Re: I'm not afraid of Trump...

[(Anonymous)]

You must be the evidence-demanding anon from above. I'll give you the same answer: Gut feeling. Bye now.

Re: I'm not afraid of Trump...

[(Anonymous)]

You are going to vote for Donald Trump on the gut feeling that he's a secret liberal, and you're going to act like I'm being ridiculous?

Re: I'm not afraid of Trump...

[(Anonymous)]

Please point to where I said I was going to vote for Trump. Oh, right. You can't, because I didn't.

Re: I'm not afraid of Trump...

[(Anonymous)]

Why aren't you going to vote for him, given that you think he's actually very liberal?

Re: I'm not afraid of Trump...

[(Anonymous)]

1. I don't think he's "very liberal." That's a phrase YOU started tossing around. I just don't think he's actually a moronic nutjob who would follow through on the rhetoric he's currently using to make gains.

2. I like candidates that don't have to "secretly" be anything.

Re: I'm not afraid of Trump...

On reread of thread, I can see where not refuting you outright could lead to confusion.

But this idea of "if you think he's liberal why wouldn't you vote for him?" implies a child's understanding of the world.

Re: I'm not afraid of Trump...

[(Anonymous)]

"He's going to be a very different president" could reasonably construed that he's going to have different political views. In the context of you speaking approvingly of him, and talking about how you're not afraid of him being elected (which I read as saying that he wouldn't be that bad of a president), it's easy to assume that you and he share political views. On F!S, it's reasonable to assume that would mean that you think he has liberal views. However, his stated positions are the opposite of liberal, which means he would be a secret liberal.

I apologize for the chain of assumptions if they were wrong. But I'm now even more mystified of what you think of Trump and why you're talking positively about him.

Re: I'm not afraid of Trump...

I don't know where you're reading this font of positivity from, so I don't know to respond. All I can say is the Trump on display is so far, far, far right-wing that if he ends up just being moderate, or even to the right of moderate, that's still very different from the sort of things we're seeing. And I think what we're seeing is him playing to the lowest common denominator of the GOP electorate, because it's sadly a very large group.

And while I may be liberal, I'm not afraid of moderate conservatism. Does that mean I want him in the White House? No. But I don't think a Trump presidency will usher in the end times, either.

Re: I'm not afraid of Trump...

[(Anonymous)]

Do you honestly think that everyone that hasn't vilified the man as the actual devil is going to vote for him? Like, there's no grey area in your head? There's no "he could be a lot worse, idk" Democratic voters in your world?

Re: I'm not afraid of Trump...

[(Anonymous)]

No. I'm responding to the actual line of argumentation here, which is that he's a secret liberal, because I think it's incredibly pernicious and untrue. You're right, it was incorrect of me to say that anon was going to vote for Trump - although if Trump is a secret liberal, I'm not sure why anon WOULDN'T vote for Trump, so it's hardly offensive.

Re: I'm not afraid of Trump...

[(Anonymous)]

The argument wasn't that he was "a secret liberal" until you made it one. I just failed to shut that down. My bad.
