Do you like the style of politicians such as Trump and Milei?

[MerakSahibi]

Please don't approach the question ideologically. Maybe it's a new generation thing, but these people are very different from the traditional stereotype of the serious politician. They make jokes, enjoy arguing, make controversial statements, speak in a harsh and direct way, and sometimes even insult people. They can be quite entertaining.

In that sense, they are very different from someone like Hitler.

Yes, I like it

I voted for Donald Trump, I voted for Donald Trump because I thought he'd create a better America for everyone but after reading 800 or so pages on Queer Feminist theory I realise how much I've been duped. You gotta understand I come from a small steel town in Pennsylvania if I had known the foundational texts on intersectional theory I would never have chanted "lock her up lock her up!"

We were told Hillary Clinton was the enemy but it's clear now the true enemy is a patriarchal capitalist soceity that maintains its ascendance by making powerful and ambitious women appear threatening only to protect my status in a system purposely designed to benefit CISET white males like myself. Jesus.

Wheñ Donald Trump said that he would make America great again, it's obvious to me now that he was only trying to play off my own complicity and comfort in an unequal social structure that disproportionately strips women and minorities particularly trans and genderqueer people of color of their autonomy and seeks to subjugate and inveterate to an intentionally antagonistic androcratic order. I get that now after I attended a gender-fluid non-binary poetry slam at the Swarthmore. A couple of other guys from work attended it too and now it's all we talk about on the line.

I liked Trump because he tells it like it is but do you know who teally tells it like it is? Judith Butler "Gender is not to culture as sex is to nature; gender is also the discursive/cultural means by which 'sexed nature' or 'A natural sex' is produced and established as prediscursive, prior to culture, a politically neutral surface on which culture acts"

Why I now regret voting for Trump!

If I had just known thst back in November 2016 I would have never voted for Trump. God... how could I have been so stupid?

When you have someone who is supposed to be the leader of the country being coarse, insulting, denigrating the disabled among others, threatening others, and generally being disrespectful and hateful it is on view for the whole world to see as an example of what is acceptable. You are giving permission for the hateful people to come out and spew their venom publically. As the children watch this I can't imagine this behavior promoting a more civil society where debate over difference is prized above merely beating down those that are less physically able, or influential than you.

Thanks for MHO

[lilBigPotato]

Nope. Too much lying and insults. Independent of your political direction I think that you should treat people with respect. You can be direct and make jokes without being an asshole.

[purplepoppy]

No it simply shows these people lack class. Comments like those damage relationships for decades

• "but these people are very different from the traditional stereotype of the serious politician"

Trump comes from the advertising and marketing industry. In such industry, controversy is a blunt tool, to hit hard, establish your presence as much as possible and reap profit in return. When such strategy actually works with the audience you target though. Trump transferred that to politics, gambled with social media and won the pot.

Same tricks used by Lukashenko, Kadyrov, or Putin I'd say

To be a good politician or statespersom you need to understand diplomacy, it's part of the gig , running tangents like a madman/ woman making decisions for others on the spot does not constitute the ethics required in a delicate situation.. diplomacy required.


Not railroading.

Since when is Trump a politician?
-
Since when do we call the disorder he has a "style"?
-
If this bloke were my direct neighbour, I'd build my own wall. Even if this costs me all daylight.
-
As for 'do I like it':
to an extent that would justify to pity him.
Which I do not.

[andreasderjuengere]

Oops: I forgot about Milei. He may leave now.

[AviatorTom]

Trump is not a politician. He's a businessman, and runs government like a business. which is why the left and the media don't like him. He doesn't do things in the way they are used to.

[stevethecoolguy]

Nah I am fine with night show sequel comedy but feel there is a level of professionalism that is needed, and I feel this about both sides. I miss the Romney Obama days of respect even through disagreement.

[SeekerOfTruth007]

I don't really like Trump. I just voted for him to keep baby-killing democrats and lgbtqs out of office.

[strateguy632]

speaking like that, the way we all speak, is good because that made trump relatable. people felt 'he is one of us'.

[Snakeyes7]

As long as they do their job, I couldn't care less about decorum. If anything people like them are so popular because direct that stuff to those who the people felt needed to hear it for a long time.
