Very sardonic, but did not discuss anything that the really extremist ones are capable of doing, like the ones who stormed the capitol on 1/6/22 armed and intent on hanging Mike Pence, and killing Nancy Pelosi, threatening the lives of Republicans and Democrats alike if the election result was not changed.Yeah! The really GOOD Trump cultists! Hooray!
It was an insult, and it was also canned?I....... did not say anything . The writer of the article did.
Agree or disagree with it.
Oh, well.
Crime happens a whole lot more than usual under this Democrat misgovernment!! I just saw Lieberman of Connecticut on Bloomberg talking about that, and he said he thinks the crime problem is going to be the biggest issue in the Midterms, and I agree. I know I talk a lot against the tranny problem, but that's just because it's so darn nuts, but the crime issue is huge, IMO. And it connects directly with all the terrible black riots of a couple years ago. Whole states are sinking beneath this crime wave.Crime happens at any time. But make it about the other party, and that the other party could not possibly be upset as well? And the leaders on both parties trying to do something about it?
This is all nonsense.Very sardonic, but did not discuss anything that the really extremist ones are capable of doing, like the ones who stormed the capitol on 1/6/22 armed and intent on hanging Mike Pence, and killing Nancy Pelosi, threatening the lives of Republicans and Democrats alike if the election result was not changed.
Ok. Some Republicans did not storm the Capitol on 1/6/22 and threaten the lives of all for about 6 hours.This is all nonsense.
Thanx! I knew you'd come around. I love smarties; I can just SMELL smart.Ok. Some Republicans did not storm the Capitol on 1/6/22 and threaten the lives of all for about 6 hours.
It was all nonsense.
You smell them, but you can't discuss with them sometimes. It does get quite confusing.Thanx! I knew you'd come around. I love smarties; I can just SMELL smart.
You mean until it became obvious .You are psychologically challenged.
You are repeating Republican talking points which only started being believed especially in the past 7 years.

Many people know we do not control the government anymore. But since there are endless checks sent out rocking the boat has a penalty coming with it. Anyway, if Repub voters acted like Prog voters, there would be many government buildings in ashes. Those rednecks racing fans even have NASCAR woke. The 86 year old woman in the wheel chair entering the Capitol Building with her AR 15 and AK 47 shooting at everything moving that day was a true hero to the insurrectionists on Jan. 6. The media jumped on it of course. Brick Schumer was shot several times shouting "Is that all you got"! The squad disarmed, subdued and beat the shit out several of the invaders laughing at them. Of course, there are more stories to be told. The memorial that will be built will be of true legendary patriotic pride.Very sardonic, but did not discuss anything that the really extremist ones are capable of doing, like the ones who stormed the capitol on 1/6/22 armed and intent on hanging Mike Pence, and killing Nancy Pelosi, threatening the lives of Republicans and Democrats alike if the election result was not changed.

Thank you for distinguishing why you voted for Trump.
The Trump supporters the article, and other articles refer to, are the ones who believe everything he seems to say, go to his rallies, make threats to government officials, and seem to be wanting to use violence to get their way.
This is for everyone to read, if they care to do so.
SCOTUS is being threatened, as it should not, by extremist Democrats. It is beyond disgusting that it did happen.
Asians in general were being attacked because of Trump calling the Covid 19, the China virus, which made all Asians a target for lunatics, not necessarily from one party or the other. They continue to be attacked and accused of being responsible for the virus.
Extreme attacks on Jews grew after Trump took over office.

The Corona virus started in China, but American Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and others have been the butt of violence against them because Trump started calling it the China Virus.Yet Joe Biden's administration is refusing to enforce the law that such threats are illegal, ie the threatening protests.
So, it's might be the extremists doing the threatening, but they are empowered by the support from the dem "mainstream".
That's nonsense on a number of levels. My importantly becuase you are giving more weight to Trump's words than to the reality of the situation, ie that China is responsible.
Trump has been very pro-Jewish in many ways. The left are the ones that are going anti-semite. Your words make no sense.

Bless you, sixties fan, bless you![ Knowing how to rally people and voters and supporters to one's side is not the same as eventually governing well and fairly. Governing depends on following the Constitution and the Rule of Law. How much did Trump follow the Constitution and the Rule of Law, how much of either did he attempt to change for his own interests and not those of the country? How much do his supporters know about the Constitution and Rule of Law he so often attempted to change? ]
Behind his unforeseen success in the 2016 election was a masterful use of group psychology principles
- Donald Trump's rallies enacted how Trump and his followers would like the country to be. They were, in essence, identity festivals.
- Trump succeeded by providing a categorical grid—a clear definition of groups and intergroup relations—that allowed many Americans to make sense of their lived experiences.
- Within this framework, he established himself as a prototypical American and a voice for people who otherwise felt voiceless.
- His rivals did not deploy the skills of identity leadership to present an inclusive narrative of “us.” In that context, Trump had a relatively free run.
It is easy and common to dismiss those whose political positions we disagree with as fools or knaves—or, more precisely, as fools led by knaves. Indeed, the inability of even the most experienced pundits to grasp the reality of Donald Trump's political ascendency in the 2016 presidential race parallels an unprecedented assault on the candidate and his supporters, which went so far as to question their very grip on reality. So it was that when a Suffolk University/USA Today poll asked 1,000 people in September 2015 to describe Trump in their own terms, the most popular response was “idiot/jerk/stupid/dumb,” followed by “arrogant” and “crazy/nuts,” and then “buffoon/clown/comical/joke.” Similarly, Trump's followers were dismissed in some media accounts as idiots and bigots. Consider this March 2016 headline from a commentary in Salon: “Hideous, Disgusting Racists: Let's Call Donald Trump and His Supporters Exactly What They Are.”
Such charges remind us of Theodore Abel's fascinating 1938 text Why Hitler Came into Power, but first let us be absolutely explicit: We are not comparing Trump, his supporters or their arguments to the Nazis. Instead our goal is to expose some problems in the ways that commentators analyze and explain behaviors of which we disapprove. In 1934 Abel traveled to Germany and ran an essay competition, offering a prize for autobiographies of Nazi Party members. He received around 600 responses, from which he was able to glean why so many Germans supported Adolf Hitler. Certainly many essays expressed a fair degree of anti-Semitism and some a virulent hatred of Jews. In this sense, party members were indeed racists or, at the very least, did not object to the party's well-known anti-Semitic position. But this is very different from saying that they joined and remained in the party primarily or even partially because they were racists. Abel discovered that many other motives were involved, among them a sense of the decline of Germany, a desire to rediscover past greatness, a fear of social disorder and the longing for a strong leader.
We would argue that the same is true of those who supported Trump. Some, undoubtedly, were white supremacists. All were prepared to live with his racist statements about Muslims, Mexicans and others. But are racism, bigotry and bias the main reasons people supported Trump? Certainly not. We argue instead that we need to analyze and understand the way he appealed to people and why he elicited their support.
Moreover, we need to respect those we study if we want to understand their worldview, their preferences and their decisions.
To understand how Trump appealed to voters, we start by looking at what went on inside a Trump event. For this, we are indebted to a particularly insightful analysis by journalist Gwynn Guilford, who, acting as an ethnographer, participated in Trump rallies across the state of Ohio in March 2016. We then analyze why Trump appealed to his audience, drawing on what we have referred to as the new psychology of leadership. Here we suggest that Trump's skills as a collective sense maker—someone who shaped and responded to the perspective of his audience—were very much the secret of his success.

Trump has said things about Jews which only come out of those who are antisemites.
------Trump uses anti-Semitic tropes to again criticize Jewish Americans
Former President Donald Trump, in a newly released interview, claimed that Jewish Americans "either don't like Israel or don't care about Israel," while also suggesting that evangelical Christians "love Israel more than the Jews in this country."
Back in February 2017, Donald Trump was asked what the government planned to do about an uptick in anti-Semitism, to which he characteristically responded, “I am the least anti-Semitic person that you’ve ever seen in your entire life.” That statement, like the ones he’s previously made about being “the least racist person there is anywhere in the world,” was, and is, obviously not true at all. ....
