Abraham Lincoln was very intolerant of slavery. Trump is intolerant of those that hate America and Americans such as "The Squad."

According to what? What what I have observed many poorer church goers donate their time to serve at food pantries etc rather than the money they do not have, while those with money prefer to donate their money. This makes sense, and works well. Also, the catholic church, which is considered liberal as whole, is quite involved in helping the community.

I am still figuring things out in terms of where I stand politically and I think both parties say things I agree with and things I disagree with.

I think I am generally a bit more in line with Democrats than Republicans. However, I think my teachers that were vocal on politics were Democrats and they were not that tolerant of other viewpoints on politics. That is just my own personal experience.

No, that's an opinion. Maybe you can consult your third grade teacher to teach you the difference since you apparently don't know it. Fun fact: The Democrats label everyone a racist who is on the opposing side. The more effective the person (and we know Trump is effective. That IS a fact), the more they call them a racist. It used to work until they started doing it all the time. Now people are seeing through it. Even Democrats.

But the most fun is seeing Democrat Congress members calling the old guards racist and using their own strategy against them. Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden? That's called karma.

Only LOONS still believe that, but good luck with that HOAX.

That's because racist doesn't carry the weight that it used to. That used to have the desired effect by shutting down the opponent. Now people are on to the strategy so they had to try something else.

Not sure about the "inbred" that would be pure speculation. But there is no question that the other adjectives apply to a certain proportion of Trump's hard core far Right radical base. That extremist subsection is heavily represented here on C-D POC.

Most Trump supporters are nothing like the people that spread their poison here day after day, or the people that attend Trump rallies. The vast majority would be repulsed by the stuff that gets posted here.
