Hello:
Seems to me that whenever anyone, anywhere crosses Trump, his hidden army come out of the woodwork to threaten, intimidate, swat, dox, hit in the head with a hammer, and do anything they can to absolutely destroy that person, and they do it well.
I suspect there's a coterie of debaters here who think that's great, and there's one who thinks it's abhorrent. Which side are you on?

Factfinder, same username as always. Perhaps it's first part "fact" that causes you to forget my name as those usually do expose fallacy. But all you need do is drop the fallacies! Then you wouldn't feel insecure when you read facts, truth, and logic. You would also no longer feel the need to recoil and pretend you can only hear verbiage. Tryin to help you hear jack.
Can you elaborate on this "hidden army"? Or was that just verbiage?

So it was made up. "of their activity" hmm. Very vague, coy. Could you possibly mean like when a lawyer for trump exposes the fact that the person seeking damages against trump destroyed evidence, in particular evidence that was damming to her case? Is she one of the "secret" soldiers you assert ( in question form of course) trump has in a "secret army"?

You previously attributed me and some other people who do not support Trump to the "team Trump". It seems to me that you do it with everyone who disagrees with you even a little. "Team Trump" might as well be defined as "people who disagree with @Openminded on something". Which leaves the question unanswered: again, what is this "hidden army"? It is a metaphor of what? What does it represent? Who is demonstrably a member of it?
You do not choose reality at all, do not kid yourself. You see the world as a battlefield of classes and privileged/oppressed groups. I also tend to be idealistic - I see the world as a collection of awesome individuals who sometimes step on a dark path, but whose goodness does not change over it - but, at least, my view is based on certain objective observations, such as the fact that the overwhelming majority of interactions between individuals are non-confrontational. I am not sure what observations, other than those of your TV screen, have produced your outlook.
So are you going to come here and admit that you are, indeed, out of touch with reality? Or are you the kind of person who just throws words around, and when the reality does not match them, just move on - like, you know, the former president in question has a habit of doing?

While admittedly I am not a seasoned debater, I do believe what I wrote contained substance. The question posed was ... Does trump have a secret army? I replied that I believed that ¨army¨ was a metaphor for his unconditional, loyal supporters. Because I write words you may not, does not mean I am trying to make them look complex. Give me a break. Yes, there appears to be unconditional trump support. Anyone paying attention knows that. No I am not insinuating that everyone who disagrees with me on his presidency belongs to a group - only his army of unconditional supporters.

Admittedly, I am befuddled by the enduring trump supporter. As I said, first time Trump support was understandable - but now? Is my view really that surprising to you? I am a realist and in touch with reality. I hold onto hope and humanity and the great experiment we are all collectively living. I am a good, kind, decent person. I fight for those less fortunate always. I simply believe many unsuspecting Americans have been indoctrinated into Trump´s cult and trumpism. And it sure feels like it is infiltrating. And it´s da+mn scary. I will continue to proudly fight like a warrior to save America from authoritarianism.

You use thoughtfully constructed sweeping statements, call people names, avoid answering direct questions, and use ad hominems. And you add in a lot of debate fallacies you seemed to have recently just learned of. All of which comes across as verbiage with little substance as @MayCaesar correctly alluded to.

If everyone paying attention knows how is his army.
Ill go back to Trump is a result of the left wanting to federalize every issue. When as a conservative you are fighting for issues on state or more local levels but those issues can supplanted by sweeping federal legislation you get aggressive swing tp counter.
This is not the way the country was intended to be run. We need more power to govern at the local level.
We need candidates who want to decrease the power of government not increase it. Unfortunately its much harder to hold onto liberties than to take it away.

Now let me ask you a question if you will: Are you now going to call me a trumpster? And raddle on about trumpism? Or are you going to try to understand the perspective of others and practice the art of self evaluation? That's how I became persuaded on other things like climate change and religion.

As for the substance, it is not enough to just express your opinion. For a solid debate contribution, you have to also explain what led you to that opinion; what evidence supports it; why anyone should take it as something more than "it's just like your opinion, man". I do not see how your reasoning explains the fact that tens of millions of people support Trump today. Is the only condition for being a member of this army "unconditional support"? Let me accept this definition; how do you prove that someone's support for Trump is unconditional? "Unconditional support" is a very serious claim, it implies that there is absolutely nothing in this world that can make one change their mind on the issue - what are your grounds for claiming that there are people like that?
Oh, it is not surprising at all. Rather, it makes me assume that you do not have a lot of experience in life overall if you truly cannot understand how people may have a very different assessment of Trump's qualities as president than you. For one, under Trump the economical performance of the country was arguably best since Clinton - and while there is an argument to be made that Trump is not to be credited for it (this is actually my argument, and I have gotten under heat from a couple of Trump supporters on this website for it), is it that puzzling to you how someone can connect the two?
Trump certainly has created quite a personality cult in the best traditions of "soft-authoritarian" countries such as Italy under Berlusconi or Hungary under Orban. Yet the anti-Trump cult that sees evil conspiracies and hidden agents everywhere is no less atrocious. In human history quite a few monstrous regimes were created as a result of people believing that, to oppose a specific evil, anything is justified. The original authoritarian regimes were typically much softer, than what was created in opposition to them. Trump is just a very good showman; if people who oppose him the most come to power, though, it will be a true nightmare. Elizabeth Warren or Kamala Harris as president? Yuck...

I agree with you on Desantis, not so much on Haley. She doesnt have convictions to values. Just seems to sway to whatever will get her the most support.
Im ok if someones values change but Haley consistently lies that shes never supported policies. In my opinion was not good in debates, plays into intersextionality, wanted government ids in socialcmedia and has too many ties to defense contractors. She is my least favorite candidate in the republican race.

Interesting. I'll have to look deeper into her. Just liked her spunk when she refused to concede for so long in Arizona. But I had heard things like she was of the corporate republican old guard of sorts. But it's looking like it will be trump anyway. Then we're stuck voting for the lesser of two evils again. I agree Desantis would have been the best choice.

Because I'm truly openminded; I stand corrected. Thank you, thanks to the lefts policy making they've made the 1% more wealthy than the middle class. I see you think you've learned how to apply another new term...
