Hillary Clinton calls for "Formal Deprogramming" of Trump supporters

[ozso]

Democrats didn't raise the motion to vacate the Speaker. Gaetz did that all by himself.


Why would they want to keep him? He has refused to work with them in the past, why would they want that to continue?


Yeah, it's bizarre to think politicians would vote for someone who refuses to work with them, or even listen to them.

Can we get back on topic please?

Just responding to your comments.

But okay.....

What about Hilary's comment?

-- A2SG, and why are you guys taking it more seriously than any of us are?

 

[Bradskii]

What does that have to do with the OP?

Not a lot. I was just answering your question. It's bad manners to ask a question and then complain when it's answered...

I'm just annoyed I let myself get sucked into a derail.

She never proposed any such law, nor any law of any sort. But that hasn't stopped some from clutching their pearls and acting as if she had. Look at the title of this very thread: "Hillary Clinton calls for "Formal Deprogramming" of Trump supporters"

She didn't "call for" any such thing. She specifically said: "Maybe there needs to be..." Not "I call for..."

-- A2SG, you did hear that part, right?

So there is no such post. Thank you

I referenced the TITLE of the thread.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that it's being viewed more critically by those the comment was made against. In addition to all the other "dangerous cult members" rhetoric against them.

Why?

Why should they take that comment any more seriously than, say, Hilary herself takes chants of "Lock her up!", or any number of insults Trump himself has directed toward democrats in general?

-- A2SG, granted, the latter number so much, it's hard to keep track of all of them....

 

[BPPLEE]

Not so much of a complaint as a question: Why can't the GOP can't get their act together?

You may need to edit that post

That’s not what I asked. Why can’t you just admit there never was such a post?

Wow the democrats aren't ever in any way responsible for anything whatsoever.

How do you get that message out of a reply saying that I don't think the video you've presented is evidence of what you say it is? Again, what Democrat would say "I will have to vote for an alternative Republican" or that they are #nevertrump, instead of just not voting Republican in the first place?

 

[KCfromNC]

Is there much precedent for allowing the "not-in-power party" in the house to have the speaker role?

I'm not recalling any instances of that.

Removing the speaker because he wasn't radically conservative enough is also a pretty new thing.

Just think of it as meeting in the middle vs. other proposals to have, say, Hillary be speaker.

 

[KCfromNC]

No it's going on and on about the supposed motives of posters, rather than sticking to the topic.

Another post with empty accusations instead of evidence. There's certainly a pattern forming. I imagine others see it too.

Topic please.

And they were, (they were starting to rally behind DeSantis), until the left basically made Trump a martyr in the eyes of many republicans, and now they're back to backing Trump again.

That, plus the minor issue of him actively campaigning for the next presidential election.

But yeah, ignore that, let's find some way, any way, to pretend that Democrats are at fault for the GOP's radicalization problem.

 

[KCfromNC]

Topic please.

Discussing the lack of evidence for various posts in the thread seem to be on topic - unless those posts being responded to were off topic. Is that the claim?

So do you agree or disagree with Cinton regarding formal deprogramming?

 

[KCfromNC]

Isn't this thread supposed to be about Sec. Clinton's comments that some of Donald's most ardent believers might warrant cult deprogramming?

It was, until the actual quotes showed it to be quite different from what the far right talking points said their followers should believe. Then we were treated to a litany of empty accusations, distractions, and complaints for dragging the thread "off topic" by asking for evidence backing up the GOP version of reality.

Oh, now posts are expected to directly answer questions? If so, I'm still waiting for actual quotes from the people allegedly paraphrased in e.g. post 277.

Yeah what's your opinion regarding what Clinton said?
