Trump

[Greg Bobkin]

It might be a simplistic question, but when did the GOP supporters – or at least the most vocal/'dynamic' ones (I'm trying not to upset Mo G with my left-wing wokeness' of using terms that deemed offensive and Bear-Pit friendly) – become so prominent? Did they have much of an influence or collective base before Trump? Or was it a combination of his rise, the growth of social media (and right-wing channels such as OANN and NewsMax) and deeper splits within the Republican party that brought it out in the open?

I didn't pay too much attention to politics back in the day (especially not US stuff), but I don't recall seeing the same kinds of people – of the similar views being expressed – back in the days of Bush Jnr...

Bizarrely enough the answer might just be Sarah Palin and the T-Party.
Although in that you have to add a reaction to Obama.


But the T-Party got.more of a bump than expected.
The Republicans became a little scared to reign them in.
The right got stronger.
Trump's opponents were particularly weak.
As were the Democrats.

I would say it's a 'perfect storm' but you just have to change a few names and you have exactly the same here with Farage, Cameron et al.

Is the right answer.

I see that a You Gov survey has found that 74% of Brits think that Trump should removed from office this week - this includes 64% of those woke, left wing Conservative voters

Would love to see how many Septics think Johnson should be removed from office for ****ing up Brexit and Covid and ruling over one of the most corrupt and lying government I can ever recall ? ... however, plenty on here would actually say he has done a wonderful job in the same way that 70 Million Americans voted for Crooked Trump.

Good grief

This is the Trump thread, not for derailing in to a Bear Pit thread.

Sorry, I thought this was the Crap Leader Thread.

Yeah the thread title is really ambiguous. Perhaps the mods can sort it out

 

[Dick Swiveller]

An organiser of the "Stop The Steal" movement has said that 3 GOP Congressmen helped him organise the protest. Wonder how they will vote.

The Trump narrative is a once in a lifetime chain events which deserves it's own thread being kept on track, not wasted on Bear Pit stuff IMHO.

Impeachment Vote coming soon. Interesting watch on CNN.

This vote is only to take Trump forward to an impeachment hearing isn't it?

I don't think today is a vote to decide if he's guilty?

When would that be?

Months away. If they take it to the Senate it could derail Biden’s first 100 days.

Watching Republican in the impeachment trial trying to distance Trump from 6/1 is hilarious. They seem to brainwashed as the rioters [emoji23]
