It’s Time to Give Up on Them – The Anti-Trumpers
September 2, 2018
Bruce Bialosky

I am sure you have tried just like I have. Every time you make a point based on facts it does not matter – you are shot down. It does not matter what good is being done or who has benefited. You will never convince them there is redemption. He could cure cancer, create world peace or jump into a fire and save a relative of theirs; but, still no salvation. There will be no acceptance and no atonement. He is a lost cause and convincing them otherwise is like nailing jello to a tree.

This was recently displayed again when I was meeting with a friend. I received an alert stating that the United States had again been ranked No. 1 on the Competitive Index according to the International Institute for Management Development in Switzerland. We had slipped from that spot in 2016 and were slotted in at No. 4 in 2017. This is a ranking of competitiveness on the global business stage. One would think that any American would be happy about this development since it means our country is doing better in the world compared to other economies, and that means more Americans would be employed and thus self-sufficient. My thought is the bastion of freedom and capitalism, America, should always be No. 1.

Even though I never mentioned President Trump, my friend leapt at the opportunity to attack Trump stating (and I paraphrase) that there was no redemption for Trump in his eyes. I then commented as I always do that it is about the policies for me.

Mr. Bialosky:
"I feel sorry for them. It is obvious they will never be converted on this matter. If you bring up a political point with them that has nothing to do with Trump, they reflexively attack Trump for something non-germane to the topic. There are other matters in this country of concern other than our president, but they don’t accept that."

There's the guy
Starts with capital "I"
Had to put him on ignore
Couldn't take it any more.

@Fishrrman so what productive purpose did you hope to accomplish with this AND with your first comment?  Inquiring minds want to know...

            I approve this Thread


   Besides it's been over a week or moore since we had a good AT/NT fight.

This article gives no indication if his foil is a NT from the right or from the left.  It leaves me kind of empty not knowing, because it appears to sweep both groups into the same dustbin.  I don't have a lot of patience for that POV.

Those things look like two bags of walnuts in a gunny sack.

   I can't afford them, these are a cheap alternative, though.

I agree. Does not matter who they are.  Same result.  Never Trump.  Says it all.

The ATs "gave up" on the NTs about two years ago.

And they haven't shut up about it since.

I’m still waiting for the OP to offer his insight into why he wanted to tweak these particular noses...why does TBR need ANOTHER bitch fest?

You give up on them by refusing to seriously engage them.

This article is an attempt to seriously engage them.

I gave up on liberals years ago.  Sometimes it seems like having to fight the same old wars again, but with a different set of opponents, hoping they'll be different.

Really, I'm getting tired of it.

Me too. I think by now we all know where each other stand.

But I guess some people never get tired of trolling.

Around here?
Without a single Conservative principle to stand upon, you cannot. Might as well save your breath.

Of the couples we know where the husband bought the wife  a new set of tatas, they’ve all gotten divorced a few years later. My husband’s theory: She didn’t need them to get you!

Yes, that is where the ignore button comes into play!  Best feature ever invented.   They are all alike and NEGATIVE. Mocking daily.

He wanted me to take the bait and start another tit-for-tat fight.

No point. 

IHTINB already nailed the entire situation for what it is:

After that they hit ignore on anybody who calls out their hypocrisy. #LegalAmerican
