You mistook me for a Trump sycophant some ubermensch of understanding you are. Derp.

StA doesn't play the victim anywhere near as often as monte, kath and ooky these days. When he does play victim, it is most often because he is being berated by an avalanche of strawmen, there is no more strawmanned member of the board except maybe nukedog or Kath. One of the reasons Kath has turned to into an anti-Trump reactionary, she is sick of being called a Hillary supporter by folks who are retaliating for being dismissed as Trump sycophants by her, but she overcompensates and now picks her battles regarding Trump very poorly because she's all butthurt about it.
BjornP wrote:Nonsense. Look at the news about Russia and Syria, instead of just Trump. People think all (negative) news about Russia or Syria is fake news because they believe it's tied to some sort of MSM "fake news" culture, or conspiracy (admittedly only few believe in the latter).
Most of the Russia stuff the anti-Trump side talks about is fake news. On the Syria tip plenty of folks that have been lumped in as Trump sycophants have called out others for being so sure Russia or Assad wasn't behind the gas attack.
You're right, they have criticized him on the online privacy issue and - for some reason - they got surprised that he wouldn't get less involved in the ME despite promising excatly that during his campaign (on "annihilating" ISIS) and that he'd increase US military might. That's lately, though.
Nah every last one of them have criticized him from the beginning, not just lately. Just because they didn't criticize him as often the anti-Trumpers did doesn't mean they never criticized him when the situation called for it.
Seriously, what forum are you reading? SilverEagle threatened to curb-stomp Atanamis not too long ago for calling him out on his thin-skinned intolerance of "gay propaganda". Doesn't get more hysterical than that.
I saw there exchange and that doesn't make SilverEagle one of the foremost victim player on this forum. What forum are you reading?
Oh it's full blown clique, Kath, montegriffo, ooky, grumpycatface, penner, etc.
They honestly think the only reason anyone would find fault with their criticisms of Trump is because they are his sycophants, if they weren't his sycophants than they would be applauding their worst arguments against Trump instead of defending him for such nonsense. It's fucking ridiculous and they strawman the other clique far more often than that clique they rail against strawman's them. You might not see it, but this is the reality.

GCF has the non-interventionism policy in common with most of the (up untill recently) Trump supporters. While Monte has been criticising the Assad regime, I don't recall him arguing for military intervention, either. Penner, I can't recall. Kath seems to be in favor of military intervention.
[/quote]I don't think there are only two sides to a debate. I am pointing at tendencies in group of people who don't agree on every issue, but on the issue of Trump they go lumping in everyone who doesn't agree with all of their criticisms of him as Trump sycophants expressing opinions that only Trump sycophants would have, even when they are totally off the mark.
