OFFICIAL: Donald Trump thread.

[AddiX]

Nothing to watch, sorry.

Addix will get banned soon enough.

He's been banned over and over for making false charges against me.

He's just too stupid to learn.

It's this childish game he plays for whatever reason. Like I said, e-beefing with married middle-aged men on Internet forums seems to really get him off for whatever reason.

You've already admitted I was right multiple times. That's why you run to mods when I expose your pathetic life.

Imagine being the wife of 1bad, 46 year old free loader, who spends all of hs time on 20+ Internet forums crying to mods because a poster is getting on him.

Why don't you get your lazy useless elderly ass off the internet and give her a baby so she doesn't need to be a pathetic cat woman for the rest of her life.

Oh that's right, because you have low test and can't have kids!

[1bad65]

Damn 1bad65 your pops bought you a mustang.

Nope.

Paid for it, and got the loan, all by myself. Every dime, including all the go-fast mods.

Don't be stupid and believe liars like Addix. He's been banned over and over for this, as the charges are false. You know this.

My parents bought me my first car as a teenager (but kept it in their name). It was as old as I was. At 21, I bought my first car and I've bought every car I've owned since.

My daddy wasn't around I had to get it on my own. That's the difference between me and you. I"m self made. You get stuff given to you.

Nope. We're the same in terms of being self made, actually.

Everything I own I paid for myself or together with my wife.

Though others have more, alot have less. We're happy with what we've rewarded ourselves with. Too bad everyone else can't be that way.

Jealousy and envy are two very ugly emotions. Don't let them consume you as they've consumed life's losers like Addix.

I saw your youtube videos and your posts on other boards. You use the same name all across the internet. I won't post it here because I don't want to get banned but everybody can see for themselves that AddiX is telling the truth. I saw it when I first came on the board and he posted it but I rarely talked to you so it was no reason for me to bring it up. Don't be ashamed you had a good father that bought you stuff. But now I know why you're so curious about how I make my money. The concept of getting it how you live is foreign to you.

I saw your youtube videos and your posts on other boards.

I don't have a YouTube account. Never have. I actually have zero social media presence as well.

That's one way I knew he was lying straight off (that, and his serious accusations of crimes which I've never committed).

Yes, I use this handle on some forums.

That said, others can obviously use it who aren't me. I could create a username on a forum or YouTube or anywhere else and name it "MotorCityCobra". Doesn't mean it's you, of course.

You use the same name all across the internet. I won't post it here because I don't want to get banned but everybody can see for themselves that AddiX is telling the truth.

Again, that proves nothing as anyone, Addix included, can go to forums, YouTube, etc and create a 1bad65 account and do with it what they choose and say it was me. It's not rocket science.

As I said, other than my age (which he is off on), none of it is true.

I don't make, or accept e-challenges, and never have, even when I actively trained. So his nonsense about me and some "elderly Kung-Fu guy" is just that, nonsense.

Yes, I had a Karate guy older than me from another State make repeated e-challenges to me (and many others on that site), but I never accepted them. iirc, that loon did call my gym asking for me, and I got very pissed off (and rightly so). But never once did I e-challenge or e-threaten anyone. Not my style.

I'm a face-to-face type guy. I grew up in the 80s, back when you had to talk smack to a guy's face.

This may surprise you, but most instructors frown on e-challenges. Many gyms will throw you out for such nonsense. The primary gym I trained at back then would throw you out for making an e-challenge, though you were free to accept them (which I did not do, as 99% of them are just talk and no fighting anyway). And even if you were challenged and accepted, he didn't allow the fight in his gym.

Don't be ashamed you had a good father that bought you stuff.

I'm not ashamed of anything, and wouldn't be ashamed if my dad did buy me 100 cars.

But that fact is he didn't.

I just want the truth told. And the truth is, other than my first car as a teen, I bought every one of my many cars.

But now I know why you're so curious about how I make my money. The concept of getting it how you live is foreign to you.

Wrong again.

I was curious because you tended to brag about your possessions, yet lived in a neighborhood that was a warzone. That's the reason behind my curiosity.

Nope, I'm a middle-class working guy. Other than when I was in college, I've had a full time job since I was 21. Part-time jobs since I was 16.

Part of that is the fact my parents DIDN'T have the money to buy me all the things I wanted back then. I had to buy them myself. Hence me working since I was 16, the legal age to get a job.

I hope this clears the record.

It sucks having to defend oneself against false charges, and it's the only reason I even bothered to respond.

It's a sad state of affairs someone can get so worked up that another human being annoyed them on an Internet forum by disagreeing with them on politics, that they make it their life's work to hassle that person like a Fatal Attraction scorned woman.

The Trump effect: New study connects white American intolerance and support for authoritarianism

The research suggests that when intolerant white people fear democracy may benefit marginalized people, they abandon their commitment to democracy.

A new study, however, suggests that the main threat to our democracy may not be the hardening of political ideology, but rather the hardening of one particular political ideology. Political scientists Steven V. Miller of Clemson and Nicholas T. Davis of Texas A&M have released a working paper titled "White Outgroup Intolerance and Declining Support for American Democracy." Their study finds a correlation between white American's intolerance, and support for authoritarian rule. In other words, when intolerant white people fear democracy may benefit marginalized people, they abandon their commitment to democracy.

Miller and Davis used information from the World Values Survey, a research project organized by a worldwide network of social scientists which polls individuals in numerous countries on a wide range of beliefs and values. Based on surveys from the United States, the authors found that white people who did not want to have immigrants or people of different races living next door to them were more likely to be supportive of authoritarianism. For instance, people who said they did not want to live next door to immigrants or to people of another race were more supportive of the idea of military rule, or of a strongman-type leader who could ignore legislatures and election results.

The World Values Survey data used is from the period 1995 to 2011 — well before Donald Trump's 2016 run for president. It suggests, though, that Trump's bigotry and his authoritarianism are not separate problems, but are intertwined. When Trump calls Mexicans "rapists," and when he praises authoritarian leaders, he is appealing to the same voters.

Miller and Davis' paper quotes alt right, neo-fascist leader Richard Spencer, who in a 2013 speech declared: "We need an ethno-state so that our people can ‘come home again’… We must give up the false dreams of equality and democracy." Ethnic cleansing is impossible as long as marginalized people have enough votes to stop it. But this roadblock disappears if you get rid of democracy. Spencer understands that white rule in the current era essentially requires totalitarianism. That's the logic of fascism.

Trump's rise is often presented as a major break with the past, and as a repudiation of American values and democratic commitments. But in an email, Miller pointed out that white intolerance has long served as an excuse for, and a spark for, authoritarian measures.

"People are fond of the Framers’ grand vision of liberty and equality for all," Miller says, "but the beauty of the Federalist papers can’t paper over the real measures of exclusion that were baked into their understanding of a limited franchise."

Black people, Asians, Native Americans and women were prevented from voting for significant stretches of American history. America's tradition of democracy (for some) exists alongside a tradition of authoritarianism (for some). The survey data doesn't show people rejecting American traditions, then, Miller says, so much as it shows "a preference for the sort of white-ethnocentrism that imbued much of the functional form of democracy for the better part of two centuries."

The Founders supported democracy as long as it was restricted to white male property holders. Today, our understanding of democracy is more expansive — at least in In practice, the GOP has increasingly been embracing a politics of white resentment tied to disenfranchisement. "Since Richard Nixon's ‘Southern Strategy,’ the GOP has pigeon-holed itself as, in large part, an aggrieved white people's party," Miller told me.

Trump's nativist language made the GOP's sympathies more explicit, leading to further erosion of support among non-white voters. George W. Bush won 35 percent of Hispanic voters in 2000; Trump won only 28 percent. His showing with Asian-American voters was only 27 percent — worse than any winning presidential candidate on record.

White people continue to decrease as a percentage of the U.S. population; at some point, it's going to be impossible to win a national, democratic American election with a platform that alienates people of color. The GOP, seeing their coming demographic apocalypse, has pushed voter ID laws and other barriers to voting to try to prevent black and other minority voters from getting to the polls. In Wisconsin, Republican Governor Scott Walker even attempted to delay elections for state seats that he believed Democrats would win.

"The GOP has dug itself into such a hole on this that the most practical effort to stave off these impending losses is to disenfranchise the votes of the same ethnic/racial outgroups against whom GOP messaging has been stoking animosity," Miller tells me. A party built on demonizing and attacking marginalized people is a party that will have to disenfranchise those same people if it is to survive.

Blaming authoritarianism on partisanship suggests that both sides are equally to blame for the erosion of democratic norms. But greater commitment to abortion rights and free healthcare in the Democratic party isn't a threat to the foundations of democracy. The growing concentration of intolerant white voters in the GOP, on the other hand, has created a party which appears less and less committed to the democratic project. When faced with a choice between bigotry and democracy, too many Americans are embracing the first while abandoning the second.

"Social intolerance isn't just leading to GOP support as we know it and see it now," Miller says. "It's leading to preferences in favor of the kind of candidate the GOP ultimately nominated and supported for president." In embracing the politics of white identity, then, the GOP made a Trump possible — and is likely to make more Trump-like candidates successful in the future.

Jeff Sessions rolls back Obama era prison reforms. Does Trump call him to talk prison reform? No, he chooses Kim Kardashian

Damn 1bad65 your pops bought you a mustang. My daddy wasn't around I had to get it on my own. That's the difference between me and you. I"m self made. You get stuff given to you.

Hs daddy bought him a mustang, than he went on YouTube and bragged about it all over the forums posting videos of him driving around.

He was in his 30s when he did this. A grown man bragging about the car his daddy bought him on the Internet.

Like a little girl bragging on social media for her sweet 16. 1bad was daddy's favorite little daughter.
