Well, if this shoe fits.

Good lord. And they call US snowflakes! Guess they were triggered by the Declaration of Independence!

That pretty much sums it up.
Perfect summation.

Once again the Trumpers show us who they are and just how simple minded they are. The good news is that they are not Republicans, they are not Democrats, they are hardly even Americans and their leader is a senile old man who is too unhealthy to last very long. Thus they will fade back into the stench from whence they arose. They peaked Nov 8th 2016.

I wonder what made them think that?

‘Calling for a revolution!’: Trump fans ‘triggered’ after NPR tweets out the Declaration of Independence
So, by your "standards" a couple of Trump supports said things and you imply thta ALL Trump supports think this way.

Using your "reasoning", EVERY dem is a liar because Bill Clinton, a dem, was found guilty of lying in court.

Keep it up and the over 1,400 LOST political seat will only increase!


Reading comprehension is a good thing.

It says a lot about Trump supporters when they reflexively identify their boy with the prince. There is a lot going on in the back of their minds they are not fully aware of ...

NPR has tweeted the Declaration of Independence before, no? Well with this heavily partisan atmosphere we've created it could be conceived that many people thought NPR was using the Declaration of Independence to make a point about Trump as though he is a reckless tyrant? I am giving the twitter users the benefit of the doubt but I highly doubt they knew it was the Declaration. Either way I think it was less about dumb conservatives responding to NPR without figuring out that they were using the Declaration and more about what it was they were saying given the media's bias.

All it points to is that we have a super charged hyper partisan atmosphere where the news media is very much against President Trump, so anything remotely critical or seeming to insinuate revolt or resistance against the Prez by a known left wing media outlet would elicit a response, whether well thought out or not.

Of course, I guess liberals will eat this up and use it as a claim that cons are not the real patriots they claim they are because they cannot recognize the country's founding document.

Thumbs up NPR tweets out Declaration of Independence today, Trump supporters accuse them of partisanship

Trumplings...

They hate the Declaration of Independence. Probably the Constitution, too.

So amusing.

Carry on.

Perhaps NPR should read the Charter for the United Federation of Planets next and watch Trumpers go really bonkers.

Your use off the word moron is funny considering the content of most of your posts.

It really does, doesn't it? They naturally assumed the prince was Trump. Why would they do that if they don't, deep down, know it's true? They gave themselves away here.
