Should Trump supporters be banned from this forum?

[acptulsa]

No one is saying that, you little turd.

Reported.

What I'm saying is that a libertarian forum should value the free marketplace of ideas, and not ban people simply for having contrary opinions. Wanting your community to be an echo-chamber is cowardly.

McDonald's wants to exercise some free speech. Let's force you to let them air their commercials over your cell phone every fifteen seconds. What's more, they should be allowed to put McDonald's stickers on your clothing and we should physically prevent you from peeling them off. Just wait until you get to the parking lot after work and find out your car is red and gold, and says that billions and billions have been served.

Or we could at least ban whoever is first to spam us with the Establishment Talking Point of the Week. Like, for example, I know exactly who was the first to assert that Rand Paul is an 'establishment candidate' (which is trolling the latest establishment talking point, but at least it cracked me up). Because the very first to press the latest Official Line of Bull has obviously got to be paid to do it, or they wouldn't know what the new Official Line is before anyone else does.

Is this forum here for the purpose of hosting every line of bull the establishment wants to throw at our man? Or is this forum dedicated to the proposition that all people are created equal, and endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights?

Avoid the bunker mentality, people shouldn't be afraid of giving an honest opinion.

 

[nayjevin]

Posts should be reported when seen.

And should posting an opinion, honest or not, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again give them even the slightest pause...?

I wish to change my vote. Now that TRUMP is going to Bolton for foreign policy advice, all Trumpsters should be banned. Yesterday, not today. Weeks ago, Bolton did a hit piece on Rand.

I hope that is possible because we are losing the vote

Bunker mentality? I guess naming the site liberty tree was the first idea that this site actually stands for something. I guess its not to late to change it to come in and push your shitty idea all day and all the time while talk crap about the liberty candidate forum. While we are at it, I guess its time to unban fire111 and allow him back to litter the forum with his gibberish posts that are still more engaging and entertaining to read than most of the Trump stuff that people have been posting lately.

Its one thing to be open minded and avoiding bunker mentality, its another thing to be too open minded and allow dangerous and ignorant few to invade the forum with their so called new idea that we have seen and rejected a million times.

How can we claim to be in favor of a national free society when our own micro-society isn't a free one.

If you can't stand to be around political and social heretics, then you're probably ill-prepared to exist in a free society.

I think people who say I'm from a website I have never once posted on just because I recognize the fact of HBD should be banned. I assume you would have no problem with this.

Dude, you have "Neo-Reactionary" and a Julius Evola quote in your signature. You are flaunting anti-libertarian/fascist ideas.

That's not even the worst thing in my mind though. The worst thing is that you want to define your home-grown philosophy AS liberty. Hence, the username.

It's maximum irony that you say that your precious "white country" is being destroyed by letting undesirables come in and wipe out the majority but when this ecosystem rejects you, you cry fowl and appeal to "the marketplace of ideas" and call everyone cowards because open fascism isn't acceptable at RPF.

RPF isn't a some micro free society, it's a privately owned entity. If I owned it, I would delete Trump posts.

I would too. I am saddened when I see people who were actual Ron Paul enthusiasts at one time promote Trump.

 

[erowe1]

If they repeatedly co-opt this website to oppose what it stands for by pushing Trump, to the point that it's practically their entire agenda here, absolutely they should be banned, based on the site guidelines. They should also be banned if they repeatedly make racist remarks.

AuH2O should have been banned months ago.

About 75% in favor of NOT banning, even with people who post about Trump like AuH20 and David Sadler not voting (as of now).

Good to see the authoritarian mindset didn't take over the forum.

There is so much butthurt here. Since the immigration plan became public, I often intentionally stayed away when I could've been here to avoid the butthurt.

 

[69360]

Don't ban the posters, just ban the posts. Delete them as they pop up. No posts about Trump or with Trump in the title.

 

[Rad]

It would be more efficient just to ban the posters. It would be a lot of work to constantly delete their same ideas over and over and over and over every minute of every day until the election.

I think the attitude of many here is akin to the attitude of the obedient worker who dutifully accepts the assignment of training his own replacement. I am all for free speech and very open to diverse ideas but what I will not do is provide a platform for my enemy to spread his message. Call me anti freedom all you want but this is something that I will never do.

One Trump fanboy even said something about renaming this site to Donald Trump forums, these people do not just want to share their ideas with RPF members, they want to take it over.

 

[RickyJ]

If anything, the mods should attempt to do something about the people who have banned themselves from this forum.

Where the hell has everyone gone?

Real life for most I guess makes posting on a political forum a luxury they just don't have time for anymore while trying to pay the bills and survive.

Sorry, but I'm getting really annoyed with the Trump supporters and how they act here

Sorry is the first word of the post? You start apologizing and expect to be persuasive? I'd advise you to watch a bit of this guy named Donald Trump. He doesn't start proposals by apologizing, and he seems quite successful.

 

[Christian Liberty]

Not everyone who posts here are doctrinaire libertarians. There are paleocons, constitutionalists, ancaps, minarchists and reactionaries like me. There are even a few liberals who post here. What someone does or doesn't support shouldn't be a prerequisite for posting on RPF.

Two theonomists as well. Theo (who rarely posts) and me.

I'm not sure if hells_unicorn calls himself a theonomist or not. Some covenanters do. Others don't. There might be three of us.

People don't give a shit what Trump says, they like how he says it.

Welcome to actual America.

Rands campaign is mostly saying things that are technically the right things to say, but in the most wishy-washy sell-out sounding way possible.

I loathe Trump, but I do wish Rand would take a page from his book. Rand needs to be filibustering not on Obamacare, but on Medical monopolies and consumer abuses.

He should be front and center at protest marches against police militarization etc.

The electorate is furious and he doesn't give a shit.

 

[TheTexan]

Trump is speaking truth to power!

That's probably how he made his billions too!
