So... A handful of personal anecdotal evidence? I did indeed notice a couple of voices saying that kinda thing. They were notable for being borderline unique though. You say you could go on, and I'd love for you to do so. You've given two examples, I bet you can't hit ten. Seriously, even if it's random FB screenshots or twitter posts from nobodies. Trump may have pulled a small group from democrats to republicans, but it was not a statistically significant movement.

In 2004 John Kerry was put foreward as the alternative to Bush Jr. and, um, how about NO! Personally, I preferred the Texasshat to the Masshole because Bush Jr. was the lesser of two evils.

As for Biden (and Trump) getting more votes than Obama did: "No More Trump" and "We Want Trump" convinced a lot of people who otherwise wouldn't vote to vote instead of taking a nap on election day.
You seem to be forgetting the whole "no more blood for oil" stuff and how Democrats were convinced that Bush Jr. was literally Hitler for invading Afghanistan and Iraq and had totally tricked them into going along with it, not to mention the Patriot Act. They were just as hysterical back then about it.

I remember being inundated with anti-Bush Jr. rhetoric almost 24-7 back then; everyone from Alex Jones to John Stewart was telling me that the man was trying to destroy America. Heck, Obama's entire campaign was built upon promising to undo the damage he'd done to our country; so color me surprised when he spent his two terms perpetuating the conflict in the Middle East, extending the Patriot Acts, and just in general continuing on with everything the Democrats said Bush Jr. shouldn't have done in the first place (along with committing his own atrocities).

There's a reason I called him a Texasshat.

Someone's owed taxes but it's the reverse.
From TFA the reason for contesting the refund is one which looks good in a press release but doesn't carry much, if any, legal weight.

I just love how transparent he is and speaks his mind. Some of the first real clarity we ever really had in politics. We couldn't have that though could we...... :(

Muh mean tweets.


To understand why that drove left wingers nuts and conservatives and libertarians shrugged you have to understand the different mindset involved.


The right thinks of human beings as being inherently selfish and self interested. essentally every one is born a fuck up and society and experience help you become less of a fuck up, and you need to check people because every one has an agenda.

The left thinks that human beings are inherently good and that society and circumstance corrupt them.


you would think the left would be the kinder more gentle force and you would be wrong.

If you think everyone is by nature a fuck up you tend to be more forgiving when people make mistakes, or they have a few shitty choices in their past. Life is a learning experience and some people learn the hard way if you have decided to grow up and be a better person then as long as its nothing that crosses the line it can be put in the past.

But it every one is born good and they fuck up then they have been tainted.

Now take this mindset and put it into politics now turn it quasi religious.....


And now you understand why things are fucked.

Its more than that, they think people are completely blank slates, despite all the evidence otherwise. This is why they deny femininity and masculinity.
