Support NeoGAF

[Drek]

Can we stop making Hitler/Nazi comparisons?

The speech is already ridiculous on its own without the unnecessary hyperbole. Otherwise it just comes off like when Republicans compare Obama to Osama Bin Laden.

He's literally espousing nationalistic fascism. Not just ghosting it or dog whistling a few elements. He is, point by point, checking all the platform planks of neofascism.

It is normally a hyperbolic comparison but in this case it is actually entirely true.

 

[Nokagi]

So what's the record time for one of these convention speeches and is he trying to break it?

 

[Opto]

He's going to forgive my debt?

 

[Intheflorsh]

Fun fact: every "tremendous" is an ad lib

 

[Imperfected]

Yeah, okay, I'll give you the TSA, Trump. Somebody fix that shit.

 

[buttery fistful]

rebuild the depleted military?! what does that even mean?

 

[TheFatOne]

That's actually the mind-boggling thing. You can't just chalk Trump voters up as all being bigots and racists and whatever. There are just too many Trumpers for them to all fit into these marginal groups. This is mainstream, and whether GAF believes it or not, racism isn't ok in the mainstream. So why do these people still vote Trump? Because they can't stand to vote for Hillary.

I'm sorry if this shatters your world view, but racism has been mainstream for a long ass time now. That has been the republican strategy since Nixon. Rile everyone up against the other, and cash in on the votes.

Edit: The only difference now is that Trump isn't even using dog whistles anymore. He's just flat out being racist.

 

[MHWilliams]

There you go

If Hillary was not the other choice, it would be a steam rolling by the Democratic side. Too many people hate Hillary, that hate crosses party lines, like there are Democrats that hate Hillary. It's a problem that's rarely discussed here.

Because the rest of Trump is so bad. Like really, really bad.

Given say, a broken arm or chopping off your legs, which do you go for? I don't want my arm broken, but it's better than the latter. What's happening is people are giving you the sideeye for wanting to lose the legs.

 

[DangerMouse]

Us vs the world.

Scary shit man!

This. This is basically his whole speech, including racism and bigotry points as well as well as his apparent desire to act like dictator.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

*tunes in*

Good lord, he's STILL talking.

He's still yelling, yes.

 

[commedieu]

Their fair share!!!!!!

 

[Velcro Fly]

doubling down on saying fuck NATO

disaster

 

[Movement]

Hey guys, is it just me, or does this guy really repeat himself a lot?

Bo Burnham would be proud.

 

[Hale-XF11]

Depleted military, loooooooooooool

OK then.

 

[mlclmtckr]

The crowd wasn't too sympathetic to the kids with college debt hahahah

 

[mStudios]

He needs to learn how to do a speech.

Feels like he is doing run on sentences lol

 

[Gutek]

THAIR FAIR SHAIR

 

[B-Dubs]

rebuild the depleted military?! what does that even mean?

It means we're going to invade Poland and then France.

 

[LowParry]

Geez, how long has this been going on? People want bedtime.

 

[LyleLanley]

To be fair, TSA does suck. He has my vote.

 

[fallengorn]

So how is the army depleted?

For only the price of a cup of coffee a day, you can help our malnourished army.

 

[Majine]

"Rebuild our depleted army", what!?

Are they not spending more on the army than the next 10 countries combined?

What is this shit?

 

[VendettaRed07]

This makes Romney look like Bernie Sanders in comparison

 

[mreddie]

TSA Agreed
Military, THE FUCK YOU TALKING ABOUT?

 

[Mutanthands]

Where in the hell is all this money going to come from?

 

[Crosseyes]

Yeah Trump. Tell me how you're going to solve my 90 day past due student loan bill.

Like hell you're going to help me.

 

[Xplatformer]

Wait...so they should have built a wall when all those Irish and Italians and Germans were streaming into New York in the early 1900s? I mean, there was a ton of gang related killing going on then.


Yeah...that's it... Irish, Italian and German thugs were bad for this country. Yeah, that's it.

 

[Rebel Leader]

umm... I don't see the 10 point plan in the script

Looks agian

NOPE, I Don't see it

 

[Speely]

So long and thanks for all the fascist.

 

[Opto]

So how is the army depleted?

Record low number of ironclads in the navy, didn't you know

 

[ExplodingKetchup]

It's really interesting how anything he says off-script is just repetition of words and 'believe me!' I really, really want to see him debate Hillary.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

I'm just going to step out of this thread for the night because I really don't feel like typing out a response. That combined with Amirox threading to kill everyone means it's time to go.

Yes the party of fiscal conservatism is no longer what it was and a lot of them hate gay people for god knows what reason but if some of their views line up more with me than the other ill head that way. I end up more libertarian anyway. Every person decides why they vote based on a complex calculus. The vitriol for anyone not voting a way you want them to makes little sense.

FYI I'm not voting for Trump by any means.

Oh, it makes plenty of sense to expel vitriol for a party of hate, greed, fear-mongering, war-mongering, economic disasters, anti-education, and the rest of their policies that throw minorities and the poor under the bus.

It's not complex, you just want to excuse to make it sound like it is.

 

[fr0st]

rebuild the depleted military?! what does that even mean?

We only have 10 aircraft carries man

And we only spend more on the military compared to the next 8 nations. Should be all nations.

 

[Sianos]

"I am THE ONLY ONE who can fix this" "We need to kick THEM out of OUR country" "We will BUILD A WALL"

I'd make a joke about political correctness and Republicans, except calling Trump a facist is actually being correct about politics.

 

[NateDrake]

Are veterans not allowed to see any doctor or something?

 

[DirtyManos]

This speech is exhausting, fuck.

He still keeps going. Just make it short and just say you're gonna do everything for me Trump, it'll be great. Superb.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

The weirdest thing in this thread has been the frankly psychopathic rambling of Amirox dreaming of killing GOP voters/millions of americans

 

[Aarglefarg]

Now imagine this going 4 years overtime.

 

[Ekai]

I really wish Republicans would stop arguing that they care about veterans when they constantly pass laws that make life hard for veterans. Especially for homeless veterans.

 

[Ponn]

BULLSHIT. Every, EVERY politician says they will be the ones to take care of VA's to pander. None of them ever do, even McCain votes down VA bills.

 

[Mimosa97]

He's been talking for more than an hour right ?

WHEN WILL IT END

 

[StoOgE]

Obamacare picked a doctor for me that was 60 miles away. I live near 100 doctors that are closer. I wish that could be fixed

I got a PPO with Obamacare in Austin and can go to whatever doctor I want with a 20% copay and 4k max out of pocket.

 

[BitStyle]

So when are you going to post this 10-point plan, Trump?

Or are you taking a page from the Romney playbook?

 

[Ludovico]

mannn.....

I remember reading people completely discounting Trump this election.
Really hope there's a significant difference in turnout, unbelievable that this much garbage even stands a chance.

 

[Veelk]

Just more Nazi stuff

Well, that's surprising. I did nazi that coming.

 

[Saya]

"yes you will"

lol

 

[R10Neymarfan]

He's been talking for more than an hour right ?

WHEN WILL IT END

I think he likes talking to himself

 

[Xe4]

To be fair, TSA does suck. He has my vote.

Just for that??!?? What? I don't think a single politician doesn't agree the TSA needs reform.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

To be fair, TSA does suck. He has my vote.

Mussolini got those trains running on time.

 

[Azure Dream]

He's going to do it!

"Give me a list!"
"Nope, nothing you can cut."
"Oh, ok."
