I'm both a conservative and Pro Trump. So what values am I missing backing Trump?Fourth. The difference between the two is that a conservative has certain values I don't agree with. They are values though. A Trumpist has no such thing. The only discernable value is defending whatever Trump does. Regardless if it takes mental contortionism that would make a Cirque Du Soleil acrobat a board.-First, this OP is trying to assert the right does not troll, but rather implies they are victim of the left doing this. I took umbrage to this. From personal experience I do not find a lot of conservatives capable of not reverting to rhetoric, name calling, deflection or all sorts of fallacies, something I find (this is an opinion) is less the case on the left.I see a lot of conservatives here but I also see many in other camps, and certainly there are plenty of outright trolls on both sides. One need only look at a member's posting history to sort them out. That said, I'll often respond to a troll knowing that he'll never change, but using the platform to speak my piece to the lurkers. I never take idiots personally, I'm here only for informed debate and entertainment.Can I ask how long you've been on this forum? I suggest you look on ANY thread. You will find 2 things. One they are predominately written by conservatives or Trumpists. Two, once challenged one merit these same people revert to name calling. In my case unprovoked since I never start these practices and rarely respond in kind even when being called names. So when I see an OP like this I wonder about it being someone trolling since it seems a blatant thing to miss.
I joined this Forum Feb 3 2019, but have some experience in such environments. I see you're Belgian; are you in the US and/or a US citizen, or just an interested participant?
You mention threads "predominately written by conservatives or Trumpists", and I find this interesting. "Conservatives" I can understand, but what is your definition of a "Trumpist"?
-Second I'm here for much the same reasons as you, added to that that I have a general interest to TRY to understand opposing views.
-Third I'm an interested participant, but my wife is American and all of my in-laws live in the US.
