Nah. I hate unaccountable government, coercion, forced charity, nannyism, etc. One party opposes these in name, though not in deed. The other embraces them.

I seen a few people shift in their ideology through the years. To me that's a sign they weren't firmly grounded in what they initially believed.

Perhaps. Could also be that they were open to shifting their position in light of more accurate and factual information, which is certainly a good thing.

To a certain extent, exploring and shifting positions is an asset to a place like PaRD. If everyone were 100% unwavering in every position, then PaRD wouldn't be terribly worthwhile, I think. It would just be a pissing competition.

His behavior is his own, but now he's the preeminent representative of all of us, and such behavior is absolutely unacceptable for someone who represents me.

is posting a meme on twitter really that offensive to you?

I'm with this mentality.

Words are pointless.

This pussycake country needs to grow up and focus on the things that matter, actions.

Buzzfeed 2.0 used the same wwe video footage in an article about Trump 2 years ago :rofl:

What Donald Trump learned about politics from World Wrestling

Quote

Story by Chris Moody and Video by Brenna Williams, CNN
Updated 10:37 AM EDT, Fri July 10, 2015

(CNN) Most politicians earn their political education in halls of government. Donald Trump got his in the World Wrestling ring.

Trump has been a major supporter -- and participant -- in World Wrestling Entertainment since the late 1980s, when the company held matches at Trump Plaza in Atlantic City.

For years, Trump was a ringside regular, and in 2007, he climbed in himself. In 2007, Trump challenged WWE owner Vince McMahon to a proxy bout: The loser lost his hair.

McMahon's wrestler was defeated, and Trump gleefully shaved McMahon's head.

Later, Trump was inducted into the World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Fame.
Along the way, Trump learned a lot that has suited him in his White House run.

Like how to get supporters excited:

How to trash talk:

How to take your opponent down:

And perhaps most importantly, how to take a hit:

buzzfeed 2.0 actually tried a "reported, btw" to twitter and it failed like any other activity they try (like reporting the news objectively etc.)
