&quot;Don’t give them even a squeak of an excuse to play the victim – or they will.&quot;

Not giving them &quot;even a squeak of an excuse to play the victim&quot; is synonymous with silence. It&#039;s self-castration. They will use any excuse to play the victim.

SBC didn&#039;t target innocent people. He targeted prominent individuals whose positions already were known and who had or had had positions of trust. He didn&#039;t expose them. He let them expose themselves.]]></description>

I agree with Dean...Project Veritas inspired SBC, understandably so.
Public discourse has devolved with so much lying and deception that now undercover recordings and stunts have been employed to reveal motives. Nobody has any honor or statesmanship anymore.

As an unapologetic proRKBA person, Pratt was disappointing. Gaetz was a sigh of relief (who didn&#039;t know Lott was a joke?).

I&#039;m all for this. Scrub out the necrosis and provide a solid foundation from which one can defend their positions. Have the courage of your convictions. 

Of course toddlers and even some teens shouldn&#039;t be anywhere near weapons, but that&#039;s up to the parents, not governments. Toys aren&#039;t guns, guns aren&#039;t toys, the two should not be confused or conflated in any way. It&#039;s serious business:    “A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.” --T Jefferson

What is a Republican? -- Someone who expects pro-life, pro-gun voters support. Republicans are abusing their base in the same way Democrats abuse minority voting blocks. Apparently there is a strong Israeli influence in the Republican Party, as they&#039;re willing to have handlers embarrass them with &quot;Israeli nationals&quot;.

Scrub out the corrupt. Drain the Swamp, regardless of the D or R behind their name.]]></description>

&quot;True colours are true colours. &quot;

I think you misunderstood my point -- or I wasn&#039;t clear in making it.

I completely agree the show displays the real views of these people -- I have no doubt of that. I don&#039;t like SBC&#039;s approach because the foolishness of his characters gives the gullible an out to say &#039;They were just tricked, they really aren&#039;t like that.&quot; 

As we see from the three Trump supporters who post here, they are more than able of showing their low cognitive skills and bigotry on their own, no apparent deception needed.]]></description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;Having SBC “trick” them into it gives them an excuse that they can use. I’d like to think that only other Trump supporters would buy into the line that these folks were tricked and really aren’t racists, bigots, etc., but I’m afraid I’d be wrong. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes, I&#039;ve been hearing this &#039;defence&#039; of SBC&#039;s &#039;tricked&#039; &#039;victims&#039;. Personally, I think it&#039;s arrant bollocks and it&#039;s disappointing that anyone not themselves a partisan toerag could buy into it. True colours are true colours. The only trick was getting the bastards to let their inner charm show through. 

Check the moment in the second clip Greg posted when SBC says &#039;it isn&#039;t rape if it&#039;s your wife&#039; and the scumbag gurns along with him and they slap hands. 

All that said, I understand what you mean. Don&#039;t give them even a squeak of an excuse to play the victim - or they will.]]></description>

There was no deceptive editing as the videos were placed online in their entirety.

What could they say? That it isn&#039;t one bit surprising. We&#039;ve known they type of people attracted to Trump since the campaigns spun up. 

I think that goes back to my distaste for this. We know Trump&#039;s supporters act like this on their own. Having SBC &quot;trick&quot; them into it gives them an excuse that they can use. I&#039;d like to think that only other Trump supporters would buy into the line that these folks were tricked and really aren&#039;t racists, bigots, etc., but I&#039;m afraid I&#039;d be wrong.
