People should be allowed to give their opinion. Here on GAF these people (Trumpfans) stay silent. That's a bad thing for a free country as the USA.

Oh, but they're allowed to. Nobody gonna stop them.

They just have to give good reasons for why they support an asshole such as Trump and why they tolerate all the crap he says. We're still waiting for decent reasons I think. "Crooked Hillary" or "At least he speaks his mind" are not valid reasons.

Whoever you support, I find it sad that being political incorrect on GAF is a sin. We need people who say what they think, instead of the usual boring PR crap.

Bemoaning political correctness tends to come from people who wish they could use slurs at every corner and then get upset when other people don't take too kindly to it.

Good thing you're a middle-schooler and not eligible to vote.
 
Turkey is absolutely in a position to handle Isis all on their own. Trump is right. Didn't they just stop a hostile invasion this weekend or some shit? Their military is just in the best shape. The very best shape imaginable.

Sorry to dissapoint you but I am neither for Crooked Hillary or Trump. Just interested in the situation.

If people won't share their opinion on Trump because they think they're going to get shouted at shouldn't that tell you something? Like maybe their opinion is shit and isn't worth respect?

Nobody's stopping people from saying they support Trump but you damn sure better be prepared to defend yourself. When you're bedfellows with racists and white nationalists you should probably expect some scrutiny.

I remember when Trump announced his candidacy and did some interviews here and there and GAF were loving it. Now, there doesn't seem to be a single person here who dares to admit he or she will support Trump. However, in the polls he is head to head with Hillary. Whoever you support, I find it sad that being political incorrect on GAF is a sin. We need people who say what they think, instead of the usual boring PR crap.

You know, the term "politically correct" is, in itself, a politically correct euphemism. If you dislike political correctness so much, maybe you should take a run at this post again and replace "politically incorrect" with what you really mean.
 
Ok, I somehow managed to watch the whole thing.

What a fucking trainwreck. I feel dumber for having listened to his drivel. This is a man who has no clue about anything, he's a huckster of the highest order.

And Mike Pence came across like a complete puppet.

Just embarrassing in all regards.

See your point for sure. I am from Holland. Maybe my view is simplistic and no I don't see Jews as a race. Just a bunch of folks who believe in something.
Click to expand...

Then all those Jews who got killed in the Holocaust must have been asked if they believed in Judaism, right? So they could hop a train out of the camps if they were an atheist Jew? Oh that's right, according to you, there ARE NO atheist Jews.

Keep talking. I think I know where this is going.
 
Racism is terrible and should never be tolerated. I wouldn't vote for either Trump or Hillary because they both seem very much unfit for the role of POTUS.

Can we get an apology for referring to yellow people as a race?

I could have said "Asian people". If you consider that an apology, we're done here.

People are free to air their opinions and free to be ridiculed for them.

No, I don't because you didn't and you really don't seem to think there is anything wrong with it.

I'm honestly starting to wonder at this point if Donald Trump is just an elaborate persona started up by a burgeoning comedian who's taken ended up taking the whole thing too far.

I mean....

[humble]

This has to be the work of a comedy writer.

If he had just smiled afterward, or made some indication it was a joke, it would've been "Hah, that was actually clever, Trump." But no, it was just him defensively bragging. About being humble.

Yes you are.
 
I am surprised how much bullshit she let them get away with, to be honest. No questions about The Wall either, and that certainly would have been something to hammer Pence on.

Most of the damage here seems self-inflicted. Hilarious to hear him brag about how humble he is......then go on to vehemently deny any sense of humility in the face of the problems of the modern world.

The whole reason she didn't go in harder is because she didn't need to. They were more than happy to use any rope given to hang themselves in new and creative ways. The best way to take someone down is to just let them do themselves in, you just walk them over to the cliff and coax them into jumping off it. When done right, this is what you get.
 
I would love to see these two do another joint interview with Anderson Cooper, but that's probably the last time we will see those two together for a long time

I know that you were already banned, but in case you are still reading this thread, here's the facts:

- Trump support in and of itself isn't banned here.

- Just as someone has the right to express their opinion, someone else has the right to respond to an opinion, including criticizing it.

- Trump supporters who have been banned were banned not simply for supporting Trump, but for being intellectually dishonest and many times outright bigoted.

- Using the "free speech" argument makes you look like an ass who is ironically asking others not to express their criticism.

- Complaining about people being "too sensitive" or "too PC" also makes you look like an ass, because let's face it, you wouldn't like being talked to/about in an "unPC" way. You wouldn't appreciate it if I told you that you are a dying breed. You wouldn't appreciate it if I said your parents are inbred trash and said that I came to that conclusion because I knew that only such trash would raise a child like yourself. Sensitivity goes in all directions.

She didn't even do any coaxing though. Dude ran full steam right off that cliff and was still talking on the way down while Pence sorta walked off while saying "This is fine."

The mind boggles.

Well, it's usually harder to do than this. 60 Minutes has a good history of doing this sort of thing though.
 
BBC took a look at Trump supporters just today

Why is America so angry?

"You've got to have a boundary if you're going to have a country," said Mr Rogers. "What they should do is they should shoot them as they get to the top and if they fall over on the Mexican side then we're in the clear," said Mr Roger's son, Alex.

Bakersfield has a long history of racial tension. In Oildale, where Ms Kent lives, you were not welcome after dark when Mr Rogers was a youth, unless you were white. "No blacks across that bridge after dark," said Mr Rogers. He and his friends used to throw things at black people to hound them out.

"Muslims... have a certain look, and I just feel like, OK, I don't like that person,' you know," he told me. "If we save one person's life, [an] American's life, it's worth stopping everybody from coming in."

"Everybody's been laid off," said Shari Kent, who was selling her possessions to try to make money. "People have got to eat," she added. Bakersfield is dotted with oil rigs, stretching as far as the eye can see. Many are idle. The global collapse in oil prices has hit this oil town hard. Ms Kent has had her hours cut at the local grocer's shop because there are now so few customers.

I never actually connected the dots that a large amount of Trump supporters would in fact be banned on GAF just by repeating his sound bites, because they are racist/prejudice quotes and that isn't tolerated here.

Making NeoGAF great again?

And here I had thought that Trump quickly backpedaled from his torture-is-good rhetoric, and now he just doubled down on it.

This man is a nightmare. But at least I can be glad he's speaking so blatantly on the topic rather than relying upon knowing hints or evasions like Pence's crafted response.
 
The people mocking Trump's "unbelievable intelligence" line just don't get it.

If your intelligence is unbelievable, you don't even have to worry about spies. Whatever information they gather will be useless to them.

Trump is a genius.
 
Going for president is a job interview. How can anyone in their right mind hire trump looking at these interviews?

If you were interviewing trump yourself and you asked him questions and he answered them like that, would you hire him?

He doubled down on it a while ago when he said we should torture and kill the families of terrorists.

That was his first double down, and then his first reversal.

CNN said:
After advocating the killing of terrorists' families and the benefits of waterboarding, Trump reversed course after condemnation from former cabinet members, lawmakers and intelligence and military officials, some of whom denounced him as "utterly unfitted to the office" of president.

...

But in a statement Friday, Trump said that he understands "that the United States is bound by laws and treaties" and that he would "not order our military or other officials to violate those laws and will seek their advice on such matters."
He added, "I will not order a military officer to disobey the law. It is clear that as president I will be bound by laws just like all Americans and I will meet those responsibilities."

(Link: CNN from March 4, 2016)

And now he's reversed his reversal, and coming back strong with a pro-waterboarding-and-more stance.

Yeah, that's why Trump supporters on the Internet are mostly seen on the least moderated forums.
