I'm aware that most people will be anti-Trump, but let's stick to things Trump's actually done and not blame random subway vandalism on the Donald. 

Lol

He didn't blame the vandalism on Donald at all firstly... he said that one passenger on the subway said that "this is Trump's America" That is him noting that Donald himself encourages people to be open with their bigotry, whether active or passively, intentional or unintentional, and that things like this seem to have become more common place in our society in these last few months. (Which is true)

Well, it may have not been Donald trump himself, but let's be  real here.

Either a bunch of hateful people, encouraged by the fact we have the most prejudiced president as possible in modern times, were inspired by that, and knew that they could get away with this, because looks at what hateful idiot is in charge of our country.

Or a bunch of real life troll thought this would've been a funny idea, and knew that it'd make people feel uncomfortable about it. They also knew that scenario a was entirely possible.

Goosey, Donald Trump may not be the direct source of this, but people are inspired by who is in power.

And this is not a good thing.

I honestly cannot wait for the day Donald Trump and his followers do something so horrendously, brutally awful, even you can't stand by him.

And no one will welcome you with open arms to other side. because by then, most of us will be dead or worse. or we just can't really deal with you. or we don't want to. it'll most likely be the last one.

That's impossible when dealing with a troll though  

Also, Donald Trump could announce that he is interning all muslims and muslim supporters literally tomorrow and people would support him. To be fair though, Goosey never openly supports anything bigoted even if he believes in it*, he just makes statements suggesting that hes not completely against things, which can never be directly taken to mean that he supports it, then he calls you on it if you claim he does  

Leave openly supporting things like that to the other Trump supporters on here

I have openly opposed more than a few of the Trump administration's actions, tyvm

A little dire...

That's the assumption many people are making, but this kind of graffiti happened before Trump and will happen after Trump. They could have been 'inspired', or it could have absolutely nothing to do with the election. In the absence of any evidence...

I honestly at this point cannot believe Goosey is a troll. trolls would've gotten bored by now. He has literally received the same reaction over and over again. from teh same people. Trolls eventually go onto new victims.

But he just stays here, stagnating in the poisonous swamps of gGD like the rest of us.

If he's a troll, he's obviously unhinged.

it's not the remarks, it's the response.

Gosh Goosey, I wonder how you live with yourself.

Then i remember, alone, in the canadian wilderness, with a bunch of guns and knives.

With a flip phone. Don't forget that.

Receipts? Cause I don't recall any that are clearly in opposition (as in, not talking around it) and I've basically been in every political thread on this website for the last 2 years   

Also, this is not really the point in this post.

Hate crimes, racism, anti-semitism, white nationalism, etc. all happened before Trump and will happen after Trump, but its worth noting what kinds, where, and with what frequency, brazenness, severity, etc. these things occur, because we can observe these things and study them and come to general conclusions based off of them. Gotta love science  

Can we prove that this one instance was inspired by Trump? Or the next one? Not necessarily, but we don't need to in order to note his influence on these kinds of actions. This one might not have been stamped - Long Live Trump, Make America Great Again, Steve Bannon for life, or whatever. like some of the other things I've seen have been, but it has the same effect.

Goosey has been doing this kind of thing on several websites for years from what I can tell. It's not like hes dedicating all of his time to just trolling people on GGD about guns and alt-right bs.

Graffiti isn't news, but at least that guy got to take a nice photoshoot and make himself look good for facebook before it was removed!

wtf are you talking about? Unless you work for the CIA or something, you pulled that out from where the sun doesn't shine!

I mean... I've seen Goosey on other sites doing approximately the same shtick, and so have other users over the years  

But this is off topic, so I won't answer further.

OT: Beautiful that so many bonded together to get rid of the graffiti  

[Morphine Prince 109,683]

Typical responses from the same people.

You guys can't even see something good in people coming together removing something hateful?

Sad. 

[StarryNight 10,107]

The train was silent as everyone stared at each other, uncomfortable and unsure what to do.

It's nice to see people act together in situations like these, but it's unfortunate these situations are still happening at all.

I won't get involved in the Donald discussion, however I personally feel that something about him has caused these extreme bigots to start acting out more, even if he isn't intentionally and outright doing it.
