I'd like to say something about the supposed 30-some per cent of Americans who say that

[Atticus]

the Mueller report "clears" Trump of any wrongdoing. You are either 1.) lying through your damn teeth; 2.) too stupid to understand the clear language of the report; or, 3.) you haven't read the report and you are spinelessly parroting what you've heard from Trump, Hannity and Rush.

I view you as just as serious a threat to my nation as the Russians who hacked our election, the traitors who facilitated the hacks and the political hacks who weaponized and used the stolen data to put Trump in the White House. Should you be foolish enough to start a conversation featuring your morally bankrupt defense of YOUR *president, know that I will be in your face and I will be loud. If you don't have enough sense to be embarrassed by the psychopath you helped elect, I will publicly embarrass you for either your stupidity or your cupidity.(Look it up.)

1. Well said!

[LonePirate]

2. They are party loyalists due to racism, greed, religion or power. Facts have no sway with them.

[NYMinute]

3. The republicans have gutted our education system

Remember that story when 2/3rd of Americans between 18 and 24 couldn't find Iraq on a map during the Iraq war?

4. I'll take door #3...

In any public debate or issue there are those who will attach themselves to one side or the other and believe as articles of faith.

It is faith, and no arguments, rational or otherwise, will change their minds, just as no argument set their minds to begin with. Their thinking is emotional, not rational. "Non-rational" probably best describes it, just as religion is. Or love, or hate, or any of the other myriad things and coping mechanisms we deal with every day.

And, don't kid yourselves, our side has such people, too. Just doesn't seem as many as the other side.

5. It's #3. They honestly only "know" what they've been told. n/t

[Hoyt]

6. Most just don't care. Many trump supporters say they don't care how he was elected,

they are just glad to have a racist white winger in office.

7. I would like to offer an additional motive

I think it is his anger they respond to. They are bitter, angry people and they feel that by supporting Trump they are putting one over us libtards. Getting back at us, for whatever reason.

8. About that 30 percent...and this is VERY IMPORTANT....iF...

that 30 percent all votes....and our 60 percent does not all vote..say 75 percent of those who are against them vote and on our side................then that ...30 percent becomes 40 percent..and depending on how many opposed to them don't vote, it could become more.....

So, if you have friends who are fence sitters, and do not know, maybe they will come to our side. Quietly tell them what is at stake. Everyone sees the evil of Trump..these "not so sures" really are on our side, but need a little support. These people must come out and vote on our side...
... No yelling, no obvious hatred to Trump....just intelligent and sensible support of our side..

....When it comes time to vote in November 2020..sound reasoning may, peal them off of the fence and come to us. We must have as many as we can get, since the Russians will try their game again.

9. Are Americans the laziest, don't -give -a -damn people on earth or what is their problem?

[malaise]

10. You are assuming that any of Trump, Hannity and Rush

read it

[Atticus]

12. You post this your first day on the board? Enjoy your stay. nt
