    imagine that. A person not afraid to show their face.

    See that alot around here with the keyboard cowboys never show their faces.

    Funny, I thought I was talking about racism. Don't change the subject.

    OK, we can run this into the ground. I'm not interested in a Hegelian critique of cultism. Let's just say it is cult-like. We can "Liken" this conversation about Trump and his followers. What I get tired of is when Republicans come back with, "Oh but Obama!" and, "Oh but Hillary!" I was not arguing Obama or Hillary cults; God knows, there may be some here and there. This thread is about Trump and his followers. It's not about John Lennon or Papa John Creech.

    During his first week on the job Trump fired the top 40 federal prosecutors. He knew he was guilty and he knew they were the experts who could get him convicted for financial crimes, money laundering, tax evasion, and paying big money for sex. I'm amazed his followers have such a hard time seeing past his call for The Wall and the Muslim Ban.

    There was never a ban on Muslims. You see them at the airport everyday.

    More like anti Trump supporters are a cult, I mean if Trump supporters are then they have to be as well. :p

    Back in my day you were just a person when you voted. Now you have to watch out for stereotypes and labels for picking a side that you think might improve your life.

    Naaaa, haven't seen any proof yet, just endless allegations from people who "hate" Trump. Once that fog clears, maybe we'll see something real.

    I don't care for Antifa and their tactics, but they're anti-fascism, thus the name Antifa. As for the Klan, they're anti-black, anti-Jew, anti-Muslim, anti-Hispanic, anti anything not white Anglo-Saxon Protestant. The Klan is a racist organization, Antifa is not. And once again, the discussion was about racism.

    And no matter how much disgusting shit he pulls, you will always dismiss every criticism of him as hysterics. It's sad to see how you have gotten so deeply programmed... I mean, anyone who believes what you believe couldn't possibly be responsible for their own beliefs.

    Isn't fragile rocks post a little hypocritical?

    What's often good for the goose isn't good for the gander

    Putting down a person over political views about putting down people for their political views. Lol.

    And this whole bullshit about being programmed. If you have to use the word programmed, you've most likely been programmed IFYM. Free will and thought, opinion isn't being programmed, but I guess if you aren't siding with someone, then you have to be programmed like it's inconceivable to form your own opinions, it must have been programmed into you, they say, while watching the news.

    I agree everyone has a right to their political views but it really does take a certain type of person to support Donald Trump.

    Omarosa said it best in her soon to be New York Times’ bestseller Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House, in which she describes Trump as a “Misogynistic, Racist Pig who regularly uses the N_Word, and acts like a fool when he’s not in the company of his wife”


    So you have to ask who would support someone like that:


    Poor whites who feel disenfranchised
    Wannabe Nazis
    White Supremacists
    The Mentally Unbalanced
    Militia Groups
    Trailer Trash
    Extreme Right-wing Radicals
    Rural Trash
    The low end of the gene pool
    Hypocrites whose grandparents came to America most of whom couldn’t even speak English
    - and they have the gall to call-out Hispanics
