Harris Vs Trump 2024 US Presidential election - read the warning in the OP posted 18/09/24

NYT gave a number of reasons why people are voting for Trump in an article I posted last night - one of the reasons was a younger audience seeing an entertainment value in Trump - obviously your son is not amused

Of all of the dumbest reasons to vote for Trump, "entertainment" has to one of the most asinine.

Hard and all to believe …you were young ….once🤪

Let them make their own mistakes 😀

Within 3 pages on boards I'm a Trump supporter.

You must truly think we were born yesterday. Noone believes you were anything but a thinly veiled Trump supporter. This trick has been played so many times on this thread already. It's neither clever or original.

Either that or you change your opinions on a dime. Depending on what the last person to hurt your tender sensibilities said. Which would make you a very strange individual. Can you not make up your mind for yourself based on the facts?

I don't recall Biden ever dancing for 40 minutes at a town hall so ya, I'd say the questions on Trump's mental state are as relevant as those on Biden during the debates. You're complaining about the threads bias towards Harris but that's simply cause she is far more credible than Trump. Most posters don't want a right wing extremist back in office.

Pretty facile reasoning for becoming a Trump supporter. If three pages of forum posts is enough to turn you, allow me to turn you back with half an hour of these lies,

Not enough? How about him trying to squeeze non-existent votes out of Brad Raffensperger? A doozy.

Although before the election, he also claimed the election would be rigged, if he lost. What a responsible absolutely not divisive and insane thing to say. Here you go.

Here he is calling Brad Raffensperger an 'enemy of the people'. But the Dems are worse, rite?

As a bonus, here's a perfectly normal thing for a POTUS to say on Twitter after riling up an angry mob near the US Capitol. Totally normal.

But three pages of boards posts!

Biden dancing for 40 minutes might have helped his campaign - especially if he kept in time - Strictly (be) Come President - now that would be a ratings winner !

You've clearly missed the multiple events in the last few months around Trump. Plenty have raised questions about his mental faculties. If you're classifying tripping on stairs or not being sure what way to walk off stage as bad then it's pretty bad that you're not questioning Trump's behaviour lately.

You joined this thread today, playing the card of asking questions and being uncertain. Now you're actually backing Trump. Either you're incredibly uninformed or didn't join this topic with the intent of engaging in good faith discussion.

well by your theory he “probably wont remember tomorrow” so it’s unlikely he’ll “escalate multiple wars into one” - you can rest easy

Google translate just shat itself

I've seen plenty of normal discussions here involving Romney, Bush, McCain supporters. To date never with Trump.

Whether someone is for or against a candidate they should be able to make a coherent logical argument.

Have you ever seen anyone in an interview with a MAGA hat on making a logical argument?

It's interesting to watch, real time, the degeneration of political discourse into infantile name-calling, quips, anti-science, anti-logic, insults, slurs, racism, bigotry - and that's just by the candidate himself.

'Burn it down' is very much the aim.

There are a class of people emerging of which individuals such as Elon Musk and Peter Thiel see themselves very much as members. They're already elite people due to the vast fortunes they have amassed, but what differentiates them is they dream of a world, or even just a western world, where their status is codified in castes and there is little real social mobility. They see concepts of individualism and egalitarianism as pipe dreams and that the true order of things is rigid hierarchy and unchallenged power. Elon Musk doesn't really believe in freedom of speech. If he were running things, it wouldn't exist, but freedom of speech is a great vector to get to a point where there is no freedom of speech, if you understand me.

Whether Donald Trump believes in the same thing is doubtful, because he's not a deep reader or thinker, but he is undeniably charismatic and a walking political wrecking ball. To the thinkers in the so-called 'Dark Enlightenment' (think of supposed philosophers like Curtis Yarvin), he's very much a useful tool.

The kind of people who make up MAGA and, indeed, reactionaries throughout the West will in no way inherit the benefit of this new order, should it come to pass, other than being given the catharsis of maybe even a lower rung to kick down upon (think of 'others' - immigrants, the disabled, other races and so on), but they play a very important role in being the vanguard of those at the top, while those at the top laugh at them.
