The majority of the country don't care about the wall. It's only his supporters, who are in the minority. So good luck getting our tax dollars to pay for it. Trump is in a real predicament. Does he listen to Rush, Hannity and Coulter or does he listen to the majority of our country which he is supposed to represent

It's not just online, though. Hate crimes are skyrocketing. The news is filled with endless divisive commentary. Families and friends are severing ties over political views. Sure, it's a lot harder to tell to someone's face the things people say online, but it's really not much better out there in the real world these days. People are out of their minds.

You didn't address what I'm saying. It doesn't matter what you think their motivation was, or if someone was behind it. You're saying that they will bring America to its knees. How? You see an America that is weak. You see an America that's unable to solve any of these problems. You see an America that is full of cowards. Maybe you're right. In which case, I'm sure not missing anything not being there.

I keep getting accused of this, but when asked what makes my position hypocritical, you all run away. Stand by what you say or don't say it.

So your answer is "the wall". You can dispense with all the irrelevant discourse next time by simply answering the question that was asked.

You mean: the one that illegals and illegal immigrant sympathizers don't want.

Either way, the wall is getting built which partially fills Trump's campaign promise

We spend over 100 billion on illegal immigrants and send billions more to Latin countries. The wall is a bargain and funds should be redistributed.

The wall wil not be built with our tax dollars. Trump’s campaign promise was that Mexico would pay. Republicans didn’t give him the money when they controlled all branches. And democrats won’t taking over won’t either
