Trump himself was bullied by everyone. All he did was stand up for himself, which of course is unacceptable to a bully.

Do you have any comments on anything else I wrote or did you just want to indulge your TDS?
So in your world Trump was a poor 'victim'. Hilarious

And you are hoping for the safety in downvotes because there are an abnormal amount of conservatives here to protect you (Victim). Maybe you should muster up the guts to state your opinion without the safety of feeling popular.

Note the words "traffic stop", "police", "bullies". You made the connection - I simply responded to it. !I did not see the post in which the analogy was made. Under normal circumstances, I would apologize, but since you've decided that full attack mode is the appropriate response, I'm willing to play it that way as well.

Or are you saying the first sentence was just superfluous and not related to the remainder of the post? If so, why include it? Not sure what part of what I posted you are disagreeing with.
No I did not make that connection. The reference was first made here, post #97.

I was responding to that post.

The idea that traffic stops are bullying is something that is associated with the defund the police movement, which I am not part of although I agree that occasionally some police act like bullies.

There was a motive ascribed fo me which I denied, and now you are doubling and tripling down on something I never brought up or said, only was responding to. I didn’t go into “full attack mode” but only said that because your premise was wrong, everything that followed was irrelevant.

Yes, in some ways I do believe Trump was a victim, of the elaborate Russia hoax for one thing, of Democrats who vowed on day one to impeach him, to “resist”, of a media that edited his statements to make him look like he was saying something he was not, of an elitist system that refused to accept him or give him any credit. His supporters were also bullied...Maxine Waters called for Trump supporters to be harassed and intimidated.

The downvoting comment was in regards to the fact that the first post was “but Trump.” I would actually like to discuss other things besides Trump, but some people seem obsessed. They take every thread remotely applicable and make it an opportunity to bash Trump. I don’t know what you are talking about regarding popularity or having guts; I stated my opinion quite clearly and stand by it.

He was a victim in everyone's world. It's just that a lot of people are unable to perceive that world accurately.

Thanks for posting another example of the temper tantrums the leftists did, I'd forgotten about that one , although the "other side" I was referring to was the right.

Exactly but the Women’s March was not a temper tantrum ... but an example of (bullies winning); the types of protests that only one person in the history of persons could spark --- globally.

"On the first full day of Donald Trump’s presidency, hundreds of thousands of people crowd into the U.S. capital for the Women’s March on Washington, a massive protest in the nation’s capital aimed largely at the Trump administration and the threat it represented to reproductive, civil and human rights.

At the same time, more than 3 million people in cities across the country and around the world held their own simultaneous protests in a global show of support for the resistance movement. It was the largest single-day protest in U.S. history." (my bold for emphasis)

I thought they all simply looked ridiculous wearing those silly looking pink hats, hard to take them seriously.
