IanforHeisman Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Why is the response so different when white supremacists commit acts of terrorism compared to Al Qaeda? What would Trumps response been if ISIS sent bombs to politicians, invading places of worship, and shot people in grocery stores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokerider Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 uh, Trump would probably denounce them and say the perpetrators should be given the death penalty! Which is what he said about the anti-Trump guy who shot up the synagogue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a response be differentl if an organization of terrorists was involved, rather than when a lone wolf with mental health issues? Shyt, I don't know. You got me!

Trump again seizes on terror incident to call for travel ban https://www-m.cnn.com/2017/09/15/politics/donald-trump-london-terrorist-attack/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Famp-cnn-com.cdn.ampproject.org%2Fv%2Fs%2Famp.cnn.com%2Fcnn%2F2018%2F08%2F14%2Fpolitics%2Ftrump-london-attack-tweet%2Findex.html%3Famp_js_v%3D0.1%26usqp%3Dmq331AQECAEoAQ%3D%3D Basically he would lump all of the Muslims in the same category.

Shyt, I don't know. You got me! I think you overestimate the degree of connection with terrorists. These "lone wolves" are essentially self-indoctrinated through a rabidly insane community. They have a big support network that helps fuel their crazy and they see rhetoric that seemingly supports their violent actions every day. There is no difference between this guy and the Santa Barbara nutjobs or the guy in Nice with a truck. 1 Quote Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

The feds clearly tied the SB nutjobs to international terrorist organizations. I'll wait... 2 Quote The World Needs More Cowboys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hip on clear ties to terrorist organizations And the question raised in the OP was why a response is different from a hit by a worldwide terrorist organization and a lone wolf.

Which is what he said about the anti-Trump guy who shot up the synagogue His main concern would be "how do I consider myself and followers to be the real victims of this". He sent KellyAnn out there to claim that all people of faith were the victims. This sets to minimize the whole Jew thing and it allows many Republicans be the victims. And then of course the shooter messed up the Republican momentum. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you call Trump stupid in one post and then suggest there is some deep strategy being implemented by Trump to fool the masses? Can you have it both ways? 1 Quote The World Needs More Cowboys!

Primarily because the US government has used Muslim extremists as the boogeyman for the better part of 25 years now. It’s not just Cheetodick either. Frighten the people, pass new laws, overreact with force, and increase fundraising from the zombies. Both parties have mastered this technique. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said before Trump is con-man smart but I don't think the strategy is all that deep. It's painfully obvious and it only needs to be smart enough to fool about 45% of us.

Perhaps the dems could pay them some attention and not allow this to happen again. Quote The World Needs More Cowboys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
