Re: Trump Adviser, Son Post Image of Trump's 'Deplorables' Featuring White Nationalis
I can believe that.
It all depends on which parts of the interwebs you reside.
No, the problem I have it that people are still using it the original way, all the time.
Now they too will be unfairly grouped, if enough stupids start thinking this.
I'm attributing parts that I experienced.
People I've heard, from both the horrible to the tame.
"Correcting the record" isn't necessarily apologizing.
I'm fully aware, that there are actual racists in alt right and now I'm fairly certain, that the "alt right" is going to be solely associated with racist views.
I'm not defending those.
I was defending a different set who identified or at least, used to identify with said group, who did not expose racist views.
You can criticize my methods, all you want.
I tapped what I thought was a common pulse of Trump supporters.
So far, I've been more right than wrong.
I could end up totally wrong, at the end of the day though.
You're forgetting the "stealth supporter" phenomenon.
Being a vocal Trump supporter, in some places, can be dangerous to ones career and/or image.
I don't have a particular view on the Putin/Trump thing, except that he wants to associate an image that is considered strong, that's speculation.
He was pigeon holing the judge.
So that if he did not get a favorable ruling, he could claim bias.
The only people who seem to care are people who weren't going to vote for him anyway.
I like how it is characterized as an attack, when it was a response to an attack.
Talk about distorted history.
Yes, for the publicity, he should of thanked them for their sons sacrifice and went on his day.
:shrug: alright. I'll put your experience against mine, which is that the same people who ((())) folks are the ones posting Pepe memes. :roll: check and match.
I can believe that.

Good on it. The meme then became a symbol for the Alt Right movement, making it a symbol for the Alt Right movement. The original posters all upset because they wanted it to remain simple smug polling don't get to declare it to be only as such, no matter how much they want it to be.

No, you are continuing to try to subsume the Alt Right into the broader portion of the populace that is Authoritarian/Nationalist

Then go bicker with someone who believes that all trump supporters, or half of Trump supporters, are Alt Right.
Define: Apologist.

:shrug: That may be your intention, but what you are de facto doing here is defending a subset of people who are actually racists because they believe and argue racist things. I have repeatedly pointed out that there is a distinction between the broader subset of Trump supporters > Trump supporters who are attracted to At Right themes of Authoritarianism and Nationalism > Actual Alt Right.
Which is why I linked the latter for you.

Ah. So your methodology is that you don't know how Nixon got elected, because you don't know anyone who voted for him.

Trump: 38.8% Favorable, 58.6% Unfavorable. For Obama in 2008, those numbers were reversed.
Trump excites a narrow demographic in his favor, and repels most others.

The Putin ties to Trump's campaign are real, and have already cost the job of one campaign manager. The Mexican Judge was self-destructive.

You don't attack Gold Star Families. The proper response is Bush's when dealing with Cindy Sheehan. It was stupid. It was also self-destructive.
