the only crowd funder we should have is to get £3m for the iron trust to buy GP?

What a strange lot, like Trump supporters.
. An explanation would be appreciated, Ferrite.

I think the idea came from a very good place and shows how much they care for the club. As a gesture it was spot on.

Still prefer to wait for Ferrite to answer since he posted………. however, although this really takes us to t’other side of Bru and also probably puts me in to someone’s firing line, I can’t resist responding to the explanation that, apparently, every Trump supporter ‘believes everything or at least follows everything he says ..like a cult.’
So that’s tens of millions of US voters over two elections? That’s my highly educated and pretty discerning ( only my word for it) daughter and son in law . That’s also .. should I have been a U.S. voter .. also me over the last two elections. There were only two choices. Labelling people who have to live out the consequences of their choices in such a dismissive and insulting manner says more about the labellers than it does about Trump supporters.2 users thanked author for this post.
I can’t be bothered getting into a debate on this forum, but I think there’s a strong element of Trump supporters who act in a highly cultish manner. Rigged elections, Qanon etc. If any Republican leader now criticises Trump, their popularity will plummet and their integrity will be questioned and accused of being deep state elitists.
I would say the analogy fits, as it would with Corbynites, Scottish nats, FBPE supporters, Johnsonites etc. Of course some who support these are not so hardline, but that doesn’t take away the cultish element of their fanbase.

Every time Trump is up in court, on one of his many charges, he raises huge amounts of money from his base. Now it is important to state that there is a key difference here in that Trump actively solicits this money whereas Hilton has done the right thing and asked them to stop. But the fervour of the support bore a certain level of comparison, I thought.

Why do so many of you get triggered by supporters choosing how they want to spend THEIR money?
They are passionate about the club and want to help in every way they can, unlike some of the idiots who have done nothing but moan on social media about the club since the internet was invented.
Same culprits EVERY season.

you would have voted for Trump?
I would. The option in 2016 was Hilary ..in 2020 Joe Biden. I would on both occasions have felt that, whilst seeing flaws in Trumps presentation and mannerisms, that he better represented the policies which would be best for US society.
As for Sidey’s analysis .. I agree that there are ‘cultish’ elements associated with both Trump and the other examples. That doesn’t mean that the labelling in general terms is valid. I am challenging the assumption that it’s self evident that Trump is not someone that a responsible and discerning person could vote for. So ..for me ..Ferrite’s random insertion of him or his supporters into the thread should be challenged.
Why do you feel the need to justify yourself to somebody that supported Corbyn??? Just ignore it.

Aye, for the club. Not for the owner and his own problems. I support Scunthorpe Utd FC, not David Hilton FC. He has the money to fight his own battles.
Yes he does which is why he quite rightly thanked the supporters who set it up for the sentiment but asked them to remove it!
