It's like people have become social justice warriors over night, all in their quest to prove they aren't racists. In my opinion, those people are the most dangerous because they can't see past their BS way of thinking to believe that the world doesn't always work one way.
Watching CNN is their way of thinking. They don't even realize the KKK were Democrats. And that the Republicans ended slavery and voted for civil rights.

CNN used to be respectable back when Lou Dobbs had his show. Now forget it... They've done a complete 360.

But unfortunately they have the power and the outlet to control the minds of the masses. No one here can even quote the president, they just quote CNN anchors and contributers.

So maybe Native Americans should start taking down all statues erected since the Pilgrims came?

Basically all white people need to go. Statues don't actually do any harm. They just stand there without movement or thought.

And it is exposing the GOP, including those in NYC for having a base of people who are self described white nationalists/neo confederates. This is Trump's real base.
Hillary lost. Get over it. You can demonize "Trump's base" all you want but you'll still be a far left New Yorker. Reminds my why I never go there. Commie Cuomo, and Warren Wilhelm are perfect for you.

This ridiculous argument again? Everyone knows that the pre-Johnson Democrat party was conservative. At least the Dixiecrats.

And it was around 1964, coinciding with the Civil Rights Act, that the conservative Democrats switched to the Republican party.

Oh no, what will New York every do without you?


And Cuomo is considered pretty moderate, not sure what you're talking about there.

CNN isn't super liberal overall...it's just that Trump supporters want a news outlet that acts as a Trump cheerleader like Breitbart or Infowars

"The Safe Act", no fracking, horrible tax policy, etc. If you consider Cuomo a moderate, you are a far leftist. If you consider CNN "down the middle", you are a far leftist. You're in good company, most New Yorkers are pretty far to the left.
