Team Trump wants you to own the 'liberal snowflakes' at your family Christmas party

Ahead of Christmas Day, President Trump’s reelection campaign launched a website featuring videos of talking points it said supporters can use to “win an argument with liberal friends, relatives, and snowflakes” over the holidays.

As Republicans and Democrats have become more divided in recent years, plenty of attention has been paid to navigating political talk over the holiday season — and the question of whether it should be avoided outright. That’s only intensified this year, amid Trump’s impeachment largely along party lines.

Publicized on Christmas Eve, the Trump campaign’s contribution to the conversation is distinctly Trumpian, with its domain name of snowflakevictory.com and its references to the “Russian hoax,” the “fake news media” and the “Democrats’ radical agenda.” And, as with Trump’s rhetoric, it contains statements that fact-checkers have characterized as false or misleading.

The website includes sections titled, “There was no quid pro quo, Democrats always obsessed with impeachment” and “BIG GOVERNMENT SOCIALISM.” Each contains a video of a campaign official delivering pro-Trump arguments in front of an American flag graphic. Triumphant music plays in the background.

I think everyone avoids them these days. Religion and politics used to be no go's at work. Obviously religion plays a roll tomorrow but I think a vast majority of people just leave politics at the door at home for the holidays.

Trump Jr. pulled this at Thanksgiving. What is wrong with these people? They are just beyond fucked up.

to make sure no little item was missed? Sounds just like propaganda to me, Russian style. I wonder what it is that the gop is so anxious to keep buried? They are absolutely TERRIFID of the truth being revealed. Sad, really that HE was the best they could find to represent them. A low class, low life, sub standard excuse for a human. Uneducated, not too bright "billionaire" (yeah, right!) They are selling this country out and for WHAT? He is not worth it.

tweets and messages from our candidates, our former candidates and Presidents. Not all of them are Democrats, either.

I was impressed and heartened by those messages, even those from people I do not support.

Then there is this divisive asshole. Ignore him.
