Which policies of Trump?

you are simply assuming that anyone who is not extreme right wing (alt whites, hardcore GOP, tea party) is somehow "left".
But the only reason you think that is because you are so far right that everything looks leftist to you.

did you know that the right wing parties in the EU all support full public healthcare? Did you know most extreme right groups support abortion, or a woman's right to choose...

the truth is the only thing they agree with you hard right dudes is that they don't like people who don't look and sound like them. racism is your real common bond.. that is it my friend..

Yes. I posted the exact thing about right wing parties in Europe hours before you, you just arent paying attention to whats happening all over the west and are too provincial like most American leftists

http://www.city-data.com/forum/polit...l#post46910995

"I am a trump voter ,a nationalist and right wing, but on social issues I am pro choice/ pro workers rights and environmentalist like alot of alt right people. I just hate how the left has hijacked these issues and the far left has taken over the Democrat party

Why does every environmental and pro choice/ pro worker person mean that you have to be grouped in with the whole black lives matter/anti white//pro islamic/ multicultural open border/ feminist/ globalist special interest groups that control the Democrat party?

These men hating hating feminists and celebrity idiots, black lives matters/ anti white radicals and riots, pro / islamic and multiculturalist , globalist open border types etc absolutely destroyed the democratic party nation wide.

This is the feminist/black/multiculturalist far left gift to the republican party

1-The Presidency

2-The Senate

3-The House

4-Majority of Governorships

5-Majority of State Legislatures

6-At least a generation of a conservative SCOTUS

Most right wing nationalist european groups are liberal on certain social issues like environmentalism and choice but they are anti -feminist/anti-multiculturalist (crime and terrorism) and against open border globalism

It is the far left the black lives matter/anti white//pro islamic/ multicultural open border/ feminist/ globalist special interest groups that control the Democrat party

For some of us, this was a very tough election. We had two people we didn't like in the major parties. I was still not sure what I was going to do right up to the morning of Election Day, and in the end, I went with my conscience and did a write-in. Yes, spare me the "you threw away your vote!" song. I knew NJ would go for Hillary. I just didn't go for Hillary. And I couldn't vote for Trump. I just couldn't.

He's in now, and the only thing I am hoping is that he does do something about the economy for the people in this country who are not working and need jobs brought back to their areas. I am also glad that these women marched today and sent the message that they aren't going to be putting up with any bs. It doesn't matter if Trump laughs at them or not or dismisses them out of hand. He can't function without Congress, and Congress's first and foremost priority is to remain in their jobs. They saw today what so many of their constituents think and that they aren't going to go away. It was a worthwhile effort, and I salute and thank them for the sake of my daughter.
I'm an Independent, living in Texas, who didn't vote for Trump....no 'threw away your vote song' coming from me.

IMO, the lopsidedness of the type of post I quoted outnumbering similar ones on the other side of that particular issue is like an avalanche, but of course to each his or her own on that .

That's just BS, there is no 'man hating' going on. If any normal Republican had been elected, George Bush, John Kasich, Marco Rubio there would not have been any demonstrations today. Trump is a thin skinned narcissist, he has less self control than my four year old grandson and I will proudly demonstrate against him until just maybe he pays attention and puts his big boy pants on. Trump supporters who care about this Nation should be sending him the same message as the rest of us are: Grow the F up and start acting like a President.

She is against public schools and in favor of charter schools. My problem with her is that she wants our tax dollars to pay for some to go to religious schools. Why do any of us need to pay for religious schools for someone else's child. Plus she wants to dollars away from public schools.

All this trivia is very confusing. Now, exactly, what is it these women are protesting? Do they even know? Have they nothing more productive to do? Do they want another President, even though Trump was just elected by a landslide? Do they want babies killed? Do they want to switch rolls with their husband, if by any chance, they have one? Or, are they just wanting to protest "something" ??? I'm reading all kinds of reasons for this women's march. Maybe they just want to be another Helen Reddy. ???

Hey, slow down now, it's very easy to mistake 10,000 people for 40, happens all the time...

Don't worry about it, since you have no clue. Why does anyone here have to explain it to you.

I marched in DC today. It was amazing. Very positive, lots of great signs. Mostly women, but plenty of men too. There were so may more than what was permitted for(permit was for 200K; I've seen estimates of anywhere from 500K - 1M actual) that we couldn't do the planned route, but we were seen and heard and made it work. Tons of cheering and positive energy - thank you DC!!
