Here's a newsflash -- the Dems are just as responsible for our current state of affairs by doubling down on pointless identity politics, hateful rhetoric, and hopeless fake news. Such adherence ideological extremism will only serve to destroy the Democratic party before 2018.
If you're going to restate someone's argument, do it in a way that they would agree with.

1) As the other person mentioned, its a ridiculous exaggeration. You ignored the second half of my comment and went on a tangent like the other person did.
2) The Conservatives won through white identity politics, hateful rhetoric, and propaganda news produced by Bannon who now holds various key government positions. This is the pot calling the kettle black (at best).
3) The Conservatives already are launching attacks on the 1st amendment (and other portions of the Constitution) against legal residents of the US and its citizens. That is evil in its most pure form in America. It is also evil when Progressives do it. They just, frankly, do it differently and the problem here is you are clearly OK with one and not the other. I call either party attacking the Constitution evil.
I don't think that having the Republicans tell me to act more white and Christian, when I'm actually only sort of white and not Christian at all, is unifying. It feels a lot more like being singled out and attacked.
Same rubbish, slightly nicer packaging.
Which only exists because the left has been playing identity politics for so long and has lately been demonizing being white.
Trump started this with his racist birther lies, aimed at undermining a legitimate black president. He then made a series of racist attacks on other non-whites, and he also adopted an old racist slogan: America First. As a result, the KKK newspaper was almost the only newspaper to endorse Trump for President. (The other was owned by a large Republican backer.)
All of this is ultimately about white supremacists holding on to or regaining lost privileges and demonizing anybody who isn't white.
Your doing it right now, demonizing everyone that voted for trump as a white supremacist. Keep it up if you want but the more you do the more you'll ensure they'll never vote for the left again.
How is "America First" racist?
Didn't you look at the audiences (and flags) in Trump's rallies? Didn't you hear him attacking Mexicans as rapists, attacking an American judge for being of Mexican heritage, insulting a non-white Gold Star family, and on and on?
Trump has a long history of racism, dating back to being sued along with his father for not renting to non-whites. He has also boasted about his superior "German genes". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Yh0jAxOxGE

Also look up all the cartoons from Dr Seuss Went to War, like this one http://library.ucsd.edu/dc/object/bb4164680v/_2.jpg
And why is voting along racial lines only a problem when white's do it? Have you been calling out black people for always voting democrat?
He never said Mexicans were rapists. He said some illegal Mexicans were rapists. Which is provably true. It's not opinion. Its also true that 80% of women crossing the border get raped, so something bad is going on down there and we're enabling it.
For the Mexican judge, its standard to dismiss a judge for having a bias in the case. 100% normal. And given how the media construed Trumps statements on Mexicans, and how he wants to build a wall, and how the Mexican judge is a member of La Rasa, you don't think she might have a bias?
I could go on but I won't. I've lost all respect for the media and the left in general. They can call me racist, sexist, I don't care anymore, because I've seen the lies they repeat and the bullying tactics. If the left thinks they can get back their credibility next election, they will be in for a big surprise.
> They can call me racist, sexist, I don't care anymore, because I've seen the lies they repeat and the bullying tactics.
Trump is the biggest bully around, and the biggest liar by a very considerably distance. He always projects his own faults onto other people, which is a well-known ploy, in psychology. Rather than apologize for blatant lies, he attacks the honest press to try to discredit them. This is deliberately corrupting America, and Trumpery is deliberately corrupting the American population.
It is, frankly, the most despicable thing I've ever seen in recent US politics, and there's no honest way to deny it.
Trump is, as a matter of fact, a 3x-married serial adulterer, a sexual predator, a racist and a pathological liar. It's a huge stain on America's character that he was elected, and there have been an unprecedented number of protests against him both in the US and across the world.
The America First Committee literally didn't want to fight the Nazis, and claimed that doing so would be of no help to Jews.[1]
