    This is the Stormfront home page, right?

    But there's no proof he's racist.

    So true. And liberals take the bait every time. He knows exactly what their reaction is going to be. Situation like this, just ignore it. But they won't.

    Who cares. It's a distraction. And you're making it work.

    What investment? You realize that, in virtually all markets in this country, Internet access is, at best, a duopoly? Verizon and Comcast aren't investing in anything except for marketing. You -- and all other net neutrality skeptics -- are theorizing as if it would be an efficient market with perfect competition. It isn't anything close to that. Spend some time reading about Comcast's franchise agreements with cities.

    So why spend so much time wailing about what everybody already knows? Trump's an asshole. He's ignorant. He attracts a lot of assholes and ignorant followers, along with 100 percent of the racists in this country. Everybody who is ever going to agree with you already does. Anybody who still disagrees with you isn't going to suddenly see Jesus in this latest bit of pandering. So what's the point? Trump pulls this shit because he knows people will take the bait. You're helping him by getting worked up over it.

    Daemon, I think you are falling for what Bloomberg columnist Jonathan Bernstein calls the "clever fallacy," that is, attributing deep motives to words and deeds by Trump that are simply the product of impulse, especially his habit of parroting the last person he talked to on any subject, since his own lack of knowledge makes all information seem new to him. Ideas come and go in his head with dizzying speed. I am reluctant to attribute strategic thinking to a man who has TWICE confessed to crimes in national TV interviews.

    There's nothing "deep" about his motives. He knows the issues that resonate with his base. He knows the issues that piss liberals off and make them act more like the people that his base hates. Are you disputing either of those? Because that was the extent of my point.
