    The irony. You realize I am just using DJ speak right? I love that you like calling me out for simply mimicing the way he talks.

    It felt like your tone to me, dude. Maybe you should work on your DJ impression.

    Speaking of straw person arguments...

    Must be a tactic on your part, cause there is no way you really believe "conservatives" fit into that tiny little box. What is, in your opinion, a "conservative"?

    Lmao



    Yeah right wing hasn't been anti russia and trickle down economics for the last decades. Maybe not all of them, but in general? Hell yeah.

    No no, you can't do that. You generalized! Conservatives are unique snowflakes, each with their own POV, carefully curated after years of study and gathering information.

    Liberals tho, those guys are all the same. So feel free to generalize them.

    I'm confused... don't you, everyone who seems to lean the same side as you, speak of liberals in a similar manner? You're both pretty homogeneous groups, outside looking in. Now Republicans and Democrats? all over the place.

    Edit: I'd also like to note the republicans/conservatives whatever you identify as, on this forum, are pretty big hypocrites.

    Correction: Lots of big hypocrites on each end/portion of the political spectrum.

    We have now moved onto the "belittle/insult/put downs" part of the Conservative playbook.

    If you're gonna act like a child, I'm gonna talk to you like one.

    That's exactly how I feel about you two right now, actually. I even showed you a mirror to show you how you are acting, and you still didn't get it.

    Well, at least we feel the same way.

    Calls out a "conservative" for being rude, but forgets to criticize anyone closer to his side of the debate that is ALSO being rude. SMH.

    So anyway, has anything he said when he generalized you into that group untrue? Did your mind change or were you never on those sides of the issues when Trump came into play.

    I'm more right leaning than left. You're just full of Bane Shift and it's kind of annoying. Rather have Trump than Hillary that's for sure. Kinda hard to support Hillary being that she literally got off free when if anyone in the military would have done that we would have been hung.

    First, I'd say that I disagree it should have been easy for Democrats to win. I have always said this was the Republicans to lose just based on historical context.

    What concerns me is:
    • We, the public, don't know the extent of the hacks - we know what got leaked
    • Many US intelligence agencies are saying something happened - they might disagree somewhat on who really pulled the strings, but there's been no disagreement that something happened
    • There are potentially numerous ties to Russia, both with Trump himself, his businesses/associations, and his cabinet
    • Trump's reaction to a potential national security breach
    • Trump supporter's reactions to a national security breach
    I feel like, if the context of the situation was different, the right would be very up in arms, instead, they are basically saying the CIA and others don't know what they are doing, or are lying.
