Wow, I just saw a bunch of clips from speakers at the RNC... granted it was from the Daily Show so I probably only got a select few clips, but that was terrifying man. How can people stand on stage and say such things? All the fear and hate mongering... It's hard to believe that they actually spoke like that.
Edit: Oh god I need to stay out of this thread, it is way too upsetting lol
Newt's speech was hilariously fear mongering, and I had to actually argue with someone on this thread that Europe is not on the brink of civil war like he claimed..

For example, asked about Russia’s threatening activities that have unnerved the small Baltic States that are the most recent entrants into NATO, Mr. Trump said that if Russia attacked them, he would decide whether to come to their aid only after reviewing whether those nations “have fulfilled their obligations to us.”

"The world doesn't trust us anymore! Oh yeah, all mandatory treaty agreements are now discretionary."
Lol

Given my experience with Florida police, the answer is probably yes. Given the tenor of the RNC, I doubt much will change in the short term.

'Liberals' at it once again - this time against a gay man who doesn't fit their agenda. Disgusting.

Remember, there is no systematic problem with US police force.

Lol, it's like SoSexy and Gotunk are conservative bots who troll politics threads by posting randomly generated, anti-liberal snippets without any context. Like someone in the Europe thread said, I guess it's a new kind of Tourette's.

Its like that twitter feed that used to be around “No Context Youtube Comments”.
It seems Trump doesn’t understand that the reason most of the EU didn’t develop nukes is because of the treaties we signed with them that we would retaliate if they were attacked. That the world was a better place if only the US and the USSR were in an arms race.
And that part of the reason treaties work is that we agreed to follow through on the agreement no matter which president made the deal. But I get that those concepts are to big picture for our current GOP nominee.

Are you talking about Milo?
You're right that being a patronizing, condescending, passive aggressive, incendiary, bigoted asshole is not a preferable "agenda" for most liberals, but him being gay has nothing to do with those words and actions of his. His sexual orientation is just a red herring. He's been banned from Twitter repeatedly for his crap because it's against the Terms of Service (this: https://support.twitter.com/articles/20170425 and this: https://support.twitter.com/articles/18311 at the very least).

Its almost like being gay doesn’t matter to liberals if you also happen to be a self serving, narcissistic asshole who dressed like a rejected power rangers villain.

Yeah, it's almost like the liberal perspective is that gay people are just people and should be treated and viewed like any other person.

You always think they can't be more incompetent than the last time. And then they manage to shoot an unarmed men lying on his back with his hands in the air, who calmly explains the situation beforehand.
Who the fuck trains those cops? What are their procedures that allow for that to happen? To be honest, if i were in the US, i would be scared as hell when dealing with cops. There does not seem to be anything you can do to prevent them from shooting you. I guess being white helps. But it really shouldn't.
Why are there even cops with assault rifle responding to a call of someone threatening suicide?
There is no harm in taking help when you need it. There are lots of countries with competent police forces who manage to barely ever shoot unarmed people. Take a look at how those work. Steal their training routines. Steal their procedures. This shit is a disgrace. Fix it.
It should be possible to interact with the police without a constant threat of being shot for no apparent reason, because the cop flipped out and got scared by a passing dog or whatever.

Probably the best you are going to get. This thread is certainly not conservative friendly based on the majority of posts I've read.

It's a lot friendlier to reasonable, intelligent posters imho. So I'd think we'd get more people like that. Of course such people tend to be quieter in general on forums.

Nah, posters like xDaunt, Introvert, oBlade, and Clutz are pretty clear examples that being a conservative poster doesn't mean that one has to resort to acontextual proclamations of disgust. Funnily enough, those sorts of posts increased alongside Trump's ascension. Not a coincidence, I think

I think a fair amount of team loyalty contributed to it. I know plenty of people who were disgusted by Trump and now sing his praise now that he's the nominee. It's weird. It's like the things they used to think suddenly don't matter.
It's like some sorta tribal weird shit where if you kill the leader, you are now the loved leader.

Anything but the democrats is certainly not something hard to understand.

If "anything but the Democrats" were all that is required, then we wouldn't be having one of the most contested RNCs in history.

I have the same feeling for the vast majority of the Republicans in government.
