> [@Fotheringay-Phipps](#): > > I’ll tell you the weird thing about that. No one scoffed more at the notion that Trump could make the Mexicans pay for the wall than me, and I’m still highly skeptical. However, it would appear that [a lot of Mexicans think this will happen](http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/01/16/meet-the-mexicans-who-think-mexico-will-pay-for-the-wall.html). > > [FTR, if it does happen it would probably be an immoral and imperialistic action on the part of the US, in that in involves forcing another country to do something against the interest of its own citizens.] Interesting. But if the Mexican gov’t thinks this is an unavoidable eventuality, why not build the wall on their side of the border? At least they can then control the costs and contribute to their own economy and labour force. ---

Although I do not aspire to the grandiose hyperbole of the OP, I understand perfectly the emotion from which it sprang. Because I share it. I am a moderately calm, introverted person, but the things trump supporters manage to believe inspires an incoherent rage that surprises and disturbs me. I actually hate them with a pure and utterly violent hatred. I really do. I imagine grabbing heads and slamming them into concrete walls. While screaming at them. I so admire the millions of people who marched without a single incident of violence. We felt happy and unified and brave. I hope I feel that way again. So that’s one data point from a liberal cupcake. ---

> [@running\_coach](#): > > I don’t see any board members mentioned. All Trump supporters includes his supporters on this board, or did you fail English comprehension? He’s wishing death on me and like-minded posters. He may well call it hyperbole but I didn’t realize that got you round the rule, which is quite clear. I wonder whether a similar death wish on all Clinton supporters would have got a pass from **Colibri**. ---

I hope the diseased whores who shat you out of their syphilitic cunts live just long enough to see you die in pain and agony before they, too, succumb to whatever plague a just God has seen fit to inflict on racist, hateful, deliberately ignorant pieces of shit. I hope that your children also get to see you die so I can laugh in their faces, after I spit in them and before I gouge their eyes out and fuck them in their eye sockets. Chelsea Clinton?

Echo, echo, echo… Nice chamber you got here. Trump is a \*symptom \*of the problem, not the source of the problem. Lets look at the national standings of the Democratic Party. Outside of a few liberal, urban areas like New York City, not even the whole state, just the city, and California along with the urban areas on the West coast, the Democrats aren’t really even a national party anymore. A handful of governors, a minority in the House of Representatives, a minority in the Senate, soon a minority on the Supreme Court, Trump didn’t do any of that or even have any influence on that. And he is not even a real Republican. Continuing the Hillary strategy of painting the issue as Bad Man Trump, without a more positive message is to continue to avoid the real or perceived disenfranchisement of a large segment of US society. Someday all the working class families will come home to the Democratic party. You have 2 years to show an increase in governorships, a gain in the House and Senate, and a revival of the Party. I just don’t see it coming. Trump is a symptom of an un-treated problem. See it as that and get a better message out and the national standings of the Democratic party will improve. Stick to the message of Bad Trump and it will not. ---

[Man Bites Ear Off Another Man During Argument About Trump](http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2017/01/23/man-bites-ear-off-over-trump/) However it’s unclear at this time whether the attacker was a Trump opponent or supporter. Stay tuned. Yes, apparently it was a [Trump opponent biting off the ear of a Trump supporter](http://www.wtae.com/article/man-bites-off-ear-during-fight-over-donald-trump/8631704). Possibly even the OP of this very thread, backing up his words with deeds. ---

He may well call it hyperbole but I didn’t realize that got you round the rule, which is quite clear. I wonder whether a similar death wish on all Clinton supporters would have got a pass from **Colibri**. Hey, funny story. You know what I don’t have in my inbox? A report, about this thread, from you. But don’t let that stop you from complaining about the moderation around here. Anywho. [Moderating] **Thing Fish** , your OP of this thread is in violation of the rule about wishing death on other board members. While there is necessarily some wiggle room in that rule for discussing issues where the outcome could be fatal to members of particular groups who also happen to be represented on the board (such as proposing military action somewhere, or discussing acceptable levels of police force, or what’s the proper way to treat fans of Nickelback), this sort of graphic revenge fantasy doesn’t qualify for that sort of exemption. As such, I’m closing this thread. Please make any future politically-themed threads you start sound less like a spec script for the next _Saw_ movie. No warning issued.
