Is Apoliscoc_9 the Donald Trump of Spurstalk?

[Tully365]

Loud, self-obsessed, brash, dishonest, more interested in drawing attention to himself than in any real basketball discussion, etc., etc.?

I think so.

Does this then...make you the Hillary Clinton of Spurstalk?

Can you American friends explain to an uninformed European what kind of appeal Donald Trump has? Maybe it's a cultural difference thing, but every time I listen to him speak I think "How can any person want this guy as his ruler?".

[apalisoc_9]

Donald trump? I'm more of a nelson mandela, mahatma Gandhi or Muhammad type tbh.

[lilbthebasedgod]

Yeah, this is a basketball forum and the spurs basketball subforum. Keep political stuff away tbh. There's a section you can post this in.

"But its not political its just pointing out how apo is". Yeah its totally not bait for people to start talking politics.

[SouthernFried]

Trump expresses the anger any sensible US citizen has against the media and our govt. It's palpable and real...and people identify with it and him. We are not like Europeans. We don't like heavy handed authority. In fact, we left Europe to NOT be like Europeans.

Having said that...I prefer Cruz. But, if you want to understand Trump, you need to understand the anger US people feel towards our out-of-control govt and corrupt media. That is why TRUMP is so popular. But, either way...he's still better than Hillary. By a long shot.

Shouldn't this be in the Political forum?

Hitler only appealed to Crazy Germans. Muhammad only has 1000 years in time and every country/race has followers of his words. Not to mention his followers are all strict relative to followers of other people.

Hitler appealed to the German masses because he tapped into their post-WWI strife and basic human frustration, and successfully convinced millions that there was blame to be placed on someone else's shoulders. Most Germans had little to no idea what the Nazis were really doing, they just saw a passionate leader promising to vanquish some foreign foe and restore German glory. Hardly just "crazy Germans". Trump is succeeding in primaries because he's more or less doing the same thing.

[Horry Hipcheck]

The success of his campaign so far is largely due to the fact that his no-apologies tactics and willingness to demonize "others" (women, gays, Muslims, Mexico, etc.) taps into a fairly common, primal instinct in people. People who are dissatisfied with where we are right now need something to be angry at, and for someone to give that anger a place to vent. Trump offers that. Post-9/11 paranoia is easy to take out on Islam as an entity, problems with illegal immigration are easily blamed on Mexico, and so on. Basically, he's appealing (to some, not to me) because his rhetoric doesn't require (or want, really) logical thought and allows people to engage emotionally in their frustrations. It's why his rallies are so controversial and have lately been erupting in violence. He also succeeds with a lot of conservatives because a substantial portion of the Republican voter base tends to be politically reactionary. It's an ongoing narrative in the United States that conservative Republicans usually turn out in elections in higher numbers than their more progressive counterparts, and the Obama presidency - regardless of how history will view it logically - has fired up a lot of conservative voters. A similar thing happened in 2008 after the disastrous Bush administration, when progressives and younger voters overwhelmingly swept Obama into office. American politics is often a game of pendulum swings. 8 years of Bush begets 8 years of Obama, and now Trump has ignited a fire in the conservative base that speaks to a primal aspect of their personalities. There is no logical appeal of that man.

Since Trump appeals more to me...and he doesn't appeal to you at all. I suggest you have no clue as to what his appeal is to people like me. Because you've totally missed it in your response. Since he doesn't appeal to you, I wonder why you would even try to come up with an explanation on what his appeal is...how would you know? You don't. Yet, you can't help projecting your own fears and hatred...onto others. The violence isn't by Trump supporters. It's by those people blocking roads and trying to shut down him down. All the while saying it is others doing and promoting violence and hatred. Who are you lying to here?....and why am I talking politics to a fucking moron? lol

IMO, he appeals to the old white section of the electorate, which are pretty bitter and angry to the fact that they're a dwindling demographic, and no longer in control. That's why soundbites like "we never win anymore" resonate loudly. He's probably the least conservative of the candidates from that party that are left, which really goes to show it has little to do with the actual platform (a sizeable amount of his own party want him to lose). What he also has going for him is that Shillary is a terrible candidate, tbh...

Actually, what scares Democrats most about Trump...is his appeal to blacks and minorities. He has a ton of black "leaders" on record as supporting him. Union workers and middle class voters as well...regardless of their skin color. If Skin color is your determining criteria, then you should hate Cruz more. He has a larger proportion of those with light skin supporting him. Geesh, lol. My opinion...get over skin color.

It's not about "skin color", it's about demographics. The fact is that, for example, older white people tend to largely vote a certain party/candidate, or that blacks/latinos tend to largely vote a certain party/candidate. And who they vote for is not always static. ie: Dubya won with over 50% of the latino vote. Then Barry did the same. There's also the fact that certain demographic groups have been growing at a much larger pace than others, and that undoubtedly changes the electoral landscape over time.

If you think he appeals to minorities, then good for you. I don't particularly think he does. But that's entirely opinion, and I have zero problem disagreeing with you on that.

EDIT: It should also be mentioned for our Euro friends, that, being the oldest democracy in existence, there's also a very competitive aspect to these elections, and both parties have "bases" that really care more about "winning" the democracy "game" than anything else (you know, the my team won aspect of it).

[SpurPadre]

Well...we've had one for the last 8 yrs. Did you have a problem with that?

Obama quotes you can easily find online:
"We have a stake in one another...what binds us together is greater than what drives us apart."

"We will remember that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast, from sea to shining sea:- Yes. We. Can."

"There is not a liberal America and a conservative America - there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America and latino America and asian America - there's the United States of America."


Yeah...that's a whole lot of hatemongering...keep living in your wildly distorted bubble along with the KKK and David Duke who proudly endorse Trump, for no reason at all, right? Lol. :rolleyes

Suggesting I don't understand what it is about Trump that appeals to you, then failing to explain what that appeal really is,
actually falls in line with most of Trump's campaign platform rhetoric thus far. Promising a wall that nobody will finance, promising that America will get back to "winning" at abstract concepts like trade and manufacturing, claiming to be the man to bring back the American Dream when people ask specific questions regarding his economic policies. Your entire response is just hot air until you manage to blame violence at his rallies on protesters. What do you think hate speech is? Have you seen any of the videos of white men punching black women for speaking out against him? I ask those questions rhetorically because it's evident that you haven't. Good luck with throwing your support behind a Dominionist fuckstick, by the way.

[Horry Hipcheck]

No, I really can't see him winning the general. The Republican establishment is looking for anyone else at this point and I don't know that his lack of viable substance will really hold up after the RNC. His best chance is that progressives shy away from Hillary due to her divisive position within the Democratic Party, IMO.

Well, Hitler blamed Germany's inadequacies on the Jews. He said that they were disproportionately rich and putting the general populous down. Now does that sound like Trump or like Bernie / Hillary?

So first, it's outlandish that I would compare Trump and Hitler, but less so for you to suggest Hitler's rhetoric falls in line more with Bernie Sanders? Because what, Clinton and Sanders have correctly pointed out that wealth inequality gets worse by the year and trickle down economics don't actually work? You think Hitler's masquerade about Jewish economics was about eliminating corporate tax loopholes and regulating stock market speculation to protect consumers?

Trump has blamed the Mexicans for crime problems and literal rape, and he's blaming terrorism on Muslims. He goes back and forth on how he feels about the Chinese. Do I think he'd perpetuate a genocide? Absolutely not. However, do you really want to split hairs on the tactics being employed here? Is this what we should consider Presidential material? Hitler cast the Jews in such a light that the Germans, frustrated by nearly two decades of struggle, were quick to agree that they were the problem. Trump's entire campaign thus far is built on building a wall to keep out rapists from Mexico and halting Muslims from entering the country. He's othering groups of people that Americans can easily direct ire towards.

I don't want to keep going back and forth on this. I don't come here for this, the daily petty squabbling is more than enough as it stands. ST is a diverse enough place that we've all got our perspectives. Trump, whether you like him or not, is an incendiary, hatemongering psycho. I've never seen the bullshit that's been borne out of his rallies. The way his supporters react to dissenters, and the fact that people are so compelled by his rhetoric to dissent so passionately, is grotesque for an American election in 2016. Conservatives should spend less time justifying his childish mockery of a campaign and more time finding genuine politicians that can represent the actual interests of the Republican party. The GOP is an absolute clown show and its constituents - while I don't agree with them on much - deserve far better.

You dodged the question about Clinton/Sanders blaming a rich class for problems just as Hitler did. Now, what you forget is that they can be right. Jews were fucking people over in Germany, and the corporatists are fucking over Americans. But Clinton is in bed with those people. Bernie is an extension of them no matter how much he wants to pretend not to be.

Trump is holding people accountable. I know that's a tough concept for you. Mexicans are invading a country that isn't there's. Muslims do commit 99.9 percent of the terror. Just because Hitler and his vanguard threw Jews into ovens doesn't mean that we have to pretend that certain groups can and will pull sh**. "Oh, but Hitler blamed...." Fuck your retarded logic. If people pull sh**, you call them out. We don't call out Saudi Arabia cos they bought off all our politicians (including Clinton and possibly Trump); and that's why the Middle East is a sh** hole; well it's one reason, anyhow. The cancer of Islam makes them perpetually sick in the second place.

"Trump, whether you like him or not, is an incendiary, hatemongering psycho." I wouldn't defend him to the hilt; he's a loose cannon and all. But he calls a spade a spade and you can't handle that, and you have to tighten your tampon about it. And I ain't even GOP; but your party has just all but voted in the most blatant lying murderer this world has ever seen. So, you stand on a pile of sh**, tbh.

Never have understood this thing about racist/racism. Yep, we do have the different races because.......................we are different. And it goes far deeper than just physical appearences. So why this need to ignore the obvious differences?

Are all Muslims terrorists, nope! Are most terrorists Muslims, yep~

You say Muslims in the same breath as race. Muslims are not a race; and they are the body of terrorism. Stop walking around the problem.

Well you're mentally weak on top of being one of spurstalk's biggest racists so it's not really surprising you don't understand it

Show me anything I've ever said about race that wasn't 100% true, well?

While I don't necessarily agree with HH, I see where he's coming from. On a large scale, how do you remove an ideology that's been ingrained and part of the culture of this country for the past 400 years. I'm all for fighting for equal rights and such though.

You stop feeding it. You stop equivocating. It'll die on its own. Our politicians are paid for though.

Do you think if no one said anything about Jim Crow laws they would have went away eventually?
