That seems a fair assessment.

Not terribly surprising considering this is an international place and Trump is... rather decidedly unpopular in most of the rest of the world, even among Conservatives. There's exceptions, of course, though.

No I expected to find some form of debate, rather than an echo of anti-Trump points of view.

I see you've heard of the internet, then.

Sorry this place is scary. I hear Animal Crossing is a wholesome good time where no one will challenge you on anything.

It's not that the GD threads are scary, they're hypocritically mislabelled and falsely advertised. You read the title and the first post and expect to find debates on Trump's policy plus the occasional meme (as he is a never-ending supply of those). You read on only to find out here know here intends on debating or intellectually discussing his policy, only stating their opinion and wait for someone else to state theirs so they can go again.

And your response is to demand it be made into a pro-Trump echo chamber instead.

Congratulations, you just learned what the vast majority of substance when it comes to debate and discussion is.

Also, how are we supposed to debate Trump saying it's a good idea to inject yourself with hand sanitizer to prevent and cure coronavirus?

Whine about it some more.

You don't have the stomach for the fight. That's cool. Others do.

Shit or get off the pot. This isn't the 'whine about how put upon Trump supporters are' thread. Maybe you were looking for r/Donald. Either way, be relevant.

I would rather prefer more Trumpers to post in this thread, if just for interest's sake.

Most of the people I see here who support him do so as a useful tool, memelord or chaos maker.

Edit: Also guys, calm down, don't all lynch the poor newcomer at once. No need to go off at 'em.

He'd need an actual doctrine in order for that to happen and the closest he has to that is "Do whatever makes the crowd clap."

Those aren't mutually exclusive categories. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that getting rid of the blithering idiot who wants you to shoot up bleach to fight the coronavirus is a necessary first step towards making America great again.

Well those that do support him are not posting much at the moment, because he has said things of such monumental stupidity that they can't defend.

Even Miami Shores isn't on saying Trump is right about drinking bleach... unless maybe he has drunk some bleach.

People reporting to the ER with chemical burns due to bleach exposure from holes other than mouth and explicitly stating that they ingested it because Trump said it was a cure, and that is all I will say on the matter in the name of maintaining some sort of decorum.
