If there were serious numbers of neo-Nazi votes in the US, Trump might cater to them, the way Hilary and other Democrats cater to the demagogue Al Sharpton, and others even to the open Jew-hater Farrakhan. But there is absolutely no advantage in 'seeking the approval of Nazis' in the US. So, yes, he's being stupid beyond belief. But we knew that already. And if there are any Nazis who approve of him, I wonder what they think about his extreme pro-Israel policy? There is a kind of parallel here: some liberals/progressives don't want to condemn Anti-Fa, and some conservatives don't want to acknowledge, or acknowledge publically, the awfulness, the depraved character of Donald Trump. And the ultimate reaons are the same: we're in a war, and we're not going to attack anyone on our side. The enemy of my enemy, etc. But rather than deny reality, why not just admit the truth: Pro-anti-Fa liberals can just yes, anti-Fa are the fascists of the Left, but ... maybe we need a few fascists on our side.. The liberals of previous generations were too nice, too principled. We've got to play dirty. And conservatives who are reluctant to say that Trump is a revolting narcissistic idiot can just acknowledge that he is, but repeat some variant of Mr Rumsfeld's observation that you go to war with the army you've got. The 'never Trump' conservatives are too nice, too principled. We've got to play dirty.
I said it COULD be faked, not that it was. Additional evidence helps. Thank you for that insightful commentary. President Trump, or do you prefer Bonespurs You've definitely not noticed but Fake News is beginning to mean Real News for those of us not hypnotized by Orange Wizards.
Look it up yourself Sasha.. you're the one that slings it around indiscriminately.. I know.. commies hate Nazis .. the other socialist, but that doesn't automatically makes everyone who is not a commie, a Nazi. You do know the commies are the ones that hung the "far-right" moniker on their fellow travelers.. docha? I bet Stalin murdered more commies than Hitler.
no it doesn't seem that way maybe the gays to some extent but the Republican president we have now is the only president that has ever campaign without saying he believes marriage is between a man and a woman every other president has said that including Barack Obama Bill Clinton and even presidential candidates like Al Gore and Hillary Clinton. Being against affirmative action is being against treating black people or women as second-class citizens. By supporting those things you're saying they're not good enough to compete with white people. You think they're inferior Kevin kratz think they're inferior let's look at the way they talk to them when they give speeches in front of them? I don't know how it's not condescending. the Republican idea that I support is treating everyone equal everyone should have the same opportunity. And making special exceptions for people is necessarily saying they can't compete. So it's not that they're against black people they're against your view that they are inferior. And that goes for gays and went in and trans people and so forth.
To late to do an edit of my previous post. RW is a wrong term to use. Conservatives is the correct term. Its conservatives that have changed parties.
David Duke was first a Democrat well before he was a republican and I assure, he never was embraced as a republican unlike Robert Byrd & Strom Thermond whom were elected as Democrats and died as democrats.
I looked up his screen name.. a commie terrorist; don't expect anything near the truth from one such as him.
ANCIENT History. Do you have anything "recent"? "Lynched"? Is that your audition for Last Comic Standing? "Lynched"? Ngo was in the wrong place at the wrong time, anybody who has no "rebuttal" beyond Ancient BS (from over 50 years ago (in the last century)) is really reaching (ad absurdum). When you actually get some "rebuttal" material that is RECENT, let me know. Thanks in advance. Until then?
I don't understand why anyone would defend physical attacks on the free press. I'm starting to wonder what poster's stances were on Trump calling them bad names.
There is no evidence that this was faked. Conversely there is much evidence that this happened. So give it up.
I would guess @Andrew Jackson answer to rape would be she was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
I don't think so. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was not by any definition of conservative and he was the Democrat president in the 1930s. This dude was a socialist. he was as liberal as Alexandria ocasio-cortez today in fact emulated him when she wrote her Green New deal. No conservativism hasn't been part of the Democrat Party for at least 80 years. So the conservatives didn't switch over in the sixties. They were already in the Republican Party in the 30s. It was Dwight d Eisenhower that turned a lot of states in the south.
Those sources didn't do an on air interview, CNN was the first.. but if you believe what I am saying is inaccurate, there is a really easy way to prove me wrong, all you have to do is share the video of their on air interview that was before July 2nd
He was embraced enough to be elected as a R. It's conservative south as the group, R or D. Today there aren't really any conservative D at all.
So it's now risky to walk down a Portland street with an opposing point of view and still survive. This 'blaming the victim' mentality has really gotten out of hand.
So you believe the video is a possible fake? What about the lawsuits and the mayor's response. Are those fake too?
