I don’t think that the OP was asking if this is enough to make someone vote against their natural inclination. I think it was more of an “is this an okay action and completely within the lines of regular social decorum, or is it more akin to cracking jokes and talking shit about someone at a funeral? Is this an action that, if the roles were reversed, you would consider bad form?”
Even with the roles as they actually are, I consider it “bad form”. Can I ask your opinion of Obama’s “get in their faces” quote? (please note, I don’t want to sidetrack the thread with that tangent, just a simple “approve” or “disapprove” from you should suffice)
Since you somehow failed to actually give the quote:
I guess I missed the part where he discussed triggering people and mocking them.
Could you point it out to me?
Obama also failed to offer an autographed book for the best ambassadorship caught on video.
Obama didn’t need RNC and PAC help to make the bestsellers list.
I agreed with the sentiment, but I thought he could have worded it better. So, I guess, taking it solely of just the phrase out of context, I disagreed with it.
I also think it’s inherently different than trying to provoke someone just to piss them off. Obama was trying to foster debate. Trump just seems to want to be trolling people.
There is a difference between encouraging others to debate when possible, and encouraging others to troll their own family members during a special occasion and film the result in order to win a book and a hat.
Donju is just describing the go-to Republican tactic since at least the beginning of the Tea Party days - your fellow Americans are your enemy, so wage war on them.
Aw, that probably would not do it. “Kwanzaa,” though…
Has Junior posted any videos?
He deserves some counter-trolling. Post a video with the title “AWESOME THANKSGIVING LIBERAL FREAKOUT” and have it actually be Stormy Daniels talking disparagingly about Donald senior’s penis.
We’ll call it “dick rolling”.
Nearby recently I saw a quote something like this:
Republicans will do anything to hurt Democrats even if it also hurts innocents.
Democrats will do anything to help innocents even if it also helps Republicans.
The GOP-nazi platform calls for ethnic, social, and ideological cleansing. Provoke your non-nazi relatives so the stormtroopers will know for sure who to take away for “re-education” or whatever.
Happy holidays!
I think the general consensus is that Obama was asking people to do something different in a different way for an entirely different reason. Do you have any examples of Obama asking his followers to troll family members during family gettogethers for the express purpose of upsetting them?
No, I’d say anything like that is a sidetrack.
Stay focused, people.
So, has a winner been announced in Jr.'s “Destroy Your Family-Win Valuable Prizes!” contest?
I believe the prize went to a Mr. Vlad “The Conqueror” Putin. He’s been on quite the winning streak since 2016.
