There is a lot of raw intelligence in there somewhere, and he is certainly articulate. But the ideas are all over the place, and they are shared to make some kind of splash - look at me, look how clever I am - that sort of thing. But they've no deep roots based on understanding and experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinfoilhat Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Anyway, moving on from welsh fifa playing loudmouths being run out of town by angry Asian mobs, trump has doubled down. Its not him that’s the racist it’s them. Theresa May condemns Trump's 'go back' remark to congresswomen https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-48990760 The amountof support I’ve found for him on social media is alarming.

Top Cats Hat Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Trump needs to be careful. It wasn’t exclusively white rednecks who voted for him in 2016. A significant number of non-white voters particularly from the Latino communities, voted Trump. His pitch in 2016 was an ‘America First’ trade and foreign policy, a more healthy economy, and to stir up hatred for Muslims and Mexicans. Many of those non-white Trump voters who were born outside the US, may now be getting a little nervous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're not...tough. And if they're dumb enough to double-down, they deserve everything coming their way.

They still not might voice those thoughts to real people in real life but in the privacy of a ballot box they very well might. Four more years I'm afraid!

I wouldn’t put too much store by what you see on social media. It is a magnet for people with reactionary views and a huge bubble where everybody re-shares everybody else’s fake news. On our side of the pond, EDL facebook groups would have tens of thousands of supporters and their facebook ‘events’ pages would have 4-5,000 pledges for a demo and on the day maybe 40 or 50 people would turn up. The ‘Free Wee Tommy Robinson’ twitter account had over half a million followers at one point but they never got more than 1000 people to any of their court protests. Like radio phone in programmes, social media does attract a disproportionate number of reactionaries and moaners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that most people have now sussed out that you are a very poor right wing troll. I showed a friend of mine who is a Lib Dem parish councillor in Derbyshire, some of your posts and asked her what political party she thought that you support. She said either BNP, UKIP or Brexit Party but your obsession with Corbyn means you could also be a Tory Party supporter. When I told her that you claimed to support the Lib Dems she just laughed! Like comrade Lockdoctor who claims to have voted Remain, nobody believes you anymore. 😂 Oh dear, your calling the guy a right wing troll and being obsessed with Corbyn, then showing his posts to a Lib Dem parish councillor …. seriously ? So your not a troll, and your not obsessed ? Deluded much eh …. jeeez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
