    Your twist on language is amazing. You try to oppose me yet by your very words and chosen attitude you support my argument.
    When you hear the clip-clop of hooves don't think Zebra think Horse.

    Would you mind stating actual instances of the claims you make? The fact Trump does as you claim is not a stand-alone matter. "Violence against protestors" for example? No right-minded person supports violence for the sake of it but in some cases, violence is justified. Can you add to your claim?

    white southerners are God fearing Christians who see welfare as charity, not a debt owed to them from communism as black and brown people do.

    You forgot to accuse him of "extremism". As you are prone to do, so very often.

    If he's all that, then why would you expect anyone to justify it?

    Anyway, I think the schism here is between people who see Trump as Hitler and those who know he's just trolling with all that "punch him in the mouth" talk, which to my knowledge did exactly once. How many newspapers or TV stations has he tried to shut down -- not criticize, which they have to tolerate like everyone else -- but actually shutter? How many people exterminated because of their race, how many invasions of which countries? How many people subjected to "extreme torture"?

    The answer to every question is zero, and therein lies the difference.

    Yes, I have seen this happening more and more since about 2010. Not only do they become quite labile (hair trigger emotions), but they also lose anything resembling manners and civility. It's definitely a new phenomenon in the broader community, being previously restricted to the significantly mentally ill, and religious extremists.

    A perfect example of that lability and 'unhingedness'.

    It was though, back in the day. It was just crazy peeps, and/or those suffering from religious mania.

    Colourful times!

    I can't imagine why you think that exempts you yourself from succumbing (had you ever been free of it to start with). How much time did you spend in your workshops discussing racism against white folk? If you answered 'none', I rest my case.

    From your post.

    How about posting something substantive and on point? Or go post in another thread where coyness is more appreciated.

    Why so jumpy, champ? Relax. Maybe being so high string is why you have no friends.

    I have very significant disagreements with both Liberals and Conservatives. It is hard to find friends -- but one must always try.

    Most Jewish Americans are Patriots. But I am Proud Not to be an American. I disagree with most Liberals and Conservatives on different issues.

    Sadly many Conservatives do not believe that people with Disability should be helped and supported by Society. As a person with Asperger's and Depression, it horrifies me that many people are against people who can not earn.
