Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Bluespiderman57]

Well guys, it finally happened. We have finally gone around the bend. We have finally come full circle.

At Breitbart News, the politics of vaccination have taken a strange turn. A longtime writer at the populist-right website who wants to save his Donald Trump–supporting readers from COVID-19 is speculating that the left has tricked them into rejecting safe and effective vaccines.

John Nolte is vaccinated himself and, in an article this week, correctly notes that the shots are “a lifesaver.” But every time he touts what he calls the “Trump vaccine,” his Twitter feed and comment threads on his articles get flooded with irrational arguments and unfounded assertions from anti-vaxxers, he writes. That’s no surprise. The populist-right milieu that Nolte inhabits includes lots of influential voices that spread misinformation about vaccines on Fox News, talk radio, and Facebook. For example, America’s most prominent populist commentator, the Fox host Tucker Carlson, has been amplifying Nicki Minaj’s thirdhand claim that a vaccine had swollen her cousin’s friend’s testicles.

In Nolte’s account, however, a conspiracy of evil leftist elites are to blame for vaccine skepticism on the right. “I sincerely believe the organized left is doing everything in its power to convince Trump supporters NOT to get the life-saving Trump vaccine,” Nolte writes. They are “putting unvaccinated Trump supporters in an impossible position,” he insists, “where they can either NOT get a life-saving vaccine or CAN feel like cucks caving to the ugliest, smuggest bullies in the world.”

That's right. A conspiracy of of leftist elites are tricking millions of Trumps votes into not getting the Covid-19 vaccine......by telling them to get the vaccine. That....is the level of delusion we are reaching huh? I mean, I think alot of us know we would reach this level eventually, but I thought it wouldn't be at least until the next election and the deaths really started affecting the Republicans in the races.

I guess this guy is just laying the ground work earlier. The story has to make sense.

When "not getting cucked and mocked by the left" is literally worth dying over, apparently.

I'm not sure there's any better response to that.

No, no, that's false.

...they also got the vaccine themselves. That's right: we tricked the rabid fanbase into getting sick and dying, by not just saying "take the medicine" but actually taking the medicine.

Now I will admit, it's pretty easy to "bully" (eyeroll) someone into taking the medicine that will save their lives by pointing at the studies that show it works, and the state-by-state deaths per capita. But you know who's even easier to bully? Dead people. Someone who doesn't take the vaccine, gets COVID and dies? Yeah, they don't even try to fight back. It's hilarious.

Remember folks, if a Dem tells you to do it, not only must you do it the complete opposite way, but you have to go full head on into a wall while doing it. Or so I've heard from various alt-right peoples.

Honestly, this is something a child does when it doesn't want to do something you tell them.

Funny thing is, a more accurate statement would be "Not getting cucked and mocked by the right for listening to the left".

[Hollycakes]

I'd lol but
asdgflkjhfgdjkhgkjdfkgfjhsdlkgjhasdlkjghsldkjgfhnbsdf!!!
And did the dude really use cucked.
This is weirdly similar to when I hear them say "If dems have nothing to hide, why are they trying to stop it" kind of logic.
Fucking pretzels.

Shame they end up getting cucked anyways by admitting defeat and clogging up the hospital hallways only to last minute regret not being cucked in the first place when they do die.

I'm glad @cubby is nearby, because Trump is asking for his Google/YouTube lawsuit to stay in Florida not move to California and I'd like his take on this:

Trump agreed to YouTube’s Terms of Service

It sounds pretty black and white to me.

As you pointed out, this is straightforward contract law. Did he buy a service? Yes. Did he sign a document agreeing to that service? Yes. Were there conditions he agreed to in order to use that completely arbitrary and voluntary service? Yes.

Agreeing to venue ahead of time by accepting the terms of service/membership is a solid strategic move for the future defendant. In this case, you can bet your Trump University Law Degree that Google and Facebook's attorneys put in near bullet proof language to compel any and all disputes to be required to take place in California.

Done and done.

[Breccia]

Done and done.

I mean...it seems like, when looking at any legal dispute, there's a 90% win rate by just betting against Trump.

[cubby]

You could probably make some serious side cash cozying up to Trumpkins and betting against Trump with them on law suits. Probably wouldn't get paid, but who ever does when it comes to those dipshits.

[PhaelixWW]

You don't get to be as SLAPP-happy as Trump without winning an awful lot of legal disputes. It's both weird and telling that his win rate plummeted upon becoming President.

Normally, one would expect the opposite.

"I can't get vaccinated because liberals would be smug about it" has to be the most ratbrained form of logic I've seen in quite a while, Christ and Allah.

It's like literal toddlers. You tell them not to do something like put their hand on a hot stove, and the dumber ones won't listen and will want to try it themselves, maybe to "prove you wrong".

It's kinda disturbing how similar the mentality of these folks is to literal toddlers, almost like they stopped cognitive developed at a very, very, very, very young age.

How much do you want to bet they stopped developing at the point the lead poisoning/opiate addiction kicked in?

[Elegiac]

Depends on the age of the subject…

Considering most of these clowns appear to be Boomers or early Gen X, there's probably a correlation.

Remember when the generation of flower children were totes gonna make things better?

[Elegiac]

Nope. Mainly because the so-called "social justice movements" that Boomers have historically supported have always been fundamentally selfish in motivation.

It is an actual generation of sociopaths: to them, America has always been an exploitable resource from which they can extract value rather than a society or community.

[Hollycakes]

Ugh my mother and aunt are like that.
I swear the older they get the more like toddlers they become.
My mother will even put her fingers in her ears now when she doesn't like what someone is saying.
When she does that I always say, this is the face of republican politics!
So really that doesn't surprise me.
Fucking playground antics.

I think Reagan had a lot to do with contributing to the "I got mine, jack" selfish mentality of a lot of boomers.

Yeah, it’s like they saw Wall Street when they were kids and thought Gordon Gekko was a hero to be emulated.
