...is too stupid to govern.

The "insult them and shame them until they join us" strategy isn't going to work.

Many people don't like Trump, but they like being smeared as a bunch of racists even less. They dislike and are repelled by the unfair and false rhetoric coming from the extreme left, which appears to be in control of the Democratic Party agenda.

If Trump supporters don't like being called racists, then they shouldn't support a racist like Trump. Too bad so sad, move along.

Precisely this. Then again, freedom of speech is a good thing for this particular reason; the public is thus informed of the hideous beliefs of a variety of people, and can shun them accordingly.
 
PJ Media?

Seriously?

A right wing trash blog that has a long history of echoing Trump’s race baiting is lecturing people about calling out their own editorial policy?

Nobody reads this trash other than Trumpsters, anyway.

IMO anyone who tries to demonize their opponents instead of directly addressing an issue has lost whatever argument they think they are making.

So while I might agree that labeling people racist, sexist, etc. is no argument, I have to point out that calling anyone "stupid" is also not an argument.

I think the American people are wearying of "If you don't agree with me, you're a racist."

From your source (and referring to a Beto O'Rourke remark):

This is really, really stupid. Most Americans don't hate Trump as much as most liberal Democrats do. Most Americans see through the hysterical exaggerations about Trump and many appear bewildered by the vitriol. Even if they don't like Trump -- and there are many reasons not to -- the Democrats' rhetoric offends their sense of fair play. Thus, every time Democrats go off on Trump, accusing him of all sorts of perfidy and hateful things, Trump probably gets another 10,000 votes.

Unlikely. Trump's 'popularity' has tanked.
 
If Trump supporters don't like being called racists, then they shouldn't support a racist like Trump. Too bad so sad, move along.

Or, everyday Americans can just view the propaganda the indoctrinated on the left are controlled with, and vote accordingly.

The bolded section is a reasonable assessment, and posits an interesting point of discussion.

That is negated when the target audience is labeled in such a way that they won't bother to consider it, so angered and focused are they on the labeling.

This has been my problem with many conversations in this Forum. That many members revert to school-yard bullying tactics of labeling and denigrating rather than arguing and discussing.

Once you've called someone "stupid," or "racist," or whatever, you have ended an argument and diverted to a personal dispute.

I agree with the bolded section of this citation. I think the tactics being used by the Democrats are backfiring on them, but they can't see it because the MSM supports such narratives and bolsters them because it sells news/views.

I pretty much expected the usual suspects to double down on the "you're all a bunch of racists" strategy. They should prepare themselves to be losers in 2020.

Yep, starting a thread complaining about transferring blame to others (guilt by association?) which uses that tactic to do so is precious.

"Usual Suspects"? Laughable.

At the end of the day, Trump supporters are the ones marching about peddling the white replacement nonsense. If they don't like being outbred by minorities, perhaps they should stop electing Republicants who's pro business trickle down absurdity has made child rearing a financial impossibility for many families.

The white replacement idea is something that Democrats have been peddling for some time. In fact, some of them are stupidly relying on this for the next election.

It's the Democrats who are always talking about race -- it figures into everything they say these days.

Again, this is a really dumb political strategy.

The title of the article is like it was written by a child. Only thing missing is "poopyhead" after stupid and that summarizes right wing childish mentality.

Republicans are racist assholes, and those that are not are complicit and perfectly OK with republicans pandering to racists

Keep whining, the racist scum will be permanently buried under the rocks you crawled out from under

Uh huh. Democrats love to name call, insult and denigrate their opponents until they really get clocked by some piquant observation that's right on the money, then they start whining about civility.

Of course, because it is the fact. I pretty much expect the usual suspect of right wing scum to defend racism

Neener neener!
 
Another Trump supporter victim complex whine thread.

Oh no, the guy we support says stupid stuff, sometimes racist stuff, most of the time, makes stuff up completely.

But pointing this out is really bad and will lose you votes.

Perhaps... if that is true, there’s something wrong with the voters.
 
Why would the strategy not work? This has been the strategy of Republicans for decades and we have certainly moved right over that time.

That's funny considering most of what comes out of Trump are lies and propaganda that you Trump supporters believe. :lamo

Sorry you hate facts that if you support a racist like Trump, than don't be surprised when you are called on. The only thing you have proven is me to be 100% correct. Maybe you should try getting the low-down on facts instead. :lamo

LOL

So say the orders from the propaganda ministries the left is required to adhere to.

PJMedia is stupid. Really DP??? You can't call posters stupid but you can call a whole party stupid in a thread? Reported!
 
LOL

Again you are misinformed and looking foolish. Trump's lies and propaganda are well documented. Maybe you like someone like Trump who is "in love" with a dictator like Kim, the rest of us are actually patriotic and denounce such ridiculous actions of Trump. Trump supporters are truly anti-American.

You believe citing a far right wing propaganda mill lends credibility to your asinine assertions?
