That isn't the direction the party is going and the racists are winning., like they did for all but about 30 years of our country's history give or take. You're off in your own little world if you think otherwise.

I understand that there's probably a handful of Republicans who find him reprehensible and just voted for him because of taxes of SCOTUS nominations, but they are not the majority, and that doesn't entirely excuse it. Donald Trump was not forced on to conservatives, he was embraced by them and it was not for economic reasons. It was because he thought Obama was a secret Kenyan, he wanted to build a wall to keep out rapist Mexicans, and he wanted to ban an entire religious group from The United States. Trump was not using clever dog whistles, he's just a blatant racist, and it's why he won. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pc cultures fault I tell you! People should take responsibilities for their choices, absolutely. Those who pulled this garbage will be forced to. I just don't know how helpful it will be to eradicate Trumpism by associating all Trump voters with these scumbags or even all Trump voters who go and cheer at his dumbassery at his rallies. 1 Quote Planning is an exercise of power, and in a modern state much real power is suffused with boredom. The agents of planning are usually boring; the planning process is boring; the implementation of plans is always boring. In a democracy boredom works for bureaucracies and corporations as smell works for skunk. It keeps danger away. Power does not have to be exercised behind the scenes. It can be open. The audience is asleep. The modern world is forged amidst our inattention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point. Many of the BLM riots had nothing, zero to do with black lives. See the ones in Portland and Seattle. They were rioting against corporatism and capitalism. That's it. With that said, it is still in no way comparable in gravity to storming the Capital building to stop the peaceful transfer of power, desecrating our hallowed spaces and being whipped into a frenzy by a sitting POTUS to do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
