This is a very tired narrative.

Partisans from each side believe they are superior. How is calling someone a baby killer, a freak, or posting memes stating that when one grows up and leans how life works, they become a Republican any different?

This forum is about 90% Trump, FOX news, and Breitbart propaganda. It's become a fact free zone for the most part.

I challenge you to take a step back and read this forum and count the insults lobbied by Trump supporters. Hell, your title is meant to be an insult by calling any non-Trump supporter a leftist. That's the new talking point...

You are welcome to add any facts you find. I encourage you to do so.

Nope. Not true. I'm glad you think you can read minds though. Mind reading has become a staple of the left's bigotry. "Dog whistle racism ", etc...

The MSM/left is calling anyone who disagrees "alt-right", which they conflate with "white nationalist" and therefore anyone who disagrees is called a racist. Remember when they called Bernie supporters racist? Perhaps the left is just better at this bigotry game. Regardless of the reason, their bigoted voices get FAR more reach and widespread acceptance. This is a huge problem for our country.

Our discourse has gone terribly bigoted, and is coming overwhelmingly from the left. Have you watched any late night shows, or awards ceremonies lately? Did you pay attention to the mountain of propaganda regarding the parkland shooting? The left refuses to admit that wrongthinkers even mean well.

The one about people here saying they have a source yet they don't provide it, if one has a source provide it. Otherwise shut the fuck up about the bull shit source.

Just trolling. Again. Got it.

Thanks for proving my point. The left is out of facts to debate.

Fivelbsbrowntrout says

people who make statement here without a link

I dont need CNN to make an observation about society. I am sorry that you feel the need to regurgitate a talking head rather than just have your own opinion.

A statement like "she was arrested for trespassing" doesnt require a link, especially since it was accepted...but you know that. You just trolling.

No, that's clearly not true. Lots of people disagree without being called racist. I haven't seen McCain called a racist. Or Flake. Or Gowdy. Or the vast majority of Republicans who disagree with some of Trump's proposals.

I don't remember when any of Bernie's supporters were called racist, no.

The real problem is the continual chip on the shoulder of Trump supporters who continue to feel persecuted even after they won. But yes, Trump definitely appealed to the racist portion of the population. That can hardly be denied. That's a part of his coalition. Along with voters who just wanted something different and couldn't stomach voting for Clinton. And those who agreed with many of the policies he stumped on--cracking down on illegal immigration, protectionist trade policies, repealing ACA.

I watch late night sometimes--not sure what you mean? They made fun of Obama. They made fun of W. And now they make fun of Trump. You think they're not going to use all the material he gives them?? Are you kidding me? Stormy Daniels practically writes the jokes for them. But to what propaganda do you refer? The only misinformation I see is all coming from the NRA and Trump himself.

Interesting to note that these articles coincided with some of team Hillary's fake bernie outings, as exposed in wikileaks. In short: Team Hillary (i.e. team MSM) tried to tarnish Bernie supporters in a similar way as Trump supporters. Both were based on lies and the worst kind of bigoted propaganda.

How? Trump is saying he wants MAGA for all americans. He has never put forth one group identity over another. He has certainly never said that groups of Americans are deplorable. ALL OF THAT BIGOTRY is coming from the left today. I would suggest this as evidence that the left is appealing to the racist portion of the population, who are projecting their own sins onto Trump supporters.

Peeples too stoopid to rule themselves. Only a US exploitative corporatocracy is a viable solution. We must exploit the lessers before China does. Soon we will legalize fatty hunting.

Hail to the New Republic! More to us!

Oh, to the New Order! Hail, Republic!

Hail to the New Republic! More to the strong!

Of course the left is heavily reliant on personal attacks. Identity politics at its CORE is a demonization game.

"All trump supporters are racist nazis"

"Anyone who doesn't agree with me is a racist!"

"Black people should get affirmative action spots at top universities despite lower scores because whites are privileged!"

All personal attacks, and getting people to hate each other based on mistruths and lies.

How do you define “the left”?

Who are your talking about, specifically?

Or is the term intentionally vague, in order to cover a broad range of the boogeyman enemy you’re programmed to hate?

Trump says many things besides MAGA for all Americans.

He has absolutely put one group identity over another. He just does it subtlety enough that folks like you can deny it. That's why it's called a dog whistle. Hell, his staff flashes white power symbols in photo ops. Just like how his supporters on here have adopted the new way to call African Americans "thugs". How many videos of minorities fighting have been posted on here vs. videos of white folks? Why do you suppose that is?

I'd suggest Trump supporters are just trying to muddy the water to confuse folks and hide the truth.

Why do non leftists use different terms to describe their enemies?

I never use "liberal" because very few Democrats are true "liberals" in the John Locke sense.

None are true liberals. Being a true liberal today is labelled as white supremacy by the left.

Why is it difficult for leftists to make points w/o attacking others?

Because their arguments fail all logical tests.

Fivelbsbrowntrout says

Why didn't those sources state the fact that the charges had been dropped?

The article I read didnt mention that part. The article I read gave few relevant facts (which is why i didnt post it) besides her trespassing charge, which the OP didnt mention at all.

Fivelbsbrowntrout says

Why was I made fun of for posting an old article that proved the charges were dropped?

Because you wrote "Two weeks ago..." about a 2 year old article. I'm trying to get the facts straight. Stick w the discussion. Oh, and stop trolling

CBOEtrader says

Accusing others of being child killers for disagreeing about gun rights -OR- suggesting disagreement can only stem from ignorance or racism or both. This form of bigotry is so deeply rooted into the psyche of the left that it becomes almost impossible to discuss a political topic w/o letting these direct personal attacks slip.

It's funny because all the attacks we see from the right is all ad hominem: see the attacks on Clinton "globalist queen", Warren "Pocahontas" think she has indian blood, etc...
Any discussion on global warming soon turn into attacks on Al Gore.
Or general attacks like people on the left are all crazy, mentally ill, perverts, etc....

We rarely see any discussions of actual issues.

Ok, I just used the ignore button for the the new 5lb troll. Does this mean I wont see anything this troll posts? (I hope)

First time for everything I guess.

Fivelbsbrowntrout says

How about Leftist?

Left/Leftist, same shit stain. It's the word "liberal" where I make a distinction.

Heraclitusstudent says

Show me Republican politicians who call the left some form of deplorable.

Thats the most easily notable distinction. - OR - Show me where the right is accusing the left of having "blood on their hands" for disagreeing about gun control. -OR- show me business leaders on the right who wont hire democratic voters. -OR- Wont do business w democratic voters. -OR show me where the right is oppressing the careers of those on the left?

All of this bigotry is coming from the left. This is almost identical to the type of bigotry witnessed in 1930's germany. Replace white male conservative w Jew and you wouldnt be able to tell the difference between Nazi's and today's left.

SHOW ME anywhere, one single data point where the right is oppressing the left in the same way.

HEYYOU says

Don't they realize if there is no gun control,more on the right can be slaughtered in large numbers.

It is voting blocks on the left that kill themselves en masse, not the right.

HEYYOU says

The Right to keep & bear,it's accoutrements & affects,trumps the lives of the right's loved ones & friends.

There is a direct correlation between legal gun ownership rates and lower murder rates (and lower violent crime rates in general). You should rethink your false premises.
