Western Europeans & Trump

What do Western Europeans know about Trump? 99% of their opinion of him is negative, as if they're just the European extension of America's coastal/urban/academic pretentiousness and faux social elite. 

Facebook "Fun"

I was on Facebook and saw a post about a man named Tony Perkins. Here's the link to the entire article that was posted. The headline reads "Guy who says God sends natural disasters to punish gays has his home destroyed in a natural disaster." I never heard of Perkins before; apparently he's the head of Family Research Center, a conservative Christian lobbying organization, that was accused of killing "thousands" of LGBT+, forcing them to commit suicide, as said in the comment section. Now I'm not sure which is more ridiculous, Perkins' supposed statement or that pro-"equality" people thinking the Family Research Center drove people suffering from same-sex attraction to take their own lives.

Either way, let's investigate if Perkins said what the article claims he said. According to snopes.com Perkins, back in 2015, was on a radio show where he and a pastor were talking about the recent Obergefell vs Hodges decision. The snopes article states -

That claim stems from a 3 October 2015 interview that Perkins did with Pastor Jonathan Cahn. While Cahn was actually the one who tied Hurricane Joaquin (which ravaged the Bahamas in October 2015) to what he said was God’s anger with the United States for legalizing gay marriage, Perkins mused (starting at around 13:15 into the podcast) that God may have been “trying to send us a message.”

Here's my attempt at a transcript at the 3:15 mark.

Jonathon: Well now we have the striking down of marriage, and I shared with you one of the key, really, flash points of judgement, is that before judgement comes there's an act of desecration and if anything was an act of desecration is to take the holy vessel of marriage, turn it against its purposes and that's what happened. And then it was celebrated by the sign of the rainbow - the rainbow is a holy vessel of God, that's a second desecration, and thirdly that night the White House becomes a desecration as it is lit up in the colors of the rainbow. I have to ask, the rainbow is about judgement, mercy, you know, and the covenant, and you know, the question is how much more can we do as a nation in the face of God to provoke judgement.

Tony: Yea, it's, it's ... All of these things are quite amazing once you look at them collectively. I'll just say this Jonathon, because I know that there are those, on the left, that like to mock these things. America has a history, our leaders actually - our presidents, our governors - when these things happened in nature, like hurricanes, all of these external events that put our nation at risk, there's a long line of historical tradition here where we, uh, not so much in recent years, but they have stepped up back and said is God trying to send us a message, and they have called upon the nation to pray and that's your emphasis here and the emphasis that we put forth is that just as in Jeremiah time God was willing to spare the children of Israel if they would simply repent, and turn back to him.

So while Tony did muse about God's anger in the form of natural disasters, the content of his words proves the headlines false. Tony Perkins never said that hurricanes are God's way to "punish gays" but are a sign to humanity for legalizing same-sex "marriage." In fact, neither did the Jonathon fellow say natural disasters were to punish homosexuals. Whether or not you think the way Jonathon does (who, by the way, has a history of interpreting worldly events like 9/11 and natural disasters as a sign of God's wrath) the headline is wrong. Unless you had an agenda, purposely twisting Perkins' words, or just were a lazy listener I don't see how one could accuse Perkins wishing death upon homosexuals. But the damage is done and people have liked the FB post. It's similar to Romney's 47% comment or Trump's remark about Mexicans and criminals - the left will twist and publish, the naive will believe anything that feeds their biases and prejudices.

As I scrolled up to the latest post of the person who linked this article, I noticed he posted that Mayor Rahm Emmanuel "banned" Trump (Rahm just declared  the city a "Trump-Free-Zone" ... Whatever that means) from Chicago because of Trump's decision on DACA (which is highly ironic once you think of it). So an American citizen, let alone the President, isn't "allowed" in a city within the country he governs, but illegals are. Totally not virtue signally at all. The post has many likes with one response yelling "I LOVE CHICAGO!" The kicker? This poster graduated in the top five of his class - actually, I think he was the valedictorian - who is now attending DePaul University, the university that went full-retard by allowing BLM protestors to intervene Milo Y.'s visit. A+ in naivety and stupidity.

Scott Adams "gets" the heart of Clinton supporters and, in general, The Left.

Scott Adams, illustrator of the beloved newspaper cartoon Dilbert, is a Trump supporter. He has observed anti-Trumps on The Left and he has drawn these conclusions about them.

"I’ve been trying to figure out what common trait binds Clinton supporters together. As far as I can tell, the most unifying characteristic is a willingness to bully in all its forms.

If you have a Trump sign in your lawn, they will steal it.

If you have a Trump bumper sticker, they will deface your car.

if you speak of Trump at work you could get fired.

On social media, almost every message I get from a Clinton supporter is a bullying type of message. They insult. They try to shame. They label. And obviously they threaten my livelihood.

. . . .

Team Clinton has succeeded in perpetuating one of the greatest evils I have seen in my lifetime. Her side has branded Trump supporters (40%+ of voters) as Nazis, sexists, homophobes, racists, and a few other fighting words. Their argument is built on confirmation bias and persuasion."

The Left hates bullies, with all the anti-bulling campaigns, with the obsession of "diversity & inclusion," with the accusations of almost every -ism known to man (they'll make more -isms up), yet in ironic fashion they have become bullies. They create their own indignation out of a vacuum because, well, I don't know why. It might be out of boredom or the human need to be part of something that makes their heart swell up with feels.

The Left loathes bullies, but when they get an inkling of power they become bullies. They will excuse their own behavior, saying such things are justified because "they're tired of all the [insert -ism(s)]."

You ask them for particular events in their life that caused them to be bitter and they'll instead give some cliche slavery, Native American genocide by the government, Vietnam and Iraq, some talk about empire building, the 1950s, LGBT homelessness and the AIDS epidemic answer. Did I miss anything?

"No, I mean direct instances. Like were you, a friend, or relative fired because he wasn't white or not straight?"

Nothing, for the most part.

This is why I really am suspicious of the "rape culture," the calls of racism in police departments, and the suppose LGBT plight. So far I'm not nearly convinced as The Left is. In their world, the sky isn't falling but SEXISM, RACISM AND LGBTPHOBIA!

"We have much work to do."
"We have a long way to go."

25 years later.

"We have much work to do."
"We have a long way to go."

The insany hypocrisy of the pious modernists.

I think what Trump said 11 years ago on a Hollywood lot was disgusting. It's "guy talk" but nonetheless it was disgusting. I won't defend him and say that this is what men do when alone shooting the breeze therefore it's A-OKAY. It's not. But I will say that those who are offended and are on the left, saying he's a bastard and a sexist, are showing their selective bias and short-term memory.

Many Probably everyone in the entertainment industry loathes Trump. Europe hates him. Yet they love Roman Polanski and they consider it a career milestone to sign up for a Woody Allen film. Now, if you're an actor, or a producer, or director and you think he's a crude man then I'd agree. If you think he's so low, lower than what happens on set and what happens in front of the camera for the name of "art" then you're a hypocrite. The film & television sector makes Broadway appear tame.

If you're a social prog and you think Trump is disgusting just remember that you're all for carpet munching and anal sex all while flying the rainbow flag of death and stagnation. Because wuv and "we're just humans falling in wuv." You're the one who says "Aw!" when two people of the same-sex enter a relationship.

You mock the so-called prudes for their supposed backwards view on sex and sexuality yet when you hear Trump's words you become nice and neat. You gently dab your napkin on the side of your mouth to remove any excess food as you use your indoor voices, talking about equality and empowerment while eating vegan dishes and drinking kale smoothies.

Yes, Trump's past reveals a man of extreme narcissism. But the left is all about narcissism while appealing to the "greater good." Save the whales. Save the global warming refugees. Save the starving kids in Africa. They should love Trump. But he actually appreciates America. So in his case it's "save America" but that's the wrong type of agenda. He's white. That's the wrong type of skin color. He got mega mega rich with business. The Left doesn't like business unless the business gives them money. Trump is running as a Republican - The Left's selective bias and short memory makes them froth at the mouth when the "r" would is mentioned.

If one is intellectually honest Trump should be somewhat liked by The Left, but he isn't. His agendas are wrong. He's a white man. He's a person who seems to genuinely like America. The left can't have that.

I may not be a full-on Trump supporter, but how people categorize his supporters is just plain hypocritcal and ignorant.

The irony.

Here are some quotes about Trump supporters -

"I'm not an American, but I assure you that people that vote for Trump don't have brains.
I would be ashamed if I voted for a "person" like him to lead my country and my people. De Niro is right, saying that he is a pig."

And people will vote for Clinton because they want the first woman president. That's some deep shit right there.

 "Trump supporters are truly low information voters"

 "America is entering dark times. Just yesterday a GOP office in North Carolina was firebombed. There was graffiti on the building that read "Nazi Republicans. Get out or else" (Honestly this whole attack seems sketchy. It's something a Trump supporter would do to make themselves look like the victim."

A response to the above quote -

"And they wonder why Hillary called them deplorable.
F-ck this noise. I'd love to see one of these c-nts try to intimidate me. And f-ck all this talk of "revolution" and killing Hillary. The worst part of this for me is these idiots don't see the utter hypocrisy in their words - they wanna call anyone unlike them criminals or degenerates, BUT THEY ARE COMPLETELY BLIND TO THEIR OWN SH-T. LIKE WHAT THE F-CK. ARE WE REALLY ABOUT TO ENGAGE IN WAR OVER THIS ONE BUMBLING IDIOT WHETHER HE WINS OR LOSES. IS THIS REALLY WHAT OUR COUNTRY HAS BOILED DOWN TO??????"

 It's interesting how amazing the MSM can shape a voter block. The Clinton/Obama supporters are hip, sophisticated and intelligent. They're filled with empathy and are all for equality. Trump supporters? Dumb hicks from the sticks who are racists, xenophobic, and are bullies. It's the same tactic on how they portrayed Tea Party members.

In my experience and from what I've read and watched it's the opposite.

I know  I've explicitly expressed my disdain of Trump's GOP nom here but upon reflection the thoughts regarding his supporters I take back. I said those things because I was upset, though my thoughts on picking Trump as the GOP nom still remain roughly the same. Do I actually believe Trump supporters are "dumb flat-headed" folks? There probably are some but in general nope.

Another reason I expressed those unfair words is because I also think Trump will lose and as I stated in the linked page I don't want to see SJWs and damn leftists gloating. I saw the gloating when Romney lost and it left a very, very bad taste in my mouth. Now, if I thought Trump had a decent chance of winning, sure, I may have been a little more charitable with my remarks.

#fucktheleft

This little hashtag got some lefty real irritated. The lefty then accuses me of supporting the 'hardcore' right and immediately follows by spewing condescending remarks towards hillbillies (it's always "the hicks" that receive the hate).

To be honest, I'm glad I got someone pissed off. They deserve it.

#fucktheleft

EDIT: Here's what the noble "moderate" said to me -

"Progress would be achieving something, succeeding at a goal, making a point that works.

Additionally, there are many different degrees of cuntery, and you can't lump people together as left or right.

You can be left and be a prick, you can be right and be a prick.

Thinking people shouldn't be punished be punished for having abortions is not uniquely a leftist position.

Most of the people in the video were not left, they were regressive left and emotionally unstable, just like the emotionally unstable right wing hicks that were interviewed.

The gay guy got called a faggot by a 'brave' right wing soldier doing his right wing duty, passing by him while he was getting interviewed in this video, that is a far right opinion, it's also the action of a cunt.

The guy was gay, and that's all you need to discount his point, but his points were logical and rational.

Not regressive left positions, but common fucking sense.

I said, quite clearly, that having a problem with the left doesn't mean the hard right is correct.

Perhaps it's an American problem, you flick the switch from regressive lefty to far right cunt, and have no way to continue your life without joining one club or another."

 Here's his initial response before I confronted him -

"fuck the left, i'll stand on the hard right #Americanlogic  

Punish people for having abortions. 

Assault rifles for all. 

Keep all foreigners out, we are the best, hell yeh, fire your assault rifles in the air, then wave them around like you just dont care, then fuck your sister.

The left are regressive and these lefties are not smart, with the exception of the gay guy who you can only hate because he looks 'faggy' lol. 

Women do have the right to decide, and you DO need statistics to prove a point based on statistics!!!! 

The right are the hick yokel yankee doodle cunts shouting draped in American flags who will vote for someone just so they get a bigger gun to shoot. 

I already know that i'll get responses from the most stupid humans in existence, pumping up America and making lots of outdated ignorant mongy references to England, despite the fact you'll reply in my language lol. 

Let's have ya Trumpees"

 

An obervation about MGTOW who are #TrumpHumpers

They tend to be single, divorced or never married.

They don't plan on marrying.

They tend to be childless.

They aren't the type of bachelor that can pull a Walter Mitty where they go on crazy adventures.  Roosh isn't one despite being well-traveled.

Usually they're secular/non-religious.

They never wrestled a bear.

Some admit that hedonism is a valid goal in their life (at least they're honest).

In other words they're not complete losers, but have a good percent of loser in them  that you sorta feel sorry for them. The only thing keeping themselves from being a caricature is that they don't like "progressives." Good for them.

If You Only Had a Brain

If the GOP voters had a brain they'd see Trump mainly as these things when it comes to policy & media:

(1) Great at deflecting the BS that is thrown at non (D)s and non-'save-the-world-save-the-little-guy' types and

(2) Great at bringing up issues, particularly the less-than stellar economy and downright traitorous immigration policies held by many leftists/"progressives."

That's it.

Why anyone who is serious about the POTUS position would favor him over the others, besides Jeb Bush,  is not beyond my understanding, but beyond my respect. Yet several contributors at American Thinker and its combox members think otherwise. The site and the writers that make up the site haven't official said it, but their guy is Trump, and they have no problem painting and believing things that make Walker (now out of the race), Fiorina (I believe she'll drop out after the 3rd debate), Carson, Rubio and Cruz as establishment types or less-than trustworthy candidates. They'll snidely remark "cuckservative." This is proof of their lowly bottom and, as an ex-modern day liberal, I will admit shows why liberals/leftists/progs think The Right are unsophisticated rubes. In some ways they are.

And to the people within the RNC picking the candidate that gets their backing - this time it's Jeb - you people are losers who need to replaced. Careerist politicians whose better days are long behind them, whose eyes are cloudy with screeching brakes that don't know how to call it quits, or 40 yr olds who couldn't run a successful business so they, instead, run a major political organization. Yikes.
