If he's constantly pissing you off then he's fulfilling one of the expectations his base has for him. Making the left go into a frenzy is a feature, not a bug.
Any decent person should be pissed off. Is the lying, hypocrisy, grifting, and corruption a feature as well?

So you're his base now?

About time you came out of the closet.

I don't know how anyone on the left can feign shock or surprise. What did you think was going to happen when you called them stupid or uneducated or deplorable or whatnot for all those years?
I love the false equivalence.

Do you think that Trump gave people any reason, even a tiny teeny one, to think he's deplorable, uneducated and stupid?

Nada?

The left was calling the right fascist, dangerous, stupid, uneducated and whatnot for years before Trump came along. You didn't invent that line but you sure as sht used it a lot around here, long before Trump. It's a little late to rewrite that history now.

As Ann Coulter says of him, Trump just saw a dollar lying on the ground in front of him and picked it up. He saw the anger at street level and he ran with it.

I didn’t read the twatt

but it would be interesting to see twatter review all public servants, or at least those at decision making levels or levels that influence those decisions , who choose to use their platform for accuracies.

You brought it upon yourselves, that was my point.

The right owns science denying, deplorable behavior and bigotry in America.

Trump is just the embodiment and a culmination of everything that's been wrong with this country.

And you wear that badge of honor with pride because it make liblurs cry.

The two sides are not the same and will never be the same.

It's an endless feedback loop.

You criticize Dear Leader, it confirms or reinforces their motivated reasoning, they feel that they're proven right yet again, you criticize Trumby again, the whole cycle repeats.

Any criticism of Dear Leader only emboldens them and reinforces their belief in him.

They are very emotional about Dear Leader, their identity is very entangled with his brand of nihilist contrarianism and they are therefore incapable of criticizing him.

In addition, they feel that any criticism of Dear Leader is a personal attack on them. Just try starting a thread where you criticize Trumby. They get very upset and respond by verbally attacking you. How dare you attack Dear Leader like that.
but isn’t it kind of true that it’s not really about trump?

he is a symbol for all that you hate about America

some of us feel passionately about extra long ties, hot gold diggers and limited vocabulary

Trump is both the symptom and disease, do you feel as passionately about lying, cheating, grifting, and corruption?

If Twitter is going to editorialize content it should cease being considered a hosting platform and be held legally responsible for any and all content that it hosts. Its their business and they can do what they please but there are legal ramifications.

This is actually an interesting point. Craigslist got rid of their hook up section because of the fear of prosecution from people using it prostitution. That could be applied to twitter in a situation where someone commits slander.

It’s a stretch and I wouldn’t want that to happen but....
