2016 - WTF (Page 2)

Originally posted by jmk-brooklyn Tony, among other Trump supporters I've seen on tv has said explicitly that one of the things he likes about Trump is the way he refuses to be what Tony and Trump himself calls "politically correct", meaning that he's not constrained by societal pressure and has no problem insulting and belittling his competition. He also has demonstrated both during the campaign and previously that he has no problem insulting women based upon their appearance, the disabled based upon their disability, etc. So I'm not speaking generally at all. It's been a pretty consistent theme of his campaign that his supporters like that he goes ahead and belittles anyone he wants. And Tony's not alone--this is from the NYT:"Trump’s assault on political correctness has even attracted the attention of Kenny Rogers, the country-and-western singer, who appeared slightly embarrassed to admit how drawn he was to Trump: 'I really like him. I think his problem is that he says what everyone wants to hear, but he doesn’t say it well. I love what he says, I have to admit.'" And this is from the LA Times: "Though South Carolina has long prided itself on Southern manners and propriety, it is changing rapidly as outsiders increasingly move here. And Trump Nation may be immune to, and in some cases, even more than forgiving of his brash behavior. 'I hope he drops an F-bomb,” one fan said to another on the way into the rally.'" So no, I'm not making a bigoted (?) statement at all. In fact, it's a pretty widely observed and acknowledged phenomenon. It might be a "physic" statement. But...I'm not really sure...

I do enjoy my naps, but coffee in the evening, I just can't do it.

it's interesting how you preach about not paining everyone with a broad brush but then there is this gem from you.

"We've seen pretty clearly, even on this board, that the people who support him do so largely because they like the way in which he insults and belittles people." 

Physic or a bigoted statement, you tell me?
