I know where to engage with Trump supporters and unfortunately i dont have to go to another teams message board.
And I know most on the right dont like soccer.
But it kinda baffles me that those not living in the US have such unshakeable views on this and really feel that they need to be heard from London, Cork, Helsinki, Bootle, or whereever Steve and Dyslexic are posting from...
It'd be like me going on a "thoughts on the match day planning at Goodison Park". I don't go to the game.
I'd read the thread and find it interesting to hear what match going blues have to say but I probably wouldnt weigh in.
There's plenty popping up this week, not paying any attention to what Americans on here have to say and just parroting what they read on their tailored Musk feed.
Not one of you has come on here and said "Interesting, didnt think of it that way, thanks for the info, etc."
Here in Boston Evertonians one of our founding members ran for congress in Maine for the GOP this year. He came very close in the primaries. When ever we meet up we have reasonable discussions because he doesn't carry on like the right wingers on here.
Just seems like a bunch of idealists sitting on line with little or nothing to lose, goading those with lots on the line.
You did say Bootle, so i assume you meant me, so here goes.
I am absolutely not Right Wing. But i am finding myself becoming less and less left wing with some of the nonsense that just seems to get more extreme with each passing month.
And as you have rightly said, i have no "dog in the fight" as it were.
But as my initial post in this thread only a few short days ago suggests, and as I've tried to argue since, my stand is not against American people, but against the TDS. The biased media narrative, the lies and the campaigns designed to attack and manipulate opinions in one direction only. And for the last 9 years, there is clearly only 1 direction that has been.
I used an example recently of how i witnessed the media bias go after the character and integrity of Jeremy Corbyn, and it was not subtle.
But compared to what they've tried to do to Trump, it doesnt even scratch the surface.
He has been accused of every heinous thing imaginable, bullshit court cases brought with very little standing, every aspect of his character questioned and dragged through the mud and had attempts made on his life, all in an attempt to prevent someone they never wanted, someone that should never have been able to be where he got to, have power that they greedily kept to themselves in their odious little pit of elite corruption. And he won in spite of all that and he made them look silly. And that upset them. Especially that evil witch Clinton.
If all the media and powers that be, do so much to prevent, hinder, and destroy the possibility of it happening, it makes me question why. And the answer to that is the reason why is popular in the 1st place.
If you can't see that the reason he is as popular as he is, and why the heavily corrupted old guard, on both sides, hate him so much, despite loving him so much before he decided to run, is all because of this, then you are missing the point.
He is the antithesis to what has gone before. Which is why people believe in him and have hope. For real, lasting change. And thats why the powers hate it, and him.
The stupid thing is, if they hadn't gone after him as much as they did, he probably would've passed as inconsequential. But like Obi Wan Kenobi, they tried to strike him down and only made him more powerful.
But they went all in. They looked foolish, and now they are trying everything to stop it happening again.
The fact they are trying to do it with Kamala Harris though is just insanely baffling. She is awful in every way.
here's another question for you Kevin.
If Farage ran in Bootle, would you vote for him?
Absolutely not.
