Discussion: Trump Tweets 'Peace To ALL Americans' Upon Charlottesville Anniversary

TPM Article Topics
21

So if I’m a racist and feel that the left has been treating me in unfair and racist manner, then I just heard the president condemn those I despise.

He is so in thrall to his base, and the base to him, that he is incapable of doing the right thing. People in the future will look back on these days with disbelief wondering how we ever let this happen in the first place.

We are not as smart nor as civilized as we like to think we are.

Either trump didn’t tweet that himself, or someone told him how to spell peace.

Real Americans™ understand Pres Trump is talking about the massive discrimination against White Christian Nationalists.

There’s where you went astray.

Self-identified Republicans account for about 24% of the voting-age population.
Democrats account for about 32%.
The rest are independents, third-party, or just don’t care.

Okay, assuming all crazies are republicans, you can double the percentage of crazy republicans. There’s still a 96% chance that your average republican is not crazy, and there’s still a 100% chance that Richard Painter would be a good Senator for Minnesota.

Republicans who tolerate the crazy are equally crazy for tolerating it.

Just as Republicans who tolerate racism are themselves racist because they tolerate it.

Not that far from the TPM comment boards, really. Lotta Tamarians here.

Not sure where this post fits in the current discussion, but

more than 98 percent of every republican you meet is not a crazy racist sexist xenophobic trump-loving moran

Their fingers must represent that last 2%, because they use them to cast their ballots, press the Buy button to order their “Rather Be Russian than Democrat” t-shirts, and raise the middle one to the Constitution.

The upper case “ALL” is just another Trump reference to “both sides”. The National Embarrassment is shameless.

Sure, but still racists. If you’re still registered as or voting republican at this point you’re a racist. Your party is a white supremacist org that thinks the law doesn’t apply to them. There are no excuses.

Okay, here’s my point (trying my hardest not to hit my caps lock, use a lot of 1s and ones and !s, or say something ad hominem): make your assumptions absolutely clear and unambiguous. Use verified numbers. Make the logic of your argument absolutely crystal clear. Do not abuse logic – logic is nice. Then I will respect you and listen to you. Otherwise, I’m going to keep writing about pee and catheters until everybody is on the same page, namely my page. That’s it.

“I condemn all types of racism and acts of violence…”

“… on both sides.”

I have no problem with Painter.
You infer that which was not implied.
