Poll: 42% Of Trump Voters Support Assaulting Journalists - Polidicks

[QUOTE=MrRalgoman;52366782]It would be interesting to find out the percentage of liberals that would support violence against trump supporters or trump himself. Also, what's the comparison of [I]actual[/I] violence from liberals vs trump supporters? [editline]16th June 2017[/editline] Also, the poll is talking about body slamming? Is it specifically talking about the recent incident with the audio of the guy who pushed the reporter? Or something else?[/QUOTE] Funny. You can't deal with the thread at hand do you'll try and turn into "but liberals are super violent" without anything to go on at all By the fucking way? He didn't "push" the reporter, he choke slammed him and you're doing fucking damage control about that rather than being honest

And they're increasingly starting to strike me as null words because they're almost always followed up by things that are not actually things that would be or are interesting, they're followed up by thinly veiled tribalistic agenda pushing like "It would just be interesting to see some more information about [YOUR TRIBE HERE]" While talking about statistics that don't look good for a certain tribe "I just think it's interesting how [YOUR TRIBE HERE] does an awful lot of [YOUR OBJECTIONABLE THING HERE]" Most often seen in relation to things like race and religion. Mostly two or three specific ones "It would just be interesting to know more about [YOUR TRIBE HERE]" "It's just interesting how people believe [YOUR TRIBE HERE] but not [THE OTHER TRIBE HERE]" And y'know what I just think that's real [I]interesting[/I]

[QUOTE=MrRalgoman;52366782]It would be interesting to find out the percentage of liberals that would support violence against trump supporters or trump himself.[/QUOTE] I googled around for any polls and couldn't find anything. Either attacks on trump supporters are actually really really small or nobody is asking questions like that.

Lmao. Idk why you guys even bother trying to talk sense into Mr. Ralgoman or nesto, one of whom is banned and the other would probably equate a gunshot from Trump as a "pushed the reporter like me and my mates used to do" Guaranteed if there was another event with "those damn liberals" involved, both of them would be up in arms posting biased sources left and right like they were bullied in highschool.

Why is anyone trying to defend this? This is abhorrent, no way around it.

Sorry I wasn't trying to downplay it at all, I just hadn't heard much about it other than the audio... I also find this polling very disturbing. I certainly do not want violence against reporters, and any trump supporters I know don't support violence against reporters or anyone for that matter. Why is it so bad to ask the exact same question but of the opposite side?

And that Lorreta Lynch and Tim Kaine wanted blood on the streets (DEBUNKED by The Daily Caller(!))[/QUOTE]

That's the kind of climate we live in now, where a subset of our population is so unthinkably ignorant and stupid that they will allow an obese pig with no political knowledge convince them that an American institution who has a right to exist must be violently removed. It's sad, the American people become dumber and more self-destructive with each passing year. It'll all come crashing down one day if we don't take steps to reverse this mental degradation. The next generation must be educated properly to prevent further damage. More surprising than this is that people continue to try to actually debate with nesto. He's clearly either intentionally trolling or is a legit paid shill. Block and move on.

You don't need to ask it because the other side isn't currently having it's [B]literal elected representatives be charged with fucking assault.[/B] It's not relevant, it's not important. What is important is that you ask the question now, before you even think about confronting what your "side" has already fucking condoned. [editline]16th June 2017[/editline] Like, I wanna know, why did you even use the word "Push"? That's clearly a manipulation of the narrative and the story, and you should frankly be asking yourself why you're falling for that

They would probably try to jump off a cliff to float if their orange god said "gravity is fake science fact" or some bullshit. Really, the difference right now seems to be that a massive amount of 45's supporters would say that "the politician/reporter deserved it, our violent talk is just talk/what we are thinking, LOCK HER UP" or some other asinine comment, while the left and independents would back the fuck away from someone advocating violence and denounce them quickly.

Half of Trump's supporters are degenerates. Not surprising in the least. So Hillary was actually right.

[QUOTE=archangel125;52370888]Half of Trump's supporters are degenerates. Not surprising in the least. So Hillary was actually right.[/QUOTE] I mean, people don't realize that there were more Americans that didn't vote than there were Americans that did vote. "Half are despicable" doesn't mean half the population. First, you start with 321.4 million. Then you realize only 128,838,341 votes were cast for either Hillary or Trump in the general election - about 40%. You've already discounted almost 60% of the U.S. population. Split that by the 46.1% vote share Trump got, with 62,984,825. Split it again by 50% and you have 31,492,413 - out of 321.4 million people. That's [I]less than 10%[/I] of the U.S. population. Hillary called ~9.7% of Americans "despicable," not 50%, not 25%. Still an unbelievably stupid move in an unbelievably poorly-run campaign. But not as drastic as people made it out to be. I'd wager that 10% of Americans are really fucking stupid, because if you're in the 10th percentile on a test you're pretty fucking stupid.
