I know this is a sports forum and we primarily talk Knicks, and I am sorry if I am offending some people by bringing a "political" thread into this category, but we all have a voice...we need to use it. Can you tolerate 4 more years of this horrible "regime"?

Please for the love of God, look deep into your soul if you are still a Trump Supporter. You are supporting a party of...
Inhuman Treatment of Refugees
White Supremacists / Nationalists / KKK / Racists
No Gun Control / NRA
Money over Everything
Child Molester Nominees
Thoughts and Prayers...as in no actions
Russian Oligarch Support

Just how many bad eggs do you have to see in your basket before you decide that basket is not for you?
(Wonder if this thread can be pinned or is it too early for a 2020 election)

I support your right to use your voice and post whatever you want.
But I cannot argue with you about the subject as my opinion is not in tune with political views of the majority or posters on this forum.
But if you just want to use this thread as propaganda without any debate potential this should work.

Agreed!! those who disagree do not have 1A rights protected here. Enjoy your uniformity of thought.

What thought? All I hear is a poster calling another poster's content "propaganda" without explaining why. And you agreeing with this poster. Doesnt take much thought to do that. Both of you put up or shut up.

He's been reprimanded by the powers governing this board on expressing ideas that are different than allowed.

So the alternative is just calling it propaganda? Do they have something besides "Trump is us"?
No kidding, still doesnt mean we give him a pass. Most Americans voted for the alternative in greater numbers. Wasnt much of an alternative. Would have brought us an older, crazier, and better prepared Trump in 2020. We werent going to avoid this. Now that its here, the racism, bigotry, regressive policies should be called out for what they are. Not another plunge into "whataboutism".

What load of crap- Martin and Andrew are actually very tolerant (to a fault sometimes, I think)- guys that get banned not only cross a line, but then continue to do so when warned, then continue to do so and then tantrum about it until they finally get the boot (but not before playing victim). If you're referring to the posters on these boards, then for me, if you post a **** opinion, prepare to get called out on it- that's life!

The media sets the tone and many here follow along blindfully. I never will.

All i will say is that WE the people must stop allowing us to be divided by THEM. Together we are strong, divided we will lose.

This thread is divisive.

Briggs chose to be radical and offended some people by claiming things like he wanted to, or was cool with bombing a country someone here originated from. Briggs also stated that he himself "grabbed women by the ****" when defending Trumps words. This caused other poster to want him banned. Which isn't even the reason he was banned. He was banned because due to his own words being the cause outrage. And was asked not to participate in these threads. He chose to continue to do so after agreeing privately with the mods that he would stop. Which was explained to us.

Arkud has completely different views than some here. Yet he isn't banned, he actively participates in every single political thread. His views are often challenged so it doesn't boil down to just "unpopular opinion".

We have arguments, difference of opinions, heated exchanges etc.. constantly on this forum when it comes to Knicks basketball, players, prospects, coaches yada yada yada. Yet were not gonna blame the platform of this forum for being divisive.

Its the dog days of summer and not much Knicks talk will be presented which is usually why summer time has a lot more political threads created.

On a side note

Me personnally I am not deep into politics. I am more so fasinated by the behaviors of people. I am very fasinated to see what unfolds with Trump when he is no longer President. When he no longer holds this level of power allowing the GOP to hold office. I am interested to see if the GOP looks to throw him under the bus and turn on him. Or if they continue to ride for him. As he will have a lot of heat on him once he is no longer protected under the cloak of President.

He found a base of disgrunted people who feel that America has turned its back on them. This is something that needs to be mended or there will be no unity. Only deep seeded resentment until the next Trump presents him/herself.

And I didn't and wouldn't vote for an indiotic loudmouth with no executive management experience and extremist views. That applied to 2016 as well as in 2008/2012.

what are you really adding to this thread?

Actually I am hoping to hear from Trump supporters on here why they support Trump. So far I am waiting on an actual argument differing from what I stated in the opening of the thread. So far from the people objecting, I have heard something to the effect of "you or the mods don't really want to hear what i have to say".

Thats not taking the conversation to any conclusion. But you are free to not participate if that's what you want. Participating with vague objections does not make sense. What is the viewpoint you or another Trump supporter are stating? Hopefully I have not shouted down your post.

I work in mental health- I think thinking of him as an imbecile is a mistake- he's basically a psychopath, and I think he's smart in the sense of he knows exactly how to manipulate people- he has animal cunning, he knows what he's doing.

Psychopath is the property of any charismatic politician.
He has to be. Especially in the age of Reality TV.
Trump is US, all of us, left and right, black and white, reach and pure.
We created this monster and we have to leave with it the best we can.
America is huge Reality Show and it is up to each of us what role we play.

Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter....None of them were psychopaths or had mental health issues. Sorry. Your opening statement is just flat out wrong. Politicians can be egoists or charismatic or whatever but IMO Trump is at the very least a malignant narcissist which means he doesn't perceive reality in the same way a normal functioning and balances human sees it. And that is dangerous when your the most powerful person on earth.

Politics is life. We should not be afraid to talk about it and if your views are against the majority, you should have the balls to express yourself. You seem to want to express yourself by trying to shutdown views that you do not agree with without providing any actual discussion of your views. BRIGGS was spouting some fairly radical racist stuff. He was essentially Fox News on steroids. Even then, I really did not care I BRIGGS participated.
