100%. Look I’m not a Trump cheerleader I’m a conservative all my life. I don’t always agree on the way Trump puts things but I like his policies and similar to you I tend to agree what he says. I also dont like politics and normally never do this but this is something that hasn’t happened since Reagan so it’s scary that a assassination was an inch away from occurring and a 50 year old family man was murdered .

I'm a former conservative, I won't go into the litany of ways Trump is not true to conservative values and infact conservative values often make no sense and " Conservatives don't really mean what they say, just say whatever to gain power. I don't like politics but I'd rather be in a tent with people who disagree with me instead of the modern Republican party. You mention Reagan, Reagan today would be labeled a liberal RINO. When Trump is reelected it's going to be scary and disgraceful, circa Argentina and Chile in the 70s.

. I disagree that the modern Republicans have changed radically that’s just a narrative networks like CNN spin which is probably why their viewership is at the bottom. Look Trump is definitely brash and goes too far with things he says sometimes but i think why many support him is that he doesn’t back down. Yesterday was another example, comes within an inch of getting his head blown off but still let’s the crowd know he is ok and to keep fighting fir what they believe in. People who hate him are going yo hate him so nothing will change that. But I think when it comes to policy and State of the country that where I stand

Perhaps you can't see it but Trump is a Populist, not a conservative. If you followed or studied Trump for any length of time you would understand that he has thrived through the media his entire life.....first as a socialite, then in real estate/casinos, then various last name branding exercises such as wine, buildings, golf courses, books, university (now even a Trump Bible, NFTs and Sneakers) etc. then as a reality personality, then a Democrat, then running as an Independent, then as a Republican, then with his own social media platform. He has generally gone with which way offers him the best individual opportunity, generally without any moral conviction. Example....the guy who likely has not followed any type of religion or scripture is currently hucking Trump Bibles.

. Yes I can see it and yes I have followed Trump through this career but thanks …I guess. Anyway when it comes Down to him I love our history even the tough times and I love my country. He’s the candidate who most aligns with my views and it’s not even close. Some hate him and that’s their right but I stand by my decisions

You haven't really expressed anything of substance regarding why you love Trump or what policies or principles you align with other than he's a tough guy. And when peope bring up something you just say you disagree without counter facts or even opinions. Frustrating and difficult to have a conversation when all someone is countering with is blind admiration for a politician.

. When did I say I love Trump? I dint remember ever saying that? When did I say he was a tough guy? I simply said he doesn’t back down. The reason why I haven’t go into it is because obviously the board leans very left so I don’t want to get into arguments. But I’d you want to know I really liked Trumps Border policies because the border is quite frankly a disaster and I’m sick of seeing women getting killed like Laken Riley by an illegal. There were no wars and peace in the middle east which i liked. I can keep going but again I really don’t want to talk politics I want to talk Knicks. The only reason I posted in here because yesterday was a terrible event and no matter political affiliation I felt this was the one time we can unite and realize violence against any Candidate and innocent Americans is wrong. Now I do blame myself because I should’ve just said my peace and left so I’ll take ownership of that. My main point is really I really like this forum it’s been really fun and especially seeing the Knicks become a contender and it’s exciting for all of us. I’m liking forward to enjoying it with everyone and god willing winning a title

So you hate women don’t think they deserve the right to their own bodies? You’re a racist ? Or you’re in the top percent financially and don’t want to pay the same percentage as the middle class?

Dude if your none of those things then why on earth would you vote for that idiot ? The trump bible??? You think Donald freaking trump ever stepped into a church on his own will what a phony lol . If this man wins he is going to destroy the fabric of our nation .

People who follow trump are the same people that would join a cult… get real man be a real American and vote for someone else trump is the least American person to ever run for president. He is a disgrace to this nation a disgusting human being a felon, a cheater, a liar, corrupt,and a phony . He doesn’t give a f u c k about you he is all about trump and that is it.

I’d rather you vote for RFK at least the guy has compassion and still has conservative views. You should look into him. He’s like trump but smarter and cares about the environment and the people lol.

. I knew this type of attack was coming so not surprised just surprised it took so long.

I personally don't agree with the style of how this poster expressed what he said. I know conservatives and most are not haters of women or are racist. But I also see a pattern on your part of being quick to play the victim and say your being attacked or making things out to be personal. You want to engage in discussions of a political nature, you did it, we didn't force you to write did we ? You exaggerate how someone disagrees with you to make arguments about yourself and not about the broader issues. That to be is curious and maybe I think that is indicative of something deeper that you may not be aware of. Conservatives often feel alienated and victimized. The drumbeat of the right wing media, OAN, FOX, The Blaze constantly sends the message that those who disagree with you hate you want to harm you, are sinister and going to try to change you. But conservative elected officials will make it safe for you. Your not wrong your right and we will prevail and vanquish their agendas. And Trump is the strongman who will protect you from illegal aliens who kill Americans. Trump will keep you safe and the other guys will let bad people hurt you.That is the entire right wing media message all day every day. But here on this forum Words are not going to harm you, man up and stop playing the victim

. Dude you gotta man up 😂

I am showing you empathy and respect. What else can you hope to expect on a forum ? I am personalizing you and acknowledging you as a person who has good intentions. So I am going to be optimistic you will respond with a more substantial offering next post. I am not passive aggressive in my style of discourse. I am direct and express respect by giving you the opportunity to express what you think. Stage is yours so utilize the opportunity to argue your points without playing the victim.

. I don’t play the victim. I simply pointed out that poster went overboard which you acknowledged and agreed with. I didn’t attack you. I simply disagreed with you. When it became clear we wouldn’t reach common ground I nicely tried to change the subject to the Knicks and I hoped that hopefully we can both enJoy a exciting season

What is your response on Republican obstruction of any substantial action on the boarder if it involves cooperation from Democrats that has been raised ? What is your response on the issues involving the Kurds ? Stay on topic.

They also are smart and aren’t voting for trump. If border protection is his issue vote for RFK, he’s more of a conservative than trump ever will be on that topic.

. I don’t label myself a “Trump supporter” or a “maga”. I’m a conservative period cut and dry. Like I’ve said a 1000 times already I am not a Trump cheerleader. I’ve criticized him plenty but when it comes to his policies and the Lefts for me personally it’s an easy decision If that makes you angry then I don’t know what to tell you other than tough **** I guess. Obviously you’re voting for Biden and that’s fine, indibt yet bent out of shape about it.

Actually I’m not voting for Biden either luckily I live in a state where I don’t have to worry about trump winning. Honestly if the choice is to vote for criminal A or criminal B my vote is to not vote for either. That’s the most American thing you can do is take a stand for what is right . I choose compassion, I’m not going to support a war machine or corporate greed, I’m not going to support a candidate that is bought and paid for by the media superpowers in vanguard and blackrock just so they can push there corporate agenda . In my opinion this is the worst election in American history our choices that THEY have given us are disgraceful. But if you know history we are almost 250 yo as a nation and if you know history you know what’s probable in the near future . I have faith that we will come together as people if we can get over labels created to divide us. Again I have plenty of friends that are on both sides of the political spectrum at the end of the day we are all Americans . I wish you nothing but the best and good health:

So not backing down is the absolute key asset or skill for a president you prefer over ... lets say... a moral compass that is somehow reflecting lets put christian values here?!
Im asking cause this is something I really really do not get... its like electing a bully in highschool to be speaker or whatever... Just because he "does not back down" - which actually is also HIGHLY debateable with Trump in regards of Putin etc.
Why is not backing down the thing necessary at the moment in politics?!? Its not... I would rather think "bringing ppl togehter", finding solutions and enabling them via compromise on a global scale is sooo much more important today!!!

. Hey Gustav! No problem. Like I said i like everyone in here and it’s a great forum. I understand I can’t Change anyone’s mind on here and I am not trying to. Even though I’m extremely critical of the Democratic Party I just wanted to let it be known that I never hold that against anyone on here and how they feel. The great thing about this country is that we can have different views and it shouldn’t change how we feel about somebody as a person. To be honest I’ve been treated pretty well on this topic. I knew this is a sensitive topic and I know the site leans left but for the most part I’ve been treated pretty good which I appreciate

Glad to hear it. Politics aside, we're all Knicks fans here and thats all that matters.
