    It's very difficult asking sheep to think outside party lines.

    These are the same people who refused to believe the world wasn't flat.

    That their wives constantly fantasize about other men.

    That homosexuality isn't a choice.

    That Matt Schwab was never going to take the Texans anywhere.

    Thankfully, our shepherd is here.

    When the Trump storm broke this summer, it touched off smaller tempests that stirred up American politics in ways that were easy to miss from afar. At the time, I happened to be reporting on extremist white-rights groups, and observed at first hand their reactions to his candidacy. Trump was advancing a dire portrait of immigration that partly overlapped with their own. On June 28th, twelve days after Trump’s announcement, the Daily Stormer, America’s most popular neo-Nazi news site, endorsed him for President: “Trump is willing to say what most Americans think: it’s time to deport these people.” The Daily Stormer urged white men to “vote for the first time in our lives for the one man who actually represents our interests.”

    Ever since the Tea Party’s peak, in 2010, and its fade, citizens on the American far right—Patriot militias, border vigilantes, white supremacists—have searched for a standard-bearer, and now they’d found him. In the past, “white nationalists,” as they call themselves, had described Trump as a “Jew-lover,” but the new tone of his campaign was a revelation. Richard Spencer is a self-described “identitarian” who lives in Whitefish, Montana, and promotes “white racial consciousness.” At thirty-six, Spencer is trim and preppy, with degrees from the University of Virginia and the University of Chicago. He is the president and director of the National Policy Institute, a think tank, co-founded by William Regnery, a member of the conservative publishing family, that is “dedicated to the heritage, identity, and future of European people in the United States and around the world.” The Southern Poverty Law Center calls Spencer “a suit-and-tie version of the white supremacists of old.” Spencer told me that he had expected the Presidential campaign to be an “amusing freak show,” but that Trump was “refreshing.” He went on, “Trump, on a gut level, kind of senses that this is about demographics, ultimately. We’re moving into a new America.” He said, “I don’t think Trump is a white nationalist,” but he did believe that Trump reflected “an unconscious vision that white people have—that their grandchildren might be a hated minority in their own country. I think that scares us. They probably aren’t able to articulate it. I think it’s there. I think that, to a great degree, explains the Trump phenomenon. I think he is the one person who can tap into it.”

    Yeah, this is the "growing threat of white nationalism" that I was referring to. There is some serious bone-chilling stuff in that article. It is a must read.

    I really need to ramp up my efforts to buy guns and teach others with an anti-fascist mindset to be ready to use them. Time may come when people's protection units capable of fighting fascism are a life or death necessity here, just like they are currently in Syria.

    Another hate group aligning themselves with Trump and the GOP but Remii still thinks Trump will win the black vote, lol. We need to bet on this.

    http://www.occupydemocrats.com/popular-neo-nazi-white-supremacy-group-endorses-trump-for-president/

    "To no one’s surprise, America’s most popular neo-Nazi website, the Daily Stormer, has officially announced its support for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election. Predictably, the endorsement praised the numerous racist statements in Trump’s announcement video, especially his “willingness to call [Mexicans] out as criminal rapists, murderers, and drug dealers.”

    As a proud lifelong liberal Democrat, I sincerely hope Trump is the GOP candidate for president. I enjoy watching his numbers rise even as the party machine now tries to stop him.

    He is the GOP/Tea Party/FOX created equivalent of Skynet.

    Only problem with Trump is not his prejudices or (racism) but his real lack of knowledge of being a politician much less "the president". He uses stuff he knows from his business dealings and TV infomercials which is quite cutting it short in political knowledge. Who calls wound military personnel "wounded warriors" other than the TV campaign project for donations? Just very unprofessional in his lack of knowledge. But I might add he will be the least persuaded with campaign funding of any kind since he does have his own money. No special interest favors or will he bite on some?

    Anybody still not persuaded that the GOP is the party for racists?

    BTW not saying all GOP'ers are racists, just that racists are a key constituency of the GOP that they cannot win elections without so that they always have to play to them-- the Southern strategy. They usually do it a bit more in dog whistle style. e.g Willie Horton, welfare queens, voter id laws, English only etc.

    If Trump takes the racists to a third party bid, the GOP will lose all 50 states.
    I guess it won't matter as they have their racialized gerrymandered congressional districts to withdraw to.

    I still haven't been persuaded why the racist limousine liberals should get the majority of the black vote. Because as it stands now, black folks are better off staying at home than voting for the democratic party.

    I never said and or endorsed black folks should vote for Trump... Not only are many liberals racist but they like to lie as well.

    Your obsession with telling black people what they should be doing and acting like you know what's best for them is disturbing. You're basically suggesting that black people are idiots who don't know what's best for them.

    With every post you endorse and defend republicans and conservatives on the race issue despite the mountain of evidence posted by numerous people, its a clear reason why black people dont vote republican generally. Lets not pretend you werent doing something you clearly were and still are trying to do. So you are going to pretend you never implied that blacks are better off voting republican?

    You dudes haven't proven shyt... I actually gave names of racist individuals in power who never switched to the republican party and stayed with the democratic party. All you did was throw out some peasant groups who donated chump change to the republican party.

    The only thing black folks have to show for voting for the democratic party is broken families and planned parenthood murder clinics. But you're so blinded with racism that you don't care and or can't see that the democratic party is doing nothing but bending their black voters over and smacking that azz and pulling their hair.

    Now, besides your racist victim mentality _ do you have any legitimate reasons on why black folks should vote for the democratic party...?

    He doesn't want those votes. I wouldn't want them. Those people are pathetic insular individuals with nothing but fear and hatred in their minds.

    They are actually REALLY easy to pick up. You just have to be white or an Uncle Tom and just repeatedly state derogatory things and "I hate political correctness" and you got em. Seriously, what else do you have to do? Please... tell me.

    Question. How many of those black women who performed abortions through PP were financially and emotionally ready to raise a child?

    Another limousine liberal flunky who can't give a reason why black folks should support the democratic party... But you probably haven't gave a reason because you like seeing those black folks in that situation.


    Question: What has the democratic party done to prevent women from finding themselves in that situation...?
