I watch his rallies on his Twitch channel so that I can see the unedited version, straight from the horse's mouth and it's all fear and chaos that he pushes.

Examples?

Great reason for no more stimulus packages.

Lol. Someone needs to rewrite historical speeches in Trumpese.

Frenzy, you’re up.

[discostu]

Guys, he was kidding. He was being funny. He didn't mean it. He's a jokester.

These aren't actual examples. These are out of context.

Why are you bothering with words? Words don't mean anything. His actions, that's what people care about.

Blah, blah, blah, blah.

Serious question. Why do you refuse to use the multi-quote or edit features?

First of all, I do use both.

Secondly, it’s a writing technique to change up the cadence. You break up long sentences with short ones to keep the reader interested and engaged.

I’m perfectly capable of typing out a wall of text. I’d rather my posts be short and stand on their own when the ideas are separate or tie into each other in a series.

Now here’s a question for you. Did you ask anyone else in this thread the same thing since there is one person I can think of offhand that answers one post at a time?

I'm pretty sure that isn't working either.

Hard to respond to something without reading it. Or do you randomly quote and post replies without doing so?

[discostu]

Trump or Biden, I think the country will just be happy to put an end to this election cycle.

Time to get on with whatever flavor is on deck.

Show me the mandate...this is garbage talk.
Show me when anyone forced a mask mandate during h1n1.

12,500 deaths vs 1.1 million

Fake war stories...go to bed with this nonsense.

2009 CDC swine flu-For swine flu, the CDC doesn't currently recommend mask precautions. Masks are urged only for those with confirmed flu if they share common household space or if they must be in the public.

I guess I just don't notice that you edit and combine your posts. A wall of text to me isn't a few sentences strung into a paragraph. I really just notice you doing it far more than anyone else so I hadn't asked anyone else.

You'll often have 3-4 posts in a row, some of which are replying to people, others are just you saying something random once every 1-2 minutes, 3 posts in a row. I just found it odd and often making it harder to keep up with the thread.

It’s too bad that this is even a conversation renting space in your head....and he is referring to gopher...but many more do it no big deal its a free public forum.
I do it sometimes for the same reasons he explains. If they are related...so what...if random..so what. Some people just wake up and respond because this thread can carry a very long string and responses can be 10 pages deep...who wants to scroll thru all that?
I choose my battles accordingly....Trumpers is my agenda. Not republicans...Trumpers

A lot (I could find a range of numbers, but I won't) of people cull their "news" from their own little social media world and that's problematic for many reasons.

Mostly it's the reach of completely unvetted sources and clickbait headlines. It's a whole industry of quack journalists who are more focused on advertising and beholden to no one.

Which is the same thing NC was saying. That masks (every single person is that crowd had one on? The entire time? Really..?) don't prevent you from getting covid

Either you're trying to make some other point that you haven't been able to convey, or you and NC are in agreement.

What're you worried about?
Things are looking up in Trump's (and therefore, your) war on journalism.
It looks like there'll soon be a lot fewer "red" states for the MSM to libel.

I wouldn't take either at their word.

I usually answer one post at a time. I get a few days, or a couple weeks behind, and I catch up and respond to posts as I go. I may be the only one on here at 4 am, and I answer 7-8 posts over 5 pages in a row.

No.

Biden -175
Trump +155

In the last week, the odds have continued to tilt toward Trump. In 2016, the final line was

Clinton -330
Trump +260
