If Things Were Different....

[Lighthouse]

If Donald Trump chose the Democratic ticket and was their representative for President, I could personally see many minds choosing and having chose an alternative tune and dance which I find rather hilarious for those who are not offended.

Many on this forum and across the US who are, and were anti-Donald would have been and still be supporting and defending Donald.

The cynical lefty media would have had a complete 360 turn as well. They'd have been positive and worshipping Donald instead. How brilliant he is for all that he has done and is doing. He'd be anything but an alleged racist, etc. The Republican candidate would be the new racist and everything else in the book. If Democratic Donald lost the election, they'd be throwing temper tantrums still.

Donald would also have a completely different tune for his art of the deal in which he appealed to the lefties during his campaign. All of the phantom stuff they fear currently, they'd have been and still be in cloud 9 right now in comfort.

I perceive that many would be lying to themselves if they disagree. I perceive that many will disagree because they are not aware of themselves and their own minds fully. I perceive comical irony if this would have been so.

So you're saying that if things were different that they'd be the same?
I'll buy that!

Summed it up very well

So you're saying that if Trump had run as the Democratic candidate, proposing things like deporting illegal aliens en mass, building a wall on the border, and denying immigration to Muslims based on religion would have been seen as progressive?

No, Donald would have not been running with those if he were trying to appeal to lefties.
But who knows, the way conditioned minds perceive things... maybe they would have thought those were brilliant if he had. He'd have their #1 news source of lefty media defending them as if they were genius. What the media says, is what the majority believe.

Trump isn't some bi-partisan nominee that has a way to appeal to the left. Trump is the sort of far-right that even make conservative republicans cringe.

He could easily run as a Democrat if he didn't oppose Obamacare & higher taxes.
Other than those 2 items, he'd fit right in.

And maybe if Trump were one of the X-men he could have mind-controlled everybody into hearing whatever they wanted to hear and then maybe he would have been nominated by both parties.

In the meantime, if Hillary had been swept away by a twister and come back with magical ruby slippers and the Munchkin and Flying Monkey vote . . .

What is your point exactly? Does all of this offend you to have a reasonable conversation?

Your "argument", if that's what you want to call it, seems to consist of speculative conclusions with little or no supporting evidence -- and yet anyone who disagrees with you is "lying to themselves".

Well there a few more issues than just that but those are ones that affect the family right off the bat.

My point is: if you're going to "what if" reality into a pretzel, why not add some salt?

Does all of this offend you to have a reasonable conversation?

What offends me is the fact that in the space of a little over a week, the intelligence level of the average thread in this place seems to have plummeted pretty dramatically.

The op is a flawed premise Donald isn't called a racist because he is on the right but because of his rhetoric and now people he is putting into his administration.

If he ran as a Democrat and used different rhetoric he would not be racist because he would not have been using racist rhetoric.

By any chance, did you go mushroom hunting this weekend and perhaps mistake peyote for tasty morels?

Sure, I'd also like to think you'd be the first person posting the left's media hate articles for Democratic Donald's Republican opponent if he were on the other side as an actor for everything you stand for.

Smile pal, easy to offend.

Well, I'm glad that someone openly appreciates my work!

It's a good thing you're here then.

Good point .

The media also wouldn't be twisting his words and force feeding that he a racist down peoples minds.

A good actor with media backing can appeal to many.

You have interesting fantasies.

Thank you, as do you.
