Nothing deplorable going on here

If this is true, these people are repulsive.
 
I typically dont take screenshots or snips at face value without being able to view the source. That said I'd find it awfully sad for that many people in a row to say such horrible things without anyone challenging them.

No need, just go to any pro-Trump page and see for yourself.
Do you need some links or can you just google "pro-Trump"?
 
Well there are fine people on both sides.
 
In order for unethical policies to gain support the people those policies target must be dehumanized. Clearly those posters do not see that child as a human being.

They are great at it. J-mac and Xfactor are in the other thread calling peaceful protestors violent animals or sub-animals.

I'm pretty sure they're trolls, 4chan style.

At least, I'd hope that is the case.

Do you find "awfully sad" the existence of folks who recognize as indefensible that which is?

Are you of the mind that merely because one can challenge something, it thus is fitting to do so?
 
Trump brings out the worst in people and he brings out the worst of people. Pure evil attracts sick bastards and social lice, fringe hangers on, who will do damn near anything to be accepted into a group. I'm not saying that all members of the Trump cult are sick bastards and social lice. I am saying that Donald Trump is a magnet for those kinds of degenerates.

The Trump cult is easy to join. There is only one requirement, allegiance to Trump. You don't have to know what the hell Trump is talking about because Trump doesn't know either. Critical thinking skills are a hindrance in the Trump cult. No problem as no one wants to hear reason and logic. Certainly it helps if you are a belligerant asshole. It helps if, as with Trump, you have no capacity for empathy or compassion. None. If you have no moral fiber and you cannot be trusted, if money and celebrity are your God you will be welcomed. That's it. Finally for these losers there is a club in which they can be welcomed.

What dullard, outcast, sick ****er, racist, bigot wouldn't be attracted to a cult whose mentally disturbed leader legitimizes some of the most despicable attitudes and behaviors in the human race?

"First they came for the Jews ..."

So yeah, are the comments in the OP disgusting? Of course. As much as we'd like to believe the comments aren't real, experience tells us the comments probably are real.

Quite possibly. There are many websites out there dedicated to not only saying only good about "their side" but there are also websites out there that are dedicated to making the other side look as horrible as possible. Up to and including impersonating/acting like they are pro-<insert whatever group here> in order to make it seem that the other side is filled with horrible people. There's a reason that there is such a thing as POE's Law.

I once visited a forum that was dedicated to "supporting" (note the quotes there) McCain when he was running for Prez. They did pretty much the same exact thing as shown in the OP. After awhile I found out that the forum was ran completely by 2 people who posted as different "people" via sock accounts. Their whole goal was to do nothing more than discredit McCain.

I'm going to call "bullcrap" on that. For starters, there's different levels of support for Trump.

Things can be photoshopped quite easily. Do YOU believe everything you see on the internet?

Because right above that it was shown that the cage and the photo were staged in 2014. They were making fun of the picture by being over the top for it.

I'm not questioning that this sort of behavior happens. I question sources that can be easily doctored or made up. One of the texts is larger than the other, which points to editing to me. If an entire discussion is based of one picture, that picture should have weight behind it.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking here. If you're wondering if I find the comments themselves horrid, I do.

After seeing Lewandowski's "womp womp" moment yesterday I'm convinced 4chan has taken over American Conservatism.

Yeah, let's not forget the liberal Hollywood's response to Trump and his family ...

I hadn't noticed that but you're right. While the text that is "said" could be of varying sizes the names attached to those messages would all be the same size on most messaging systems which that appears to be...a messaging system, not a forum. So you may be right, its edited.

Kathy Griffin is not president. Her act made her unpopular with liberals. When Trump goes full 4chan it only makes him more popular with his base.
