Most real Trump supporters were too busy working and raising their families to take time off and go to the border. Not everyone can be on welfare.

[msc545]

No, the real Trump supporters are redneck assholes driving pollutant belching big rig tractors and stock cars while screaming and yelling and making threats.

[exitseven]

95 percent of all small business owners support President Trump. I would not call any of them redneck assholes

[msc545]

evidence?

[exitseven]

I don't need evidence. What evidence says they are all rednecks? This is just what CNN wants people like you to think.

[exitseven]

Dean Phillips was in New Hampshire last week for the primary. He had heard so much about President Trump from many people so he decided to go to one of Trumps rallies. He said they were all nice and friendly people and everyone he spoke to had real concerns about America.

[msc545]

so you have no evidence.

[exitseven]

Do you know any small business owners,

[msc545]

Do you have any evidence or not?

[exitseven]

While not do what I did a couple of summers ago. Get quotes from several companies for things like a new driveway, landscaping, new roof and gutters and central air conditioning. Get about 20 contractors to look at the job. Keep your pickup truck with the Trump sticker in the driveway in plain sight and ask each contractor about making America great again. Get back to me with the results.

[msc545]

Do you really think that the opinions of building contractors whose sole expertise seems to be cutting corners really matters?

[msc545]

Those opinions do not constitute evidence.

[msc545]

Please go look up the term sampling bias and get back to me and tell me what you learned.

[exitseven]

I know what you are saying. But what if you did that and 100% say they support President Trump?

[msc545]

It would be meaningless. I'm sure based on demographics you could easily select a group of people and every one of them would tell you that they support Trump. So what?

[exitseven]

it is funny that union guys, small business owners, truck drivers and first responders are now supporting President Trump. Anybody with a good job that works hard and is sick of seeing the country get flushed down the toilet. It is not a coincidence that Trump came out of nowhere and won the presidency and starts the greatest political movement in a century.

[msc545]

You can glorify this all you want. The man is still a mentally ill criminal who is a threat to our country and our democracy. Just because people seem to be drawn to him, does not make him a good person or a good leader.

[exitseven]

Wow, and to think you work in mental health

[msc545]

Yes, I do. You do not.

[exitseven]

No but I work in IT. It is crazier

[msc545]

Good to know.

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

This was never going to work, Texas border is too huge and right now Truckers don't have a lot of leverage with decreasing shipping volume.

Need more than just some truckers to make the border impenetrable.

[slatyb]

I imagine so, at 1254 miles.

[Agape93]

That's because they have no spine. They just want to go have fun, be seen pretending to do something, and go home and be comfortable.

[msc545]

Harsh but perhaps true!

[Agape93]

That's like bringing lots of alcohol and plan b to a tinder hook ups house, showing it off in the front yard and going home

[msc545]

Even harsher and truer! Try for even better!!

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

It's a shame that this stuff can't be controlled more better.

[NathanDavis]

so... they still got more people than those who went to raid all those other aliens at Area 51? lol

[slatyb]

LOLs. A handful of people with nothing better to do.

[Zestyassmf1997]

The what?

[msc545]

A convoy of right-wing idiots going to Texas to "take back the border".

[Zestyassmf1997]

Good lord…we should just outlaw them and their stupid beliefs.

[msc545]

They kind or trashed themselves. Read the link.

[Zestyassmf1997]

I don’t give clicks to any news sites.

[msc545]

How do you get the news then?

[Zestyassmf1997]

Usually if I hear about something I hear about it through random people. Otherwise I don’t get it at all, which is sort of the point.

[msc545]

Why do you avoid news sources?

[Zestyassmf1997]

They’re all there to mislead. Can’t trust anything they say. Only reason I hear news from people is because I can’t avoid them talking to me about it.

[msc545]

So if you wake up one day and find out the world has been invaded by aliens for the past 10 years and people are just finding out about it now. You won't be real surprised?

[Zestyassmf1997]

I’d probably find out about something like that organically.

[msc545]

You would also find how about it too late to save yourself?

[Zestyassmf1997]

Save myself from something that happened 10 years ago?
