Referencing a biased, race baiting "news" organization to support your biased views. No problem there!

I've noticed in the past few years how peaceful AntiFa and BLM are. Not reactionary, full of hate and destruction at all.

The thing I don't understand is the whole illegal immigration issue. The rich people who back the Republicans to keep taxes low want lots of illegals to have a cheap labor force. Who is going to pick their lettuce? Who is going to mow their lawn or clean their toilets? Those aren't jobs American citizens want.
" They're still chanting "lock her up" when Trump is likely guilty of"

There IS A difference. We KNOW hilary broke MULTIPLE laws in the handling of her classified materiel

Your OWN comment, "IS LIKELY GUILTY" Where is your PROOF? You and yours CONSTANTLY make accusations WITHOUT providing 1 single piece of evidence.

The alphabet media puts these things in your minds and to suck it up like a sponge.

You are acting just like the rest if the dems, GUILTY until PROVEN INNOCENT which is the EXACT OPPOSITE of how we do things in America and as we are seeing with the Kav situation.

"The rich people who back the Republicans to keep taxes low want lots of illegals to have a cheap labor force"

Do you work for CNN.

Your IGNORANCE on the subject is ASTOUNDING.

Why don't YOU look into nancy pelosi's husband and diane fiensrtein's husbands if you want to see "rich" who employ "lots of illegals to have a cheap labor force"

You and many like you think ONLY repubs re rich business people.

Public education on display.

OP, Independents voted for Trump. Democrats voted for Trump. Unaffiliated voters voted for Trump. The reasons are varied and complicated. You should maybe seek some counseling.
" I'll also agree that there are a small number of Trump supporters that do hate "others".

They just CANNOT ACCEPT Trump BEAT hillary and she is NOT the president.

Emphasis on "small number"

The left however use the word "hate" a LOT MORE then I see repubs accusing the left of it.

As they say, "Those that make the accusation are usually the ones GUILTY of the accusation"

Violent protesting, stalking politicians at restaurants, at their homes, offices, etrc. are ALL dems showing "HATE"!

The debate on this forum has devolved into name-calling too much of the time. And it's every bit as much from the left as the right, so I find it kind of ironic every time the right gets accused of being haters.

The Right doesn't really have a problem with feelings.

It's that the Left places much to high an importance on them.

Feel whatever you like.

The problem comes when you try to legislate based on your feelings instead of the Constitution.


Take the whole protesting against civil war monuments that's popular among the far left right now.

If we say, ok, we'll take down all the statues because you find them offensive, what's to stop someone who's offended by something you like from wanting that torn down too?

You don't get to pass laws because of hurt feelings.

It's an interesting point of view, but the tonality rubs me the wrong way. Trump is a meanie and the author is feeling psychologically distressed and victimized. I get it.

Now, don't forget to vote next month!

That is the type of fake news which shows how leftist and unprincipled the media has become, and many of you are not even aware how much you are manipulated.
He mocked a sexual assault survivor
He mocked a disabled reporter
He cages children

Every rally he holds he gets his followers to cheer the suffering of others. Blames the Democratic Party for everything that is wrong. He has divided this country further than it has been in centuries. He has done nothing to unite us and keep us as a strong America.

As always, liberals get everything wrong and backwards. The last several years have absolutely shown that the left is all about hate, fear and dividing the country. Trump Derangement Syndrome is all about anger and hate of anyone who dared not vote for sHillary.

What will go down in the real history books (not the "rewritten" books cooked up by liberals) is how psychotic and out of control the left is and how there is literally no depth to what they will stoop to try and get their way.
