Surely you know that hateful epithets are used freely on both sides?

Some Trump supporters are demonstrably racists. Some are not. And some more liberal people are racists too, unfortunately. No group has a monopoly on these feelings. Of course being racist is wrong and destructive.

And some of Trump's supporters do seem to be Fascists. I mean we've all seen the videos.

And we've all seen the videos of Antifa running amuck. Both of these are wildly extreme. Most Americans fall somewhere in the middle. But you always have extremes. The lack of opportunity for people to better themselves, endemic low wages, lack of opportunity, all exacerbate extreme beliefs.

We have become an oligarch, with the elite, or upper classes, feeding themselves at the expense of the middle class and lower classes. The shrinking of the middle class, the great stabilizer in a society, is evidence of that. More income is owned by fewer and fewer people.

Since some of you jump to wild conclusions, I want to make sure you understand I am not a socialist. I believe in regulated capitalism. But we have extreme political beliefs because of the way our society is today.

Double standards apply here, conservative attacked Obama for his entire term mostly B.S issues.

No different than the Left's so called "Resistance" towards Trump... Regardless if he's right or wrong... Am I making that up?

The Left, in general, needs to get off of their high horse and put America and the Amican people first again with realistic and workable ideals.

Seriously, both the Left and Right are divided now with little to no chance of ever really meeting in the center again.... And this problem was created by both the Democrats and Republicans.

Resist unconstitutional and abhorrent behavior and words....
i'm 100% for it and it's not a bad thing.

You seem to forget that McConnell said it all out loud. NOTHING gets done by Congress while a black man is in Office. Now that they have an Authoritarian Leader, they are STILL doing nothing (The Senate), because they just want the cover of "executive orders".

How can you claim the Right has our interests in mind when they go a decade or more without doing anything - AND, what they do isn't for America - tax cuts from deficits, wars, security state, the wrong health care moves, etc.????

It doesn't make any sense.

Reality check: Democrats put a black man and his family in the White House.

The next election is around the corner. We'll see if you are right or wrong. Then you can make arrangements.
