You’re a mind reader, too! Honestly, one of the biggest reasons people I know support Trump, myself included, is that he stands up to this kind of politically correct bullying.

Thanks for this. You just confirmed that you’re a tribalist and that everything you say can be safely ignored.

Yes, everyone who does not agree must be ignored and cast out – they’re racist and tribalist and bad bad stupid inferior people. This is how you got Trump, by the way. Such condescension.

I have as much right to express my opinions as you. That’s not bullying by any definition. We’ll see who wins in the end at the ballot box, shall we? I’m not wasting any more of my limited time trying to convince you to change your opinions, time that could be much better and more profitably/enjoyably spent in any number of activities.
Have a nice life.

Maybe best not to assume you know that anyone who voted for Obama twice and then Trump is a white supremacist. That verges on personal attack. It has the other problem of being really bad as an opinion.

I don’t give a fuck about your disagreements or your opinions. You want to support Trump? Go right ahead. That’s your right in a proper democracy.

No, the sole reason why you are dismissible is because you are a self-identified tribalist. No more, no less.

So much for ignoring me, eh? Take the buzzwords and go to the bubble you clearly want to live in. And at least do what you say you’ll do.

He’s typing again boys!

I said everything you say can be safely ignored. It’s up to everyone else to do so or not. And as you noticed, I choose to engage you in ever more fruitful discussion!

And tribalist is a ‘buzzword’ that accurately describes who you are so why shouldn’t I use it? You’re self-identified after all.

I also like bananas and the color blue. Big time tribalist over here.

That’s great! Can you tell me how you feel about Panama disease?

I also enjoy walks and playing piano by the way. Not sure if that is tribalism too but I need you to know so you can find the most accurate dismissive buzzword possible without having to do any kind of critical thinking.

You’re hiding behind a dumb buzzword because you’ve uncharitably interpreted “support for Trump” as “support for Trump in all he does,” which is a condescending sleight of hand you can’t justify. Back to your bubble!

You seem confused, so let me run it by you again.

Self-identified.

And that’s the great part! I don’t need to do any critical thinking because by you admitting to be a tribalist I can safely ignore everything you say. Thanks for saving me and everyone else the cognitive effort! You are a true patriot of the mental arts.

When you dance with the devil, the devil doesn’t change - the devil changes you.

No snowflake! You’re the snowflake!

The mental gymnastics aren’t worth it. The beautiful thing about your posts is there’s literally a guy upthread who says all Trump supporters who previously voted for Obama are white supremacists, but you have not a single bad adjective to muster for that guy.

Then someone says he “supports” Trump in any way? Tribalist! Safe to ignore! It’s adorable and sad at the same time.

Just acknowledge you don’t like dissenting points of view in your bubble, which excludes non-approved perspectives with dismissive flourish — sort of like a tribe, but way less cool.

I got to say – for someone who “can safely” ignore anything I say (is it ever “dangerous” to ignore anyone on a message board?), you’re doing a lot of responding.

Oh look, it’s the guy who doesn’t want his political opponents to be able to vote. Speaking of tribalism!

What it like to be such a fucking snowflake that you’d live in a authoritarian nightmare and betray your country just cause someone said something about you that gave you a bad feel? On second thought don’t answer, because it will be bullshit and you playing your imaginary victim card.

“Sure racism is bad, but not as bad as having someone point our racism? Amiright? Wait we’re doing Seig Heils now? Okay, it’s fine as long as those people that called me a name go to the camps.”

“Snowflake” is an even less original one-word dismissive adjective than “tribalist,” but the taunts are getting angrier.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think we live in an authoritarian nightmare. In fact, the checks and balances are holding well. I also don’t think anyone is betraying anyone’s country. I’m also not really playing the “victim” – unless pointing out that other people are trying to silence debate with dumb adjectives is playing the “victim.”

When I check these threads in the morning and see dozens of new posts I think something interesting happened overnight. Turns out, it’s just gman or that other gamergate dude going “Nyah nyah libcucks” and y’all swarming.

Your hate makes them stronger. Just ignore.
