If you really believed that taking sides to begin with is politically hypocritical self-righteous BS, then...you wouldn't take a side, no matter how proportionate the banter is or isn't.

A person can make fun of something going on and it isn't automatically taking one side or another. You know this has been my position for quite awhile. We've been done this road years ago, had a cordial interchange, and decided to agree to disagree on the matter. You can set your watch to how certain members will react to things on this board, I'm just having fun at the expense of pseudo-intellectual lemmings.

My contention to your notion is the same as it's always been.
If you dismiss everyone in the political arena as "all the same," then you must then excuse any and all actions carried out by anyone, and there is no sense of right and wrong.
If, say, a politician commits a murder, your notion then logically states that all politicians are murderers, or at the very least, are to be regarded as such, because, after all, they're all the same.
I still don't think that notion holds.
i was referring to the general argument that I hear from many who support Trump for President, not you. in my lifetime, no president has ever been trashy, ignorant, and hostile. if you and Stephen want to paint them as such, go right ahead, I don’t care.
"In my lifetime". Roughly translated: "It could not have possibly existed before"!
You are quite the Historian. lol
Which past President would you compare Trump to?

The correct context of my opinion regarding "politicians in DC being the same" refers to power and money being all they care about.
Your excusing all Actions statement doesn't make any sense, I can say all gangbangers in. LA are the same..They just care about power through violence and money from drugs. So that automatically makes me excuse their actions cause I have no sense of right and wrong? That is pretty weak.
The murder by one makes them all murderers doesn't apply cause I've never stated they were all the same regarding everything. Anyone with common sense would never say that. After all they are different genders, race, age height, weight, eye color, hair color, political party, from different districts, states, married, single, gay, straight, children, no children, drive a car, take a train , fly, pro-choice, pro-life, gun owner, gun control, and it goes on and on None of that changes my opinion.
n other words, it's the first time any of us have ever seen a President of the United States regularly attack and harrass fellow Americans, sow distrust towards our federal law enforcement, intelligence, and courts, all while praising foreign adversaries. once again, there's never a denial about this. therefore, the point about Trump sharing common traits of past Presidents is merely an attempt to move the focus in a different direction. but why? imagine you are a GM of a big company. you hire someone with a strong track record of sales success, but a bit of an arrogant loose cannon. you take the risk and hire him anyway. after a year, he commits fraud and sexually harrasses several employees, which leads to multiple lawsuits, federal mandates, and massive fines. now imagine being called into the CEO's office where you have to explain it all to him and the board of directors. it would be the longest and tougest walk of shame in your life. some Trump supporters refuse to take this walk. this is why they say "...but they are actually all the same", "but Hillary", "but the (normal) economy".

That is your perspective, on things, some will agree, others won't. Why care about what supporters of someone does or doesn't do? You have no control over that and yelling/screaming "you're wrong" is proven to be the worst possible way to change someone's mind.
it's just a debate topic, nothing more, so relax a little. i'm posing a topic for discussion: if the right was concerned about the direction of the country, what made them think that choosing a hostile buffoon was the solution to restoring it back to greatness?
Do you have a patent on the term "relax" or something? The frequency of its usage makes it seem you get monetary compensation Usually when inquiring about why a particular group thinks or does something,, the smart move would be to ask them? For some insane reason, you continue to ask me why the "right" does or doesn't do something. It's like me saying, "I have never took a vacation out of the USA besides a few trips to Ireland" and you come and ask me" why do people who vacation in Mexico don't worry about being kidnapped "?
If I was to guess "why"? I'd factor in the empirical evidence that Independents and Reagan Democrats also voted the "hostile buffoon" into Office. The finger points in more than one direction. Also, the possibility exists that the policies of the previous ruling party contributed to the concept of try something "different" . Of course, it's just speculation on my part. I'm just a dumb @$$ biker.
