Are you surprised dead0man is so anti-Trump?

[they don't love you like i love you]

Yes, he actually fits the profile of the sort of people won over by Trump pretty well.

[Mr. Morden]

No, because Trump became a symbol of the "culture war" over AAD.  If Lief hadn't written all those posts promoting Trump, then dead0 might not have been so turned off by him. 

[DavidB.]

No, because while dead0man's demographic profile might suggest he would support Trump, his actual opinions (and, more importantly, his independent/quasi-libertarian outlook on politics) render not supporting Trump very logical.

His actual opinions fit a Trump supporter well too.

I disagree.

He's said a lot of anti-Muslim and pro-cop stuff, hence what made me think this.

[IceSpear]

He seems to be more contrarian than anything, so no.

That's the impression I got too.

Trump is the weakest nominee since Bob Dole, and shouldnt be trailing in Va and FL by 5-6 points, I think GOP has to learn another defeat lesson.

Funnily I think his thoughts on Trump would be similar to what opebo would say.

opebo's thoughts on Trump would likely be something like this:

"It is not a surprise that all those foolish rubes are following Trump, after all we must not forget their main motivation is and has always been their hatred of a black and a Mexican. Such is the nature of the Bad Place. The good news is that the non-whites now realize the truth of the Bad Place, that it is not for them and hates them and may start voting more to stem to try to soften the blow against them but alas it will probably not be enough. While it may be enough to elect Hillary Clinton over Trump for this election, which means the poors will be hit with a slightly less heavy sledgehammer than they would under any Republican for the next four years, the eventual results are clear. The only real option is to flee the Bad Place as soon as you can."

I have disliked Trump for pretty much ever.  Since I first saw him made fun of on SNL in the 80s.  Rich douchebag in a suit that like to show off their wealth?  Hate those people.  With passion.  So yeah, I've disliked Trump since before Lief was born.  Lief and the other toxins liking Trump isn't surprising at all.

He's said a lot of anti-Muslim and pro-cop stuff, hence what made me think this.

I don't dislike Muslims or like cops.  I dislike violent assholes that kill people for drawing pictures, I dislike people that think women are "lessers".  I don't have a knee jerk hatred of cops, I respect the uniform until proven otherwise.  I hate cops that abuse their power and have said many times here that they should be held to a much higher standard and punished much more harshly when they funk up.

He seems to be more contrarian than anything, so no.

am not

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

No. dead0man is one of our more rational and sane posters, so it makes sense he's anti-Trump.

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

How long before BRTD starts claiming to 'channel' opebo outright?

[Mr. Morden]

Who is the oldest poster here who unironically supports Trump?  Seems that the Trump support that exists on the forum is all either pure irony or newbie kids.  I just don't think the forum tends to attract the type of voter who legit supports Trump.  As Crabcake noted here:

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=231223.msg4951580#msg4951580

"A lot of anti-establishmentism is uninformed", and among at least the posters on the forum who are of voting age, they tend to know at least a bit about politics, and so are not part of the disillusioned masses who support Trump.

6 months, tops.

[they don't love you like i love you]

Probably never, since the people at AAD have been trying to get in touch with him since AAD was created with no luck. Really, he seems to have truly moved on. I still think trying to imitate his posts is fun though, I can see why dallasfan65 created that sock account.

Here's his attempt at opebo's take on the Democratic primary:

The answer to the first sentence's question is probably Grumps.

Kasich is/was my preference, Red......but alas, he won't make it to the dance.  i'll let you know in November who I ultimately vote for.

[ingemann]

I'm not surprised and I think it's some ridiculous points BRTD decides to focus on to why dead0man should be pro-Trump. In my view of dead0man, he arrives at his opinions by thinking things through, rather than looking at a ideology before he decides what his opinions are. Donald Trump on the other hand are just a hot air ballon, which is obvious to a man like dead0man who doesn't unreflextive follows politics from some kind of "my team vs the other team" perspective.

[Torie]

He's a sensible man, so of course I am not surprised BRTD.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

No. dead0man is one of our more rational and sane posters, so it makes sense he's anti-Trump.

[SWE]

It's weird that he isn't supporting a candidate that's basically him, yeah.
