YOU are a potential Trump supporter. In fact every single person in this forum are potential Trump supporters. To use it in the OP is a lie and of course won't be corrected.

Your average "progressive" is more like a meme!

Fake news! The reality is Taj spent his 200 ruble bonus on cheap vodka and is now out of rubles and vodka. He has returned to troll to earn enough for his next bender.

Oh *precious, to match your maturity and intellectual deficiencies I will not put you back on ignore (just kidding, I will).
The guy had a weapon, his "words" were escalating. Very good and decent heroes prevented him from potentially physically harming those young women. There is no other way to look at this situation. To do so only makes you a disgusting excuse for animated flesh. He was vile, volatile, violent and needed to be stopped from harassing any human.
I know many Muslims, been to several family affairs and ceremonies. These are people I care about and respect as truly wonderful human beings. If you fear all Muslims then you are a profoundly small and weak little person. If co-existing is so frightening to you I'm not entirely sure you have a skill set that warrants existing. If you hate/fear all Muslims then you are the epitome of cowardice.
I do not fear people of different race, religion, financial standing, different political views, I fear truly evil people. Trump, cohorts and the leaders he offers his ****holster up to are truly evil. The fear I have of them is what they are willing to do to the people of their countries and of the world. Their supporters should fear them as well but they are too busy loving their anger and hate and regressive mind set to know better.
Now wake up and be a better person, not for any one but you though everyone will benefit from it. Do it. Now!
Oh and thanks for calling me a snowflake. Did you know that snowflake translates to someone who is a better and smarter person than you (specifically you)?
*precious - of course I mean it in the has-a-despicable--agenda-and-only-sends-out-ugly-and-nasty-energy kind of way. LOTR.

Nah, I am not, I have common sense and relative decency, so that immediately disqualified me from supporting drumpf in any way. You seem triggered, are you triggered? You appear to be very triggered, need a safe space tajjy?

So... you're married to the idea of holding on to dumb with a vice grip? Nailing it.
Correct. If the definition of potential is stripped from all relativity. Its like saying the Pope is a potential atheist.

Hon, it's a vise-grip. Thanks for once again showing your ignorance while you dabble in things you have no business talking about.

Yes, he allegedly said some mean things, which seems likely based on previous observable behavior, but I have no reason to believe he attacked or threatened the others any more than I do that he defended himself. Saying mean things is not illegal.
Great. So after those moslems killed those kids in Manchester, do you still believe "not all moslems" are bad? If yes, you now understand where I stand when it comes to the people that support the President of the USofA, despite the media constantly attacking them for things they have not done (including this case).

There's another topic in which I tried to touch on a point, of why this is happening to us now.
We are a tribal species that can find "others" in everything and everyone. Look at the way kids pick on each other and you'll see the beginnings of what later becomes tribal warfare and the sort of violence that has always plagued humanity. The root psychology driving this behavior is still present in us today. We are still the monsters the history books warned us about.
And so, it is a natural human phenomenon present the world over... but Western Society has prided itself in doing its damnedest to overcome it. We have aligned ourselves with values of acceptance and protecting people. So why do we back slide?
Economics. The United States is falling from the grace of its "golden era" where labor had incredible value and enriched Americans far and wide. Today, by comparison, our people are pulling away from each other as they fight over scraps that get smaller every year. The decline in labor is a huge economic punch in the gut that drives out the niceties of a moral society.
Polarization. Our two party system makes it difficult to feel like we can effect change. As the economic noose tightens around our necks we keep trying and keep failing to change the system. Three branches of government, 60+ vote requirements, long drawn out campaigns.... the trap of voting for the lesser of two evils. People grow desperate and lose hope. Hope in the future, in themselves, and in each other. Not only does it feel like a dog eat dog world... now "the man" is keeping us down. They are stopping us from "fixing" what's hurting us. They are the enemy... the source of all illness. Final solutions galore.
Madness. A recent entry that pours fuel on an already burning fire. I really think our primitive brains cannot cope with the existence of such partisan and polarizing news and media 24/7. Social media in particular means "the enemy" is out there... and our psychology insists that while the threat is fresh... our defense mechanisms are raging. Walls up, let no one in. If they aren't us then they are "other". Hyper partisanship is rising, but I'm afraid the United States is in a prime position to learn what a severe and acute onset looks like. I think we all feel that something has changed in the world, where it has become difficult for people to calm down long enough to see the humanity in each other.
Trump gained a following by being outcast. A desperate people angry at our leaders saw someone who scapegoated trade deals and immigrants. Hungry for jobs, he spoke of jobs. So Trump was used as "the enemy of my enemy" regardless of his flaws. I was a little tempted by that offer, to give the GOP the finger. Instead I listened to reason, but I have some idea of where Trump voters were coming from. I also think human nature has them trapped by ego into defending a poor decision. They cannot help but raise walls and block out reason. And since the party never ends, their denial has turned to sheer madness.
I know someone who thinks we have to "protect" jobs at ALL costs. Deport immigrants, rip up trade deals, return to an Agrarian Society. All so people can "feel good" by working. I wish I could get through to this person... but they are caught up on cable news and social media, far too concerned with fighting the good fight with no time to experience any sense of introspection. Tribalism is working its magic to turn them into "others" and vise versa. In such environments Humans are built to fight, no to listen.
The road back from this situation will not be easy. First we have to steal a key motivator, the economy. Make them a new(er) deal.

It is almost COMICAL to watch these kinds of threads evolve... watching the dormant ALT trolls busily dusting off their yes man sock puppet accounts to try and give the impression that their limp wristed bigotry/racism/and hatred towards all things not while male Christian conservative is someone mainstream here... PLEASE log back into the LegendKiller sock puppet account... that one was one of most comical iterations of the over the top right wing fuckbag ALTs accounts ever... Pathetic losers...

You just said everyone is a potential supporter, so how can it be a lie? Maybe you are confused about what constitutes a lie?

You almost filled out the whole SJW accusation Bingo card in a single post! Well done!
About the only point you've had to make is that anyone who disagrees with your dogma is, by default, a Trump-supporting, alt-right, bigoted, racist, limp-wristed, white, violent, weakling Christian male.

“Freedom of speech and thought is not just for warm fuzzy ideas that we find comfortable, it’s for ideas that we find offensive,” Zakaria said. Then, noting that some Notre Dame students walked out on Vice President Mike Pence at their commencement, he took liberals to task.
"There is also an anti-intellectualism on the Left. An attitude of self-righteousness that says we are so pure, we are so morally superior; we cannot bear to hear an idea with which we disagree. Liberals think they are tolerant — but often they aren’t," he said.

Perhaps we can try an experiment. Is the thread title "Another potential Muslim terrorist fanatic commits murder" acceptable to you for this thread? Not to me, the guy isn't an Muslim. He's also not a Trump supporter and didn't vote for him in the election according to his own Facebook posts. Give it a try, see what the response would be.

Lol, I have seen you make mistakes as well. At least we know you are clear on what kind of grip you have on your commitment to being dumb. Loosen it won't you? Your brain might enjoy the oxygen. The damage is done, of course but it still might prefer not being deprived of common or decent sense. Try it. See what comes of it. I'm sure I can't be the only one who would like to see what that looks like.

If not a useful tool for the Trump agenda you certainly are a dark hole of a person with an absurd and hateful understanding of empathy and a pathetic, dark and wounded soul. You're not soothing it, you're nurturing it. Ugliness taints every part of your life because of it. My life? I love my life and care for all kinds of people.
