Who said he's the great Satan, you can disagree with a pick without hyperbole.

I was responding to a poster claiming that Trump supporters are like a cult. This posted on a thread about Trump's pick of Kavanagh. So what about picking Kavanagh equates to a cult or what makes Kavanagh so bad that he is the great satan?
I am not a trump loyalist. I dint vote for him and never will. What I see in Trump loyalists is the same thing I saw in Hillary supporters and Obama supporters. A blind devotion and a ready excuse.
People have turned into political groupies.

I wasn’t complaining that they called him a “white man”. I just pointed it out, as well as the fact that in their minds, that is a bad thing. They were complaining that Trump picked a “white man”.

I dont think that is a bad thing, so why would I be “complaining about it”?

What I DO think is a bad thing, is that his race and gender even matters to them.

Calling someone a white man, an complaining about someone being a white man are two completely different things.

Funny thing is, Trump could have appointed a liberal, and those protesters would have still been out there. I doubt most of them even know his name or what he stands for. They have been planning all week, and they were going to protest the nominee no matter who it is.

Two of the other four finalists were more conservative than Kavanaugh. The Heritage Foundation and far-right Trumpers are celebrating this pick outwardly, but inside they were like "ummm, what?"

As most rational and informed people are aware, Trump made this pick to protect his own ass, not to please the conservatives.

You tell me. You are the one complaining about someone stating the fact that the guy is white. No, they didn't say it is a bad thing, you inserted that into their mouths. The alt-right overplayed the "violent riots " card. It didn't happen, and now you are reduced to complaining about someone saying he is a white man. Yes, he is white. So what?
