Trump invokes KKK slogan 'love it or leave it' at North Carolina rally

Trump invokes KKK slogan 'love it or leave it' at North Carolina rally | SBS News

Trump invokes slogan used regularly by local SC KKK division in campaign rally

"At a rally in North Carolina, US President Donald Trump doubled down on his attacks against four Democratic congresswomen and appeared to invoke a slogan used by white nationalists telling them to 'love it or leave it'."

“If they don’t love it, tell them to leave it" - that was US President Donald Trump’s message about four Democratic congresswomen at a rally in North Carolina, where supporters called for one of four female politicians - who was born overseas - to be “sent back”.

“Let ’em leave,” Mr Trump said of the four women. “They’re always telling us how to run it, how to do this, how to do that. You know what? If they don’t love it, tell ’em to leave it.”

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I find it hard to believe that his handlers weren't aware of this reference in this specific area of the country—especially in regards to the topic at hand.

The question is, what level of racial rhetoric does Trump have to use before his supporters find it abhorrent enough to call him out on it? My guess is there is no bottom, no mark to hit on that.

Love it or leave it is a KKK Slogan? :lol:

It is simply a different wording of probably an age old feeling that we use even today in sports. If you don't want to be a team player and try your hardest then get off the team... little did I know that we were KKK.
 
Doesn't matter. When Trump calls for violence and it happens you deplorables won't care. Especially if the violence is directed at brown people..

Nite

Lie against Trump number 10,005.
 
I think Trumpers need some of their own medicine.

Well, they are all literally Satan, so perhaps a fire & brimstone latte?

With a Geritol chaser, natch.

:yes:
 
Trump is emboldening psychopaths and giving the green light to this violence.

Trump invented violence.

We never had it before him, and when Marianne Williamson is president, it will stop.

:2party:
 
The phrase makes me think about the Tom Cruise movie, "Born on the 4th of July". That's where I first heard the phrasing.

I lived it. That time frame, the Vietnam era is when I first heard the phrase.
 
I guess we will never know, as trump will never do that.

Well, he did want to lock Hillary up...

Maybe he meant in a Swedish jail?

Lutefisk!

:eek:
 
Surprised this isn't the subject of the thread.

I'm not American but do I see an American President riling a crowd into chanting "send her back" to an American citizen for exercising her 1st Amendment rights. Am I mistaken but wasn't part of his swearing in a commitment to upholding the values of the US Constitution or something like that?

Well, politicians ARE scumbags - I don't think that's in dispute.
 
Trump insults and calls people names EVERY SINGLE DAY.. As does his supporters.. There's not a day goes by that people HERE and on Fox don't call Dems and Libs traitors, Commies, American hating terrorists.. And yep, I know PLENTY of hard working Libs too.. actually more than Cons. Anyway you elected Trump because he's a straight shooter. You cheer when he name calls, you love it.

You're a deplorable, accept the name and move on.. Because I don't agree with Trump I'm called a 'radical liberal who hates America'(even though I was a Republican for most of my life) by you deplorables.. And even though I was drafted way back when,now, again, I'm being told to 'love america or leave it'.. It's like the 60's all over again. With you guys and Trump it's 100% your way or the highway.

If you're going to dish it out, grow a pair and learn to take it.

Name any insult and personal attack not leveled at Trump and Republicans by Democratic Party officials, Democrats on this forum, the MSM and the press - owned by the corporate super rich?

Like spoiled tantrum throwing little brats and punks, many Democrats can't handle 1/10th of what they dish out in accusations and insults.

What is most interesting about Trump in terms of the perpetual hysteria by many Democrats about Trump isn't about what he does or doesn't do as president, but what he says. I don't care what politicians say for the most part as they ALL lie. I care about what they do and do not do. Nothing else matters in terms of reality.

There is no reason to believe ANY promise of ANY Democrat running for president because until now NONE of them ever actually proposed what they now promise to try to do, offering no reason why they never tried before. It's all just deliberate crafted talking point lies.
 
In the 80's and early 90's, Nazi Skin violence was rampant. I cant imagine how much worse it would have been if Trump had been president, there to give them a larger voice.

Imagine if Manson were president - THAT would be really scary! :shock:

Or that thing with all the mouths from Alien! :eek:

I need a safe space just thinking about it...

:shrug:

The right has killed people, but even that was OK because there were 'good people on both sides'. Good Nazis? My God!

Anyway the right has always been violent. Now with Trump's ok they will be more violent. When they do don't expect the other side to sit by and let those 'good' Nazis run people over and kill them.
 
Yes, that is racist and offensive. You can dance and deflect all you want, but I grew up during a time when "Go back to where you came from" was spewed by violent nazi skinheads as they were terrorizing and assaulting, jews, east indians blacks, anyone non-white. Those that are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it.

I just worry what will happen if Trump is bitten by a radioactive neo-Nazi.

Then things will REALLY get bad.

Literally been a patriotic slogan since the Vietnam War, but okay, whatever floats your boats. Y'all seem to be determined to help Trump win with all this crying wolf nonsense.
 
We have Trump as president due to the actions, decisions and choices made by both major political parties back in 2016. Trump could have been easily avoided if the Democrats hadn't nominate someone as disliked by America as a whole as Trump was. 25% of all Americans didn't like or didn't want neither Trump nor Clinton to become the next president. This included 54% of all independents.

One in Four Americans Dislike Both Presidential Candidates

The only ones who wanted Trump were his avid supporters, the only ones who wanted Clinton were her avid supporters. Not the rest of America. We have Trump because he was able to win the independent vote. That's not surprising since Hillary was viewed favorably by only 27% of all independents, unfavorably by 70%. Trump wasn't liked much better, 40% of independents like him, 57% didn't. But the difference was enough to put Trump into the Oval office. Questions 10 and 11.

https://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_uploads/document/l37rosbwjp/econTabReport_lv.pdf

One can only hope that the Democrats learned the valuable lesson from 2016 that candidates matter. If they didn't and throw up another candidate as disliked by independents as Hillary was, another 2016 is certainly possible in 2020. This is proof that actions, decisions and choices has consequences. We're living with the consequences of both major parties choices, decisions and actions from 2016.

Way too sane.

Only Kamala Harris can save the Democrats & the country.

She's totes cuddly.

:mrgreen:
 
Personal anecdote that's in the playbook of just about every single Neo Nazi, and white supremacist that has brutalized, maimed and murdered jews, blacks, east indians and Asians in the past 40 + years in the name of White Supremacy.

And these neo-Nazis are only outnumbered by about a million to one.

I think it's time to worry.

Bigly.

:shock:

Most ignorant comment I've heard in a very long time. Only a radical liberal would make such a claim. America, Love It or Leave It. I sure hope the left doesn't ever regain control of the government because the country will surely go to ruin. It's inevitable since the left all seems to hate the USA.
 
A handful is more than 100 hundred?

People that don't even live in the city of St Louis Park, MN?

How about the chanting? You like to chant? I bet you do.

Before the election on the day the "Just grab 'em" audio/video came out. My co-workers we're bitching about it. Not that their candidate said those awful things but that it came out and the media and liberals were going to win. They like you are apologists for evil... that makes you evil and you know it.

You and the other 'millions' are scum. Dirty, Vile, Sleaze. You've turned your back on this country, you've turned your back on the constitution, you've turned your back on every soldier who died for you and you've turned your back on your sisters, mothers, wives and daughters.

And worst of all you've turned your back on your GOD.

Scummy scum!

Dirty dirty dirty!

Vile to the max!

Sleazier than the sleaziest sleaze!

Send them back! Send them back! Send them back!

you’re either a troll or some willfully ignorant 20 or 30 something with not enough life experience to realize that those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Take your snarky snide comments elsewhere. They don’t belong in a serious discussion.

I don't know which Democratic candidate at this point in time can attract the independent voter. Way too early. I do know the ball is in the Democrat's court. Their choice. With the right candidate the Democrats can win in a landslide. With the wrong one, another 2016 is a real possibility for 2020. I do think a fresh young face has the better chance than a tired out old one, ala Hillary. If that is Harris, who knows?

So many of the Democratic presidential hopefuls are unknown outside of Sanders, Warren and Biden. Especially to independents. Questions 23A through 23AA will give you the favorable/unfavorable ratings. I pay attention to the very favorable and the very unfavorable. The somewhats are wishy washy and can change their view on a certain candidate in a heartbeat.

Debunked, and grossly taken out of context.

"There were 'good people on both sides'" in reference to one group of people who were taking to take down civil war statues and the other group that wanted to keep the civil war statues. Go find a word by word transcript.

Anyway the right has always been violent. Now with Trump's ok they will be more violent. When they do don't expect the other side to sit by and let those 'good' Nazis run people over and kill them.

The left has always been violent as well.

What incitement from Trump can you quote? I mean real incitement, and not just political rhetoric, hyperbole or exaggeration, the same thing most every politician traffics in on a daily basis.

Compare that to the true incitement to public confrontation and harassment from Waters and the like.

Compare that to the public statements of antisemitism and now a antisemitic legislative proposal from the squad, and the Dem's silence about it.
 
To make things worse, I hear that after the rally he appeared to eat a food favored by white nationalists... the "hamburger" - no doubt because of its Nazi origins.

I think Harris is another Hillary type candidate, comes off as fake and not likable enough to get elected.

Honestly, unless the economy crashes and/or Obama runs, I can't see Trump being unseated.
