I May Not Agree With Everything Trump Says, But Its My Duty As An American To Repeat All Of His Talking Points Basically Verbatim
http://www.clickhole.com/blogpost/i-may-not-agree-everything-trump-says-its-my-duty--6411
As a conservative voter, there are parts of Trumps agenda that I agree with and other actions hes taken that I find troubling or simply bizarre. However, as a patriotic American its my duty to memorize Trumps talking points, ignore my own misgivings, and defend the president by quoting him essentially verbatim.
Ive been a Republican my whole life, and my main issues are lower taxes and protecting states rights, so I was shocked and upset when Donald Trump tweeted that he wanted to ban transgender people from the military. But I didnt whine or complain or voice my conscience; I simply did what I knew was right and worked small-minded, offensive arguments about how trans soldiers are distracting and unfit for service into everyday conversations to blindly turn myself into a pale shadow of the president.
Whenever President Trump says something that I find morally reprehensible, it is my sworn duty to essentially copy and paste his words into a Facebook post prefaced with Heres what I believe. And I wouldnt be a patriot if I didnt fight with anyone in the comments pointing out the discriminatory or duplicitous nature of the statement even though I often agree with them 100 percent.
Before attacking the president by pointing out the many flaws in his reasoning, why dont you try agreeing with everything he says? The only people complaining about Trump are biased against Trump according to Trump, so you cant trust anyone that questions the president, even when that person is you. This is America. If youre not prepared to sell your values down the river to spew President Trumps talking points word for word, well, you can find a different country to live in.

See this thread on RW "humor." https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029645769
Now re-read the clickhole post and try to reframe that as RW humor. For example, substitute liberal and Clinton/Obama for conservative and trump. It doesn't work.
