In my head I was like "RARRGGH this makes zero sense, you crazy bitch!" He hates immigrants, women, and he's just generally insane. But it's my actual neighbor and they bring me plants every year, and they don't report me to the HOA when my lawn needs to be mowed, but I'm still thinking OMG my neighbor is loving crazy. That though persists and I have trouble even being friends. Is this normal?

yes. it's difficult to see a person the same way once you know inside they support hateful morons (and thus are probably a hateful moron in some way). it's happened to me with a number of coworkers i was pretty close with.

I'm watching the episode right now and this Nomani lady is really really bad.

Ellison represents identity politics, not loving Perez?!!?

i looked up why she'd be on the show and she's an antimuslim bigot. she straight up said it's good of the nypd to racially profile arabs. and that hijabs lead to terrorism. it made all the tone policing more annoying. i wish someone woulda just said you can't tell everyone to play nice when you voted for a guy who's the worst of the worst in terms of tone.

"islam isn't a race" is the dumbest defense because they're always bitching about arabs and persians. plus they make no separation between the various sects that are antagonistic towards one another.

while their own country is ruled by a christian fundamentalist oligarchy and many states are completely in thrall to such people.

there was a brief bit on chapo a while back about how trump's basically permanently tarnished the notion of respecting the office

There's a line between crony capitalists backed by libertarians and populist fascism backed by white nationalism. Get rid of the latter first, then deal with the former.

they're one and the same. the republican party became crazy crony capitalist virtually the same time it became a white nationalist party.

trump is the logical outcome of the southern strategy, he's not some aberration. the republican party has spent the past sixty years creating the environment for someone like him to be elected.

That's interesting, but I don't think you understand the intentions of my post. The last post implied that moderate is wishy-washy. But how many people do you know who support the progressive approach to 100% of the issues, 100% of the time?

I like single payer heath care and universal basic income and usually identify as leftist, but I don't agree with the people protesting downtown waving signs that say "there's no such thing as an illegal immigrant." I don't approve of unlimited free movement and settlement of persons around the globe, which is what that slogan implies. This is because I'm a complicated person and not just an empty vessel for the most progressive agenda.

you don't seem to understand the implication of labeling people "illegal".

nobody wants loving unlimited free movement but it's a goddamn waste of resources to boot em out when they're already here and committing less crime than citizens (and a bunch of them have family here that are citizens). the reason people tend to sign on to most of the "progressive agenda" is most of it is both morally and objectively right.

i'm confused. are you aware obama could afford that on 1. just his income as president (400k x 8 since you don't really spend your own money as prez) 2. or his annual 200k for life for being president 3. or his prior book money 4. or his new 60 million dollar book deal. any one of those he could afford that poo poo and sometimes easily. considering he gets all of them...

Also the purity test thing is a real nonsense issue of new politics fans. For people who can't understand nuance. There is an actual demand currently to be 100% perfect to the idiots on the (would be) democrat side. That's wrong. These people (some in this thread) are idiots.

not a single person in this thread has said this and you morons really need to drop the "oh you want a PURITY TEST?" bullshit. what sanders ran on isn't all that left wing, in most sane countries it's center-left. it's tiring having the democrats just be rockefeller republicans.

You're buying way too much into the fake/distorted public persona of a movie actor. We're merely months removed from millions calling Trump "Hitler reincarnated" and many musing that vans filled with henchmen wearing red MAGA hats would be rounding up all non-whites in the US to prove their citizenship in the weeks following the election. He duped millions of poor racists in the country with ease and he's not going to reciprocate. He's just like Bush on the taxes.

In reality Trump's making deals with Saudi Arabia and was recently spotted at the wailing wall wearing a yarmulke. This week Trump played the strange syncretistic unitarian and the anti-jewish/anti-muslim wings of the alt-right are undergoing a major existential crisis. Many are too embarrassed to even admit they fell for the big con. Some of the patented red MAGA hats are already collecting dust. So far most of Trump's major accomplishments involve stopping things that never came to fruition AKA pseudoaccomplishments. "I stopped the ACA, I stopped TPP, I nominated one guy to the SCOTUS, I stopped the aliens and the bogeyman." Trump's done enough grandstanding that you'd think he'd colonized Mars.

the gently caress is this bullshit.

You may have noticed back in November there was a gigantic meltdown occurring in parts of the country over what Trump AKA Hitler was going to do once in office. Barely any of it has happened. Scalia was replaced by some other guy.

The Clinton's are members at his country clubs, he's donated $$$ to Hillary etc. The idea that Trump was going to throw Clinton in jail was very distorted. The fact that millions of people bought into it is embarrassing.

Trump is a movie actor. Look at his actions rather than his words and tweets. He's not mentally ill. He's a narcissist like many, many other politicians and people on TV/film.

Well, they're also all extremely wealthy which is a prerequisite. I wouldn't put it past him to select people based upon how much ostentatious press it'd get. His psychological profile dictates that need. Tweeting and attention are right below food and shelter in his pyramid of needs. That's why he wakes up at 4AM to read tweets everyday.

Don't believe the lies or the narrow dogmatic view that he should be in a mental hospital. Donald Trump is not an insane rabid psychopath on the loose. He recently was allowed to visit the Pope.

Tons of Trump's voters are currently undergoing major buyer's remorse. That should be a clue that he's just another agent of status quo. Sure he's got tons of carnival barker personality but not much in the form of content. He's not building the wall. He's not deporting tens of millions of illegals.

ot only are Muslim extremists not a bigger threat to Americans than right-wing white extremists, ordinary Muslims are loving being targeted by both groups, both inside America and outside of America. And the KKK is a gently caress sight more of a problem for, you know, literally all the non-white people in America than some nebulous threat of Islamic terror. But, no: racism happens if and only if a white person says the n-word.
