The fact people still take him seriously I find completely mind blowing to be 100% honest.

Your mythical "hmm let's go down the bullet points from immigration policy to Arpaio and reach a conclusion" isn't at issue. That is because you shit on people who voted for Clinton. You demand your views be respected at all costs, but then refuse to extend the same to others. Everything revolves around your feelings and that you feel respected and comfortable at the expense of everyone involved.
Show me. You exaggerate like mad, but show me "you shit on people who voted for Clinton" and this bs about not extending the same to others.

Because confessions are so reliable. Police has never forced a defendant to confess to a crime they did commit. There is so much evidence of Trump’s racial bias that I lose track of all of it.

Funny enough, does it make it better m4ini if you're a racist for your jokes, and Trump's a racist for (likely) participation in his father's real estate controversies and Arpaio?

Again, Danglars, in your opinion was the American population ever racist? If so, when was racism fixed?

Nah, I’m all set. I won’t play into your victimhood any more. As I said before, you are more interested in proving the other side is terrible than having a discussion. You fail to provide other posters with the respect you constantly demand.

Danglars, do you condem the fact that >1/5th of the eligible black population in Kentucky can't vote?
Do you think that Trump is racist? Do you think there's institutionalized racism in this country?
Let's stop pussyfooting around.

I'm hardly joking, it's a pejorative and understood as one, but by definition it really had joined fascist for actual meaning. “definition it really had joined fascist” Can you rephrase that please? I’m have a hard time parsing what you are trying to say. Fascist showed up in Orwell's essay on Politics and the English Language. He said it now existed as simply "something not desirable." When you posit the racist choice for president, or really which racist you wanted for president, I say the word similarly exists as something like "a person I disagree with personally or politically." I’ve said this before: but I am convinced a man could burn a cross on Obama’s lawn and you would still question if that man was racist. Your refusal to engage with the word makes further discussion of this topic pointless. Then stop these political gotcha questions like you voted for Hillary or that racist. I've heard enough of your style binaries, like there's what you believe about immigration policy, and then there's the racist policy. Ironic because it was directly addressed by the article that I linked. If you could please answer me this. At what point does a voter become responsible for the racist policies enacted by the politician he voted for?
What was the field? Are the racist policies Gorsameth not liking the policies (this forum all day long on immigration policies. Wall = Racism), is he locking the blacks up? If I refused to vote Hillary, was that a vote for Trump and thus for racism?

I think there's a difference between making a funny about american stereotypes etc and pardoning someone who tortured and "hunted" down blacks and latinos.
What kind of retarded question is that?

I find broad similarities between you and actual haters based on skin color. And we're straight back to "judging conservatives for racism is basically racism". And any criticism of liberal elites is folly. I call them like I see them, and your argument is basically the same fringe with the political epithets and sacred cows reversed. Again, when people say you're being racist, they're not doing it as an insult. They're doing it because you're being racist. You can keep telling yourself that it's not connected to anything you're doing but that won't make it true. It's not an insult. It's a description. If you don't want the description then stop doing the thing. I feel like we're living in the equivalent of a bizarro world where a bunch of actual literal rapists who actually rape people are insisting that rapist is a rude insult and that they won't engage in any kind of debate until the other side agrees to stop calling them rapists. And then they go out and vote to legalize marital rape or some shit but insist they only did it to get back at the people who keep saying they're fine with rape. Look, we don't need your fourth time saying half the country is racist, there's no problem calling half the country racist, and the solution is for racist people to stop being racist. I wrote my response that there's a great need to bring people that think like you do back to sanity from lunacy. I laid it out, and you backpedaled like calling tons of people racists makes everything better. It doesn't. You're equivalent in character to some of the worst Trump MAGA characters I know and I have the devil of the time persuading people that your opinion of half the country is a minority in the Democratic party ... aka not everybody sees themselves as the white knights against a racist country sent by some colonial power to save the indigenous racists. In your opinion was the American population ever racist? If so, when was racism fixed?
Does your wife, neighbors, friends know you think they're racist or do you have an insular friend circle? What do they think about it? I mean, do they outright admit it and say they're recovering, or maybe get angry? Does it ever trouble you to insult half the country and then ask them to vote like you do?

And you wonder why people accuse you of deflecting from the issue? It's a very simple question, that could've been answered just by a single sentence. If you quote one thing and answer another of five pages back because it's more convenient, yeah that's on you.

Are democrats that dumb? I doubt it. They very well might be. They managed to get Trump elected, after all. that would be the republicans who got him elected; not the democrats. You're both right. Democrats failed to field a candidate that would win. Republicans were probably just as surprised by this win. Hillary could've won though, that's the point. The way they handled the entire campaign is what lost them. Keep in mind, the majority voted for HRC. It's not just the eMails, it's how they "handled" Sanders, how people had to resign because of fuckery, etc and so on. How often are you gonna quote and answer the same post? Let me ask you this, lets see if you get a clear answer out: what conclusion would you come to now?
At the risk of responding twice (and this thread moves quick, sorry), I'd say the situation with Arpaio starts to change things. Most of the accusations of racism in the campaign were intellectually bankrupt and obviously politically motivated. You seem to have an honesty streak, so I wondered what about his campaign struck you that way. I mean this as more than Trump sticking his foot in his mouth and being an incompetent communicator.
