The leftist media, fuck even the neocon fox news media are in a fervent tailspin and it's so beautiful to watch.
I thought 'can't stump the trump' was just a silly phrase to pissing off the 'feel the bern' bernie spam bots, but nobody can actually stump this motherfucker.

that unbelievably cringeworthy line was deployed to counter "can't stump the trump"
[–] Sir-Real ago
Feel the Bern was around for quite a bit before Trump started running. It only really took off as a battle of slogans thing.

Well if he, somehow, ends up with the nomination, he will have to come back towards the center in order to gain independent votes. This is why the Republicans are in a frenzy to get him out of there, because nobody outside the 30% of republicans who are voting for him are going to suddenly support him

Out of all the republicans he's actually polling best with independents
[–] Drenki ago
68% of Republicans say they would vote for him if he ran as an independent so... your numbers may be backwards.

Ooh, you're just saying that because she's a nagging fat bitch.

You said "black" you racist. /s

How insensitive of me. Let me fix that for you
Thanks for checking my privileged, bruv.

So that means I'm the racist /s but I hate blackmail I think it's aweful.

Social Justice Warriors, Armchair Slacktivists, the cultural cannibals and neo-privileged classes are the only ones allowed to invoke the specter of fear. Only they can pronounce what is the good and what is the bad, for in their narrow myopic view of the world only they are smart enough to make those chooses.
What anybody else says or does is meaningless because only their perception, their feelings matter. NOT what is truth, what is right, not what is fact or reality. It goes with saying, but I will say it; never, never what is moral and ethical.
What it boils down to is "I'm right and everybody else is raciest!"

I think they're switching now to "all Trump's supporters are fascists!" At least that's what I've been seeing on reddit

Remember, there is a reason the voting booth is private. I would not be surprised to see America wake up Wednesday, November 9, 2016, and say, "If no one voted for this guy, how is he president?"
[–] CatNamedJava ago
Lol you still use a booth. I bet you stand in a quene to vote. Do you also put your finger in ink? Mail in ballots is the way to go.

Use morality to blackmail people?! WTF?!

"Why do you refuse to help the refugees? You're a monster, I'll let everyone know about this."
[–] DickHertz ago
I don't know but that doesn't seem like much of a threat.
[–] sp00kygh0st ago
Do they not use fear to push gun control laws, climate change laws, and anti-rape laws?
[–] jxfaith ago (edited ago)
I kinda wish green tech weren't so bogged down in the "stop global warming" narrative. Development in that field is necessary for human civilization to continue down its current path of technology. Oil and coal won't be here forever.
If you call that fear mongering, I don't know what else to say. My word would be reality, but that's none of my business.
[–] sp00kygh0st ago
It will never be efficient enough to be viable. Nuclear power is what we should be focusing on, but that is also being bogged down do to more fear mongering
