It is a statistically proven fact that Americans are more likely to be killed by a toddler with a gun than by a terrorist attack.
And yet, toddlers still get guns on a daily basis.
I resent the implication being made here. I'll have you know my toddler is a very good shot, when she's sober.
Speaking of irrational Guantanamo comes to mind as they want to reopen, couldn't possibly have those dangerous Muslims in stateside prisons. Meanwhile El Chapo is in a Brooklyn Prison and will face trial in Brooklyn court.
Why do those who want to speak about subjects fail to understand even the basic facts?
Needless to say it was never closed, so there is nothing to "reopen".
When calling your political opponents racists and deplorables doesn't work, why not try calling them cowards? If that doesn't work, I'm sure you can find another insult to lob at them that will make them go away. Or not.
I'm waiting for doodyhead, bigbutt, and dingaling to make huge comebacks.
Half the US is racist. That's why you supported a racist and Nazis in the government. People who aren't racists usually don't religiously support racists.
You think it's a coincidence how many Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists have come out from under their rocks since Trump gained power? Jews are being told they belong in the oven, Muslims are being attacked and killed, gays are being beat in the middle of the street.
If you're going to support a Nazi regime, suck it up and accept that you're part of that group.
Your post is very warped, but sadly even if I were to point out all the flaws in it, it would likely fall on deaf ears.
The title of the thread is, "Is cowardice one of the defining traits of the American right?" My perspective is that the defining traits of the American right are a toss up between irrational fear and a lack of critical thinking. I am about to go into a meeting, so I don't have time to address each of the points in the OP. However, I do see these characteristics reflected in their platform - identify what could be a legitimate issue, over-inflate the severity of the issue, create a boogie man and develop policies that are based upon the hysteria that has been created.

If it wasn't vague, what was she specifically saying?
They voted for him twice and they voted for Hillary Clinton too.
"They" all did? Actually, "they all" didn't. As I was home all day election day. I almost panicked, thinking that you were stalking me to know that. But then I realized you had your broad brush out again repainting the forum.
They fixate on guns because they're perpetually scared for their lives. Their obsession with Muslims and terrorism is based on fear. Their white nationalism is based on the fear that is POC became the majority, they would treat white people as poorly as white people have historically treated POC.

The OP said the right was perpetually fixated on guns due to fear. So, you agreed with him on that?
