Gasbag about current events, other stuff and whatever. Try to focus on the arguments, not the person.

"If you're stupid enough to vote for Trump because someone on an anoymous blog hurt your fee-fees you deserve Trump. Moron."

You kids still don't get it. It's not just about this blog, the behavior I'm referring to has been all across social medium platforms, cable news, and even IRL. When you make vicious attacks against people over trivial stuff, call them the N-word and accuse them of being 'Trumpers', you make his critics look like deranged weirdos as much his actual supporters.

Attack the independents. Attack anyone who has a viewpoint (political or otherwise) different from your own. It's no wonder a creature like Trump was able to steamroll you all, not once but twice.

"Oh yea, I'm not a worthless Trump supporter."

Whether you realize it or not, when you feed the Troll and his minions, you become a supporter.

"If one is that easily aggrieved, they were probably voting for Trump anyway since he's the king of faux victim complexes."

This is ironic coming from you, since I've seen you call out the far left sometimes for their obnoxiousness and things you know turn off moderate and independent voters. If you think it doesn't play any role in moving the needle, whether it was getting some would-be Harris voters to stay home, or motivating Trump-leaning voters to not stay home, you're lying to yourself.

All the turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing are gone.

So, the wife will be cooking one of my favorites, "Cincinnati Chili". Use it like a spaghetti sauce, topped with shredded cheese and diced onions.

#4 I call it like I see it for both sides.

And the biggest driver of MAGA is their resentment and faux grievance complex. I don't care if it "drives them to vote," I call it like I see it.

I vacuum sealed the rest of our turkey stuff. Now we move on to the annual veg/beef soup from scratch this evening. Carrots, turnips, rutabagas, potatoes, corn peas carrots, snap beans, baby limas and okra. Beef shanks for the win.

'I don't care if it "drives them to vote," I call it the way I see it'

Think about what you just said here.

You've been joining in on the same behavior that you yourself have called out as counterproductive.

Clearly, when you're lucid, you do care whether it drives people to vote (or not vote).

I haven't celebrated Thanksgiving in a while. I remember once in a different country we celebrated it with a whole goat that was cooked underground.

Were you celebrating the USA holiday, or did the country you were visiting have a similar holiday?

You're missing what is a key differentiation in my mind- they're already gone.

The spade is already a spade and, as such, already has enough victim complex that they're not gonna listen anyway.

The common thread through my criticisms of the left and their behaviors is that it's almost always turning off voters looking for a place to land.

Looking at the vote stats, MAGA didn't grow by much. It remains an unattractive, toxic option for the majority of the population and is largely an insulted bubble of misinformation and misery. Again, my calling them out for that sit going to affect where they already are.

For an unfortunately large number of voters, they looked at both options and thought it best to stay home.

You remind me of the obnoxious guy everyone walks away from in high school because they were an obnoxious, spastic moron who at the reunions gets the same treatment because even decades later they still think wet Willie's are "funny."

If anyone had told me that the Cowboys would have the same record as the Niners at this point in the season... I would have been happy.

If anyone had told me that Texas would have a revenge game for the Conference Championship against GA... I would also have been happy.

This moron isn't even going to take into account the frivolous trials and lawsuits Trump had to face through the entire campaign. What modern president had heaped on his candidacy? The FBI raided his home and made a fkking spectacle of it while Joe Biden had done the same ---- for many years. But you better buckle up, buttercup. Because your party just laid down the SOP for everyone else from now on.

idk, both are playing really poorly, ground rumblings they need to remove Shannan. Crazy talk.

But at least the 49ers didn't build their stadium to blind players.

This is true, but everywhere the MAGAts saw growth. Only place that changed more to blue was ... Utah.

He did it by attacking democrats. Calling immigrants rapists and criminals. Attacking liberals. Labeling everything communism or socialism. Attacking teachers, public libraries, universities, the military, Muslims.

You're not believable because you're clearly a trumper.

In order to support Trump you have to ignore reality.

- you've got zero credibility.

And it's not just his politics of hate... he's been here for over a decade, and last night he couldn't figure out why his thread about the pardon had 45 posts but, "still wasn't on the Front Page!".

You'd think that after all that time it would have at some point dawned on him that that's not how thread promotion werks around here.

"Were you celebrating the USA holiday, or did the country you were visiting have a similar holiday?"

We were celebrating the North American holiday. The fully cooked goat thing was a local ethnic custom. But it was arranged in a way that it looked like a giant cooked turkey and wheeled out to us before they cut it up and made into various dishes.

The problem is you lump a huge swathe of people across a wide spectrum in with the most extreme partisan trolls, like the one you were responding to there. It seems you're addicted to "playing" with those trolls and getting dirty with them. And they with you, too.

A woman from Wisconsin went to the hospital to deliver twins. There were complications and she fell into a coma. A awoke a week later to find out the twins had to be named and the only relative available was her dimwit brother. "What is my daughter's name," she asked. She was told Denice. That's nice she thought. "What about my son?" Denephew.
