they don't have one.
But rest assured, they will be blaming anyone and everyone BUT themselves and Trump.

This is the direct result of politics. Facist, Hitlerian perhaps, but 100% politically motivated.
It does.
EDIT:
And this is why I say Trump supporters cannot be trusted and should be expunged from ones life. Their ranks are filled with people this openly evil. And they refuse to speak out against them. They are a danger to the American constitution, you, your family and anyone you hold dear.

The comment asking why they called it "pre-plan" is funny.
Being compared to the DU is about the worst insult I could imagine. They should be very proud of what they've become and what they've allowed Donald Trump to fundamentally transform them into.

Trump supporters are insane.
"What is needed is someone who has no moral values.
What is needed is someone who will stop at nothing to achieve the destruction of the Uni-party.
I could not care less if it were Donald Trump, Joseph Stalin,or Hitler. Anyone of them would be better for this country than the alternative. This is not the election year for reasoned thought, this is the election year for survival. It requires a total lack of civility, decorum, and/or sophistication. It would be a childishly naive imp to believe any sort of standard candidate could possibly save the Republic. We are at war with absolute evil, for the reconstruction to start, the existing Mob must be decimated, then destroyed.

I would take them seriously. They are already threatening to take away our taco stands. **** just got real.
I am aware though (through a blind copied message from someone that is sick of their ****) that some of them are creating/keeping a spreadsheet of never trump members and tracking down who their real life name and info. Not that any of those chairborne rangers can actually do anything, but in this day and age where you can destroy someone's small business just by giving it bad reviews on Yelp (I've seen it happen many times), I wouldn't put it past them to start acting like that.
After all, they actually and honestly think they are fighting a revolution and they are revolutionaries. SMH.

That's very much a FR thing, not really even about Trump. You could change the candidate name and they would still act like that. (see all past purges). The difference is those who are still remaining standing over there survived the purges because they are in the bully cliques so it is like the soup has been cooking down for a decade and is now ultra concentrated.

It's the direct death threats for refusing to vote for Trump when admitting you are voting third party that revealed all I needed to know about the Trump movement and why both he and his militants are more dangerous than Hillary to my liberty.

I can't see DT supporters here acting like FReepers.

I'm sure they migrated here for a reason that they were above that childishness.

Some on their list are not even NeverTrump. They also hate anyone who is not sufficiently enthusiastic or who ever dares to question Trump about anything. Honestly, I would rather be hated by them as a principled NeverTrumper than to be condescended to by them as one who "saw the light." That's a smug attitude which assumes their hideous attacks finally brought the poor little dummy convert to his knees. It will be a thankless position anyway. They will hold a grudge against anyone who was ever at any time NT. I never ever ever want any part of that.
Ever consider how similar those attitudes are to ISIS or the real Sharia Law types?
Convert or die.
Oops, wrong conversion...too late, not loud enough, whatever!

I think they are out of targets over there and the circular firing squads just did an about face.

I went over there today and saw that. I would tell you that my jaw dropped, but it didn't. It's almost idiosyncratic with those folks.
My biggest, most depressing realization lately is that many folks who've called themselves "conservative" and that I've counted as on my side...are no different in character than the Obama-zombies I made fun of in days of yore.
Now, many Trump supporters have gone bad, like milk goes bad. They may have once agreed with conservative ideals and principles, but there was no "core" there. They weren't committed to conservative principles, they just agreed that conservative policies would work better.
Now, it appears that I was not only wrong, I was WAY wrong! They will do things and say things that I don't believe a conservative would. Their willingness to attack, to misrepresent, to disparage and to demean anyone who doesn't agree with them is illustrative.
And they'll do it, say it, act it out against proven, historical conservatives. They've tarred people like Levin and Cruz as GOPe...or liars....or cheaters...or whatever...because they think it somehow promotes their guy.
And it is SO reminiscent of Obama supporters/progressives.
So, I'm embarrassed and ashamed. I thought our side was better at the core. I want to still believe that.
But there's so many people that demonstrate that we're NOT better; we just have different opinions than the progressives. They don't treat people any better. They don't debate any cleaner. They don't allow that other, bright people might have a different opinion than they do and are still good, solid conservatives.
They don't consider the opinions of those bright, good people and evaluate their merit. They attempt to destroy that person.
When it comes to the stuff that matters, many that I respected show that they are no different than those I laughed at.
Enough said.
It's enough to say that I'm pretty shook by the lack of substance and core conservatism displayed by so many. The thread the OP pointed to is an exemplar.
I wonder where we're going.

The Founders rightly noted that only a moral and religious people are capable of freedom.
When a people want a king to enact retribution on their behalf, they are no longer a people capable of freedom.
WE are simply witnessing the fruits of a people who have no principles beyond rooting for their champion for the high they get off of a "win" and the hopes of their desires being granted by those in whom they will make their ruler.
And chains, misery and death will be the lot of those around them.
As far as where we are going…. history already provided the answer and the Founders warned us about where we would end up if we were not moral, virtuous and vigilant.
-
Ahhh, @INVAR...
And I hope we are wrong.
TOS is a microcosm of what I see happening. A reputation is ruined in a moment. There will never be a day where FR can say they've always been a bastion of conservatism.
They may try to rebuild, if they ever recognize their error.
But too many will still recoil from the mention of that site due to the bile and foulness that exuded from so many of the posters there.
There are only shades of that here, but it still causes a visceral reaction in me.
Our country is that, with an exponent. I don't know how to come back, short of a revival or a revolution.

Responding to Quote from: elhombrelibre on September 04, 2016, 10:27:37 AM
Someone needs to collect all of these types of quotes from the Trump sycophants so they can be readily available after we lose this election to someone we should have easily beaten. Instead, of beating Hillary, we've got clowns in denial. We've got fantasitco thinking that Trump can feign ignorance of whom David Duke is with a wink and a nod. We have Trump hiring a campaign manager who plays footsie with the invidious and insidious alt-right, while blithely claiming that he, Trump, is the right man to help black Americans. Anyone of men Trump beat would have been a better candidate against Hillary. When Trump loses, and he will badly, remember all of the false promises he and his cheerleaders claimed.
Well, there is a big difference between 'rubbing their collective noses'--an editorial reminder-- and getting people's addresses to go visit them after the election. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3466045/posts (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3466045/posts)

Sounds like fun. Thanks for checking in with us again. Your posts were always fun to read. I'm glad it's not that you just didn't like us. LOL.
Not at all; in fact, it's quite comforting to know I haven't completely lost my mind - and you all still seem relatively sane.
I have been stunned at some of "my" friends who have gone completely over to Trump and seemingly have thrown every principle I thought they had to the wind; I was wondering about my own judgment.
-
@Howlin
Oh, hi, lol!
I am with you; I am completely confounded by people I thought were intelligent who have lost their freaking minds over Trump.
I left a private web site I started in 2008 because I just couldn't take one more word about how great Trump was when I personally knew that just last year, they hated Trump and Rudy and Christie and Falwell - and you know, all the losers that Trump has surrounded himself with.
Preposterous.
-
:silly: It's not you. It's them. Trust me.
Can you explain it? Are they as bitter as they appear to be? Why do they hate the GOP so much.
BTW, I wonder if they've noticed that only GOP establishment candidates are winning?
-
I can't explain it. I think we need an abnormal psychology professor to explain it.
As for the second question: yes, I think they have noticed that the GOPe is winning. See, The GOPe is now cool since most of them support Trump. They drank the orange koolaid and now everything revolves around Trump. He is their sun. All people and all issues must adjust to and revolve around him. Whatever fails to do so must be exterminated.
That's how it looks to me anyway.
The establishment GOP has the same principles Trump does. What it takes.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTmfwklFM-M (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTmfwklFM-M)

This is worrisome to me. I have been cyber-stalked by rabid leftists who were busy compiling personal info on a group of conservatives with whom they had been butting heads for a few years on a small message board. The acrimony caused the board to shut down, and when we conservatives moved to new venues, they followed us. It was next to impossible to outrun them, and quite disconcerting to learn of their private messages where they shared pieces of info on all of us to put together some sort of dossier on each of us. Why would they do that? Yes, we knew they were hate-filled. Much like is evident at TOS, you could tell that they were pounding their keyboards while foaming at the mouth. This kind of out-of-control anger can turn dangerous, so you can imagine our alarm upon learning that they were compiling info on us.
This retribution post from rabid Trumpsters is troubling. It shows their fixation on us. I don't know what else is on that thread, but it would be wise to document with screen shots and cutting and pasting this and any other threads that could be construed as threats -- especially if there's a spreadsheet of NeverTrumpers being generated, an obvious indication that there's some an active effort behind their threats of retribution.
Yes. Take it seriously. In 2012, after online death threats for opposing Ron Paul and making fun of his mob zombies, some of them did attempt to make my life hell, and try to figure out who I was in the meat world.
If they can think and speak about doing retribution upon those they have targeted, they can and WILL act on such threats.
Taking down Trump signs from front yards and running off with them is one thing. Being told repeatedly on various fora and social sites that we will be held 'accountable' for refusing to support Trump and we will be 'dealt with' and "shot" for treason is far beyond anything I have read from the rabid commies pushing the Mao Pantsuit.

Obama's Friend Ayers: Kill 25 Million Americans
http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/2455-obamas-friend-ayers-kill-25-million-americans (http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/2455-obamas-friend-ayers-kill-25-million-americans)
In No Place to Hide, Grathwohl explains that the Weathermen actually believed that they would be successful in overthrowing the U.S. government and that, with the help of the Cubans, Chinese, Russians, and North Vietnamese, they would occupy America. Americans would have to be "re-educated" in camps, similar to what the communists did in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and other countries they had taken over. Here is one of the chilling revelations Larry Grathwohl made in the film:
I asked, "Well what is going to happen to those people we can't reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?" And the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated.
And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.
And when I say "eliminate," I mean "kill."
Twenty-five million people.
I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people and they were dead serious.
:whistle:
-
They've got the heart part of it going on big time. They've moved to words. Actions will likely follow.
I was watching "Iron Lady" the other day. It is that movie about Margaret Thatcher. She said said this:
" Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become your character. And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. What we think, we become. My father always said that."
Words to live by. I had a Sunday school teacher that gave all us teenagers in his class a card with that on it. I still have it somewhere, used to keep it in my wallet as a reminder. I never knew the origin of the quote though.

The point is that Valerie Jarett's statement was oh so very similar to the TOS thread. This is not rocket science.

People that say provocative things in the supposedly anonymous online community, should not be entirely surprised when it provokes.
In the early days of Facebook, mostly young people behaved in ridiculous, insanely juvenile ways, seemingly oblivious to the fact they were screaming an open book of stupidity, and usually profanity.
In a couple of years, it toned down a great deal.
In Alcoholics Anonymous, we have a saying: "AA is not a den of mental health."
The same can be said to a lesser degree, about online political forums, in my considered experience.
If you run around calling folks racists, don't be surprised if some take offense.
If you are in a state of perpetual paranoia, don't be surprised if some think you are nuts.

So what, pray tell, would you do if threatened for saying mean and nasty things like "No"?

They are killing their own reputation.
The comment asking why they called it "pre-plan" is funny.
the plan before the plan

What's the matter, slick?
No response to Ayers' roundtable discussion at Columbia plotting the extermination of up to 25 million "capitalists"?

When you get spokesmen like Hannity "blaming" people if Trump loses, you should expect this kind of response.
Not that it's right, but it has been out there even before that.

There was never any doubt in my mind that FR gave up the identity of the man who exposed the big lie that Rather promoted.

Buckhead is the FReeper (at the time) who exposed Rather. He actually was driven off in disgust of the site a few years ago and I'm pretty sure he is a member here under a different name if I recall correctly.

And yet I have been seriously threatened more by Trumpsters than any other faction in this election.
"Most time, a man will tell you his bad intentions if you listen, let yourself hear." - Charlie, Open Range (2003)

:silly:
As a prepper I have studied Normalcy Bias, it is a 'glitch' in our brain function that often disallows the brain to accept the fact that something is occurring even while the brain is receiving incontrovertible data that that very thing is happening.
Now it is folly to lump any group of people together, but Trump supporters have a much higher occurrence of questionable and provocative behaviors than any other group involved in the current election. What is going on over at TOS is extreme, but not an isolated incident.
Trump himself has spoken a number of times about retribution and has a long memory for those that he believes have done him wrong.
Political revenge is not limited the the far left, history has plenty of examples that belong to the far right.
If a person threatens me in any way I believe it is the prudent thing to do to take such seriously no matter how outrageous the threat may seem. I also then take notice of people who remain silent about such behavior of their compatriots and move them up on a scale of potential threats.
As I have stated words have weight, words mean something and I take note of a man's words and take action accordingly.

lol. Yep, "fixin' to" is a common term for us growing up. I am sure that to the rest of the world it sounds weird.

Yet on this board and in this age, stating that kind of sound prudence automatically engenders calls that you seek "professional help". Usually from the very folks infected with fatal doses of Normalcy Bias.

Yes, "Fixin' to" is pretty common here.

Or the ones making the threats. I, too take any threat against my life or person or the lives or persons of my family at face value, and will be ready to respond appropriately.

Here's a friendly tutorial for those who might have a hard time figuring out how "fixin' to" -- the official verb of Texas -- is used in proper Texas parlance: http://www.texasstandard.org/shows/3122015/the-case-for-fixin-to-as-the-official-verb-of-texas/ (http://www.texasstandard.org/shows/3122015/the-case-for-fixin-to-as-the-official-verb-of-texas/)
The term 'fixin to' is pretty common in the tidewater just about anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon line.

The problem is it works both ways. One can get so caught up in what they believe (adding in the complexity of confirmation bias) that they just view what confirms their belief and if anyone disagrees, they think they are the ones suffering normalcy bias, when in fact, because they are in a confirmation bias loop, they are actually experiencing a 'normalcy bias' to their own belief.
Just an 'out there' example, let's take someone who is hyper obsessed with reptilian alien conspiracies. All they do is read about reptilian alien conspiracies and sites that promote it. They are in a confirmation bias loop so to them, seeing the reptilian alien conspiracy is 'normal' (even if it is an abnormal belief). They will accuse someone who doesn't see it of having 'normalcy bias' due to the 'glitch', but in reality, they are surrounding themselves with so much confirmation of their belief, theirs is the mind that refuses to accept outside data.
Y2K is a good example of this. I remember 'normalcy bias' being thrown out a lot by preppers then, against those who didn't think anything would happen because they feed themselves with so much data confirming it that the disaster was the normal accepted event in their own minds.
Normalcy bias doesn't impact just those who occupy 'common knowledge' thinking. It impacts everyone as we all have beliefs that we reinforce and confirm despite outside evidence (because we put ourselves in a confirmation bias loop).

There is a reason there was no Y2K disaster. Actually, a few billion reasons--spent to upgrade systems to prevent a problem. My dad was a retired Systems Analyst at the time who made very good money as a consultant in 1999 because he knew the mainframe systems still in use by his former employer. Ignoring the patches and upgrades being done was the thing which led to 'confirmation bias', but it never hurts to have a full pantry and learn new skills.

When you have repeated threats, list being made, revenge and retribution by both supporters and candidate being talked about if you don't embrace their cause I believe I have good outside evidence of what I am talking about. What I fail to understand is how others can not grasp what such behavior leads to and are not standing against it now? When did such behavior become acceptable? When did such behavior become American?
“It isn't enough to stand up and fight darkness. You've got to stand apart from it, too. You've got to be different from it.”

While not all Trump supporters are engaging in the worst behavior, I'm not seeing many speaking out against it. I don't mean those who come here and speak against it, I mean those who could stand in their midst and speak against it.

You are so right all the people who like to point to Y2K as being false never take in account the millions of dollars and thousands of man hours that where put in to stop it from happening. Kind of like a Leeve authority puts out a warning that a leeve is going to be topped. So the citizens take the warning seriously and hundreds of volunteers show up start filling sand bags and raise the leeve and stop the flood, so I ask you there was no flood so was the leeve authority wrong to put out the warning?
