I think the causation is flipped BTW.  I don't think people are drawn to Trump because they like the idea of inflicting pain on others.  I think Trump likes the idea of inflicting pain on others ("beat the crap out of him") and insinuates those ideas to people who support him.
Nah, there are quite a few who support him because he "pisses off the right people".

The cruelty is the point. This isn't a new concept, it's been around forever.

I think there is a constituency in the US that fetishizes political violence.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The problem I have with trying to understand the other side these days is that their information is so different than mine. We have so little to base an understanding on.

There's little to understand. Republicans are retarded assholes. Republican voters picked Trump as their guy, and Republicans in Congress only have one complaint: that they can't physically get sodomized by Trump and blow him at the same time.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Well there was that gay reporter Andy Ngo who was beaten up in Portland by them. So in a sense Raz is right, in Trump's America reporters are being beaten up in the street.  :hmm: Then I remember vaguely that nutcase who shot all those Republican lawmakers at a baseball field.

Tell, us in detail, what you think should happen to "Islamoids" (your word), to prevent them becoming of a terrible threat to the West?

I wonder what's the voting record/ideology of the overwhelming majority of mass shooters in the US.

A real mystery!

Well the one who assassinated a Democratic lawmaker 10 years ago, can probably be guessed at.  Also he wrote a "manifesto" with it.  Actually it was a few lines, apparently he decided to commit the shooting before discovering that writing is hard.

The Rikiforingi SS seems awfully bothered by rights of "Enemies of the People".  Seems odd he would be so concerned about the media.


I'm pretty sure that mashing to Icelandic words together like that isn't kosher, but when you put it like that I doubt he'd mind.

The number of House Democrats favoring impeachment has increased by 24.  This source attributes it to the Mueller hearing.
