Trump isn't going to convince anybody that not everyone in the first protest group was a racist but he tried anyway for several minutes in that conference. Really it doesn't matter how deeply anyone on the right in Charlottesville identified with the Nazis that were there, the problem is that they were (according to Trump) okay with "being on the same side" as the hate groups of slightly differentiating whiteness that "just happened" to be there. Imo it's cowardly of him to basically insist that bigotry can be measured on a scale.

DreamShipWrecked posted:Yknow, it's amazing. We didn't even get some new age hate group, with similar idea but different branding. No, it's literally Nazis again. Adolf Eichmann was a high-school dropout who couldn't even keep a steady job in his father's company. The alt-right is primarily composed of aimless, angry-because-women-won't-gently caress-me guys who want a Daddy figure to pave a path to greatness for them. None of them are leaders. I've said before that Trump is not America's Hitler, but after today I'm worried that he's so desperate for adulation *from anyone* that he's going to *try* to become that. He'll fail, but his failures will give a *competent* and *patient* fascist all the tips they need to succeed. Every failure by Trump to coddle the racist right is a victory for someone who can - and will - do 'hate' better.

It's about making the most outrageous possible statements so if any logical hangup or self defeating argument gets in the way of that it's like whatever to these people

I own an M1 Garand with a 1943 dated receiver. There's a great chance that it's been used to kill Nazis. It's a most prized possession. I also have a Mosin Nagant so I got the Eastern Front covered as well so my odds of owning a Nazi killer are extra good! Shimrra Jamaane fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Aug 15, 2017 |

Trump's primarying of McConnell is a litmus test. If it works, he and his Cabinet will do their best to replace the GOP 'old guard' with neophytes eager to do anything and everything they're told to become career politicians.

What happened? Was... was the President of the United States of America bringing up "whataboutism" and seemingly taking the side in favor of WHITE loving SUPREMACISTS AND FRIGGIN' NAZIS? Any other guy, no matter how vile, hateful and monstrous would've taken advantaged of this situation no problem. How can you gently caress up this badly? Why double down on something like this?

So, just throwing this out here, do we suddenly see the GOP rapidly accelerate the Mueller investigation or try to move on it quickly to try to backstab Trump? I'm just going full cause it's been that kind of a crazy day.
