Dear Trumpkins

a reply to: Burnt1afterlife

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not of the overly "PC" variety of Leftist. I suppose when I did it, it was meant to be attention grabbing more than anything. I find it kind of endearing. Feel free to call me a "Hillbot" if you'd like though it's not precisely accurate.

You won't hurt my feelings.

If it makes you feel any better, had I known it was going to be such a distraction, I wouldn't have used the term.

I guess I just don't get why people are upset that you posted so much stuff critical of Trump?

To me, more threads are good for ATS, regardless of rather I agree with them or not. If I didn't like a thread you made, I just didn't click on it.

Again, I am glad you were hear to challenge me.

Of course it helps that I always win every argument we ever have had.

That's enough, knock it off. Any more butkissin and his head will outgrow his airlock helmet.

He is da E M E E N Y !

His, yours and a few others here had some very good and in depth, make ya think, threads.

Pfft, I know what it means. My point is it's not surprising less people like Trump.

Unless you're going to claim this massive election 'poll' is also invalid.

a reply to: Grambler

I am not surprised at all to see you post a thread like this. As a Trump supporter, you were among my favorite posters on ATS. I found your posts challenged my thoughts and made me think more carefully about how I voted.

Without you and the other Hillary supporters or third party people that disliked Trump, ATS would have been boring about politics in the past year or so. I know there are some people that will be sore winners or losers, but I just want to let you and every other person that was critical of Trump regardless of how they feel today that I appreciated your contributions and hope that you will continue to be critical of my thoughts and beliefs; it makes me a better person.

Now we shall see if Trump is effective as a President or not. If he isn't, I am sure you will find me agreeing with you in criticizing him in the future.

Thank you and that means a lot coming from you. You know that despite our political differences, I have the utmost respect for you and your contributions here.

I wish more people only understood the value of being challenged.

I have had that response to you open in a tab for a while btw, I wanted to say something a little more profound for one of my favorite ATSers but it's been a helluva twenty-four hours and I'm sleep deprived and half braindead now.

What really seems to upset people the most is seeing my threads on the front page. I've been accused more times than I can count of "ruining ATS." I posted a few times in October on Daily Kos (which has a nice posting editor I'll say and ATS should try to implement some of those things like embeded Tweets, image positioning, image captions, the ability to save drafts, etc) but it was a little boring to be honest.

Not that people weren't posting quality material but it's very homogeneous in terms of opinion. I can't even remember what it's like to discuss politics without somebody calling me a shill and telling me I'm ruining everything with all my "shill words" like overt (that actually happened).

C'mon get in here. Let's hug it out!

Aaahhhh...

That's soo cuuute!

Well alright Ante. Now that this $h17 show is over, maybe I can actually read some of your threads and be educated on something I didn't know about before. I'm actually looking forward to finally getting to read some people's threads on here now. It's like I've been in a cloud of policital cow dung and a huge hurricane, we'll call it hurricane Megyn, came and cleaned up all the dung. Time to finally read some non rage inducing stuff from you lot.

Haven't seen Silly since election night... and she was hitting the Election Watch thread pretty hard! I will miss her 140 character twitteresque deflections and talking points.

This is for you guys... you know who you are.

Dawwww!! (((())))

Is that your hose in my hip?

a reply to: theantediluvian

Brave, gracious and reflective in defeat. Well done.

Many others would do well to learn a thing or two from you.

God I knew you guys were crazy but you all kept a list of people you want apologizes from for supporting the other side? And you are still calling them shills and talking down on them.

Da Hell is wrong with you all?

Deplorable isn't it?

I'm just taking note of the names of the people doing it and resolve to avoid ever talking to them or even acknowledging their presence. Hopefully they will just fade away into obscurity when they realise nobody is listening to them.

Thank you for calling me a Trumpkin, but I'm not sure that it isn't derogatory in some way. By the way, the U.S. isn't a Democracy, it is a Republic. A Republic gives the people importance above and beyond the government, while a Democracy does not. Please stop calling the U.S. a Democracy. Ancient Greece is exactly that, ANCIENT.

Dupe

You were ruining ATS. I've never accused you of being a shill because I get accused of that constantly.

You posted so much baseless conjecture and you wouldn't even debate it. You have had so many posts removed for violations it's not even funny. You insulted your fellow ATSers left and right if they dared support Trump.

Then you think this "apology" gives you a free pass to go on business as usual? You lied at the outset of this thread. You can't even be honest in defeat.

I just hope these idiots running about protesting about the result and calling him a fascist hoping to reverse the result will read in to it the very irony of what they are doing. Had the same types here in the UK over Brexit. The people spoke but it wasn't 'their' sort of people so demanded a reversal.

The people spoke, now lets see what gets done!

Hopefully you won't get the same types trying to remove the voice of the people like this Gina Miller person we have, hoping the MP's will stop the Article 50 being asserted because she wants her rich mates in parliament to stop any chances that elites like her might lose out.

Adapt and overcome...
