I only have a few issues with Donald Trump (and I may end up voting for him in our state's primaries) but one of them is the fact that his fans seem convinced that mob rule has ever accomplished something positive in all the times it has been tried. It hasn't. What it creates is a culture of ideological purity, where eventually even people like Thomas Sowell are fair game for disagreeing with your views.
With that being said, it is a fact that Donald Trump's legacy is chock-full of terrible, anti-conservative views, and, yes, "deals." It may actually be true that the man has evolved into a Conservative in the last three months. But I will repeat that you are offended by what Dr. Sowell has to say here, the problem is yours not his.
‘One of the great things about FR is that we used to be able to disagree with other FReepers, if not respectfully, at least civilly.’
It goes through phases. A presidential primary can be our toughest time.
‘... but one of them is the fact that his fans seem convinced that mob rule has ever accomplished something positive in all the times it has been tried.’
Boston Tea Party
But actually Trump supporters are not all ‘mob rule’. In fact, Trump doesn’t want mob rule. He spoke out against the Oregon Militia Uprising.
‘... where eventually even people like Thomas Sowell are fair game for disagreeing with your views...’
I called Thomas Sowell out on his goofy, self-sabotaging hit piece. Completely beneath his intellect to write it.
‘With that being said, it is a fact that Donald Trump’s legacy ...’
A rebellion against muslim barbarism in Europe. Nice legacy.
A rebellion by SanFransico voters against the ‘Sanctuary City’ policy. Nice legacy.
As for the Wall and his deals in DC ... no legacy yet.
Hey, he doesn’t even need me to defend him.
