A Trump supporter....

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

What do you guys think the overlap is between Trump supporters and juggalos (the insane clown posse juagglos), and I wonder if they have gang wars over local Walmart turf
Sounds like there's a wide range among Juggalos, so some overlap with Trump supporters seems possible. Do you have some experience with the question?

So, your assignment for your term paper is to compare and contrast Juggalos and DeadHeads, describing origins, sociological makeup, cultural habits and dietary preferences.

"Giving A Group A Name Gives Them A Sense Of Purpose"

"Something similar occurred when Hillary Clinton referred to the most hateful element of Trump's supporters as a "Basket of Deplorables." Once again, the criticism was both understandable and merited, but Clinton's pointed criticism could not have backfired more dramatically"
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J for DNC chairman. The Democrats need to turn things around. Time to tap into the juggalo demographic.

That was a really good and thoughtful article. Not at all what I would have expected from reading "Cracked" years ago,

They can get away with silly horseshit like that, but you let them say something about someone being phaggot philth. Their ass will get locked up in a heartbeat.

They should take the same approach as they would if the kids were imitating the behaviour of some other rude crude boor they saw on TV. And use the age old line, "if Trump jumped off a bridge, would you do that too?" Being President* doesn't make him an acceptable role model.

The hatred of liberals by some segments of the population has reached such a fervor that I wouldn't be surprised if some people eventually openly proclaim support for foreign interference in our internal affairs to help them "save" our country from perceived"enemies".

Romney was mocked back during the 2008 election for calling Russia are biggest geo-political foe. The right was still moderately Russo-phobic. Between then and now, the image of Putin as a strong "alpha-male" leader that gets things done was played up immensely. This image was contrasted with our own President (Obama) who was mocked as weak and effeminate, actively trying to destroy our country (remember, he was a Kenyan impostor and a Muslim).

Russian tanks could probably come rolling down Pennsylvania avenue and all that the Russian army would need to do is hand out tiny American flags and they'd be greeted as liberators, saving us from the degenerate liberals. Obviously this is a massive exaggeration and is only being used to demonstrate a point, but reading conservative message boards the the massive hard-on they have for Putin, it wouldn't come as a complete shock to me in the distant future.

I guess that's how nations begin to fracture - completely malign a segment of your population through incessant propaganda by massively over-emphasizing the extreme fringes of your perceived foes. Keep this up until they've been so demonized that they become more of a threat to your country and your way of life than the interference by outside powers.

Man oh man it's really interesting watching all this go down. America has become a giant experiment in modern day propaganda.

Russia's only gotten worse in the last 8 years - Putin's consolidation of power, Ukraine, Crimea, repression of gays, assassinations, stifling democracy at home, interfering in elections abroad, saving Assad, etc. Mitten was prescient, lucky or premature.

Mitten doesn't think that Republicans are our biggest geopolitical foe. :D

Just saw a video of Trump's cabinet meeting. Everyone took turns more or less praising Trump, sans Mattis, who took the opportunity to say it was an honor to be working with the men and women of the DoD.

I can't recall anything like that being done in the past, not sure if you guys can. It seems rather odd though.

Trump Invites His Employees To Praise Him During Cabinet Meeting

Absolutely pathetic display by Dolt .45 and his toadies.

Comments:
Everyday - I just keep thinking to myself - this can't be real...
Trump is such a snowflake. He needs constant reassurance that he's special.
I have yet to find anything good about trump.
Sounding more like a dictatorship every day. Did he hand out the lines for everyone to say?
I MISS BARACK OBAMA !!! Mr Obama, I truly wish you were our President again. It has been an absolute honor and pleasure to have had you as our President. You sir have been a wonderful president, an exceptional president to be exact. History will remember you as one of the best, the blessing of the century, and once-in-a-lifetime president. Barack Obama we proudly salute you ...
What has he accomplished? Just seems to be forcing people to lie for him
Those of you who somehow didn't read George Orwell's "Animal Farm" in high school--you need to pick it up. It's only 140 pages, and you will find DIRECT parallels to the current Administration. Absolutely frightening.
The baby in chief just needed his fragile ego stroked.
I wake up everyday hoping Trump has croaked.
barf bag please!
This is seriously pathetic. Did they have to tell him how pretty he is too?

Oh, Mr. President*, what huge hands you have - and such beautiful pursed lips - and hearing you speak is like being in the presence of Aristotle. Your tweets are most eloquent, and carry the most impact of enduring truth in just a few creative words.
I love my job!
