It seems a bit early for it to stick but I can see it:

"You, you voted for Trump! See what you have caused?'
I mean, Trump put Bannon in the White House along with him so you tell me... has it worked so far?

Trump's "base" don't seem to care if he's a Nazi sympathizer and sucks up to the Klan. I mean, they're a good chunk of his voters, so why should they?

I dunno where Hillary fits into this one because Trump could just as easily have put someone on his staff other than Bannon.

Doesn't matter.

All that matters is that congressional Rs don't think they'll pay a price if they replace him with Pence. Trump's not even a year into his presidency.

Trump was/is a fear mongerer. Much of his campaign rhetoric was making it seem like Brown people are here to take over, rape your women and children, take your jobs and blow you up.

PC? What? You want to be an a** hole, go for it, nothing was ever stopping you.

In regards to the topic at hand, why aren't more Trump supporters coming out saying that those Nazi folks don't represent them? It's like if a Muslim does something, people are quick to blame ALL Muslims. Why aren't more Trump supporters speaking out against these emboldened hate groups?
People all over these boards and all over the country are saying they don't represent them. Just because you say something is true doesn't make it true.

Will the liberal tactic to tie Trump supporters with Nazi supporters work?

No

If they don't want to be associated, maybe they should tell those terrorist groups not to name their marches things like "Unite the Right"

Like anyone has control over what those asshats call themselves. Maybe they should tell those terrorist groups like Isis not to kill in the name of the Islam. One might think that anyone that follows the Islamic faith is a part of Isis...

Yeah. You see how ridiculous what I said was? Maybe people should stop doing that with Liberals, BLM and Antifa too. Good idea yes?

They are desperate. The whole "Russian Hacking" thing has just died due to lack of anything approaching evidence or proof. And the public has recognized that the whole thing was one big lie after another to try to undermine this president. So they HAD to move on and try something else to stir up the masses.

It's not unlike prior to the civil war when Northern industrialists and the media they bought and paid for wanted to place unfair export tariffs on southern products, while placing import tariffs on manufactured products, most frequently purchased by the south. It's hard to rally the people about passing laws that unfairly enrich one group over another. "Line our pockets" isn't much of a rallying cry. Yet when you can form a narrative and manipulate people into believing they are on the side with moral superiority by claiming it's about "slavery"-its a lot simpler. Identity politics has been an effective tool to divide this country for a long time.

Liberals , sure I agree with. Some of them have some common sense.


As far as BLM and Antifa, sorry I don't think so. While BLM might have started with good intentions it ended up morphing into a militant group. And Antifa, they've been militant from the beginning, and are anything but anti fascists. Unless of course you keep in line with them.

Do you understand anything about the nazis? The fact that you think that pulling down a statue is "acting like nazis" tells me that you do not. There is a lot of material out there for you to read. BTW, a nazi killed 1 and injured 19 by driving his car through a crowd of peaceful people. Is that what you call civilized.

Please educate yourself. This is not a road you want to go down. America defeated you or those you defend in WW2 and the American Civil War. You will be defeated again!
