Trump Nation: Supporters see themselves in Republican nominee - GMDino - 07-18-2016 Religious, racist, repressed? If nothing else...delusional. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/07/17/donald-trump-supporters-republican-nomination-president/87047494/ Quote:We think we know Trump Nation, perhaps from polls that show it is older and whiter, less affluent and less educated. Its denizens are not as conservative as most Republicans, and not as politically involved. And they are famously angry — with Washington,Barack Obama and political correctness. RE: Trump Nation: Supporters see themselves in Republican nominee - BmorePat87 - 07-18-2016 When someone says life was better in the 50's and they aren't politically correct, I just assume they hate minorities.

When they say they they: "admires Trump for complaining about a Mexican-American judge because she’d be reluctant to" I tend to agree with you. RE: Trump Nation: Supporters see themselves in Republican nominee - McC - 07-18-2016 Sounds like they are the enlightened. They don't buy the nonsense about how flying the flag, saying the pledge and wishing people Merry Christmas when it's Christmas are bad things.

Actually it sounds like they demand everyone live their way while claiming they are being discriminated against. Kind of funny.

I can't say I've been paying attention to the Clinton campaign, but is she running on a platform of "No American flags, no Pledge of Allegiance, no saying Merry Christmas" or something?

RE: Trump Nation: Supporters see themselves in Republican nominee - Belsnickel - 07-18-2016 I never understood the whole "being proud of being born in a particular geographic location" thing. But that's just me. Also, the PoA is something I've never been a fan of. I'm just not a very nationalistic type of person. I am infatuated with the culture in certain places, like my little neck of the woods, and like in some places in Germany, but nationalism is just something that I have never understood. I am an American, why should I be proud of that when I didn't do anything to earn the title beyond being born here?

I always considered myself acute... Any who, there's nothing dismissive about those in the article, the first two paint pictures of people who put importance on overly patriotic practice. The last one was "say 'Merry Christmas' even if they don't know if you celebrate Christmas". That one has to do with people getting upset over others saying "Happy Holidays".

I did, and the only time the flag was mentioned was in this quote: The people of Trump Nation are ones who fly the flag, say the pledge, wish you Merry Christmas, maybe even if they don’t know whether you observe Christmas. I have to admit that acting like saying Merry Christmas regardless of the beliefs/religion of the recipient of the message is a positive thing is a bit funny. Then again, I tell people to enjoy having anal relations with their boyfriend regardless of their sexual preference, so I can hardly talk.

See, I can't see the harm in saying Merry...anything. You name it. It's a well wish. How is that ever bad? On May 5, if somebody says Happy Cinco De Mayo to me, I just say thanks, you too. What's so hard about that? We're just too damn sensitive now, just itching to find an insult or slight somewhere, anywhere, making big deals out of little things so we let the big things going on slide right by us.

It's a well wish. How is that ever bad? It is not bad. No one has ever threatened to boycott a store for saying "Merry Christmas". The only people hyper-sensitive about this issue are the Christians nut jobs who cry about a "War on Christmas" and organize boycotts against stores that say "Happy Holidays". You know, the type of people who support Trump.

Exactly. "I am insulted that I can't call a judge racists just because he is Hispanic." "I am insulted that I can't use derogatory racial slurs because of all this PC bullshit." "I am insulted that I have to hear "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas". This is exactly who Trump is playing up to. Members of the powerful majority who want to cry and play the victim card.

I can agree in the fact that I think a presidential candidate gaining support because he makes a point to say "Merry Christmas" is completely insane.

I'm proud to be all the amazing things I ended up being through no effort of my own! |
