Obviously, supporting a New York real estate billionaire is anti-establishment for some reason (feddit.de)

You’ve given a great illustration of the difference between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats hate Republicans because they’re Republicans, and then work their way backwards to rationalize their hatred by coming up with some silly thought experiment like you did. Meanwhile, Republicans don’t hate Democrats because they are Democrats, they hate them for what they do, but still secretly hope that one day they’ll realize the error of their ways.

I didn't say Republicans. I said Trump supporters. I also gave a laundry list of specific grievances I had with nearly all members of the Republican party, and I thought it was implied that my hatred for them would go away once those grievances did.

Thank you though for this undeniable proof that you are not arguing in good faith. This discussion is over. Good day.

Yeah, sure, not all Republicans support Trump, but I bet you that those who don’t support him are still majority pro-life, so for the sake of this argument, it doesn’t really make a huge difference.

So am I to understand that you would stop hating non-Trump supporting Republicans if they became Democrats, but you still want Trump supporters to drop dead?

Good day

And to you as well!

Correct. That's no less reasonable than you stopping hating democrats if they become republicans, which you just said you did. As for why I hate Trump supporters, it is my responsibility as a US citizen to defend the US from fascism. Trump says he plans to be a "day-one dictator." He quotes Mussolini. He is a fascist. So, by extension, is anyone trying to put him in office.

And there goes another fake news hoax, fueled by blind hatred and deceptively written headlines.

What he actually said was that he would be a dictator ONLY on Day One (Source), but of course that didn't stop many liberal websites from reporting as if he had said it differently.

Now do you see what I mean about trusting "the science"? It only takes one Google search to debunk your claim, yet you go and present it as fact because you want so desperately for it to be true that you only look at the evidence supporting your claim and don't even attempt to disprove your hypothesis. The same thing happens with scientific research that's paid to achieve a certain result.
