Found the trump tard

[Anonymous No.11752366]

pro tip to all the budding novelists here

just write some provocative smear book against the Trump admin, reference a few "anonymous sources", and then do the rounds on the news and talk shows until all the hysteric delusional anti-Trumpists buy your book because it satisfies, in one go, both 1) the desire to justify hating trump and 2) look smart while doing it

im not even remotely a trumpist but my god is this obsession irritating. I don't think it's a coincidence that past "gotcha" books like fire and fury or comey's shit have faded into obscurity already

Literally any big business operates in a similar way. That's the joy of unregulated capitalism.

>the fact that others do that doesn't justify it.
Political actions have to make sense in the reality we live in. It's either boycott all abusive companies and basically live a luddite live style or trying to make the best out of the faggotory we live in and make the changes on policy level, say introducing muh minimum wage (Not a fan myself, just using it as an example)

Honestly, yeah. Woodward is a serious journalist and his methods are a whole lot more respectable than wolff.

>>11752366
That's not really how it works. Woodward has hundreds of hours of tapes of interviews with sources substantiating the things he says. The sources are only anonymous to the public. His fact checker, editor and likely a legal representative from the publisher have all checked though the evidence to make sure they are in a rock solid position if there were actually any legal action against them for libel.

>>11752631
>>11752788
Bob Woodward is fine financially. He doesn't need to "get rich quick". It's pretty apparent that you aren't a millionaire.

>>11752801
This is truly a new level of stupid.

>>11753926
Trump is literally at the mental level of a 3rd grader. They fear his utterly irrational and erratic behavior. If you don't fear a mercurial head of state it's because you don't understand the scope and power of the United States Government.

>>11753932
There is real socialism in every major westernized country including the united states and these aspects of society are by far the most functional elements of those societies.

>>11753936
Look up information asymmetry.

>>11754172
I disagree, Woodward carries a lot of weight in Washington. Personally, I think republicans are going to bail on Trump in mid 2019 after midterms assuming their cover up doesn't work and they don't hold both houses of congress. I think Kavanaugh is the last thing they're going to try and keep it together for.

Trump haters (i.e. sane/intelligent people) who want far stronger proof of White House dysfunction than Michael Wolff's unreliable gossip. Woodward is the opposite of Wolff; he has more credibility than the vast majority of journalists and is universally seen as a straight arrow.

It's the solid credibility of Woodward. Sure it won't change anybody's mind, but it's good to know for a certainty that none of it is exaggerated, and based on the excepts already released, is in fact even worse.

I haven't posted regularly in /lit/ for like three years, but I presumed this was one of the places where /pol/yps would have most difficulty blending in. Clearly they've just swarmed in with superior numbers, like the rats that they are.

i've been posting on both pol and lit since 2013 and there was always polposting. whats changed is that polposting used to be thought of as like 'those nazis' but now there is the 'altright' and Trump, so it all seems more serious, and it provokes left wing posters way more than it once did. And there is more or it of course.

T_D kiddies maybe, but the hardcore racists mainly came from /pol/, and /pol/ was very heavily involved with T_D right at the start.

There were some isolated /pol/yps but they weren't a significant presence until recently, and were almost universally mocked. It's the attempt to claim that there was always a serious /pol/ presence and that /pol/ was always part of the board 'culture' that's complete horseshit.

I’m convinced 90% of Trumpfags are either underage or suffer from dementia. George Bush has received far, far worse shit than Trump, and Obama received a bunch of shit for wearing a tanned suit, on top of being accused of not being an American citizen. Every president gets shit because they’re in charge and they have power, they have a responsibility to represent the country and work in its best interests. Yet Trumpfags pretend this is some new phenomenon and that Trump is some unique, innocent victim in all of this who is receiving an unusual amount of attention. Ironically, as much as Trumpfags pretend that everyone else is overly sensitive, it is Trump who always has meltdowns every time someone criticizes him, opposes him, contradicts him, or says something that doesn’t portray him in a 100% positive light. Even George Bush kept his cool while there were entire books published dedicated to mocking all of the stupid shit he said.
