Trump has done more for blacks, even before he was President, than most so called black leaders. Don't believe me? Youtube has videos from events decades ago where Trump was honored at dinners and meetings by these same black leaders. It must have hurt him when they turned on him when he campaigned for president since anyone would have assumed those same folks would be for him.

Read Autobiography of Malcolm X. It's a wonderful book about a remarkable man, not just a racist rant.

It wouldn't surprise me if the Leftist Deep State hired the guys who killed JFK, RFK, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King. The new evil bunch is probably plotting to get Trump the same way. Always pray for his protection!

I hope they both outlive Trump.

Just because...

The nastiness I have seen with the whole "let's stick it to the country" attitude around appointing justices is revolting.

I want a balanced court. We have one right now, no matter what far-left or far-right cuckoos try to say.

I do not think we would have one if Trump paid back all of his "favors" he needs to pay back, and we saw how that panned out after Nixon...

We eventually made our way back to...

A balanced court.

So in a debate of ideas, a majority of people will side with moderate to conservative governance. Rather than accepting such, liberals tend to be malcontents by their very nature. Thus even if they get what they want to today, they will want something more/different tomorrow.
When they cannot achieve their goals, they must resort to undermining those with whom they disagree. Thus if they can demonize them or find ways to suppress opposing points of view, their view has a chance to win.
^^^^^This is actually the correct answer.

Leftism (Socialism, Marxism, fascism, Maoism, progressivism, etc.) does not work and it cannot be sustained in a free speech environment. Anyplace where democracy still exists has not aquiesed fully to leftist dominance. Europe right now is pushing back very strongly, to the point where the continuation of the EU is at risk.

The left has to dominate totally (totalitarianism) in order to get their way. Which at the end of the cycle looks nothing like what they had originally promsed the people. Quite the contrary, in fact. But they get to be in charge of what by then is a real life horror show, as we are currently witnessing in Venezuela and North Korea.

People who have any confidence and sense of identity separate from the state or the personalities in control of the state will tend to resist this sort of terror regime. Intolerance of dissent is the only way they can overcome this sort of noncompliance.

There is nothing benevolent or good about the agenda of the Democrat left. If you for some reason believe there is, you are deceived.

Trump has shown he can be moderate by trying to work a deal that can satisfy both sides. Right now it's the conservative GOP that refuses to work together on the immigration bill. That proves Trump is tolerant of opposing views. Business minded people like Trump solves problems and not ideology driven.
Come now... even if you hate Clinton, you cannot honestly believe that Trump is more tolerant because she made ONE damned comment about a basket of deplorables that she even qualified by noting that it was not ALL of Trump's supporters.

Geez... are people still gnashing their teeth over that mess?

Meanwhile, he's been in office for over a year and cannot stop bashing anyone and everyone who disagrees with him, no matter whether it affects their careers or their very lives in a negative way and he is ACTUALLY the president and not just a candidate.

So you mean that Trump's and his supporters constant chanting that Hillary be locked up was being tolerant?

How are Republicans forcing their views down the throats of Dems and harassing them into silence like Dems do every day!?
That's pretty hard to understand but I think that you just had a Hillary Clinton " voter supporter " ran over and killed by a car driven by a trump supporter in Charlottesville Virginia.

Some smart guy said it years ago... you reap what you sow.
This would be comical if it were not so false.

Remember Calling out Bush saying he hates white people? There are many more things he’s stated that proves hes racist look it up.
He said Bush hated white people?

I agree with you that hip-hop is mostly dead, but Kanye does have talent.

She is less tolerant.

A grown up woman would have made no excuses for that remark and apologized by now. Directly in the heart of deplorables country, in small gatherings, one after another.

How one loses shows their true colors, loud and clear.

McCain in November 2009 gave a superb concession speech which fully proclaimed his opponent as the duly recognized next USA President. HRC ran to her hotel room, based on news reports, full of Chardonnay.

Never gave an eloquent speech applauding her opponent's victory.

Never apologized for the deplorables comment.
