    you have to be either trolling, lying or showing your ignorance with this post.

    i know that you will dismiss any factual evidence or even quotes from trump himself as "fake news" and "leftist spin", but ill go ahead and answer your question. unlike os trig im not going to turn into a giant snowflake when people ask me to defend my positions and back them up with facts.

    here is a 2:20 video of nothing but trump advocating for and calling for violence...
    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donald-trump-incitement-violence/

    1) he thought it was great when a republican politician, greg gianforte body slammed a reporter for asking a question.
    2) he said he would pay the legal fees of any supporter who beat up a protestor (he never did, btw).
    3) he repeatedly told supporters at his rallies to beat up protestors.
    4) he attacks the media so much at his rallies that they have been physically assualted multiple times and have had to have police escorts back to their vehicles.
    5) repeatedly calling the free press the enemy of the american people, even after terrorists get caught plotting to murder journalists who are critical of trump. at some point one of you lunatics is going to actually kill one of them and trump is going to bear some responsibility for that.

    Well, I couldn't disagree more. I'll repeat: if everyone else is playing the identity group politics game, why can't whites? Frankly, they're stupid if they don't.

    That said, white nationalism will never work very well. Because, how do you define white? From English to Irish to Polish to Russian to German-Americans, these groups are going to get together? No, not really. Are the Hells Angels going to get together with the whites in the suburbs? With the white Yuppies? Again, no, not really.

    "the power structure (composed of whites) oppressing and discriminating against an ethnic group....." Someone is living in the 19th century.

    Anyone that wants to develop their skills, fit in, and become part of the team, can become part of the middle class, even the upper class. I don't even think it's useful to talk about power structures. That kind of phraseology comes from leftist fantasy.

    They can have all the white pride groups they want. They are allowed and they should be allowed. I support freedom of speech. But they are wrong for doing it and it is a hateful act.

    Other ethnic groups that aren't white have overcome oppression and prejudice from those in power to make the contributions they have made. That is something of which to be proud.

    Wow. A budget surplus? Where are you getting this info from?

    From Google:

    "According to a January 2017 study, “California state and local governments owe $1.3 trillion as of June 30, 2015.” The study was based on “a review of federal, state and local financial disclosures.” In other words, that $1.3 trillion in debt is the amount to which California governments admit."

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomas...ons-california-is-unsustainable/#4bd700d63a23

    Everything I hear is that California's state government, and many of its local governments, are heavily in debt.

    That said, I'm not sure why whether California being in debt (or not) is part of this convo. I believe we were talking about the Cali govt vs Trump on Immigration and the high-speed rail thing.

    Eh, no. We don't live in a world of slave owners and plantations any more. And we are 60+ years past the end of Jim Crow.

    Of course the woman takes a swipe at a guy and then claims victimhood. That's the gynocracy we live in.

    There are plenty of sources showing a surplus.
    https://www.wsj.com/articles/jerry-...llion-budget-surplus-in-california-1515624022
    https://www.politifact.com/californ...alifornia-have-budget-surplus-nearly-30-bill/
    https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/California-has-extraordinary-budget-13392995.php
    https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/27/cal...pite-largest-surplus-in-more-than-decade.html
    https://timesofsandiego.com/politic...udget-surplus-will-greet-incoming-gov-newsom/
    http://www.capradio.org/articles/2019/01/16/about-that-giant-california-budget-surplus/

    The actual amount of the surplus differs depending on what all is included in the budget. But having a budget surplus isn't really in doubt.

    You should look into some actual studies showing discrimination in hiring, promotions, the justice system, education, voter suppression, etc.

    So whites are not capable of fine behavior? That sounds pretty racist.

    Whites are absolutely capable of fine behavior. Whites marching at a white nationalist march while people are chanting songs against Jewish people are not exhibiting fine behavior.

    “Defying him.” Seriously? So states are open to retaliation from the president if they don’t bow down and agree with them on policy?

    That’s an insane way to look at things.
