Trump doesn't have to be Hitler...

Ah, there it is. That's why you're such a butthurt little apple.

But feminists complaining about receiving death threats, they're the real whiners, right buddy?

Racism and misgyny were part of the package he was selling.

I'm sure they had some other reason to vote for someone so openly misogynistic. Maybe they were bullied by their in-laws.

I do not have the time or energy to give you a link dump of 45 news items relevant to the topic. Here's the thing: either Trump is empowering and inflaming WS sentiments or he's not. Either he's got plans to put all Muslims on a registry or he does n. Either he intends to strip LGB/T people of every legal protection that can be removed by EO, or he doesn't.

If you as a sane citizen do not want these things to escape your notice if they happen, then go out and do some research and some reading. Find out for yourself and don't ask people to just hand it to you.It's an important enough subject that you ought to want to know the truth without waiting on me to set aside an hour or more to do a link dump. Hell, Idon't even know what constitutes an acceptable level of proof in your eyes. I've been linking stories about this stuff here for at least six months (mostly in the election thread) now and you either didn't read them or do not consider them sufficient.

There are, in those threads, facts about the existence of fake news sites and how they impacted the election, and from whence they came.

No one here is making that claim.

What danger? He isn't any more dangerous than Obama has been. Which is to say I'm pretty sure he's going to do shit I don't like, or at least try to, but he's not the anti-christ.

Says the racist who defends rich white rapists.

@Captain X The danger of being a hothead, for one. Who wants this guy anywhere near our arsenal of nuclear codes?

As to the rest of the shit....to reiterate what I said here or in the only other active non-Turnergate thread, when that video of Obama's pastor came out, he very quickly put distance from that and was adamant that his pastor didn't speak for him. Whether there was truth to that is for one to decide, but there was hardly enough to get the alt-left excited about him supporting the less savory actions of the Black Panthers.

I haven't seen anything remotely like that from Trump. So again, it comes down to Nova's post earlier: would you rather be over worried and be relieved that it was for nothing or be under concerned and wish you could've done more?

A toolbag can hold more than just a hammer, you know.

Such as?

Tell that to him.

Yes. And note that Trump wouldn't even have to have taken the trouble for any additional statement or press conference or whatever. He had several chances to simply answer 'yes' in the several interviews in which he was asked whether he would disavow KKK and WS support. He couldn't come up with that 'yes'.

Of course, that might be because he is just generally a very shy person, and also the meditative, thoughtful kind who likes to think about any response he gives in great detail, never rushing to judgement and avoiding any hasty remarks he might have to retract later. So he might want to consider carefully whether he likes or dislikes the Ku Klux Klan until he was quite sure. And his voters must have agreed that this was indeed a difficult question, and taking a lot of time to answer it made sense. The only thing they were sure about right away was that calling the KKK 'deplorable' was unnecessarily harsh.

but it's all a matter of perspective: to the left Obama was the real Christ - his eight year term was heaven-on-earth! So of course Trump will be made out to be the anti-christ to them.

No.

I'm not sure there's a way to know the answer to that question. And to be honest, I'm not too concerned by it. What concerns me is that Trump ran on a platform that appealed to them. He gave voice to their message, and now he is the President-elect. I think that's the problem, not whether the KKK itself put him over the top.

It's even simpler than that. Trump is racist for his words and deeds, regardless of who supports him.

An excellent point. And recall, too, that Obama even had some words to say about his own grandmother, who had practiced the sort of benign racism that disrespect a black person without condemning them or overtly acting against them. He wasn't willing to whitewash things for the sake of politics.

Honestly, where the ever livin' fuck do you pull this out of?

Oh yeah, I 'member! [/south park]

Is that when the Whitey Righties accused him of throwing his grandma under the bus?

Of the ass

You have to wonder; when he goes to take a crap, does he sit down, or just hold his head over the toilet?

every different flavor of Trump supporter has a hot take on why Trump won and they generally contridict each other.

Having the wherewithal to post an opinion via a youtube video does not suddenly make the opinion authoritative.

Burr isn't a Trump supporter.

And the same is true for his opponents.

Are the mail-in ballots the use of Reliant's command code in that scenario, or the "Kirk to Spock, it's been three hours - are you ready?" moment?

Because hours really DID seem like days, and in fact were.

There was something sweet about the last few days of public meltdown of Trump and his fascist goons. The only thing that really bothered me was that the police failed to gas and beat the fuck out of them while they protested. If you were ever going to gas and beat the fuck out of a bunch of protestors in america it should have been the people threateni8ng to stop the process of vote counting and destroy ballots and kill the vote counters. Instead our police attack and gas peaceful protes6tors who want them to stop killing unarmed peaceful black people.

Anyone want to take any bets on how many unarmed black men get executed by cops and never prosecuted by Biden?

Anyone want to explain to @Tererun that the President of the United States has no part in prosecuting anyone?

She could mean by "Biden" the Biden Administration.

Hypothetically Biden's Department of Justice could prosecute police officers for killings, but that ignores that most prosecutions of all crimes are conducted at the county level under state law, rather than under federal law.
