Is it hard to understand why people are disgusted by him? If you can't acknowledge that, it's hard to have a conversation at all. His type of behavior and language brings out hate and revulsion in even the kindest people. If you don't get it, I don't know what to say. It has nothing to do with his politics or policy stances, it has to do with his behavior.

His type of behavior and language brings out hate and revulsion in even the kindest people. From what I see, the hate and revulsion is brought out primarily by confirmation bias due to (a) subjective reporting on his behavior and language and (b) gaps in factual knowledge. I assume there are people who are legitimately repulsed by his behavior, but I never see people actually explain themselves clearly. They always e…

If anyone is honestly questioning why people hate Trump (even a large portion of his own party hates him for his crass and dangerous behavior), there's been plenty of coverage over the years and it's easy to find. Claiming that people only have such opinions because of subjective journalism is simply wrong, because you don't need investigative reporting to find out about his bad behaviors - plenty of it has been recorded. You can determine a lot about the man's character just by watching some of his public appearances.

Anyone who has paid attention and isn't disgusted by Trump's behavior is either an immature, racist, or sexist person themselves, and sees it as normal and preferred, or they ignore it and it's ramifications because of some political goal.

Here's a list of some of his transgressions : https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the-complete-listing-so-...

Can anyone familiar with Twitter explain how people like Jeff Tiedrich, Eugene Gu, ToddlerTrump, TrumpOwO, etc, manage to be the first few responders to everything @realDonaldTrump tweets? (Edit) To expand on this, some of these accounts are clearly bots that just modify the text of the tweet. I can see how easy it would be to make these bots - but not how they manage to be the first responses so consistently. Surely…

Do those accounts really manage to get "frost pist" status? Their replies often appear first when you open a tweet from president Trump, but I assume replies are listed in order by some popularity measure and not chronologically.

I didn't have any luck with search so I'd be curious to know what "frost pist" status is or refers to?

A (presumably intended, as in satirical) misspelling of "first post".

That's been disproven.

I tried looking up how this has been disproven but couldn't find anything. Can you link?

Here's the clip of the mocking with no commentary: https://youtu.be/biTLe4qNykY?t=31

Make of it what you will - I have nothing to say about it - but it's more than the still image comparing the two people when you google it.

first post, but with some letters moved around, a popular form of discourse in general and as internet memes in particular

a google search does return some examples if you force it to

He did that before to non-disabled people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsaB3ynIZH4. It's obvious media manipulation by the left.

Trotsky used 'isms as a political weapon to rile up the useful idiots. Some people have learned from history while others have not.
