Gator, I'd like your serious thoughts about

[dhetiger]

something, especially since you have, in the past, seemingly dismissed the board's take on liberal media outlets. Last night on Bill Maher, a MSNBC contributor named Malcolm Nance called everyone who voted for Trump a racist and a tribalist. Nance, who is black, doubled down on the statement when Maher questioned him. What are your thoughts on this?

Here's mine: this past Tuesday, around 70 million people voiced their support for Trump. That means that a contributor to a major media outlet has labeled 70 million people in an incredibly hateful, and divisive, way. How is this country supposed to move forward if major media outlets are going to let a person like that have such a visible platform to spew that kind of ignorance and stupidity? To me, it could be said that this country has been at war with itself for the last decade, and particularly the last 4 years. Guys like Nance have fueled that. So, now that Biden appears to be the next POTUS, what happens next. In 1865, which might have been the last time the country was this divided, John Wilkes Booth did the single dumbest thing in the history of the US. Had Lincoln not been assassinated, the South's recovery would have been exponentially easier. Who is going to be Lincoln for the US now, sans the gunshot? I ask because with guys like Nance talking, it sure seems like the left has people who actually want to punish Trump supporters.

Sorry for the length of this post.

Good point and question.

It’s called the “Trump Accountability Project”, look it up. The Marxist’s won’t be content with simply winning the WH, they want to “punish” anyone who supported Trump and make an example of them so that no one will EVER try to upset the establishment...yea...what a victory.

So, the Dems views will be one of two ways to handle Trump supporters. On one side you have the Stanton kind of people (Lincoln Cabinet reference again!) who want to make Trumpers pay a price for their support of Orangeman. On the other side, you will have the people who say we should come together as a Country and "heal". Of course, what that actually means is that Trumpers need to get over it and forget about everything the Dems and their media propaganda wing did and said about them the last 4 years. Sounds fair.

Fair enough. There may well be some” I told you so” journalism but it will run it’s course.

What I fear more is the establishment of the “Trump Channel” and establishment of a cult propaganda movement through OAN, Hannity etc who want to form a party.. Trumpsky will not let it go an will capitalize on the “ election theft” to incite rebellion in the tribe.there will be a creation of Trump “Royal Family”

More on this later... stand back and stand by

I'm glad it will run its course. When, though? It's been non-stop for 4 years (actually longer). Does it bother you that your friends are literally being accused of being racists just because they voted for Trump? Serious question.

 

[Reasoned]

Being called “racist” is nothing new and is only verbal slander, it’s the serious consideration of retribution by the left against its political enemies which should have us all pause for concern.

I think the first leads directly to the second. The word is used by the left to incite, and it's working more than ever. It's because of retribution that I'm concerned about being called a racist.

Do you really think that anyone who voted Biden are Socialist? That was the rallying cry for the Cult.
I just got used to the label even though anyone who knows me would say that’s crazy as fvck considering that I’m a fiscally conservative globalist capitalist. Strict trickledown Reaganomics .

Uuuuhhhh....yes. There were actually people who voted for Biden who are socialist. Did you mean "everyone" as opposed to "anyone"? If so, no, I don't believe everyone who voted for him is socialist. What does any of that have to do with the racist stuff? I shouldn't be concerned that there are uneducated/undereducated people out there who are fvcking stupid enough to believe that I'm racist because I voted for Trump? Those rational people carry bullhorns and accost restaurant patrons.

Well given 76% of Democrats in a recent Gallup poll (no conservative friend) said they’d elect a socialist president, then...yeah. In fact, in the same poll Democrats viewed socialism more positively 57% vs capitalism 47%. The Democrat party was wise to have the committed socialist/Marxist on the bottom of the ticket...at least for now.

I dgaf about some idiot calling me a racist. I care about the immense division in this country and people seeking retribution against people who supported Trump.

I think people who voted for Biden are dumb AF...but I hold no ill will against them nor am I looking for retribution. That's freaking nuts.

I'm just concerned about that overwhelming amount of people who are hearing the "they're all racists" crap who are also double digit IQ'd gun toting shitheads.

I'm just glad the black and hispanic vote expanded a great deal under Trump. Now more and more Americans can be labeled racist for no reason. Is this Biden's unity?
