It was funny, last night I had almost the entire global 3 chat filled with people posting pro-Trump comments. The few nay sayers got shouted out, lol. Pretty much the entire guild I was in supports Trump. Trump is more than just a political candidate now, he's an icon. He's super successful, says what he thinks without caring if its PC or not, and has a hot wife. An alpha male in every regard.

" Ironically you need to have a safe space to feel that. I mean, your guild is a bubble. And global shouting their opposition hardly sounds like a place for reasonable discussion.

" "Better nuke Europe" "Riots in Detroit nuke it" "You can just nuke all problems away" This guy will just bring WW3. He better becomes candidate, loses all states by a 40% margin. | |

That Trump/Matthews discussion isn't really so much about using nuclear weapons, so much as Trump being reliant on a particularly irrational voting demographic, and knowing it. He can't allow himself to say his US wouldn't bully other nations on the threat, veiled or otherwise, of excessive force.
Which is scary enough, if you really think about it. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

" That's totally not what he said, but what the media is trying to spin. He will never nuke anyone. But he doesn't want to take it off the table because he needs the nukes as something to negotiate with. I see nothing wrong with this, it's perfectly understandable imo. GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

" While you are right media is spinning it (no, it's extremely unlikely Trump will order a nuclear launch), no sane person would use them as a bargaining chip. There has been a lot of efforts (START treaty, for example) to reduce the number of nuclear weapons for a good reason. Those weapons should never be used. Trump is cynically pandering to the "tough" people out there. He just talks like a bully. Fear is no way to govern. Who the hell uses that kind of threat this days? North Korea?

You know what's a Hyperbole?
Trump doesn't give two shits about abortion and so on. He is a complete egomaniac. Simple example: He tries to pretend to be Pro Life and gain points but when asked if the woman should be punished he said yes. The Pro Life movement is about punishing the doctors because they "commit they murder" those are ancient catholic ideas. Their morale not punishing the woman is such as you want to see certain terrorist being dead. Trumps simplistic thinking doesn't understand what the background of certain ideas is. Those nuclear questions in debates are mainly asking where in the military will you invest because the Republican voters want to be prepared for worst case war scenarios. Trump being the idiot he is wants to polarize and takes harsher stances than the most lunatic candidates. IE >Waterboarding and now >Carpetbombing A normal rep candidate would say something such as: "Our enemies aren't states, they are terrorist groups we need to take down their leaders in seperate operations drone attacks/covert missions ...." Saying "Nukes aren't of the table" is just stupid. What would you gain to nuke ie Iraq/Syria aside from Nato and UN being mad at you. Even if you mention Nukes as a card to threaten others it's just on the level of North Korea. Who do you wanna threat? Russia? Good way to start a Cold War again and create an economical crsis in Europe. ISIS and other terrorist groups? They only hope for actions as nuking carpet bombing to get more recruits. The threats nowdays are on an economical level. "You shoot your own people no tanks/planes for you" "You stopped our imports for us so do we" The reality is that the republicans have several racists and extremists among themselves ~1/3 of the party falls into those categories. In a national election you have independants, crossvoters and so on. And do you think they will vote for Cruz/Trump? They gonna lose on a similar level to Jimmy Carter. The republicans had national electable candidates with McCain, Romney but they lost the minority votes because of ancient views. That's why Jebb was more moderate and Rubiobot the big hope of the party. But they can't get any voters because in the primaries you need to be famous or polarize to have a chance. Same thing with Democrats. O'Malley never had a chance because he didn't polarize and wasn't known. | |
