Why would you want to silence people you disagree with? That sounds contrary to the American way.
they don't care. Trump is their corrupt political girlfriend and if they admit now that they were conned (which is obvious) then they admit they are idiots. it's an ego thing at this point.
Remind them that Trump doesn't give a **** about the 2nd Amendment.
Trumpco has not given them a script for it.
So, they shut the **** up.
It's amazing.
Give it a try.
How do you square your opinion about Trump supporting the Constitution
with Trump's opinion the govt should confiscate Americans' guns
even when it lacks the right to?

The "funny" part is that people in the Roosevelt Room at the time kept reminding Trump that the govt must respect Americans' rights.
Trump was having none of that respecting Americans' rights BS.
Trump just kept on about how he wanted to violate the 2nd Amendment.
Another left wing "I hate free speech" thread.
Another right-wing "I refuse to actually read and will make up deflections" post.
I believe that this phenomenon, which is a real.psychological thing, is the sole reason modern conservatism continues to exist.
Most of us are genetically predisposed to follow. We are a social species and most must follow lest we get nothing done fighting to see who is on top.
But follwers need to believe in who they follow. If it turns out their leader is a venal asshole, they are still reluctant to admit it to themselves. It causes an existential crisis, not being able to select a leader properly.
So they cling to the one they have and tell themselves whatever they need to tell themselves to avoid the pain and uncertainty that rejecting their leader would cause.

See what I mean?

...or restrict reporters from covering an American President. or hide info from the American people. or, hell, breaking tradition and not showing personal taxes as a candidate (to give the American people more info on each candidate).
Southern men standing up for the New York City crook and con man. this will make for the best movies.

It's always BEEN about the ego.
If you can convince the poorest and worst Trumper that they are better than the best and richest liberal, they won't care if you pick their pockets. Hell, give them somebody to look down on, and they'll empty their pockets for you.
That's all it's ever been about because that is the secret to Trump's success, which is WHY we keep hearing and seeing carbon copies of the same boilerplate rhetoric in post after post and thread after thread.
These idiots don't speak original words and they don't think original thoughts, they just bark in unison when Trump rings the bell, just like Pavlov's dogs.

So you have a case right now where somebody can buy a handgun at 21. Now, this is not a popular thing to say, in terms of the NRA. But I’m saying it anyway. I’m going to just have to say it. But you can’t buy — I mean, think of it. You can buy a handgun — you can’t buy one; you have to wait until you’re 21. But you can buy the kind of weapon used in the school shooting at 18. I think it’s something you have to think about.
SENATOR MANCHIN: It’s a no-brainer.
SENATOR FEINSTEIN: Would you sign this?
THE PRESIDENT: So — I’ll tell you what, I’m going to give it a lot of consideration. And I’m the one bringing it up. And a lot of people don’t even want to bring it up because they’re afraid to bring it up.
But you can’t buy a handgun at 18, 19, or 20. You have to wait until you’re 21. But you can buy the gun, the weapon used in this horrible shooting, at 18.
You are going to decide — the people in this room, pretty much, are going to decide. But I would give very serious thought to it. I can say that the NRA is opposed to it. And I’m a fan of the NRA. I mean, there’s no bigger fan. I’m a big fan of the NRA. They want to do it. These are great people. These are great patriots. They love our country. But that doesn’t mean we have to agree on everything. It doesn’t make sense that I have to wait until I’m 21 to get a handgun, but I can get this weapon at 18. I don’t know.
So I was just curious as to what you did in your bill.
SENATOR TOOMEY: We didn’t address it, Mr. President,
Speaking for yourself and your ilk, are ya'?
and maybe the leftist candidates ?
It seems a specific description applicable only to socialists/communists.

Many of us "Trump supporters" are simply voting against the political left. We'll vote against Biden just the same way we voted against Clinton. There's no rule that I have to endorse everything Trump does or says anynore than there is that I have to endorse anything Biden and the nut gone left endorse.
they don't care. Trump is their corrupt political girlfriend and if they admit now that they were conned (which is obvious) then they admit they are idiots. it's an ego thing at this point.
You've proven that 95% of your perceptions of the left consist of a well funded false narrative that exaggerates pretty much everything.
We have our fringe just as the right has theirs but for the last twenty or twenty five years you've been taught that our fringe IS our mainstream.
Hordes of people on the other side can sit here and tell you guys straight out what we believe and you just sit there calling us liars, and then repeating carbon copy crap that you just heard on right wing media.
