Sure, I don't disagree. It was more of a general comment.

I'm just saying you're all wasting your time trying to assign "blame" for who are the people supporting the "alt-right" since there is no breakdown.

I wouldn't say it's a crazy leap to assume most (all?) of these people are Republicans, but we don't know that...so it's a useless discussion.

So, you did not read my posts.....

But with your above comment "I wouldn't say it's a crazy leap to assume most (all?) of these people are Republicans" is a complete lie and you 99% contradicted yourself.

I could quite honestly not care less what views another person holds, so I guess I would follow under the category of "it's okay to hold those views." That doesn't mean I agree with them, or that I want to see them spread. It simply means that I don't think that we should hold one's thoughts to be illegal.

I've known racists who, when the chips were down, would give their last dollar to someone whose race they didn't like. On the other hand, I've known "non-racists" who were the biggest jerks I've ever met in my life and wouldn't cross the street to help an old lady change a tire.

It's not a crazy leap, but I wouldn't make it. Since there is no data. A statement without data is worth nothing.

Oh, and I read your original comment. Calling out "the left". Thanks for checking, though?

Perfect....you read nothing I wrote....congrats on showing you have no clue...

Why would I expect anything other than a leftist.....

Please provide what "my original comment" was by providing the post number.

This way we can all see who is telling the truth....

Maybe some of these lefties on here can show me in those graphs where it differentiates between dems and repubs....

As you may or may not have noticed, the thread title states "Americans support" not the right supports...

Again.....a lot of reading comprehension problems, on the left....
Were you not calling out "the left"?


Your post just above this one is unnecessarily combative. I'm agreeing with your premise. It feels like you like to argue for the sake of arguing.

Sorry--but are you trying to argue that that figure is meaningful?

So 90% do not support them. That's a lot more people than do.

Are you actually posting this alt-right support stuff from Italy, where you said you would be this week?

Again I know my assumption is bad but I don't think that is a crazy leap just as saying most BPP members are either democrats or have their own fringe party, same with ANTIFA and SJWs. I don't have any evidence but it is pretty obvious to most people. You keep pointing out a large amount of the people were democrats as if that proves anything, I mean I shouldn't assume without facts but I personally think 90% of the people who supported neo-nazism and 100% of the people who considered themselves Alt-Right are Republicans and Independents.

That's really strange that Trumps main man in the campaign and his closest advisor for the past 7 months describes his own publication as being of this so-called "desperate" bent.
Booo facts....better to wallow in a nice broth of ignorance and confirmation bias with a hearty helping of Dunning Kruger effect to top it all off instead

That is correct. Trump used the Progressives' favorite weapon against them.
