Trump Supporter chants Jew-S-A at the press pen

[JA]

But remember guys, this is just economic anxiety.

That's exactly what made me write-off my previous flirtation with Socialism and other material based explanations for human behavior such as this. It likely plays a role to an extent in certain limited circumstances, but to claim it explains any notable element of the Trump movement is to excuse the behavior and beliefs of these people. They're racists, sexists, xenophobes, and Islamophobes. They can dress it up in talk of "patriotism" and "economic anxiety," but bigotry is bigotry. And anyone spreading this nonsense is enabling the spread of bigotry.

I'll bet he was paid by Little Donnie Segretti Johnny Podesta.

Sure he was, because Trump supporters would never yell bigoted slurs at journalists. Give me a break.

WikiLeaks revealed that Trump's rallies were deliberately disrupted and violence provoked by Democratic operatives, so I'm conceding nothing here.

And Trump and his supporters reveal, every time they open their mouths, how disgustingly bigoted they are and how much they revile the non-alt right press' use of the first amendment to call out the pathological liar. Concede or don't concede, it doesn't change what Trump supporters are.

This never happened. Pure disinformation from the Clinton campaign. The account was hacked.

Then why did they defend it as a "Sherriff's star"?

I was being sarcastic. Trump supporters like to pretend that facts are an illusion and that we should believe the pure love and innocence of their campaign instead of our lying eyes, so...

How many Trump supporters do you know?

The ones I know work for a living.  They pay taxes and obey the law.  They get along with all sorts of folks and are amongst the most productive in my community.  They work, raise families, give to their community through churches, volunteering, and charity.  

I grant you that I live in a heavily Republican community, but your description generalizing Trump supporters is downright libelous.  As Hillary doesn't care about being truthful, perhaps I should extend that quality to all of her supporters, eh?

Well, not really.  I'm a grown-up, and I don't hold a candidate liable for every nutjob that supports him/her.  Perhaps I should.  Jesse Jackson referred to NYC as "Hymietown" in the 1984 campaign; he's never apologized for it, and he's never disavowed Louis Farakkhan, and he's a Clinton supporter.  If we're going to play the game of holding candidates responsible for their supporters, I can play too.

Or, we can stop this alt right nonsense and stick to holding candidates to account for their own actions.

You might have a point, if it wasn't for the bigotry constantly spewed out of Trump's mouth about Mexicans being rapists and "bad hombres," targeting Muslims, sexually assaulting and degrading women, and I could go on. Or the fact that the single unifying factor among Trump supporters during the primaries was racial resentment. Or that at Trump rallies there are vendors selling merchandise with "Trump that b*tch" on it and "Hillary sucks but not like Monica" and countless supporters regularly spewing bigotry. Or unhinged surrogates like his son talking about the media readying gas chambers and Gingrich yelling at Megyn Kelly that she's obsessed with sex for asking about Trump's alleged history of sexual assaults. So drop the crap because no one but you and other fanatics are buying it.

As for your supposed respectable Trump supporting neighbors, do you think whether they work hard and live comfortably alongside each other changes who they are? You don't know what they're like behind closed doors, nor do I believe working hard means anything. I'm sure the men lynching African Americans in the South during Jim Crow and riding around in their white hoods were hard working family men and upstanding members of their community as well. That didn't stop them from being raging bigots.

The underlined sentence explains a lot.

Get a job.

Full time job and full time college student, but you tried. Intentionally took my statement out of context to further your own narrative. Good job, you lousy hack.

[JA]

Fuzzy Bear is a fascist so he uses traditional fascist rhetoric about him and his buddies being hard-working family men as something that makes it ok to be racist. None of this is new.

Yeah. Run-of-the-mill Hitlerite scum.

I actually yelled at the people in the press pen in Tallahassee, but I just gave them the universal gesture while walking by .

Wow, you really are an ass.

They're proud of being deplorable. Yet we're supposedly reaching when we call them Fascists...

You guys don't seem to realize that calling these people deplorables is only driving them out to the polls. You do realize that you, like your own candidate, are engineering your own downfall and are only succeeding in isolating yourselves from the broader public that you should be engaging.

If you don't want to be called deplorable, then don't be deplorable. Unlike some, I don't want our party to reach out to Trump voters. I want to see them isolated and relegated to the trash heap of history. And no, you aren't the broader public. Your candidate's supporters are pissed off white bigots who're quickly becoming a minority in this country as thankfully most of your kind are being replaced and outnumbered.

[JA]

How, precisely, do those taking big stances on 'never giving them power' and 'isolating them and consigning them to the trash heap of history' propose to do so? I mean, you can't really do that to 30, 35, 40 (depending of course on how many Trump supporters are considered to be deplorable) percent of the electorate using the mechanisms of a liberal democracy in the current form of the United States.

Considering our side has the demographic advantage, which is increasing year by year, they can either drop the bigoted, white nationalist nonsense or face being in the permanent political minority (or at least blocked from the Presidency indefinitely).
