JPR OP Title "Lots of Mistaken Trump Defenders on JPR" For once someone there is right

"Get past the surface and you’ll see that ALL of Trump’s actions to date have advanced the interests of the wealthiest and most powerful. What a coincidence..."

--------------------------------------------------------------------
And yet several folks there voted for Trump and said as much proudly. Folks many of us here thought we knew. Many folks in that thread are still trying to justify their votes there and explain why it was better to vote Trump.

And in advance of those folks who are going to reply criticizing me for talking about JPR, it is important to examine how people saying they are on the left can go off the rails to the point they supported this loon we have in the White House, screwing us all.

1. i don't think we should ever stop calling them out

I already see people trying to defend stein and similar types here.

[Squinch]

4. Really! Right after the story came out that Putin was not only propping up Trump, but

was also helping along ALL of Hillary's opponents, including Stein.

I thought that timing was interesting.

[Squinch]

2. LOL! They're just getting around to realizing this. Those kids crack me up!

Especially the part where they talk about what great Progressives they are.

[Gothmog]

3. There are a ton of trumpies on JPR

JPR is the home of russian fake news and trump supporters

[bravenak]

5. Uh oh. The Person who despises Trump will get bashed over there

I bet they ban the op for posting it. I watched their former mod (TM99, I think) and member go full Trumponian recently and it was ugly. He got banned but he had more supporters than detractors.

6. Someone pointed this thread to me about a week ago. It was extremely disappointing

https://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/i-am-not-a-team-player-long/

At least there were responses in that thread that recognized what a danger trump poses, but there were also enough responses that were very disturbing.

[kcr]

8. I remember when she posted here.

She toned down her right wing whackiness then, but it was still evident. She's nuts.

[still_one]

11. Something seems loose up there. As I mentioned, at least there were responses that recognized just

how off-balanced it was

[stevenleser]

9. The OP defriended me on FB around the time she penned that because I refused to refight the primary

with her on my page. Yes, in early February 2017 she wanted to refight the primary.

[still_one]

15. I think that is fortunate Steve. There is nothing that can gained from people with that mindset

that fail to recognize just how much peril the country is in because of trump

[JI7]

14. she posted some fucked up sexist shit when she was here

[still_one]

16. I didn't follow it that much when she was here, but no doubt about it

[mentalsolstice]

19. She was also an ableist.

She despised people who were on SSDI. She even wrote negatively about her own sister's receipt of benefits.... who eventually died from complications from MS.

[tammywammy]

23. Surprising since she was pushing a snake oil for premie infants.

A cerebral palsy cure that she just couldn't get legit medical studies done on.

[mentalsolstice]

25. Oh how well I know!

I waged war with her on that one. I don't think her efforts were out of benevolence....

[MyNameGoesHere]

21. And still DU will not designate that site

Pro Republican, pro tRump, and pro Russian site. In other words the enemy of America and progressives.

[Cha]

28. Wow! Isn't she just the little

smug-self-righteous brainwashed igit.

I would want to feel a little bit sorry for someone that brainwashed but she helped fuck up the Planet for everyone else who isn't. brainwashed..

So no.. she owns a big chunk of the crisis now.

[mreilly]

7. That site is boring and tiresome

... I checked it out during the DU outage after the election but there wasn't anything to see except for rambling BS and whining about DU. Truth be told I've never read a single compelling post on that site. Zero content value.

[Laurian]

10. To me, that site is more dedicated to Hillary hate than anything.

I wish I hadn't looked at your link. The posts there make me physically ill...especially some of the awful posts from people I used to see here.

[moda253]

12. Wow... wow

fuck.


I can't even respond. Why did I click your link?

[Agschmid]

13. Not shocked, this is a waste of our time.

I know, I know.

I'll get called out for this but it's just plain stupid, they left. They were never democrats to start with, let's move on and quit the grade school bullshit.

[ismnotwasm]

17. That is probably an attempt at damage control

They are a site founded on hate, and are reaping what that grows.

Place is full of crazy, bigoted and sexist creeps--many of whom proudly voted for Trump and bragged about calling Hillary a c**t.

They can go fuck themselves. I do agree they need to be exposed for the weak minded hypocrites they are.

[betsuni]

18. In that thread they spew long vulgar unhinged rants about Hillary,

and then the comment: "We have some of the most polite people on the internet." And amid a thread with plenty of pro-Trump comments, there are always a few insisting they've never seen any pro-Trump comments on JPR.

[ismnotwasm]

20. I admit it bothers me that some people think it's just fine

To post over there and then come to DU. I always consider the source...but gross.

[betsuni]

22. I completely agree.

Choose one or the other, have some integrity.

[mcar]

24. Lots on that thread bragging about their Trump vote

and defeating "that evil b!1#h Hillary."

[Cha]

27. Lots of Bullshit to follow
