    Too many posts to reply to specifically but what I want to ask our conservative members here is, where do you draw the line on your conservatism? Do any of you really stand with Trump and his racist, neo-nazi agenda? If so, can you really expect the majority of others who post here to accept that as a reasonable and rational choice? I'm not talking about economics of abortion or other issues that could be interpreted as having grey areas. I'm talking about Donald Trump, a man who is running for POTUS on a racist, hate based platform. If you can say, "Yes, I support that agenda" then say so. Tell us why you hate blacks and Hispanics. Tell us why it's ok in your viewpoint for Trump to encourage his followers to use violence against his opponents. Tell us why its ok for Trump to refer to immigrants as “illegals” and the children of illegal immigrants as “anchor babies". Tell us why you think these things are ok. And after you do that, please stop arguing about why some of us wonder why the hell you want to argue those points here.

    I don't care if you are fiscally conservative or you hate granola or believe those of us who are in favor of peace are naive but if you support someone like Trump who promotes hate you are not going to get one inch of slack from me. Sorry, but I don't buy that kind of bullshit. No way.

    Who says that Trump and/or Trump's supporters hate blacks and Hispanics? What Trump and his supporters hate are ILLEGAL (meaning not allowed BY LAW) immigrants constantly coming into our country on a daily basis.

    You must watch MSNBC too much as well as Rev. Al Sharpton's daily racist comments against whites and Republicans as a whole.

    (See, we can talk smack about your 100% biased news station too)
    Where do you get this stuff from? You really don't understand that Trump is a racist?

    And why on earth do you think I watch MSNBC? WTF?

    Or that I watch Rev. Al Sharpton? As best I can recall, I have never mentioned anything about Sharpton on AMT.

    You want to talk smack about my 100% biased news station? WTF does that mean? What news station would that be?

    Why are you making this shit up?
    I'm using the stereotypical liberal station MSNBC just like you all like to knock Fox News for being "biased" when in fact it shows both sides of politics everyday.

    And yes, I must not understand that Trump is a "racist". Please thoroughly educate me why.

    And your question about what news station I'm talking about, is clearly about MSNBC since that's what I clearly said. Pay attention

  • I don't think Obama really minds Trump. At the correspondents dinner Trump was in attendance and I'm pretty sure the POTUS has the final say on the guest list. The banter that Trump took from Obama clearly set the stage for Donald to run.
    And this is where memories of the President’s performance come into play and take on a potency that one might not have understood at the time. For the politics of populist nationalism are almost entirely the politics of felt humiliation—the politics of shame. And one can’t help but suspect that, on that night, Trump’s own sense of public humiliation became so overwhelming that he decided, perhaps at first unconsciously, that he would, somehow, get his own back—perhaps even pursue the Presidency after all, no matter how nihilistically or absurdly, and redeem himself. Though he gave up the hunt for office in that campaign, it does not seem too far-fetched to imagine that the rage—Lukacs’s fear and hatred—implanted in him that night has fuelled him ever since.

    It's not? What is it then? Certainly not pro-conservative.

    It is awful, and some have claimed the other side is fascist for trying to shut this shit down. It's depressing. I still have not met 1 single Trump supporter in person. Where are all these loonies? I would be interested to have an honest conversation with one.
    Forgive me for assuming that you aren't part of the %1 or the Hollywood elite.
    That could be your problem.

    Does the Captain America picture directly have to do with Trump? No, it doesn't. Not at all.

    You should clearly understand what a response is, but I guess not.

    Lol, I really don't understand it. It's not like I live in a hotbed of liberalism. I don't get it, are these people only showing their support at rallies or on the internet?

    Trump and Sanders supporters going to war with each other helps only the Republican and Democratic establishments. Bernie can't have his people getting dragged down into this muck.

    You're right, it hurts Bernie. Strategic blunder by his fan base. Not that I'm drawing equivalency between the movements AT ALL, but that was what was so effective about the Civil Rights movement. It showed peace vs. violence. Democrats and left leaning people cannot respond with violence and disruption. They must stick with peaceful protests.
    Absolutely but the problem is that his supporters are populated by the same Social Justice Warriors that aim to shut down speech they don't agree with at college campuses across North America. These kids have grown up thinking this behaviour is ok and that they have a right to "not be offended". Nobody has ever taught them what correct political discourse is.
    I'm not sure how different they are than the kids coming out of the late 60's when the issue was Vietnam.

    What everyone needs to remember is what happened when the Dems put up McGovern in 72 and the GOP with Goldwater in 64. These were both hard core warriors of their respective parties. And they both got smoked in the general.

    Except Vietnam and the threat of being drafted in a war they didn't believe in was real. The civil rights issues of the time were real. These kids have it good compared to the children of the 60's.
