I tend to agree with Dexter. Correct misinformation and falsehoods, and then move on.
By repeatedly bashing them over the head, even if it is with truth, it makes them look like martyrs for the cause and makes them even more resolute in their position. And, it makes the anti-Trumps look bad and negative. Much better to be pro-something.
I agree. But, it's what the GOP has been doing for years now. Just be anti something. The pro anything gets lost in the bluster.
Here's what I think is the reality of this, as it concerns this forum. This little piece of the internet has absolutely no impact on America's political course, (sorry Myst). It just doesn't, it's too small. So, what we're really talking about is how welcoming do you want this place to be? Do you want to check in and see 3 or 4 threads with nothing but insults flying, day after day? It gets tiresome.
The anti-Trump crowd have decided that Trump supporters are Trump, and deserve the same level of disdain.
I think Trump is a train wreck that will be taken care of at the convention. I see Trump supporters as people with much the same wishes for America's political direction as I have. It looks to me that Trump supporters have decided that they can take a shot with Trump, because going with the same old candidates will get the same old results. Regardless of what you think of Trump, it's a valid point. The vitriol by the anti Trump crowd is over the top, and smells of fear. I don't like Trump, I never trusted Trump, but some of these posters almost make me hope Trump wins, just to see them continue on their unhinged journey.
