How do you stop radicalism? Whether its Islamic or right-winger or whomever - extremism is increasing without a doubt. Seems to me that at least in the case of Islamic extremism, any provocation or perceived insult to their religion is taken to such an extreme that results in violence. While freedom of expression is critically important, you have to wonder how sane it is to inflame radicals. In regards to Islamic extremism, I do think there needs to be more of an active partnership with Muslim communities and especially religious leaders to understand how to teach tolerance and acceptance as a counterweight to the propaganda they get exposed on on the internet. Ironically, you see Trump use similar tactics to radicalize his supporters.
I'm more concerned about the Congress than I am about the presidency anymore. And I'm not with the endless regime changing wars. But that's where we are at. In pelosi I trust.
And - 4 years later, I was ****ING spot on. Usually you find a few things that ended up not coming to pass, but everything I said in this thread still holds up to today. No one with true integrity would vote for Trump. DD
Give it a rest, dude. You and others rant about how hateful the right is and this kind of **** spews out of your mouth.
