Unfortunately I think that a fair amount of white Republican types are basically thinking to themselves "we just had a black president, when is the de-whiting of America going to stop, things are getting out of hand - now we have hordes of non-whites streaming towards our borders, we gotta stop this with any means necessary." I do fear those (white) border vigilantees heading down to the border to stop the caravan THEMSELVES, and trouble will sure follow. It could get real real nasty.
In my observation, when wayward Democrats or Independents engage in anything involving violence the majority condemns it. The verbal assaults in restaurants were condemned by those holding leftist or Democratic views. Shooting up a Republican baseball practice and recent statements by Maxine Waters were all condemned by the "left." Except in rare instances, I simply don't see that from the Trump fans.
I feel sorry for Republicans - this visual has GOT to be about the worse picture imaginable right before an election (an attempted mass-murdering terrorist trying to murder the opposition, and his van looks like THIS!):
Actually this is the best thing we could hope for outside it being a democrat. Dems are pretty pissed about this. They were hoping it would be just some regular joe so they could say “see here’s a normal republican that trump turned into an evil terrorist. Without trump this person would have been fine.” Instead they got a legit crazy person with a long history of insanity and violence including other terroristic incidents. Obviously they are super desperate so they still have to play the “all trumpers are like this” line it just doesn’t make as much headway when the best example they can come up with is a lunatic.
That is utter and complete crap. All of those things you mentioned were celebrated by a large portion of the left and the certainly didn’t condemn them. Some, some, did condem the shooting. But at the same time attempted to justify it and blame the victim for it.
That's your vision from the leftist camp, and it's entirely opposite from the rightist camp.. skewed you might think? And you would think correctly! But as it stands evidence wise the left have far more visual in condemnation then the right, hands down to date
I don't see it changing anything, except pushing us closer to the brink. The left wing media will say that this guy is just like every other republican, and no crazier than the sanest Trump supporter. The right wing media will downplay it as just a crazy lone wolf, and then get right back to telling everybody that the democrats created this thanks to their constant violence. Just wait for that south american horde to run smack dab into what's waiting for them on the border. One narrative will be crazed hillbillies gunning down poor undocumented migrants in cold blood, and the other will be patriotic Americans defending the homeland. Then once the mid-terms are over, it's going to be even funner watching the democrats try to figure out who is going to be their nominee.
To my liberal friends on this board... a lot of your post history looks like this dudes van inversed... so maybe a little self reflection is in order.
Yes, most sage trumpkinist advice under the circumstances. The circumstances being a garden variety trumpkin whose very short fuse has run its course and has then gone postal.
You got me confused with some other mother ****er up in here. I called this out the gate. http://politicalforum.com/index.php...-warner-center.544431/page-17#post-1069791905 I'm just sayin... crazy is as crazy does.
