You keep calling yourself a Trump supporter but in reality, you're just a dumb fanboy who doesn't actually have any claim to the "Trump supporter" label because you can not actually politically support him. At the same you act like you know how much daily life in the US is affected by Trump's policies when in reality, you don't even live there and have no fucking clue what it's like.
You were just complaining about things being bad in Britain because of Labour/Starmer, so I'm sure you'd be totally in agreement if some non-Brit was to tell you, nah, actually, things are great in Britain, you're just complaining because you don't know what's going on in your own country and what's best for you, go Labour party!

>Brit

Ah, that explains some things. I normally like him but so many of his posts about US politics seemed off to me. He's allowed his opinion, but this is why I don't comment on other countries' politics unless I'm asking questions.

I wouldn't mind his comments on US politics (even if I majorly disagree with them) if he didn't for the most part play pretend that he was American and had any actual stake in the matter OR any real life experience what he was talking about when saying "things are good, actually". I don't think people shouldn't be allowed to comment on other countries' politics. I just think people shouldn't act like they have lived experiences of a country they don't actually live in.

Play pret- Ah, I see I have once again intruded on an argument you are having between yourself and the version of me that lives in your head. I will let you and him hash this out. Do tell me who wins!

Don't play dumb again (though maybe you actually are, your erratic commentary does sound like it), you know you kept acting like you were American for the majority of the time when talking about this issue, and it ether was intentional or just another example for your ignorance.

I can honestly say I have never once played as anything other than myself here, At least not with my current username. I use English slang, Wnglish spelling, I've openly complained about English politicians, maybe occasionally I'll use elevator instead of lift, but that's just one of those cultural contamination things you get when 80% of the media you consume is American. My fiancee has pointed it out. That and the fact that ZEE just sounds more natural than ZED are about the only Americanisms I'm aware of. Also, I have openly SAID I was English on a number of occasions. Sometimes when I sense there's some snakery afoot I might refrain from answering a direct question about my nationality. I've done the same with my race and age. You know that you can sometimes tell when your answer is going to be used against you, and on those rare occasions I EVADE, but I have never pretended - Not that I'm above fibbing, but I know that I've mentioned my nationality before and we got some autists here who would remember.

It has never been a goal to present myself or to let others assume my nationality is American. There's just no benefit in it for me.

If you took any of that as "Acting like an American" I would - and normally I would only say this if I was trying to get under the skin of someone trolling at me, and I DO think you're trolling me, but this I swear is not what I'm doing here and I 100% in earnest put this to you as a genuine possibility - I would ask if maybe it's not a touch of American centrism (If I was trying to needle you I'd have went with American exceptionalism). You see someone who you don't know, you fill in the blanks with assumptions that they are like you?

I see the news (I can't fucking ESCAPE your news in point of fact), I have American friends, I talk politics with you guys and I form opinions based on those conversations.

Hell even in this very thread the examples of how bad it is for the average Joe right NOW comes down to "these tariffs WILL"

You don't have to like my opinions, you don't have to respect them, or give them any merit. You certainly don't have to spend 16 hours a day trying to rebut my opinions as some people do (or more likely spend 16 hours a day calling me a stupid evil fascist homosexual who lusts after Trumps orange semen). You're all free to do any of that. but you're not going to convince me I don't get to have opinions, or that I don't have enough information to have an opinion. Especially not after hearing every Americans opinion on Brexit for 4 years. I never told none of you guys "Shut your gob you don't have a clue" because the depressing reality of international news and national propaganda campaign's means you guys know as much as anyone else. And Honestly, with trump, if you look at it in the round, it's STILL anyone's guess how it's going to play out. I just think the moves he's making are the kinds of moves I'd like to see for my nation, and I think and hope they'll come out good in the long run. You're welcome to engage with this opinion as much or as little as you choose.

Wait, so I'm back to NOT being a Trump supporter? I approve of his policies, at least the ones that make sense to me. And I advocate for them online when I have the chance and the motivation. I dunno what you want from me here, other than for you to feel big about yourself.

I don't know what would happen if a non-brit was in favour of a political party in the UK on the strength of wanting the party they agree with the most to win even if it doesn't affect them. Why don't you try it an see?

Spoiler warning, I of course DO know exactly what that would be like, because EVERYONE has an opinion on every nations politics once it get's heated. If you can honestly tell me you didn't have anything to say about Brexit, I will... well I'll call you a liar, actually. But go on, Lets just see for the shit of it what happens if you express a political opinion about my nation based on what you think is best despite not having to face any consequences.

Look, I can't help you if you lack the ability to understand this point. I seriously can't. I never expected much intellectually from someone who thinks Trump is good, actually, and who keeps talking about how they're soooo totally well informed but keep wilfully ignoring any and all points that don't fit their narrative and then go pretending that no, nobody actually said ANYTHING that's bad under Trump when you get whole lists of shit that suck every single time. You keep trying to play the victim each time because one or two unhinged anons insult you and then go on weird-ass rambly tangents that people are not interested in engaging in and then feel like you've somehow 'won' the argument because people got tired of you.

No, I understand it, there are 2 context in which a person might be called a Trump Supported - A person who offers actual tangible support for a cause - an activist. and a person who just generally supports the principals of a thing - a slactivist. Like I imagine you "support" israel / Palestine (delete as appropriate) but you're not on the front lines, or sending them money (except tax money in the case of the former). I understand that. My point is you're jumping back and forth so you can have it both ways. I'm one kind when I am to be called a nazi or a fascist, THEN it's ok to call me a trump supporter. And I'm the other kind when you want to mock me for having an opinion, a preference, or and interest in something that I cannot tangible support, them I'm stupid or lying by calling myself a trump supporter.

You're being disingenuous so you can feel YOU somehow won the argument.

And I am well informed enough to have an opinion. If I was of the same opinion as you, you wouldn't suggest I'm uninformed. The reason why you're pretending to think that now is because it's convenient for you to use my nationality to dismiss my opinion.

There's a lot of shit in that where it's clear you're not arguing with me, but the version of me that is in your head (A lot of this going around today! That little fella must be super busy!) "nobody actually said ANYTHING that's bad under Trump" "You keep trying to play the victim" "weird-ass rambly tangents". There's nothing in that for me, so I'll let the little guy take it. Just imagine how he'd respond to those accusations, and take that fight to your own head.

BUT I will take up one point: "Wilfully ignoring any and all points that don't fit their narrative" Nope. I DO listen to you lot. Even the psycho's. Even the ones I dismiss because it's clear they have no interest in arguing with me, but with what they THINK I said. I listen. I wait for examples, I sometimes get them, and if I've the energy I will debate them. I don't ignore you, or pretend you lot don't make your points. I simply don't agree with them. Sometimes because the points are wrong. Sometimes because I can identify the specific CNN host who is talking through you. Sometimes because I know people I trust better who have counter anecdotes that better fit what I DO see. And sometimes because you guys don't give me anything but appeals to emotion. But I do listen. I DO try to understand. And I DO try to remember your side (which is harder being that F!S is an anonymous batshit rage farm, but I try) But none of that means I have to change my opinion. Not EVEN if anything you lot said was reasonable, but I like to think if anyone said anything reasonable and compelling and truly ground-breaking that obviously came from a place of being better informed, I would take it on board. In fact I can think of one occasion when Philstar DID say something new I hadn't known about, and when I took it to my burger munchers they told me shit like "I dunno" "Maybe technically" "That sounds like bullshit" and just straight up "No that's not true" but it was a point of law, and while a few of them SUTDIED law, at bare minimum I believe Philstar isn't lying about being an ACTUAL lawyer, so I give Phil more weight than them. But with the rest of this shit? I see no reason to, having heard and assessed and found the arguments as compelling a pissgate - Some one in this very thread told me with utter 100$ conviction that Tulsi Gabbard is a russian asset. That "Fact" is just a part of their world, you want me to take that into my own brain to prove I'm not ignoring people who contradict me on this community? Fuck no. - No, however I am with REASONABLE points, I have NO obligation to concede to the unreasonable ones. But I DO listen to them.
