In one two-hour period yesterday the President of the United States tweeted (1) support for the rebel flag, (2) week-old photos of the border wall, (3) more on the “China virus” & (4) urged the Redskins not to change their name.
That covers every major non-white group in the country.
It’s not dog whistles. These are just whistles.
If you support him, AT BEST you are saying that you are ok with all this.
more voters that are for what he saying.
And I have voted for both parties in my voting history.

If it offends so many than I am ok with changing it though. He was right on fake Pocahontas too.
only facilitates the misinformation, lies and divisiveness of this presidency.
This presidency started out on the verge of a moral bankruptcy and has managed to get worse from day one with no intentions
of turning things around.

and history being torn down by "peaceful protesters". Its amazing that I have yet to see you show any kind of disgust about the damage that is being done to cities around the country but yet you count tweets and act offended. I guess all of those crimes are ok as long as the "peaceful protesters" are wearing masks, right?

What is really difficult for some to reconcile is the insanity across the entire political spectrum.
Positions/activities that get airtime such as "Defund the Police", or monument shaming or riots just create space for individuals on the other side.
I was with extended family last week and even in vigorous debate there were comments like "I was convinced that I would vote for anyone but Trump but now I don't know" or "I'm just not voting, they are all idiots"...
The reasoned discussion is hard to find.
to confront when all you want to do is have a nice time. Best to let others discuss the issues and seek solutions and report back
to you. Maybe you'll read the report, if it isn't too upsetting.
I guess I could go straight to "suck my D"... but that would be the opposite of what I am trying to say about discourse.
So, let me elaborate. I'm not sure my time was disrupted? I think discussion is at the heart of understanding and having some thoughtful (and maybe even heated discussion) is helpful.
The point I'm making is the rush to ends of the political spectrum on both ends is an issue.
Build a wall - not helpful
Defund the police - not helpful
And when either end takes an extreme position, they may speak to the base while offending people in the middle. And in my case (just creating the detail for the anecdote fyi...) there are people who are disgusted on both ends.

On both sides, stop chasing the "shiny object" and set a path that is both reasonable and does not rely on the fact that other guy is an idiot.
As point one above - The president supports the rebel flag
I think that the vast majority of us could get behind banning that flag as it is a symbol of hate. I'm not sure this has always been the case. Don't think that "Dukes of Hazard" was promoting the KKK or white supremacy, but that could just be my ignorance. As someone who grew up in Louisville Ky, the use of the flag was more about fishing and hunting than race, but again I can't speak for all. Certainly, it has a different meaning today, and if we accept that point then I think we can accept that it should be removed from public/gov't locations. The leap to monument destruction creates a backlash against what I feel is a very reasonable position.
I could take the same view on "Build a wall and Mexico is going to pay for it" - overreach for a reasonable discussion regarding immigration reform.
Police reform, sure... Defund the police overreach
And you? what are your solutions?

both sides are looking for tough asks - best not to vote or call for level headed solutions seeing a good discussions is hard to find.
But then, that's what I read.
...telling you what he encountered.
I guess you wish that his experience was different...and have decided to castigate him because it wasn't what you would have wanted it to be.

Since that invited more questions, for some reason, moving on...
Anymore you are either BLM all the way or MAGA. Guess what, both of them are extreme and both suck. These people are literally destroying this nation.
There use to be normal folks in the middle. Not no more.
he had the economy performing at a pretty darn good level and he got the North Koreans to quit flying missiles over Japan. He also had the balls to call people out and was correct more than not. He got rid of the Hawkish Bolton and prevented the Chinese from coming here sooner than advised. That was definitely a better choice on that call that no one else had the guts to make. People were just starting to come out of the race issue that Obama truly created with supporting the false narratives of Treyvon Martin and the cop defending himself in St. Louis. His prison reform was a great move for the minority population and with more people working from all backgrounds, we were getting along despite some political incorrectness. It seems like we all got along when we could laugh at ourselves and he, as stubborn as he can be, could also do that. Only Reagan approached that ability to laugh at himself
All extremists do, about the other side.
The economy was inherited and then artificially juiced. Even with that he never had 3% growth in any full year.
North Korea is still the same threat and the China trade war was a disaster. He got zero out of it. China is aggressively threatening Hong Kong and Taiwan. The mullah are enriching uranium. Your comments on race are also deranged. He has been completely divisive since day one on that subject, and to even suggest he laughs at himself is beyond laughable. He’s the most think skinned occupant of the Oval for many years.
You frickin' asshole
not with me smack head. You would know that if you could read or even reason a little bit.
Instead, your blind hate and spite is in full force.
Ever notice how I never respond to yer droppings? That’s because they are worthless dribble. You, on the other hand, are drawn to me like a moth to a flame. You are a sad, petty person.
that there is funny.....you go on and on whining about Trump and using 2 yr old names for him
But go ahead and think you trigger me
What an asshole
I live in your head like Pelosi and the Lincoln Project live in the dear leader’s.
You simply can’t help yourself.
It’s enjoyable to watch you squirm and get all bothered over it. And your childish habit of name calling people twats and pricks when you are mad is also kinda cute.
Full of useless jibberish...get a fucking job
I would say you are better than this, but you aren’t.
Keep coming back, it’s entertaining......but you should watch yer language being someone who cares about such not. Calling people twats and pricks is so child like, don’t you agree?
By the way under whose watch is all of this carnage and chaos happening? How has America been made great?
It's a well orchestrated uprising to make sure he doesnt get re-elected.
And you know it.
Until someone on the left gives a shit about the 50-60 black on black murders that take place every weekend in Chicago you have no place to say anything
Or the 8 yr old girl killed in her parents car this past weekend in ATL by black protesters
What a fucking joke

His continual drumbeat on these issues is a desperate attempt for re-election.
It’s not going to work. He’s a failure who is down to his core supporters of morons, like you.
