So is Trump's overt racism a draw for you if you support him?


Or do you support him despite that? How do you overlook such a thing, though?

reply

Its not any more racism as why Beto goes by Beto living in El Paso. He still won't get a job as dog catcher now. I'll vote Trump because I'm minority and poor and don't want to be forced on a mass transit bus because some over priveledge white person thinks it will saves from pollution.I'll keeping my old pickup and voting Donald.

I had to read this at least five times, before I realized this is what was actually said.

A man named Beto living in El Paso is the same 'racist behavior' as a President telling four minority congresswomen to 'go back to the country where you came from' ?

I am reading that correctly, right ? A member of this forum actually posted this and said the two are the same, correct? Purposely - not mistakenly - posted this, correct ?

reply

Im going to go with, they dont think he is racist in any way shape or form. And judging by the posts, that will be the truth. If they cant see their own bigotry, I dont see them seeing it in others.

reply

Lib straw men abound.

reply

I dont think that means what you think it means.

reply

I know full well what it means and it applies, in this thread.

reply

No it doesn't - and you have no idea what it means. Otherwise, you wouldn't be posting this as a reply.

reply

or............................... maybe it's simply beyond your comprehension.

reply

By the way, yes it does. I know you are but what am I? Nah nah nah. My dad can beat up your dad!

reply

My dad will fuck your dad...and your dad will like it 😁

reply

So your dad is a necrophiliac! Lol.

reply

Yes it does.

reply

Do you think his recent "go back where you came from" remarks are racist? Because they aren't, by any definition of the word.

reply

"go back to where you came from" is a text book go to for bigots. It has been for generations. Being purposefully obtuse, isnt a solid strategy here. You might want to try a different tack.

reply

It isn't textbook at all, particularly in this instance. In fact, it's a reach to see it as racist.You saying it is means nothing. It's a declaration stating; if you aren't satisfied and all you do is complain,feel free to leave. Hell, if someone came into a restaurant and did nothing but bitch about how terrible it was, most people would think it perfectly normal for the owner to suggest they find somewhere else to dine. I realize that scenario might force you to try to view this objectively,but it's pretty obviously a fair comparison.

reply

I have to agree with BigWorm, I've never heard anyone say it to anyone where it wasn't a direct racial slur.

"Go back to where you came from..." and it's usually accompanied by a derogatory term for the person's ethnicity.

Surely we're not telling you anything you don't already know.

reply

Also, considering the fact that the women he was referring to were all but one American-born, where was he suggesting they go? He said it because they are women of colour and the inference is that they should go back to another country, despite them being American. Therefore he was suggesting because they are of non-white backgrounds they are less than white Americans and should be sent away from their country of birth.

Not racist? Not much!!

reply

😂 actually, it’s more like being sat at the dinner table in your own home and being told to fuck off because you don’t like the shit sandwich that’s been placed in front of you.

See, if he said “if you don’t like it, you’re free to leave.” You’d have a point. But he didn’t say that. He said “go back to where you came from”. All but one was born in the us. And that one had been in the us since she was a child. So, your explanation is, ironically, a reach. And it’s so reachy I’m wondering if you aren’t a member of the fantastic 4.

I’ve seen people die on som weird hills, but damn dud. That has to be the stupidest.

reply

Try and use your big boy brain and read his words. His statement is xenophobic at best, but it still isn't racist. And, he specifically mentioned that poor condition of their origin, even if that is ancestral, it was never a mention of race,and his point is very valid. My analogy holds strong, despite your inability to comprehend it.

reply

I didn’t say racist, you said racist. I said bigoted. Your analogy is pish, I understand it just fine. Apparently you don’t, as it is, as I said, pish.

reply

You do realize, that with your strong and self certain position, you are a bigot? In fact, most people are, including the people constantly attacking the President. And least they don't try and sidestep calling him racist like you just did. (You did reply to my question about racism, so it isn't a far reach)
Words have meanings bro.

big·ot
/ˈbiɡət/

a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions.

reply

Aww, look you at you trying to be clever. It’s just so precious.

Definition of bigot
: a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices
especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (such as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

So, you go ahead and try to spin it if you like, but once again. Weird hill to die on.

reply

I agree.

reply

Considering 3 out of the 4 we're born in America it's hard for me to see that comment as anything but racist.

reply

Again, it may be xenophobic, but it's not remotely racist. Words have meanings, but the left overuses "racist" because it invokes a more provocative reaction than xenophobe.

reply

The two terms aren't mutually exclusive and often go hand in hand so I would disagree that it's not racist, let alone remotely racist. But even if he were simply xenophobic, that's not exactly an admirable quality for a President to have.

reply

I've never defended Trump's eloquence, or even his general persona. I think he was simply trying to say,if you don't like it leave, but did so in a poor way. I actually have no problem that he isn't conventionally Presidential. They have all, on both sides, been liars and war mongers for the last 3 decades. Everything Trump says is his unfiltered truth, and it wouldn't surprise me if he had a little instilled racism in him, but this wasn't a product of that. His issues are related more to his generation and how they almost all viewed minorities, but again, none of the things reported as racism actually are. I'll take real Trump with all of his flaws over a well polished liar that hurts huge segments of the population by using identity politics as a political pawn, like the Democrats do.

reply

They voted for him because of his overt bigotry. What he did this weekend just confirms his base voted for the right candidate.

reply

Trump does succeed at keeping his base happy. Ultimately, I think that's a good thing because as long as he panders to and tries to impress these miscreants, he alienates just about every other voter in the country with his meanness, stupidity, arrogance, and foolishness. His base isn't going to be enough by themselves to win (steal) another election for him.

reply

Now if he comes out and says he’s having sex with Ivanka, his base will win Bingo. Incest is high on the list of importance for them.

reply

He'd have a sure-fire campaign slogan for 2020 then...All In The Family!

Winning!

reply

He would indeed. LOL! That's the only thing missing from his campaign so far. His base seems to be largely made up of inbred people, so he will definitely win them over....and their kin.

reply

You are a bad caricature of a fringe, leftist extremist.

reply

My apologies - I just realized I hit a nerve with you.

Are your parents brother and sister, first cousins, aunt and nephew, or uncle and niece?

reply

Seriously? Don't flatter yourself. SMH.

reply

Typical...

reply

....and truthful.

reply

As usual, you're beyond irrational. Must suck to be so hate filled.

reply

Interesting that you find the truth 'irrational;, but it does indeed explain your lack of reasoning and logic here.

BTW, hate is at the root of bigotry, misogyny, and racism - so ask T-rump, any of his followers and the Rethuglikkkan party if it sucks to be hate-filled. They will give you an honest answer from their experience.

reply

You are so far out there. Wah wah wah! I hate the cheeto. T-rump, t-rump, t-rump. Wah, wah, wah. Let me know if you need a hug.

reply

Hugs are always good, but not from you.

reply

You're so wrong. I give the BEST hugs.

reply

Your arresting officer didn’t buy that, and neither do we 😁

reply

Just like pedophilia, racism, and hate of America is at the top of the list for liberals.

reply

You mention pedophilia an awful lot LordBAElish, what's that all about huh?

reply

Because its gross that the left wants to normalize it

reply

They don’t, that’s a disgusting insinuation that effectively uses the abuse of children as political point scoring and you should be ashamed of yourself for stooping so very low.

Warren has plenty of ideas. She's got a plan for all kinds of things!

reply

pocahontas? whats that loon gonna do? ban popcorn because of climate change or some crazy shít like that!?

reply

Oh wow, you can't make this stuff up. You actually repeat his insults. Like a god damned puppet! Pocahontas... that's just too funny.

reply

If Trump was actually racist people would speak up.

reply

People aren't speaking up?

reply

People speak up about what a great job he is doing.

reply

Oh like the multitude of women who spoke up about him being sexually inappropriate with them? What good did that do? He just denies, discredits and ridicules his accusers and it all slides off him like teflon, and the rednecks lap it up and love him a little bit more every time. Here's a pig that's not ashamed of being a pig! That's the type of person we need to run the free world!! USA!! USA!!!!

Fake News

reply

Exactly man, fake news. Deflect and dismiss all criticism. That’s the Trump way.

reply

Is the left's overt racism and hate of Jews a draw for you?

reply

Hatred of Jews? Most Jews are reliably left wing.

reply

AOC and Omar both hate them.

reply

jews have it rough in europe thanks to the left, if they keep voting people like like this into office here, it's gonna be bad. some people don't learn.

reply

Oh yeah sure, Jews in Europe worry so much about the left...so much that they're not concerned at all about the re-emergence of neo-Nazis all over the continent. You like speaking out of your ass, don't you?

reply

ask jews in europe whos burning temples and being violent, is not the neo-nazis, well if you're refering to islam, then yeah you'd be right.

reply

Is this something you learned from one of your information sources for the tin-foil hat crowd?

reply

like russian robot reptilian shapeshifters hacking our brains so we'll vote for the orange man? because thats what you think happened, right!?

Actually, you & your Dem/Lib ilk are the true racists since you're constantly accusing innocent people of racism and stirring up racial tension.

Trump was never slandered as a "racist" until he entered politics and ran against the Dems. That's a fact.

reply

Trump was never overt about his racism before he entered politics because he had nothing to gain from expressing it. Once he recognized (after watching Fuckhead News for the last 15 years) that there was a market in hate to corner among the alt-right loonies he took the ball and ran with it.

reply

Little people and Dems/Libs love to slander innocent people. It's their go-to strategy, as displayed in your juvenile post.

Again, Trump's not a racist in the least; he has sizable & increasing support from people of color. He was only slandered as a "racist" when he decided to run against Hillary & the Dems (rolling my eyes).

reply

Do some research. Fox News was rated independently as being 51% critical of Trump and 48% in support. CNN, MSNBC, etc., are 80- 90% critical of Trump.

reply

Fox News is the most honest, impartial news you will find out there.

reply

NO!!! If anyone says anything good about Trump, they're liars, racists (even non-whites), flat earthers, climate deniers, science deniers, homophobes (even the gay ones), xenophobes, illiterate, inbred, bible thumping rednecks, etc., etc., etc.

Trump is not perfect and neither is anyone else but if by some miracle, he was made perfect, the left would still be all: the cheeto! t-rump! orannnnnnnnnnge!!!! I need a safe space!!! Weeee haaaaaate heeeeeeeem!!!

reply

I lol when the MSM and liberals call a gay person a homophoebe because they like Trump. hahah. Or if a black person doesn't fall in line with what is "expected" of them they are called an Uncle Tom.

reply

Kind of like how you fine and decent righties call white liberals race-traitors and muslim-lovers, isn't it?

reply

Its always about race with liberals

reply

It's only about race when scumbags open their mouths and prove that they are racists...like saying things to other Americans like "go back to where you came from."

reply

Its always about race with liberals. We need to have a black X because! We need X number of Hispanics in Y school! Just pick the best, most qualified people and ignore race and skin color!

reply

Is the Lefts inability to be factual and unbiased, while at the same time using fascist techniques to suppress those who disagree with them a draw for you? How do you support and overlook that?

reply

Because their "rules" apply to everyone but them.

reply

Lol, their rules have them going at each other lately for that very reason. It will be an interesting 16 months.

reply

I'm not personally a supporter of groups like Antifa. Don't like a lot of the "de-platforming" tactics used to silence people like Shapiro or keep them from speaking on campuses, either.

I think it's bad politics and morally wrong.

reply

Does that mean you condemn politics in general, because at a certain level,they are all shit heels.
