The Democrat Party has swung way too far to the left. It's not about race or sexism or any of those other things. Until you wrap your head around that , or until the Democrat Party dials it back a bit, you're just going to continue making the wrong assumptions and generalizations. Your refusal to acknowledge what I'm trying to tell you is going to help get him elected again.

I've tried to get this point across too, but have since given up. The thought around here (and most left-leaning places) is that President Donald Trump is nobody's fault except for the people that voted for him (and Russia I guess). The won't accept the argument that everybody in this country (Dem or Repub, white or black, gay or straight, rich or poor, natural citizen or illegal immigrant, whatever) has contributed to cultivating a society where someone like Donald Trump can be the president.

That's a pretty esoteric argument. That same society cultivated an environment where Barack Obama could be president too. I'm not saying you're wrong, but people are responsible for the lever they pull and the choices they make. There's enough people in this country that saw Trump as an abomination, but our electoral college led to a different conclusion. John Kasich could have beaten Hillary easily. Why did the Republican primary voters go with him? That's not everyone's fault, in my opinion.

The point is that maybe, just maybe, there are other factors to Trump's political success besides racism. And I'm not minimizing the racist aspect of all of this. But if you think over 60 million people just thought "Finally! A real racist! He's got my vote!" then whatever, keep thinking that.

This is something that someone really needs to compile; a list of all his contradictory tweets. There's many lists of his lies, but there seems to be so many contradictions between the stuff he tweeted pre-presidency and now during his presidency that I'd be interested to see how many there really are.

Well, not that blatantly (also, nobody thinks of themselves as racist)...I cannot prove it, but I don't think Trump happens without Obama...I think the whole "Finally, a president that LOVES America" shtick is absolutely derived from having a black president for eight years. What's the term..."racial anxiety."

Like most topics, this is much more nuanced than we'll be able to pull off here. There's the definition of racist...their motivations...the "straight ticket" voter...the whole "I hate career politicians" thing. To me, race/racism was a factor, but not THE factor. Of course, I'm going to have a harder time making excuses and pointing to other things when he wins in 2020.

Gotta be hundreds of them.

The funny (or sad depending on how you look at it) thing is the he's always so forceful in his opinions. So it always makes him look like that much more of a fucking hypocritical dope.

This is sort of the conventional wisdom of the day. But I'm not really seeing it...unless you mean, they've swung really far left since the dixiecrats were prominent. Was Obama really that different? When did this terrible swing start? What key issues are that different?

I guess the "justice dems" are partly responsible for the perception...and may Bernie is, too (even though he's only a dem when it's convenient). But now that Trump is dedicating some effort to screaming "socialist" it's kind of being a self-fulling prophecy. "OMG, they're sooooooo liberal."

Your second bold is kinda true...but the problem for the Dems is that in order to "acknowledge" that, they have to placate he "racial anxiety" that afflicts the base. Then they lose a chunk of their voters. Or else, what is it that they have to dial back?

Bingo. I'm assuming Ryme believes a lot of what Trump says and watches Fox News.
Bang. Done. All Dems are socialists. Echo Chamber.

I think the handling of illegal immigration might be the key issue that's different. Obama deported over a million people. Hillary, Shumer, and the rest have all voted for fencing at the border and other measures to keep out illegal immigrants. But once Trump took that rhetoric to another level, and kind of hijacked illegal immigration as "his issue," there became sections of the democratic party so desperate to oppose him at every turn, that it gave rise to prominent democrats like AOC that argue that crossing the border illegally shouldn't be a crime. So I'm not so sure the entire party has swung too far left. But some of the loudest voices and most visible people (like Bernie as you pointed out, AOC's "squad") might have swung too left for moderate democrats and Trump-hating republicans.

I know there are a few people that are annoyed that the Moving Train is an echo chamber.

But as a liberal, the rest of the internet is my Moving Train.

Has the Team Trump Treason Administration denounced this yet? If not, what are they waiting for? We know how Team Trump Treason is fond of Putin on the Ritz and Putin on the ritz's feelings toward the LGBQT community.

Poland’s right-wing ruling party has found a new target: ‘LGBT ideology’

Tension is growing between a burgeoning LGBT rights movement and a conservative backlash. The Polish ruling party has been accused of fueling and exploiting it.

I don't pretend that racism doesn't exist. Of course it does. I don't think it plays nearly as big a role as some people think it does. I think the left plays the race card way to often, any time it suits them. I have a number of black friends who would be happy to back me on this. I have Hispanic friends who feel the same way.
The word ALL can not be applied almost anywhere. There are misguided goofs in every walk of life, can't help that.
*(Following the first black president) had absolutely nothing to do with my vote.
I don't give a damn what color the president's skin color is. All I care about is what direction he or she is intends to take the country.

Thats it!!!

Reasonable people can disagree on which way the country should be run.

And when the trump voter who says they aren’t bigoted says they voted for trump because when Obama was president, things went “too far”, what does that mean?
