That they think outside the mainstream, I give them a thumbs-up for that.

Right on this very forum, in fact. More like "creative" rather than "qualified".

The popular mainstream media notion that it fed to the masses is that it is the Republican party that has veered to the extreme right. If anything, the Republican party has drifted slightly left and is by far the more centrist party. Meanwhile, the reasonably liberal/centrist Democratic party of 20 oor 25 years ago represented by a liberal, yet moderate but reasonable Bill Clinton is long gone. It's been replaced by a far left, socialist tribal party that rewards and punishes people according to their racial, lifestyle victim status.

Today's Democratic party is obsessed with identity politics. Solidly conservative people and Republicans were asked to be tolerant of gays, different races, abortion rights, etc which was reasonable and they have more or less done so recognizing that gay marriage, reasonable abortion rights, and racial equality should be tolerated and especially in the case of racial equality should be encouraged. The problem is that you can't give the Left an inch. No longer is tolerating for example gay marriage and abortion enough for the Left, they demand open celebration and endorsement of these things or they will destroy you. Offer to serve gay customers any cake in your store but refuse to specifically participate and endorse a gay marriage on the grounds that it goes against your conscience and everything your religion stands for? Not acceptable!!! Instead of going to about a dozen different bakeries or florists in the area who will participate they instead choose to vindictively shut a business down by suing the owner out of existence. Tolerate abortion? Fine, conservatives will do that. Not good enough for the Left. If you don't support and openly celebrate a women's right to abort a baby days before it is due to protect a women's "mental health" you hate women according to the Left. Don't support Medicare for all or a Green New Deal that together will cost at least $40 TRILLION dollars over the next 10 years and will destroy the America economy while simultaneously exploding an already out of control national debt? You're racist and hate poor people and want to destroy the earth and see people die. Want to enhance border security and slow down the unchecked flow of illegal immigrants and lethal drugs with a one time expenditure of a few billion dollars to build a wall which less than 10 years and was widely supported by several Democratic politicians? You a hateful xenophobic bigot who hates brown people.

In short, the Democrat party is the one that has gone rapidly to the extreme, not the Republican party. The demonization of straight, white males that dare disagree with how to solve the aforementioned problems is just further illustration of that fact.

This is it right here.

We shall see on the trends. LOTS of the college age kids I know are leftish. Not hard left but definitely left ish.
What this link --> https://tmsnrt.rs/2I1YafW

It's another reuters link. This is what it redirects to -> Democrats losing millennial voters

Did you think rs was the domain for Russia? How very paranoid of you. Even if it is, so what, but apparently it's the internet domain for Serbia + Kosovo -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.rs

For Russia it would be .ru

Or did you think it was RT news which is .rt?

Either way, where is a crazy emoji when I need it.

Are you kidding??? Haven't you paid attention for the last decade? Every time one opens a browser or a newspaper, there is some story or op-ed about how "troubling and problematic" we of the Caucasian persuasion are.

I didn't vote for Trump, and I won't vote for the likes of him. But Democrats as a party and liberals as a culture are doing everything in their power to tell me I'm not welcome in their little multi-cultural club.

Don't believe me?

Do a Google News Search on "white male".

Then do a Google News Search on "black male"... or literally any other demographic.

Note the difference in the results that come up.

Sounds like the "...U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant and self-identified white nationalist..." who was arrested after federal investigators uncovered a cache of weapons and ammunition in his Maryland home that authorities say he stockpiled to launch a widespread domestic terrorist attack targeting politicians and journalists..." https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/...s-13631802.php

His fear of 'liberals' being anit-white sound a lot like many of the posters here. You all wonder why I call you out. LOL

No we don't wonder at all. In this case you want to do what ?
Treat everyone by the worst example you can find and stereotype.
As you can see one criminal of any color doesn't represent everyone that looks like them.

All you have is a want-a-be. Call this out :

A suspect who was killed by police after snipers shot 12 Dallas officers, five fatally, "wanted to kill white people, especially white officers," police chief David Brown said.

Young white men are getting the message. Hate directed at them is getting their attention and respond by leaving the democrat party looking for those who want to represent them.

White men': the most dehumanising insult of our times

Young white men are turning their backs on the Democrats because they have been hijacked by far left anti white regressives. These young white men are woke.

Hi, many of you drone on about how 'liberals' are anti-white. This guy and other white nationalists use the same language. It is what it is...

Does the person who wanted to kill white people use the same language as anyone you know or come across. Such a tragedy. BTW, just because there are terrorists with different intents does not make your terrorists OK. You understand this, yes?
