That because obviously fascists are right wing, ergo the "rightest" part is completely unnecesary heh. No one ever said a liberal fascist either...

I think it's because with "Leftist" the f-sound acts as a transitional buffer between the syllables. Comparatively, "Rightist" feels... incomplete, if that makes any sense.

It's weird, right? In theory, it should work as well from either direction. Most of the other descriptors do just fine from either side. "Righties" and "Lefties", "Right-Wingers" and "Left-Wingers"... but somehow, "Leftist" sounds correct while "Rightist" just sounds completely wrong.

I mean, try using it in conjunction with other common descriptors. "You Leftist fascist!" That sounds fine. "You Rightist fascist!" Sounds wrong, doesn't it? It just doesn't flow.

Language is Interesting.
Yeah, “leftist fascist” sounds about right Also “racist leftist” makes sense.

Incorrect. Leftist/liberals really are the fascist, and racist, see, here’s proof



Democrats are racist, you do know they founded the KKK, right?



No Biden, no KKK, no fascist USA!

Imagine wishing someone a happy birthday on a platform the person isn't even on. No matter how much of a fan you are of someone, this is pretty much an outright coming out party. And I thought the Sonic fans on this forum were weird.

Yes they did… however…! At the time the Democratic Party sat politically about where today’s Republican Party are, and the Republicans were roughly about where the Democrats are today. They literally flipped positions in a hundred years. So saying Democrats founded the KKK is disingenuous because it was founded by extreme right wing supporters of slavery pissed that they lost the Civil War. Had the Civil War happened now, Republicans are likely to have founded the KKK.

OP, what made you decide to choose being a Trump lover as your gimmick in 2022? You're 6 years too late I'd say. Being a Trump cultist in 2022 is just sad

Actually, being a Trump supporter in 2022 would be pretty relevant when considering the Mid-term elections.

I don't necessarily agree with the OP's positions or his occassional name calling of other forum members, but I admire his Nationalistic Zeal. We should talk more, 1987.

Perhaps we could be Allies.

Why, is he running again? First he'd need to win the election for becoming GOP's candidate. Is his party seriously going to field him again?

Anyway, I think the pandemic was what defeated Trump in the end. He dealt poorly with it and a pro of people lost their jobs and the economy suffered. Those are two things the American voters usually do not forgive.

Not everyone who voted for Trump was a die hard supporter of him. They just disliked Hilary more. The poor handling by Trump of the pandemic probably made lots of those voters vote for Biden this time. All it takes to win the American presidentials is winning most swing states.

100%, if not for the pandemic, Trump would have won.

Most Americans only care about having money in their pockets, they'll vote for whichever regime seems most likely to keep things economically stable. The economy was booming under Trump, until the pandemic. Once the shutdowns hit, that was the end.

And no, he didn't handle it well - he's a game show host, not an Actual Leader; if anything his "people" should have picked up the ball he fumbled, but they didn't, because none of them were ever on his side to begin with and not-so-secretly wanted him to fail and be embarrassed - but the Democrats and all of their fear-mongering made everything worse. All of their lies, spin and manipulation making it seem like people were falling down dead in the streets and corpses were being stacked up outside hospitals like cordwood is what ultimately did him in. If the thing had been presented and treated like what it really was from the beginning - Just A Flu Bug - then there would have been no shutdowns, the economy wouldn't have collapsed, and Trump still would have won.

So yeah, it was the pandemic. But more specifically, the Democrats' lies and exaggerations about the pandemic, making it seem like Covid was the new Bubonic Plague and that "Trump isn't taking it seriously!" was the REAL bullet. Honestly Trump handled it about as well as anyone ever could without being an idiot and leaning into the spin. He resisted mask mandates because masks are useless. He resisted shutdowns because it wasn't worth losing our entire economy over some people catching a bad cold.

But Dems never, ever let a tragedy go to waste. As soon as it all started, I was like, "These motherf*ckers are gonna ride this thing right into the White House." Sure enough...

Otherwise, Trump still would have won and we'd ALL be a lot better off right now. There's just no way to deny that without coming off as completely delusional. Like even if you HATE the guy, there's just no way to insist that things are "better" under Biden. They're appreciably, measurably worse. Unless you think Twitter is the sole measure of a person's character.

I made more money and had a better quality of life in those first three years than I'd ever had before in my entire adult life. So while the guy's admittedly a carny con man, I can't say anything bad at all about his Presidency. It treated me fine and was very, very entertaining, seeing him manipulate the easily-offended rubes and play the role of belligerent super-villain to the hilt. It was awesome.

Trump clearly is no leader. He's a reality show star. And in a dire moment like the pandemic, he was overexposed. He also didn't handle the riots problems properly. Not much he could have done, but Trump's statements mostly seemed to just add fuel to the fire.

Trump would have gotten by if things were going well without any major issues like a big war or a pandemic. Also, he wasn't surrounded by the most competent people either.

Bush was incredibly stupid, but he wasn't rude and aggressive like Trump in his speech and was actually surrounded by competent and dangerous people. Had Trump had the same administration as Bush did and he'd have fared a lot better, I guess. They'd be able to somewhat cover up his **** ups.

Trump was basically throwing tantrums on twitter like we've never seen any head of state do. If you check the social media accounts of different heads of state from around the world they all speak properly and don't write with caps lock on.

Trump basically didn't do any more damage because he did not rule a country that's a dictatorship. Not to mention he ruled a place that's too big to fall.

I'd like to give him credit for not ever firing nukes like a lot of people feared he would. I never thought he'd destroy the world when he got elected but there was a time in 2018-2019 where it seemed like he was about to go to war with North Korea. But then suddenly it was over and he is now friends with the North Korean guy. Maybe it was a work all along, who knows.

See, Bush's 8 years made me feel confident that Trump's tenure wouldn't be so bad. Because Bush wasn't the sharpest tack, but he was surrounded by so many people who DID know what they were doing that he was essentially protected. There were safeguards in place to ensure he'd never screw up or embarrass himself TOO badly.

I just kind of assumed they ALL had people like that around them, in order to "preserve the dignity of the office of the President", and all that. If the President looks bad, that has a trickle-down effect, so I figured, y'know... an incompetent loon like Trump could be effectively neutralized by just letting him make speeches and have other people doing all the real work. I was pretty sure that's how it actually worked.

And honestly it probably DOES work that way for everyone, but there was a lot of bitterness in the Republican party that he got the job over someone who was a "lifer", so rather than protect him they went out of their way to ensure he looked as bad as possible, even if that meant the entire party looked bad by association. So that was a real shortsighted move on their part.

and that’s exactly what the scamdemic was designed to do, make voters scared, stupid, and wanting to blame Trump for “killing grandmas” but there was so much lies and corruption by the left that was uncovered, i don’t even know where to begin. plus george soros’s dominion voting machines switching votes from Trump to biden didn’t help either.

so it was mainly the mean tweets that did it for ya

this is like literally word for word a cnn narrative lol.

what was Trump supposed to do, shut down travel from china? wouldn’t that be xenophobic? and the north korea thing was fabricated by the cia, they were hoping Trump or Kim Jong Un would pull the trigger and start a nuclear war, even went as far as making a movie about it starring america’s favorite commie celebrity, seth rogen.

if you truly believe all you just said there, then well, idk what else to tell ya. just keep drinking that cnn juice i guess, lol. “He’S lItErAlLy HiTleR!”

“vote blue no matter who!”
