I have to put things in terms you can understand. Still waiting for you in the evangelical thread, you know how you've betrayed everything you allegedly believe in to support a vile human being for the sake of power. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php...er-moral-standards-for-the-presidency.299475/
A good number of them are racists - that's just a fact. They can scream to high heaven about not being, but by their actions they are....and they are supporting one in the White House. DD
I am guessing @cml750 won't address this. When backed into a corner, he will choose to ignore, pretend it doesn't exist and make non-specific claims about you being in an echo chamber. He won't address the facts. The truth appears to be something that he just isn't ready to face regarding a few issues. Perhaps it is too difficult to come to terms with what that would mean. I don't know.
It isn't Democrats coming up with the idea that he's a racist. It's racists themselves who have called him and his remarks racist. They have openly said they support him because of his racism. Just look up what the 'fine people' at GoyTalk and the Daily Stormer have said about him. Do you deny that the El Paso shooter used the same rhetoric regarding immigrants as Trump?
Did I even comment on the statue itself? All I commented on was pointing out that Trump did not call neo-Nazis and White Nationalist "fine people". I offered no opinion on the statue itself and whether it should have come down. Some people there were protesting against it coming down but they were not part of the crazies that were there and others were there supporting it coming down and were not part of the crazies on either side. Those two groups are the ones Trump called fine people. He condemned the idiots. .
If you understood the corruption in gaming licenses based on 'native american ancestry' you would understand. Its a massive scam.
Yet, as has been pointed out, they decided to attend a march that was organized by white supremacists. The people who filed for the application were white supremacists. The people did not abandon the march when antisemitic chants started. They did not try and stop those chants or take any kind of moral stand at all. They were not 'very fine people'. That is true even if they didn't or don't subscribe to neo-Nazi ideology.
Do you blame Bernie Sanders for his supporter shooting Republican congressmen? Even though I disagree with Bernie's ideas I don't blame Bernie and its stupid to do so. Extremists on either side are nutjobs. But blaming someone for what a nutjob did is really silly.
Did the shooter of those Republicans use the same language as Bernie to describe Republicans? Did Bernie supporters say to shoot Republicans in order to stop them and Bernie smiled/laughed and do nothing about it? Do you blame extremist Islam for what some nutjobs do when they scream out Islamic chants as they carry out terrorism?
I guess just hold onto the hate if it makes you feel better? I guess pretending Trump is racist even if you have to make up crap out of thin air to show it somehow makes you happy? I have no desire to argue any farther on something where you want to take a stance completely devoid of reality. You did the same thing with the Russia conspiracy / hoax and now have egg on your face for it. Perhaps after Trump wins reelection in 2020 you will accept reality?
In 1989, Trump took a full page ad out calling for the death penalty for black children who were being charged with crimes they never committed. They were coerced into their confessions, falsely imprisoned, exonerated by DNA evidence, and released. Given a chance to take back his statements as recently as this year: “You have people on both sides of that,” he said at the White House. “They admitted their guilt.”
Not even comparable. Unlike our mistake-in-chief, Bernie does not goad his supporters into violent action.
I love how it drives the left crazy not knowing why most Christians support Trump. It shows they have little understanding how god has used imperfect people to drive his will forever. King David was an adulterer and a murderer, Moses was a murderer, Noah was a drunk, Rahab was a prostitute, etc.... There has only been one perfect person who ever walked this earth and he was killed for all of our sins. So keep on wondering why we support Trump while he keeps on doing what he promised he would do.
