. I have a suspicion that the people who think this about Trump and Putin are middle aged men who live their lives vicariously through them which is more than a little sad.
i reckon you're on the money here jegga. and i would speculate a more general case with conspiracy theorists as a whole (hence the overlap with putin/trump support).
sad bitter people whose lives haven't turned out how they would have liked, and want to blame someone else. then extend that to blaming others for everything... everything is a conspiracy, then everything is the fault of a corrupt elite and mainstream media lies, and and everybody else is a gullible fool except me!
and then come the lizards.
why the lizards would bother emasculating middle-aged nobodies remains a mystery though.This is exactly the steaming pile of patronising, arrogant, horse manure that has turned people towards Trump. It is almost as if those who dont like Trump have taken a lesson from his supporters on how to make stupid comments.
Posts like yours and Jeggas are exactly why they high ground in this election is nearly impossible to find. The opponent says something dumb or offensive? Retards solution? Up the ante! Even if it means bringing race and gender.... White middle class males... they are always fair game.
nobody said white or middle class except you mate, but you can take it as a personal attack if you like.
-
Why would I see it as a personal attack?
I see it as the usual retarded nonsense that has become more and more the norm int his election. As each side tries to out retard the other. -

The best bit about this thread is the way people have slowley let their crazy show. And then they desperately try roll it back every 20 posts or so. Its like ranting about the Jews / blacks / immigrrants / women & how they are scum, then every 10 posts going "not all of them, I have a black friend."
Then after 50 odd pages those rolll backs are coming less & less. Like the way 20 odd pages into climate change a poster on the odd side finally went "well the lord god made the world 6000 years ago.." and it was "Oh! there it is". Frank started out 30 pages back posting pretty solid stuff, he is now calling out satanism.
This whole thread is like that for finding out if posters are bigots, morons, belive conspiracy theories etc.
I know, I know.. the irony.

Gotta pull you up there - it isn't even the best part of this site.
Or have you forgotten The Sapphic Adventures of @Mokey and Her Large Breasted Hong Kong Sex Slave?

Want a friendly bet? If Trump wins you change your Avatar(the G) and the sentence below each one of your posts to what I want for 6 months. And I do it if Clinton wins.
Change to Trump? I can buy that. before the last switch of site my Avatar was an animated GIF of Hitler.
Actual Hitler. Mid Nuremberg speech.
Its only basic laziness that has stopped me putting him back on. So Trump would be a pretty solid switch out

Long story short. Facebook Adsense plays per click. Bunch of teens in Macedonia twigged best way to get clicks is to set up fake news sites & post fake Trump news - ie news Trump supporters will like. And click. And share.
"For example, the most successful post BuzzFeed News found from a Macedonian site is based on a story from a fake news website. The headline on the story from ConservativeState.com was “Hillary Clinton In 2013: ‘I Would Like To See People Like Donald Trump Run For Office; They’re Honest And Can’t Be Bought.’” The post is a week old and has racked up an astounding 480,000 shares, reactions, and comments on Facebook. (To put that into perspective, the New York Times’ exclusive story that revealed Donald Trump declared a $916 million loss on his 1995 income tax returns generated a little more than 175,000 Facebook interactions in a month.)"
Four of the five most successful posts from the Macedonian sites BuzzFeed News identified are false. They include the false claim that the pope endorsed Trump, and the false claim that Mike Pence said Michelle Obama is the “most vulgar first lady we’ve ever had.” Those four posts together generated more than 1 million shares, reactions, and comments on Facebook. That resulted in huge traffic and significant ad revenue for the owners of these sites, with many people being misinformed along the way.
On the one hand that a 17 year old Macedonian has seen a business option this good & gone for it is cool, on the other hand it 100% relies on people being so partisan they lean way over into stupid.

Okay I'll have Clinton for 6 months if she wins and you have Trump.Can you both not? Sick to death of the sight of them both.
Yeah what we need is a Trump Zealot and a Clinton Zealot going on about the election for another 6 months....
Although those 2 posters making a bet about this election is a nice summation of the stupidity of it all...

Two sides of the same coin

The pictures have to be shockers.
Trump's should be one with his shirt off (perhaps pasted on that picture of Putin on the horse)and Clinton's can be one of those older ones where she was all mousey hair and glasses (or maybe a picture of Chelsea).

538 has Clinton getting an uptick leading into voting day, now forecast as 69% vs 31% polls only,
Nate also tweeted that FL has now gone slightly blue, however its still too close to say a Clinton probable win.
I cant see PA as a risk for Clinton - shes convincingly led the polls there since polling started.
