Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) said Monday on CNN’s “The Lead” that she will beat former President Donald Trump for the party nomination.
Anchor Jake Tapper said, “So obviously you’re running in South Carolina and you’ve told me that you plan to be around well obviously you want to be the nominee and then the president, but, but you’re going to be around at least until super Tuesday. If the unthinkable happens in your view and you do not win will it be difficult to Support Trump as the Republican Party’s nominee, given what you think about him quite obviously.”

You were supporting another poster who likened Trump supporters to a Cult. And you made the comment that some of these people were sure to come and attack him.
My issue isn’t about politics. This isn’t attacking someone who dislikes me or my opinions. This isn’t about someone calling me petty names or throwing petty insults my way. This IS about harassment by likening Trump supporters to cultists. That is the same as likening us to Waco, Jim Jones or The Manson Family.
This is school yard bully tactics taking place where mature discussion and respect for others is to be the rule not the exception. Your post spoke for itself. Look, Trump is my guy. I adore and support the man because he governed on America First in his Presidency and he is running on it now.
You don’t have to agree like or approve. Others can think I’m an idiot, call me a jerk have heated debates. But it crosses the line when someone attempts to denigrate, disparage, and ruin someone’s character. When you liken someone to a cult member then come back with a passive aggressive defense for the attack, then that tells me the poster KNEW exactly what they did to begin with. If harassment like this goes unchallenged, then it will only get worse!
It was better in Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s original version:
“I will beat your ass like a Cherokee drum.”
Nikki is an Indian from the Carolinas so she could get away with it (like Liz Warren).
I simply said one of the people that supports Trump the way you do would be a long shortly. And you did not disappoint.
99% of the leftists who hate Trump are either communist, Soros stooges, America haters, or all of the above.
That you seem to be unconcerned about that says more about you than anyone on this forum, including those you call cultists.
Exactly.
They need to tuck tail and run back to their NT/TDS forums ... DS Dump and GOPe ones.

Yet ... you posted ...

Not sure who you are replying to but I didn’t say any of that.

So, which is it? You didn’t say that...or, you’re actually accusing a FReeper of ‘doing exactly what you said they would’??
Can’t have it both ways.
Why would anyone, here, play gotcha when it comes to a choice between Pres Trump and Deep State Tricky Nikki/Commies, or, want to call a FReeper a cultist, for supporting PDJT??
Perhaps you’re also on the wrong forum.
The left is over there. Go argue with them
You are a only trumper. I am a anyone but the commie/rino. Not sure how that gave you the idea I would support tricky Nikki.
Now I will let you get the last word. Because that is the only way you’ll allow this to end.
Ha! TDS is a terrible affliction.
You busted your own backside, with your Romneyesque, two-faced replies....and, I proved/called you out, on it. To which you attempted to deflect from, of course.
That’s the last word, alright. 😂
In your view its acceptable to label a group of people you disagree with cultists and then mock those same people when they fight back. That is what the few comments you have directed at me on this thread has heavily implied. The simple difference is that you don’t use the word “cultist” .
It appears that fighting back at undeserved, uncalled for hatred is to you worthy of mockery. Additionally, the site owner was eventually tagged to the harassment, but it wasn’t by me. So your theory of One Trump supporter showing up is off as well. You can read the thread for yourself to see this.
We don’t have to like each other or approve of each others politics. However, calling or referring to Trump supporters as cultists is destructive and is meant to personally tear down and harm the character of the individual or individuals. The owner of this site I believe feels the same way.
But it happens all the time. By EverTrumpers. It’s been going on for years now, and they are allowed to continue. Usually one-liner quips insulting the poster.
Sorry, I understand the “we have rules” (which aren’t followed as above) and “private” stuff, but I’d think publicly spouting off as Trump does is worse than writing to single people on a forum with limited publicity, usually a reaction to their insults. Sometimes simply putting an opinion of Trump is enough to start this rabid reaction.
Your logic is faulty.
Of course Dems hate Trump.
But despising Trump does NOT make me or any given person a leftist. That is a logical fallacy. It does not follow that if one doesn’t like Trump, one is a leftist.
Which, BTW, with no other evidence, is basically libel.

Answered 1 down from you.
See, I am not a 1s and 0s person. I’ll always vote for the R regardless, because it imparts some advantages. I do not take my ball and go home and NOT vote, as so many stated if it wasn’t Trump who is the nominee.
I’ve been consistent, too. Posting history you will see ultimately I will hold my nose and vote for Trump.
Thx for pinging me to your answer, on another post, to my question.
Good to know you won’t let your severe TDS keep you from voting for Pres Trump....or, so you say. We’ll just have to take your word, on that.
We’ll keep a tin of bumhurt salve on the ready, for you, if you decide to keep posting here, rather than DUmp or RINOWORLD forums.
Now....what will be truly interesting, will be to see what the DS NimRATa backers/commies have planned to try to keep PDJT from either running, or, WINNING, AGAIN. Surely, you won’t support any nefarious actions, to do such a thing as that, correct?
You’re just as upset as the majority of the Republican/conservative base, about the stolen 2020 election, and, all of the absurd lawfare being thrown at Pres Trump, too, correct?
It’s mostly a warning. It may not be you, but many seem to have this total awe of the man, who laps it up, I might add.
Sometimes when it cuts too close to home, the reaction is “telling”. When you’re over the target, you get the flak.
What I see of behavior with this man is not healthy. He is treated like some kind of god. So indeed, the truth may hurt, but please don’t pin so much devotion on this man. He isn’t even worthy of it. Despite some declarations, he is no Washington, not even a Reagan. But I haven’t even seen the total he-can-do-no-wrong gushing and backlash defense as I’ve seen for Trump.
Again, it’s not healthy.
If you can take criticism of the man, and you can even call out some of his faults, then fine. But too much here, there is undying devotion, which is dangerous.
And now is not the example. Go back a few years and see how the threads go.
I’m not convinced there was fraud.
One of my constant points is that too many cannot believe there are that many real communist fascists out there. It’s like “I can’t hear you I can’t hear you”. Denial that half this country are socialistic traitors.
There are. I live amongst them. They hate America and they will do anything to keep any “R” out of office.
Their numbers are GREAT. It is COMPLETELY POSSIBLE so many commie Dems voted for idiot Joe.
We need to stop being in denial.
YOUR NEIGHBORS are the communists. It is NOT just politicians who are these fascists. How do you think these people get in office? THEY ARE VOTED IN ALMOST ALWAYS BY MAJORITY.
The enemy is amongst us, everywhere. They reside next to me, they work with me, they are the police, they are the teachers, they are the doctors.
Stop focusing on just the politicians, and realize yes, there ARE that many traitors out there. They know what they are doing, because they love socialism.
We have been splitting hairs since 2000. Back then with that election debacle, where again Bush only won the electoral, like Trump - I was really concerned about civil war erupting. Now much moreso.
Meanwhile, yes, I do not like Trump and don’t think he is such a conservative, either (flip flop throughout his life). I watched his show and know what kind of friends he made. I think he is such a jerk openly, that it makes it easy to hate him and thus, motivates these traitors to vote for a nursing-home patient. I honestly could not believe it, but I think it’s true.
But thank you for letting me have a reasonable discussion. I appreciate that!
I should state I totally think Dems can cheat.
That mail-it-in balloting was yet another straw.
I was aghast a decade ago when MD started having “early voting”. Talk about dead people getting to vote! Who voted in October, then died Nov 1? Why should they get a vote?
At the very least, all this makes it easier to cheat. It needs to be repealed that all this type of banana-republic voting can happen.
Yes. I do see the faults. You make some valid points. My issue is two fold:
1. I’m an America First Independent voter. I don’t like the GOP. I don’t like Rino elites and that party is filled with them. I adore Trump because he’s never stabbed me in the back (like Mitch McConnell in the Senate for example). Trump, despite his personal faults, governed on an America First agenda and the benefits were great! He is running on that same platform and, until he betrays me, he has earned my respect and my vote. Moreover, his personality faults are no worse than many in the GOP or many on the Dem side.
2. I don’t mind the heated debates, especially when at the end two people may in fact be able to form some kind of mutual respect even if they can never agree. What I can’t let go is what I perceive to be hatred. I’m of the opinion that if I ignore it, things will only get worse, quickly.
So yeah we can certainly agree to disagree. We can even find common ground. But I don’t deserve nor anyone I know, the mockery or insult of someone stamping us with the label of a cultist. That to me crosses the line and screams images of Waco. Ok. Enough. Hope your evening is lovely.
Thank you, navymom.
I do get carried away sometimes. It’s basically “sick of all the same blah blah and same arguments”. Which is why I should go to a liberal place where I can get banned right away.
Or, better yet, I should stop this “social media” thing altogether.
You know, I’ve been banned from NextDoor (real, live actual neighbors) and from Maryland reddit. Latter, on the first day - why? Because I dared chime in about the truckers in DC and it didn’t fit their insulting and threatening narrative about “giving them the finger” and how “threatening” and “disruptive” they were (where were you when endless riots went on?).
Again, though, I am pretty serious about the “cult” thing. It concerns me that there is too much “love”. Sometimes, one just has to state it. Just conjecture, perhaps, but then, lots of people have “addiction” problems. It’s not about insulting, it’s about warning. Call it out and maybe someone will listen and take a step back.
I hear you and would encourage you to keep on, let your voice be heard.
Ok here is what I think. And its just my opinion. Trump gets the love because he made promises and kept them. Compare that to the promise after promise made by say. For example Lindsey Graham and his promises on hearings etc. People can only take so much then along comes a guy who isn’t “typy” doesn’t conform, ways what you think out loud. He has got his faults sure but man oh man is he a breath of fresh air. He gets to office and in spite of all the obdpstacles, keeps his promises and builds a country that thrives. In 2020 to add insult to injury the election was stolen (Yes, I believe that from testimony and evidence given). Today he is being persecuted with lawfare. All this did was increase his popularity and bring in lots for new voters.
I truly have issue with rank and file members of the GOP who absolutely sit on their backsides doing nothing to fix the corruption in the GOP but spend all their social media time trashing Trump. For me its remove the log from your eye first....
Anyway, it is nice to visit with you.
is there any other kind?
Yes Elsie, there is!
When we were teenagers it was called an A$$ Lobotomy... you got that when someone really "kicked your A$$!"
