Alright glad you're actually thinking and considering what he said instead of blindly defending a candidate. All I ask really. As for why I'm calling him Drumpf, there is context for that, and it's not to mock his heritage. First off, I actually have a plugin that changes Drumpf to Drumpf in chrome, so I honestly get confused as to which one is being used sometimes. But, the reason the plugin came about, is that Drumpf specifically commented on Jonathan Steward not using his original last name which was kind of hypocritical seeing as he's not either. He also routinely calls Elizabeth Warren Pochahontas. It's about his hypocrisy, not about making fun of his heritage. I honestly don't know what his heritage is. I want to say Scottish. As for the Mexican quote, he was specifically talking about one race, not all illegal immigrants. I wouldn't say I took that out of context, but I didn't word it quite right, so I'll fix that. He's saying that most of 28% of mexicans in this country are rapists murderers and drug dealers. And to label any group that large like that is pretty bad, especially when the statistics don't bear him out. Anyway it seems that besides that particular point, you're agreeing what I said was in context and generally accurate. Whether that convinces you not to vote for him or not is up to you, but keep in mind not everything negative said about him is a matter of bias or misrepresentation. |
I wouldn't say Stewart/Warren and Trump are a good comparison. Donald had nothing to do with his ancestors changing his family name, while Stewart (assuming we're thinking about the same person, because apparently there's lots of them) was directly responsible. As for Elisabeth Warren, she is accused of feigning or greatly exaggerating her heritage. Even if it was a valid comparison though I simply can't see the Drumpf nickname turning voters away. If anything it comes off as childish name-calling.
Fair enough, thanks for fixing it.
And yeah, I never blindly supported Trump. Too many issues where we don't agree at all (a big one would be the second amendment). One key issue that we do agree on is opposition towards political correctness, but using fake statistics like in the retweet that you enlightened me about is hardly doing anyone a favor. In any event, you won't need to worry about my vote since I don't live in the US - and fortunately for me, we have better people than Donald Trump representing the anti-PC movement here.
