    On the day after Charlottesville this is the battle you choose? LOL. One can only wonder how low you will sink to support your leader. Because clearly a random message board poster's poor choices deserve more anger from you than your leader's support for the Nazis and KKK . LOL...

    Yesterday wasn't the day for it -- and we need to distinguish between folks simply counter-protesting and the antifa folks -- but the antifa crowd is just as repugnant, and perhaps more prone to violence against property and people, than the White supremacist nerds marching through Charlottesville yesterday.

    These are people who've decided that certain word = violence, and should be met with violence. They resort to violence to prevent speakers as bland as Ben Shapiro.

    They should be condemned. Just not yesterday.

    Are you sure? Do you realize that a large portion of Trump's base traditionally DID vote Democrat? And quite recently. Same damn blue collar counties that overwhelmingly voted for Barack Obama in 08 and 12, in fact. States like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan are not traditional Republican strongholds, instead they are ones that broke that way in 2016 because of Trump.

    Yet you're sure all those folks would remain steadfastly loyal to the Republican candidate if the Republicans were to turn on Trump and boot him out in a perceived mutiny?

    Check Facebook and a twitter for FoxNews, Hannity and other right wing websites and media, there is support for trump's position, that it's a Soros Put up job, that they got what was coming and if obama can support BLM, then trump can support White Rights. Clearly a minority, hundreds or thousands of responses out of 100 million users. But vocal and they are getting media coverage

    Republicans don't do nuance well

    She's earned them all.

    If she's concerned about female dignity, she needs to publicly repudiate, disavow and denounce everything about her pervert pig father, the walking personification of virulent misogyny, and call for his immediate removal from office and criminal prosecution on a wide variety of charges.

    That appears unlikely.

    No female who aligns with Fucko can expect or demand to be treated with sexual dignity: their hero has made clear his intentions on that front, so they get to enjoy the same treatment themselves.

    See, this is just you trying to translate Trump's Nazi sympathizing lines into a more palatable format.

    The anti-fa of today are the anarchists of yesterday. Troublemakers looking to provoke violence - police, neo-nazis whomever.

    Agree on Trump overplaying his hand. The "establishment" GOP is looking at primary challenges from Trumpists. And Trump has run off and "dis-enthused" voters less likely to support him. If you are a Republican but think the President is doing a bad job, who do you rally around? Jeff Flake? Ben Sasse? McConnell and Ryan shouldn't count on Trump having their back, let alone help them keep their majorities.

    "Antifa are just as worrisome as fascists" is Nazi apologism, plain and simple

    Nope, research shows this isn't so. In those states except for Ohio, Romney got a higher percentage of the vote than Trump did. Third party voters and lower turnout in Democratic areas are what gave Trump the win. As I said, Trump's base might not show up for the midterms (might not if he's still President) but they live to hate. They'll find the Democratic nominee in 2020 as hateable as Clinton, never fear.
