So far on this topic (that is, the Trump Tapes) we've had 'handing out a good ass-whippin', 'remove said guys from the genepool', and now BFEL would apparently be 'picking your (his) teeth up off the floor'.
Someone brags about sexual assault to my face and I will hurt them. Absolutely. Don't imply I'm beating up the poor innocent Trump supporters. I said quite clearly "If someone said what Trump said, to me, in private, I will hurt them". Absolutely. I've seen my more then my fair share of abusive assholes in my life and I have no sympathy whatsoever. I'm not going to beat you up for defending Trump, or even for defending Trump's comments, but if someone says the same thing as Trump then they have a real problem with me. And that's the thing! No one admits to saying that. They weasel word it by saying "Guys say *that type of thing* all the time", but no one says "Hey, I talk about grabbing them by the Pussy all the time". And that pisses me off, but only because I believe that they *don't* say those sort of things, and they are trying to defend it by lending him a cover without agreeing with it.
You are trying to turn a moral question about Donald Trump bragging about sexual assault into a broader political one about whether his supporters are a basket of deplorables, and I ask: Do *you* say the sort of things Donald said? Do all his supporters say that? I don't believe that. It's precisely because I don't believe that that I threaten anyone who says that sort of things because that's not political. Being conservative doesn't mean groping women without their consent. I question Trump supporters' judgements at times, but I don't believe they are sexually assaulting women. Some of them, however, are defending that, and that's not cool.
I'm absolutely glad you brought up Folly because Folly
isn't even a Trump supporter. Folly absolutely does not support Trump, and has said it repeatedly! Hell literally the post before me has him denigrating them! So why the hell are you bringing him and the things we said about him up when you are claiming Trump supporters are being attacked? The comments about Folly are
exclusively linked to Folly's defense of Donald Trump's comments. Nothing more. Supporting Trump is one thing, but defending his words about sexual assault by minimizing them or arguing they aren't so bad is quite another. I like BFEL. I know him from a community fort we both did. But he listened to the same tape I did, and he's arguing it's ok because he wasn't actually saying he was sexually assaulting women, and I say he was. But here is the thing Covenant, and it's why I have absolutely no tolerance for this nonsense: If the tape
does show Donald Trump sexually assaults women (which many of the people here believe), then it's beyond the pale. It's not politics. I'd argue that claiming to be upset that people are angry at those defending it is pretty absurd. Wouldn't you be upset at someone defending sexual assault?
You are trying to claim that anyone outraged by Donald Trump admitting to committing sexual assault, and angry at people defending it by calling it locker room talk, are some sort of... partisan? I don't even know. Donald Trump sexually assaulting women has nothing to do with politics. Plenty of Republicans have denounced it and are still supporting him. It's the people defending the talk that I have a problem with, regardless of whether they support Trump, Clinton, Jesus, i don't give a shit. If you really want to make Donald Trump grabbing a woman by the pussy the hill you are going to die on, be my guest, but don't expect to be treated with kid gloves here.
