Folks, I really don't mind who you support. Support Donald Trump. Support Bernie Sanders. (Not much difference). Support Ted Cruz. Hell, support Hillary Clinton. Write in Vladimir Putin. Just don't be dishonest in your advocacy.
Here's an example of Trump supporter dishonesty. If you talk about Trump's crazy stances, like "Deport all the illegals, then let most of them back in" and point out that's defacto amnesty, you may hear a Trump supporter say "He didn't say that." But he did say that. He said bring back the "good" illegals "rapidly." Well...what's a "good" illegal immigrant? Someone who isn't a terrorist, violent felon or deadbeat who isn't working? Guess what? That's most of the illegal immigrants! Point out Trump's flip flop on H1B Visas? You'll get "Don't pay any attention to what he says. Read his book." Well if you read his book you will find out that in 2000 he called for a total ban on assault weapons. [b]He did not change that stance until he decided to run for president." You point that out, and dishonest Trump supporters will call you a liar because "That's his stance from 10 years ago." Yes. And you have no evidence that he changed his stance before deciding to run for president! And considering how he keeps flip flopping on immigration (deport them all, bring most back "rapidly", H1B Visas bad, H1B Visas good, H1B Visas....maybe), then you are gullible as hell to believe you can trust him on guns.
Then we get the really dishonest Trump supporters that inject themselves in every conversation whether you are talking to them or not with "Don't act like I don't know all of this! I support Trump anyway because....damn the GOP!" Well fine $#@!. But...I wasn't talking to you! There are people who support Trump because they wrongly think he's the "real deal." If all you want to do is destroy the GOP then you can vote for Bernie Sanders because he will crush Donald Trump or Ted Cruz in a landslide. (Hillary crushes Donald Trump but Cruz barely beats Hillary.) The GOP cares more about winning than anything and losing to a bumbling goofball like Bernie would be the worse ass whuppin the GOP has received in recent memory. Or you can vote for Trump. I don't give a crap. But don't act like you're some kind of great wise sage for supporting the "anti establishment" pro CFR candidate Donald Trump.
Edit: And note I said average. If the shoe doesn't fit don't wear it. Some Trump supporters here aren't jerks. It's just the ones that are jerks are so freaking vocal and obnoxious.
