I wouldn’t define his base how you do - I would define his base as those who support Trump and what he does, without a critical eye. Those that support the person over the policies and platform. I wouldn’t consider anyone on this board, despite the very regular defenses of the man, part of his base.

We are all friends here -- tell us what the bolded *really* means to you? Let me get this started with what I think you probably mean with some first letters,

Can I buy an "I"?

How about a "G"?

Is there an "N"?

Literally you two, stop pussyfooting around the 'safe words'.

The funny thing is that we have an instance here that Trump may have actually jumped the boat into what has been charged incessantly.

But in the case of this board, has put in the inclusion of "Trump supporters will lap this up" (of course a paraphrase, so we dont go down the incessant 'thats NOT what I said' merry-go-round --- or bounce house as the case may be).

This tends to shine a light on what could be viewed as hard a level of bigotry from our left leaning friends to (eeeekkkk!!!) Trump supporters! (scream!!!!) (thunder!!!) as Trump may have just exhibited in a Tweet.

But in order to go full-monty and blast Trump for potentially saying "go back to mexico, Paco" (which is a possibility, mind), to jump full bore into that they would have to fully expose their utter contempt for the so-called 'deplorables'. This is a really funny overreach when you think about it.

And like Trump's tweet, it was a comment that really didnt have to be put out there, no need to even put on that add-on in the slightest. Yet, there it was in all its glory.... This is amazingly rich on so many levels.

How are you and OO unable to understand what that phrase means? It’s not very difficult, to understand.

What it really means are those who are unable to be critical of him - who support everything he does and says. There is no hidden meaning. The reason I don’t consider anyone on this board his base is because everyone here has actually been critical of things he has done or said at some point.

His base though, they’re the ones that wear the “F*** Your Feelings” shirts, cheer him on when he makes fun of a disable reporter, and so on. And they’re his base because they’re unable to look at the problematic things he does and actually say they’re problematic.

You seem to want to pick a fight over this - why?

Perhaps because you go out of your way to use little cute catch phrases to describe trump supporters ("without a critical eye", etc) without ever stating what is actually evident from your overall tone, and you think you can dance your way around here.

I think I know a word for that. It's 'conde-' something. Condestanding I think. I mean, I have a reading problem and all that, so sometimes it is hard for me.

By the way, you do see just a tad of of a difference between "most of them are deplorables" and "Trump 2020 - **** Your Feelings"? If that is the best you can do about how 'terrible' liberals are treated by trumpists, I suggest you actually break those down word by word followed by some *serious* introspection. But hey, I shouldnt be saying this with my 'reading problem' and all that.

Honestly I told a group of about 15 people that very same message (i.e **** your feelings) over the weekend in a financial restructure/workout. I guess that is a *horrendous* thing to say. Lucky we have you sitting around to school us that that is equivalent to calling someone an ignorant inbred. Never knew that.

Lolz --- "**** your feelings" is the *same* thing as saying 'bunch of ignorant cornpones'...... That is worth an extra lolz....

I'll ask you what I asked Owl#s - do you think there is a base of Trump supporters that don't care what Trump says or does and will support him no matter what?

There definitely is --- much as there are a base of Sanders/Harris/pick your poison supporters that dont give a flying fk about the effects of socialism and welfare for all, and will support (him/her/xim) no matter what.

Any following has a group of adherents who believe 'no matter what'. Just ask relatives of the People's Temple, or those of Heaven's Gate.

You still never address your condescending attitude toward that group you 'wave your hand at' and sneeringly dismiss as 'Trump supporters', even with what I just pointed out.
