    That's what a lot of people probably said about Hitler -- and Beto sort of reminds me of Hitler.

    Yeah, strange that. When asked for names they just mumble or talk gibberish and wave their arms about. I call them the 'Basket of Stupids'. (with some credit to Hillary C.)

    Good one. Is it time yet to call all Biden supporters Fascists and Nazis? And Elizabeth Warren 'Der Mutter'? If you're not a leftist that would get stale before long.

    Their deck has two cards. The racism card and the free stuff card.

    When I ask for a quote, I mean a quote from a Democrat. In other words, quote a democrat actually saying what you claimed: i.e. that all Trump supporters are white supremacists. Not your wingnut media fantasy sites.

    Looks like you are desperately looking but can't find one.

    Wasn't Beto 'Drunky the Clown' O'Rourke the failed senate candidate? How does he think he can go from losing a senate race to winning the white house?

    Do you know what a quote is? It's a transcript of somebody's exact words.

    Examples:

    Einstein: "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." <----this is a quote

    "Einstein said that Energy and mass are equivalent" <----- This is not a quote.

    Well I am glad you asked the question, rather than just inventing a reply. I will correct you again. No. Your statement is exactly the opposite of the content of my posts. All I have said about all trumpists ( people who still support Donald Trump) is that they all don't mind being lied to. This may help you. You will recall this reply of mine.

    "...I assume electricians come in several sorts. Some are smart, and decent, and hate being lied to, and they don't appreciate being turned against each other based on race, sexual orientation, religion, or ethnicity. Others are dumb, indecent, don't care if they are lied to, and they can't handle people who are of a different race, orientation, religion, or ethnicity. Same is true of plumbers. The ones I want in my political party are the former, not the latter." Now if you replace the word 'plumber' with the word 'Trumpster' you will see that I definitely make some room for the notion that not all Trumpsters are deplorables of any sort, let alone the sort that fall into the category of 'racist'. As the roughest of guesses, I approximate that we are talking about 30-35% of Trumpsters here are neither dumb nor indecent etc etc etc.

    Now to be even clearer, I don't think the percentages represent electricians as a class at ALL - just electricians who are Trumpsters!

    Do you know what reading is? Her quote is there, read it. Or you could just admit that yes, some Democrats do indeed call all Trump supporters 'racist/white supremacist.

    The irony is the left sees racism everywhere, but when they’re accused of seeing racism everywhere they say prove it.

    No it's not!!!! You read!

    And according to forum rules, a link is used for reference. Not to make your argument. So if you have anything to quote.... quote it!

    If a CNN reporter got 50 democrats alone and asked are 'all Trump supporters racist'? I've no doubt, at least 40 would instantly say yes, with zero hesitation.

    It was right there in my post, you are not a mod, leave the modding to them, thanks. Her quote is right in my post WITH the link. Deal with it.

    I never have cast a single ballot for Hillary Clinton. You are far more obsessed with her than I am. You can't keep running against her forever. One day you and Donald will have to stop singing 'Crooked Hillary' songs around the campfire, chanting 'lock her up!' arm in arm, and move forward.

    And why does that surpise you?

    Is it because you can't prove it?

    I'll tell you why you can't prove it: because it's a talking point that the wingnut media made up to fool their gullible audience. Look at your colleague struggling to try to prove one of those wingnut media talking points with absolutely no luck

    That is not a quote. What you rode was "AOC said ....". But there is no actual quote.

    Ok. Forget it! I don't have time to explain to you what a quote is.

    Of course you believe that! Because right wingnut media hammers it into your head every day 24/7

    That's exactly my point. The purpose of right wingnut media is to make up talking points for their gullible audience. And they end up believing them. But they have no base in reality.

    Do I need to take twenty minutes of my life and type out yet again the long list of things the left said are racist? Hint: they include the Oscars, Mary Poppins, exit exams, our national anthem, Kate Smith, Betsy Ross, etc.
