of A Closet Trump Supporter
dailycaller.com ^ | 08/27/2015 | CHARLOTTE LAWS

Posted on 08/27/2015 6:43:44 PM PDT by Helicondelta

“Who do you support for President?” I asked my mom and her husband, both lifelong Democrats who live on the East Coast. “Donald Trump” was their answer. “Really?” I replied, almost dropping my “Make America Great Again” hat.

Actually, I don’t own a “Make America Great Again” hat, but I was flabbergasted by their answer, partly because they tossed it out in a casual and gutsy way as if they did not fear repercussions. Weren’t they worried about being called “racist,” “sexist,” “insane,” “stupid,” or (even worse) “Republican”? It was as if they had turned into mini-Trumps themselves: audacious, loud and proud. They were a mere shell of their former selves, blubbering about hope, making America strong, and ending illegal immigration.

I did not argue with Mom and her hubby because, well, I have a confession. I have been a closet Trump supporter for the past two months. Okay. I’ve said it. Additionally, I know other folks hiding in the shadows here in liberal Los Angeles who tiptoe around social media, careful to distance themselves from the “T word” (Trump). We can relate to Ashley Madison users because we, too, fear being “outed.”

I like the way you think.

maybe the 4 or 5 percent lead she has on him is people too embarrassed to say they are voting for him. Of course it should be the other way around.

What I wonder about is what will happen when idiot mayors and governors from places like NY (where I live) defy Federal law when Trump takes over and refuse to enforce immigration law.

I remember being called - or told I was - politically incorrect. My response then was “Cool.” Now I just grin. Still am PiC.

Tag line is cool. It cracks me up. Back then if I said Uncle Sam’s misguided children I’d better be prepared. Now it’s the recruiting trucks.

Why not. The great wall of China is a big tourist attraction and it was built to keep the Mongols out.

That thing over in Asia will become known as “The Mediocre Wall of China!”

Trump doesn’t speak in fractions
With Trump everything that isn’t “fabulous” is “stupid.” Precious little in between.

Of course, Thomas Sowell’s insight about “the cost of knowledge” explains why the rest of us frequently have trouble discerning which category to put a lot of things in . . .

The salient point being, of course that his style of discourse is a wrecking ball for PC.

And, possibly, other things as well. Forgive the comparison, but I am put in mind of something Hayek noted in The Road to Serfdom. He of course famously compared Soviet Communism with National Socialism. But one difference he noted was that the internal logic of the latter drove it to make arbitrary decisions (to a non-NAZI, seemingly gratuitously), and then to lash itself to the mast defending them.

Now that would bear watching . . .

” The salient point being, of course that his style of discourse is a wrecking ball for PC. “ ————

The polls bear that out. Supporters get it. Trump wreaks havoc on Alinsky. What was tacky wordsmithing in the past, may inject Americans with courage again to stand up and roar. God, I hope so.

Our candidates have got to stop playing by the Rules of Radicals, to go along and get along with radicals. There are no rewards for it, it doesn’t work for Republicans and it is not LEADERSHIP. Look at Boehner for the example of what not to do.
