**OFFICIAL Donald J. Trump vs. Joseph (Joe) R. Biden Thread - 2020 Presidential Election**

[Dan Druff]

Good thing people on the left are too smart to fall for political grifter scams.

Well, except for Gamergate.

Well, also except for the Minnesota Freedom Fund.

Well, also except for The Lincoln Project.

But... you know... they're very smart and educated and couldn't ever be manipulated via their obsessive political identities.

Gamergate? Is that when the white incels threw yet another temper tantrum against women?

Lincoln Project? You mean when well off RINOs and Democrats spent fun money to troll Trump?

No idea what the Minnesota thing is but if it offends your sensibilities then it's probably pretty funny.

Anyhow, lemme know when a Democrat loses an election for POTUS and then raises 250 million from a bunch of idiots while advocating literal treason.

Let's try that again.

Gamergate - Where career scammers with a documented history of grifting took advantage of well-off liberals like you, who donated to "help persecuted female gamers", when in reality they made up stories and were caught/exposed for it, even by fellow leftists like David Pakman. Basically scammers realized that there was a guilty white liberal segment of the population who would send them hundreds of thousands of dollars if they pretended that big, bad, male incel gamers were saying mean and nasty things to them. Hook. Line. Sinker.

Lincoln Project - Where Bush-era GOP rejects were bitter that nobody wanted to work with them anymore, so they came up with a gimmick of "responsible Republicans who need to do the right thing and defeat Trump", and again, lots of guilty white liberals opened up the pocketbook to donate to the cause. Then it was found out that 81% of the money raised went to "administrative expenses". Oops. This was pointed out by right-wing zealot Steven Colbert, by the way.

Minnesota Freedom Fund - I agree, it was hilarious. Kamala Harris, Hollywood liberals, and even some guilty well-off poker pros promoted it as a noble fund meant to bail out wrongfully arrested peaceful protesters in Minnesota. Then $35,000,000 rolled in. Then they refused to account for where any of the money went, or what plans they had to spend it, while actual arrested protesters sat in jail without assistance. Then they finally started spending the money -- on bailing out serial rapists for $700k a pop, and other fine human beings like that. Money well spent! You can still donate, if you like. I'm sure there are some more serial rapists who need your help.

PARTY OF LOGIC AND SCIENCE WHO NEVER FALLS FOR SCAMS!!!!

Is this your excuse for being a supporter of a constitution-shredding, government funds-funneling-to-his-family-businesses, white supremacist-encouraging, wannabe-dictator who is still trying to destroy democratic election of the POTUS so that he can keep grifting the country and avoid numerous federal criminal prosecutions?

If you're a good white leftist, the most important thing is that you feel good about yourself. You aren't like those other racist, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, misogynistic other white people! No, no, no! You're a good person who can look at yourself in the mirror every day and pat yourself on the back for your high level of empathy and sensitivity!

This is especially true if you're well off. It's very bad and evil to have a lot of money, and it's even more bad and evil to enjoy that money. The only way you can atone for that sin is to vote Democrat, claim support for woke causes, and declare that everything and everyone is racist. That makes up for your wealth and privilege, and you can enjoy it without guilt, you see.

Remember, the object is to feel like a good person, not necessarily to actually help anything or anyone. If you do help, that's great, but it's secondary to feeling great about yourself.

For example, if you donated to one of the Gamergate scammers, you can still feel good about yourself. Sure, you were taken advantage of by someone with a super-shady history and phony stories of victimization, but the important thing is that you gave money to support feminism!

If you donated to The Lincoln Project, it doesn't matter if 81% of the money was stolen by the guys behind it, claiming "administrative expenses". The important thing is that you gave money to help defeat Trump!

If you donated to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, it doesn't matter if the money meant for peaceful protesters ended up being used to bail out serial rapists. What matters it that you FELT that you were helping people protesting racist police, and that's all that matters!

Friends, remember, results don't matter. When it comes to being a good white leftist, it really is the thought that counts.

[Dan Druff]

Do you guys remember that annoying douche Milo Yiannopoulos?

How do you think he rose to prominence?

Believe it or not, it was because of Gamergate. The libs were running from pillar to post decrying the "horrible treatment" of Anita Sarkeesian and other supposed female gamers, and at first, nobody had the balls to step up to call it the scam it was. Enter Milo, then an unknown gay Brit, with aspirations of being a social media star. Milo started showing up on internet programs and TV shows debating Gamergate, and pretty much owned everyone because the facts were on his side. It turned out that the entire thing was a scam, and every high profile "victim" receiving donations was either an outright scammer or someone who greatly exaggerated/morphed their story.

Finally leftists like David Pakman even jumped aboard, and rightfully called out Gamergate as being completely full of shit. This was in 2014. Six years later, we unfortunately have leftists like rum dick who didn't get the memo, and really thought that this was all about right-wing incels who couldn't stand women in their video games.

Milo ended up a conservative hero for completely owning heads in the Gamergate thing, and he then went forth to develop a new "dangerous idiotic" (his words, not mine) persona which was unbearable. Eventually he publicly defended the concept of grown men molesting 13-year-old boys, and that was that.

But it's funny how a hack like Milo was able to rise to prominence because the left was so delusional about Gamergate. He simply appeared on shows, spouted simple facts, and the histrionic "OMG MUH FEMINISM" leftists debating him fell apart.

Ironically, both groups consider moderate Republicans like yourself to be RINOs, while you think the same of them.

Strange times.

I don't care what they consider me to be.

I am still a conservative as I always have been, and my core conservative beliefs are the same. Any idiot calling me a "RINO" would see that my actual views on the issues are almost all right or center-right, which I'm sure you'd agree to be the case.

At the same time, some of the so-called Never Trumpers in the GOP like "The Lincoln Project" just spout left wing talking points when criticizing Trump, which clearly makes them not real Republicans.

Then you have guys like rum dick who claim to be "Republican until 2016", even though every single one of his opinions seem to be clearly left, and I remember him holding essentially the same views about 10+ years ago.

Being a "real Republican" means holding conservative political views which roughly correlate to the current time period. It doesn't depend upon supporting any particular candidate or recent trend.

Of course there will be morons MAGA fanatics who will call me a RINO, but that's not anything like my skepticism of fake conservatives who start every sentence with, "I'm a conservative, but...", followed by some clear left wing talking point.

God remember when I was pro-life? Fuck I was dumb then.

[Dan Druff]

God remember when I was pro-life? Fuck I was dumb then.

I don't remember that.

I actually remember having political debates with you on NWP in the 2000s, and you trotted out the "but I'm actually a Republican" line, while not seeming to be a Republican at all.

That's why I'm legitimately surprised to have read claims that you were a Republican until 2016.

I also don't understand how hatred for Trump could have fundamentally shifted your basic political views so radically. If you were an 18-year-old moron, that would be easy to understand. However, you don't seem like the type to shift all of your views on a dime, just because the GOP nominated someone you dislike.

I actually was a Republican then. As for why I'm not anymore, picture a world where you're a Democrat and Johnny Depp is elected President as a Democrat. And he and his weird friends and family proceed to shit all over everything and all of the other democrats, except for Bernie (he's the Mitt Romney/Ben Sasse in that reality) do everything to enable Johnny's temper tantrums and his worst impulses including and especially being grossly subservient to him.

Now picture Johnny Depp legitimately losing re-election and then doing everything he could to ruin America's electoral system on the way out of town while also encouraging Americans to fight other Americans because he's mad about losing.

No way you'd still be a Democrat after that, right? In fact, you'd probably be thinking wtf is your party thinking nominating Johnny Drop to be their candidate for POTUS in the first place. Sure he's rich, popular and successful but wtf does he know about the world much less the USA.

I don't see a difference between a Donald Trump and a Johnny Depp.

As soon as a piece of shit coddled celebrity rapist took control of the GOP, I reevaluated my worldview and realized I was wrong about a good number of things. I made changes. And the last 4 years have only served to convince me I made the right choice to abandon my old party and my dumb way of thinking.

Tldr - when one party literally becomes Idiocracy, it's time to fucking bail on said party and never look back.

MAGA supporting the Blue...

[duped_samaritan]

Yes. And I don't want to get into a Russia debate again. I tired of that years ago. There was no collusion. It was more along the lines of, "You have dirt on Hillary? Okay, great. Feel free to share it."

100% Hillary and her people would have done the exact same thing. Remember all of the cheating of Bernie? Remember the bugging of Trump's office?

Russia did attempt to interfere, but all on their own, and it's not even clear if they shifted a sizable number of votes. Mind you, in the 2020 election, China and Iran were trying to interfere, but on Biden's side. That's what foreign governments do.

There was no collision that we know because Trump and the rest of team retard were too incompetent to collude with Russia. They sure wanted to though. But 100% Trump obstructed justice.

'collusion' isn't a word Mueller used since it has no legal definition, but yeah, there was. There just wasn't enough evidence for a federal indictment. And no, Druff didn't read the report.

Kilimnik = Russian intelligence officer
Manafort = Trump campaign chairman

Kilimnik flew back to Kiev from Moscow, and on that
same day, wrote to Manafort that he needed “about 2 hours” for their meeting “because it is a long
caviar story to tell.”918 Kilimnik wrote that he would arrive at JFK on August 2 at 7:30 p.m., and
he and Manafort agreed to a late dinner that night.919 Documentary evidence—including flight,
phone, and hotel records, and the timing of text messages exchanged920—confirms the dinner took
place as planned on August 2.

Manafort and Kilimnik discussed a plan to resolve the ongoing political problems in Ukraine

That plan, Manafort later acknowledged, constituted a “backdoor” means for Russia to control eastern Ukraine

Manafort briefed Kilimnik on the state of the Trump Campaign and Manafort’s
plan to win the election.930 That briefing encompassed the Campaign’s messaging and its internal
polling data. According to Gates, it also included discussion of “battleground” states, [redacted] which
refer explicitly to “battleground” states in his telling of the August 2 discussion,
Manafort identified as Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota.

Trump (same week his campaign chair met with Russian Intelligence Officer):
"But you know, the people of Crimea, from what I've heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were."

The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion.

the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome

Everything quoted is from the report.

Nice to see that you hate Johnny Depp so much, but aside from that, I'm not getting a lot from the above.

We pretty much had the same identical conversation on NWP, circa 2007. I expressed some conservative viewpoint, you countered it with the exact opposite view, I said something about "liberals like you", and you replied that you were a Repubican.

I remember scratching my head and wondering how a "Republican" seemed to have so many views which aligned with the left.

Of course, back in those days, I was more concerned with whether Nado_Dave was really from Coronado or not, so I didn't put much further thought into it. But I do clearly remember having such an exchange.

Your little Depp alternate-universe story was cute, but it didn't mean much. If your deeply held political beliefs can be uprooted because they nominate one politician you hate, then those weren't your real beliefs in the first place. This is because politics are largely a reflection of your personality and worldview. That doesn't snap-change because you're temporarily unhappy with your party.


For example, let's say Republicans nominated Klaus Jewhater, a neo-Nazi, for President in 2024 to run against Kamala Harris.

I would be very disappointed in my party. I wouldn't vote for Klaus Jewhater. I might even leave the party completely, and join the libertarians or something.

However, you know what I wouldn't do? I wouldn't suddenly declare that all of my previously-held conservative views were wrong. I wouldn't suddenly be of the belief that higher taxes, identity politics, 9-month abortions, and 3-year-old trans women are all A-OK with me. I wouldn't be donating to the Minnesota Freedom Fund to bail out serial rapists.

I would still despise Klaus Jewhater and everything he stood for, but this wouldn't change my core beliefs of right and wrong.

If you really were Republican, don't you think it's possible that you weren't completely wrong for the first 40+ years of your life?

Can you tell us some of your conservative beliefs prior to 2016, and why they're different now?
