"If a candidate won’t defend his own interests, using all weapons

defend their common interests, especially against

I had to look up this Masugi. I'm "shocked" that a rightwinger would like Trump. Now that I know this rightwinger likes Trump I think I'm going to reexamine my own attitude because what a rightwinger writes is probably something I need to consider.

If you were keeping up, then you would know that a myriad
of right-wingers do not like President Donald Trump.

"If a candidate won’t defend his own interests, using all weapons

You know, unlike that misogynist Hillary Clinton to whom
blacks and latinos and homosexuals and women are votes.
The Democratic party hates their voters.

what about Masugi? Does he like Trump? He seems to. Also that sentence is a real screwball one. "...why should the public [hey, that's me] think he will zealously defend their common interests, especially against
> pseudo-aristocratic racial/ethnic claims of privilege? [that's not "their common interests", that's HIS interest and maybe that of other rightwingers of his ilk.]

I see that Trump is liked by some people. Rasmussen has him at 44% approval, 56% disapproval and that's the highest of any pollster (of course). So it's not like *everybody* dislikes him. And, as you mention, many who support him (or the policies being promoted in his name) know he's an $#^%&**#. But Masugi apparently believes if a guy is a @$#^%*^ and people call him on it, and it's true, that guy still should be even more of an #$#%^% to "defend" himself. Except then he looks even worse. He looks unhinged.

I stated on Facebook recently that I don't think Trump is in charge. If he were, if he were really working then he wouldn't have the time to do all this tweeting. I think he's sitting around with nothing to do, they've given him a TV and a cellphone and he's bored.

No, I did not mention that.

This is all premature as you do not know
the meaning of the paragraph I quoted.

You don't know what I think. But seriously, why would you think that?

I do not waste time on knowing what you think.

Nothing you said embodies the topic of the paragraph.

I like Bruce Springsteen's music. I dislike his left wing politics. I listen to his music when
he sings. I tell him to fuck off when he talks politics. Bruce and I get along OK.

you really like to quibble. You said: "If you were keeping up, then you would know that a myriad of right-wingers do not like President Donald Trump."

What? Do you mean the opposite? A myriad of rightwingers like him personally but don't like his policies? If so, learn to write more clearly. You should have specified "...Trump's policies". With all due respect and no offense intended, you're a dishonest poster, constantly saying things, denying them, claiming you're misunderstood. Other than that you're ok.

Therefore you acknowledge that you lied.
You lied when you said I said something that I did not say.

"a myriad of right-wingers do not like President Donald Trump."

I said nothing about policies.
