The Houston Trump/Cruz MAGA Rally today was massive, it was great to see our local community come out to support the USA-ny1.jpg

Where is your proof this "caravan" actually exists and still exists when the cameras aren't rolling?

Its not plausible that 7000 people are marching 1,000 miles without organization pertaining to route, food, drinks, restroom facilities, etc. The march IS being supported by someone...you have ZERO proof its not the democrats - and I believe Trump is probably significantly more informed than you are on the issue.
What is the logic in Soros organizing a caravan just a few weeks before the midterms? If true, it would just rile up the right-wingers and cause them to vote in larger numbers. How does that benefit Soros and the Dems? It would actually make more sense for Trump to be organizing the caravan.

I have none & I was not supporting the theory that Soros funded it... - just like the "fact checkers" on GMA have no proof at all of anything.

I will say only that I don't believe the caravan is organic - its been organized by someone with deep pockets, whoever that someone is.

Also, you people are eaten up by hate and have gone all-in on these absurd conspiracy theory that the right is racist, old white folks, clinging to an America of the past. Its total crap - just like those who think everyone on the left is an idiot on welfare. Neither are even remotely close to true.

US Politics in a nutshell:

Liberal: “Lets raise taxes on the rich so everyone can have healthcare”

Rich Guys: “We don’t like taxes, take care of this”

Fox News Talking Heads: “Do you really want health care if blacks and immigrants get it to!”

Old Racist White Voters “Hell no we don’t!”

Trump: “Vote for me and Ill promise to save you from those evil immigrants (but actually my main acheivment is cutting taxes on corporations and the wealthy)”

Rich Guys: “Mission Accomplished!”

Old Racist White Voters: “Ive set up a Go Fund Me to help cover my medical expenses. Please send hopes and prayers.”

I’m confused as to why you say they went “out to support the USA” as if the democrats support some other country. It’s no surprise people can’t grt along politically when this all boils down to “we support our country and they don’t”.

Let me spell it out to you. White is just one color. There are plenty of people in this city and in this state and in the USA that are not white.

I'm sure lots of them don't see Trump as representing them (not because he is white) by what he does. A president should not divide the country and some of us feel that is exactly what he is doing. But, I believe that he and his supporters don't really care.

Mark, you will never admit it but you are so much like Trump in that you love to project your own shortcomings onto others.

2. Xenophobia

3. Use of propaganda. Have you noticed that the MAGA movement has essentially trademarked the U.S. flag? Display of a U.S. flag is almost code-word now for "I'm a MAGA supporter." Look at his tweets. Everyone that he opposes has a nickname (lyin' Ted, crooked Hillary, etc). It sticks with voters.
WTF are you talking about?

4. Use of fear-mongering and scare tactics.

5. Creeping authoritarianism. Anyone who disagrees with him is "treasonous" or against America.

I guess saying he's EXACTLY like Hitler is a huge overstatement. They definitely used a similar playbook on their road to power. They're marketing and branding geniuses. They want power however they can get it. They've no principles or belief systems. They'll say and do whatever will resonate with their fan base and support their ascent to power.

None of this really affects me in my little world. I get more side-eyed these days from certain white folks, but it doesn't really bother me. I'm just watching this **** show play out.
Certain white folks? Do you realize how bigoted you sound in your posts in this thread?

What was the logic in accusing a SCOTUS appointee of a crime without a credible accuser, evidence, time-frame, location, witnesses or clear understanding of what they claim took place?

The left is desperate, they want 24/7 media coverage of a few thousand dark skinned children crying at the US border right before the midterms whether it's complete bull**** or not.
