Get out of the Democrat run cesspools. Build an old fashioned carbon emitting campfire. Teach your grandaughters how to shoot commie tin cans. Pour a tall gin and short tonic. Meet, greet and break bread. Americans like Trump's message and leadership and are unfailingly great people .

MSgt Steve Sweeney OK. If you're sure that's what you want. But you'll miss out on some brilliant observations.

CWO4 Terrence Clark - Chief Clark,
I am always interested in why some people always choose the wrong side in politics or a fight. Please continue!

Most Liberals who have chosen to simply hate Trump won't care. I'm not a fan of Trump myself (I don't hate him though), as a conservative, but I don't waste my time trying to find something wrong with everything he does, nor do I fail to take note of his accomplishments. However, I have found myself in the middle of a few of "Trump train" get togethers at restaurants, at the beach, and even while boating. They are in fact diverse, fun loving, respectful people whom I imagine only get riled up when people act disrespectfully toward them purposefully and constantly. Essentially no different than any other human being getting challenged by another in a similar manner. But no, to most Liberals (maybe not this one who conducted this "experiment" in the article), they all fit a specific mold, which ironically can in fact be attributed to the people who hold liberal rallies and protests.

In my experience from the Desert Storm period up until this point, I have witnessed a multitude of liberal rallies and protests. The first was when I was in college, and I decided to show up to a "Support our Troops" rally during Desert Storm. Being a cadet in the AFROTC, I thought it prudent to support the people I was about to join in the near future. It was not advertised or meant to support the war, President Bush, or denounce Iraq, and none of that rhetoric was even articulated during the event. That is until a small group of "no blood for oil" folks showed up and tried to shout down our efforts to sign a huge banner of support to those deployed in the Middle East, and collect care package items to ship to each of the bases. So yes, people responded to the protestors. Mostly to ask why the hell they chose to politicize what was meant to be a non-political event. Since then, I've seen many other rallies organized by those pushing left sided rhetoric. Most are consistently and obnoxiously loud, in your face/confrontational, and even violent. This isn't to say Trump rallies don't have that. I just don't see nearly the same, and when I do, it is usually an outlier person(s) vs the whole group participating.

So, I don't look for or join any of these events, but considering I travel a lot and I traverse many focal points (white house and other DC areas, the gates into military bases, and popular city centers), you tend to come across these rallies going on every now and then. But going back to the first example I remember, there was a stark contrast to how I was treated by the "no blood for oil" protestors, when I simply asked why they are politicizing a support the troops rally, vs the conversations I had with Trump supporters, while making note to them I'm not a fan of a lot of his rhetoric. They understood, respected my opinion, and continued to be friendly to all. fast forward to the Fall of 2001 after 9/11, I could not help but giggle during the time I saw a rally going on at the Peterson AFB gate in which the Security Forces warned the anti-war protestors not to block traffic or cross the line marking federal property. As I waited in line to enter the base, I watched one idiot challenge the instructions and jump over the line, only to get jacked up. Totally made my day.

I didn't ask you (or anyone for that matter) why you hate him and as someone who is not a "Trump cult" follower, I disagree. I also note the absolute negative, disillusioned, assumption based, and overly emotional perspective you continuously put forth. We get it, you don't like Trump. Frankly, I've lost interest in why you dislike Trump and yet you still seem to take any opportunity you can to tell the world how much you hate him.

I can only hope you know better not to act irresponsibly on your perspective, as many people I've observed on the left have done.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - I have yet to see a CEO or a world leader that isn't a narcissist. Most are also great "bad" men and women. Thankfully for all of us the worst of them (no not Trump), have yet to kill us off.

SFC (Join to see) - Well I understand your feelings, however things are seldom as simple as we try to make them. The only thing I would say is that hatred harms you exclusively. The object of your hatred probably doesn't know that you are alive, and your opinion wouldn't even faze him. Be Gentler to yourself.

All your posts are emotional and on top of it, you seem to use the down vote to vent that emotion. It has nothing to do with whether you're female or not. That's called a deflection... When you get called on something that deep down you probably know, you cry sexist. Your posts are completely one sided, you

I think you need to check yourself and review your past statements when Trump comes up. Yes, you do take every opportunity to state your dislike of him, which can easily have one assume you hate him. That's fine, I could care less about your feelings for him and I'm not a fan of his rhetoric. But I can also look at things critically and draw correlations to the past, people's inconsistent perceptions, and what people avoid saying in their statements. You commented on MY post and it's not the first time. Each time you have expressed your severe "dislike" for Trump, made outlandish statements about sexism on my part, and voted me down. You talk about how people can have a conscious voting for or even liking Trump, and yet for all the accusations you throw his way, other leaders can observe the same actions to include our current President. Should I assume you did not vote and you "dislike" Biden too?

By "Act irresponsibly..." I mean; To do something stupid, illegal, against UCMJ, or to unfairly lash out at someone (a friend, family member, or subordinate) for having a different opinion than your own.

I am not either. I am sure he was because he believes the lies that the mainstream media spreads.
