Only three months ago, the author foretold what would happen because a large number of Hispanic voters are leaning toward trump: the left would go "loco". the Leftists have gone loco. the media lies and hyperbole of calling the republicans names, attacking trump and his donors by democratic party politicians makes sense.
What is a large number of Hispanics as it relates to the overall number of registered Hispanic voters?

Sounds like just another guy with a broad brush creating click bait.

How do you define far right? Anyone who disagrees with you? That is typical leftists thinking if so. I don’t consider myself an extremists at all, have occasionally voted for a democrat and try to view issues without the emotion of right vs left, us against them. I did not vote for trump or Hillary because I did not want to be responsible for putting either in office. However, I have been shocked by the vitriol from the left since trump was elected. It’s on another level than this country has seen before. The left was so hurt from Hillary losing and it shows. I absolutely do not agree with the squad and think they are on some level dangerous to western values.

Most Leftists are LIARS, and project their thoughts, feelings and actions onto YOU as accusations. It is the basis for their beliefs.

Great to see Tucker calling it out for what it is. He will be called a white supremacist/nationalist just for saying this. Again, the left will continue to label any white conservative who disagrees with them as a white supremacist/nationalist. It is the same thing as calling everything racist. These are the games they play.

Have you noticed that "white supremacy", essentially a non-existent phenomenon, is now so widespread that half of Americans are presumably "white supremacist"?


The left keeps getting more and more crazy, almost at a logarithmic pace. They envision there is a klansman behind every bush and that half of Americans are dead set on eliminating minorities. It is the ultimate in fear mongering; however, totalitarians thrive on creating fear and division among citizens. They are simply using their Allinksy tactics to the extreme.


Don't fear the imaginary "white supremacist"- fear the real liberals that are the greatest threat the nation has faced, as they are an enemy within that can vote.

Not only is the white extremists things a hoax but so is mass shootings when compared to how many people die in automobiles every year because of aggressive driving, distracted driving, and drug abuse. Those are the real killers that we as a society seem to gloss over for some reason. It’s mind boggling really.
No, they walk into a the middle of a crowded mall and shoot people or build a truck bomb and blow up a building.

Your classification of the El Paso shooter is worthless. His view on immigration was clearly right wing.

The mass shooting thing is not a "hoax". When people walk into a mall and the first thing they have to worry about is their escape root, it is as legitimate a terrorist threat as an airplane hijacking and intentional crash.

White Supremacy is not a Hoax... and people dont have to register, or be apart of groups like the KKK to be considered a white supremacist. They are growing in number. That is a fact.

I don't blame Trump... I blame Obama, and all the identity politics/anti white racist bull**** that he did for 8 years.

White supremacy was a reaction to Obama.

The only way you end this nonsense is by actually securing the border/ending illegal immigration. No one has a problem with legal immigrants... but even white supremacists are right when they talk of an invasion...

why does a nation need to take in millions of dirt poor hispanics (that DO NOT BELONG IN THE COUNTRY) who bring crime&drugs? depress wages, and steal welfare? ruin schools& hospitals? Because they (once given amnesty), and their born citizen anchor babies vote democrat?

without being honest you can't criticize the other side.

White Supremacy is disgusting, but Obama's identity politics was just as disgusting. (I never saw media hysteria ripping him apart).
Could you provide one example where Obama went over the top with identity politics and likely caused people to become white supremacists? I’m not buying your theory.
