Racists ALWAYS hate being called out on it.
Agree or disagree 2 scoops ?
OH wait, you're of the opinion that in no way is Trump racist and that he wanted to firmly disassociate himself from racists before the election ? He felt that if it was going to take getting the racist vote to win, he didn't want to be President.
Right ?

Huh? Wouldn't a totally innocent of racism person also ALWAYS hate to be called a racist? Which means everybody ALWAYS hate being called a racist whether they deserve it or not.

Lol, do you not read, listen to, or watch the news, ever?
Please try a web search for "all trump voters are racist" and look how many results show up, especially in the mainstream media.
I've never heard anyone generalize that all Trump voters are racist.

I would think that most truly racist people would LOVE it being pointed out. Like they are righteous and proud about it. Its absolute irony that you've alleged a great number of white nationalists, supremecists, etc, yet you also allege that racists keep their views under wraps and hate it being exposes.
Its almost as if the left purposely boxes things in so that lies can continue in perpetuity with no way to ever confirm or deny.

I did that. Only one that made that claim, some guest on a CNN show said that one time.
For some reason Patrick, you're very sensitive on this, but I have to tell you it doesn't happen hardly ever. I stand by my claim that pretty much nobody ever says that. What happens is that people say racism was a big factor, or a deciding factor, which is obvious to neutral and honest folks.
This was at the top on the search you asked me to do. Yes, I use google.
https://psmag.com/news/research-finds-that-racism-sexism-and-status-fears-drove-trump-voters
IT makes no such generalized claim.
DASKAA says
Fair enough. I'll also grant you that if a Trump supporter is not racist all or only is slightly above average in their racism as a white person, it's quite understandable to resent feeling that they are being grouped with outright racist assholes who did in fact vote for Trump becasue of the racist factor.
But those that deny the existence of those racists that they don't want to be grouped with, end up sounding like they might be one of them.
Better to admit there are a lot of racists that back Trump and to disassociate yourself from them.
If you can't admit they are there, what the hell am I supposed to conclude ?

The comments from marcus are all over the map, and lack consistency or even self-awareness, calling everyone racist and/or "dimbulbs" merely to troll people. The comments have little or nothing to do with evidence nor reason. Instead, the obsession with "racism" reflects chronic, generalized, and overly emotional anger, e.g. about having failed at trading where "dimbulbs" (i.e., people who disagreed with marcus) did better.
I saw an interesting statistic recently, that exit surveys showed evangelical voters split sharply by color in 2016. A Muslim author presented that as evidence of racism, trying to accuse the white people of being racist. The opposite explanation seems more accurate. If the Democratic nominee had campaigned on paying to import thousands of white Nazis, on behalf of campaign backers including the manufacturers of Zyklon B, she would have lost in a landslide. Instead, she campaigned on paying to import thousands of Muslims, on behalf of backers including KSA. The founding Nazis agreed with the leading Muslims of their time that their doctrines were very similar, and 100k European Muslims joined the Nazi SS for that reason, but that history is now widely forgotten. Today, racists see only that most Nazis are white and most Muslims are brown. (Sinéad O'Connor is going to have to work on her tan so she can avoid seeing "white people" in the mirror.) So, the brown Evangelicals voted to import brown Nazis, while opposing white Nazis. That's racist.

I would like that.
Would that mean no more posts about black crime statistics or about how diversity is actually a bad thing ?
Remember the arguments about whether Zimmerman murdered Trayvon Martin or not ? It was interesting the way that opinions fell on that in this forum. To me race shouldn't have been a factor in that discussion, it was cut and dried. Zimmerman caused a young man's death, for no good reason. Period. The details of what happened were mostly based on Zimmerman's story. But what we know is that if Zimmerman had followed instructions Martin would be alive.
Had it been a cop stopping him it probably wouldn't have happened. Although we have a problem with loose trigger fingers on some cowardly cops in this country too.

I'll remind you that part of your position on that matter was that the judgement in that case would have set "precedent".
I accurately, factually, informed you how precedent was created. The Trayvon Martin case had literally ZERO chance to set precedent. Nonetheless you pushed forward, head down.
I highly suspect you will not respond to the posting by Curious. I would if someone disparaged me in that manner. Of course, its not disparaging if its factually true.

Trayvon Martin was a burglar whom South Florida Authorities ignored because of their Obama-backed policy of downgrading felonies to misdemeanors or nothing.
To stop the "School to Prison" pipeline, simply by not enforcing the law.
Just after a family was robbed of women's gold Jewelry, Trayvon shows up with multiple hundred dollar bills on Social Media. Later, her jewelry is found in his school locker, but it goes to Lost and Found instead of the Evidence Locker, on purpose. The School LEOs are separate from the general LEOs, and Miami Dade is the only Florida county without an elected Sheriff.
Trayvon was also taller than Zimmerman, almost 6 feet tall, though the Media only showed pictures from years ago and selected the ones to make him look as non-threatening as possible.

What did Trump talk about in the midterms? I heard very little about helping the displaced workers in America. It was mostly a message of fear. And bragging about how wonderful he was.
As to automation, pretty much anyone that has run a business will tell you that if a machine can take the place of or increase the productivity of a worker and the financials work they will choose the machine. This is just good business practice.
Machines have better work ethics and don't require health insurance or other benefits.Those manufacturing jobs will not come back in anyway near the quantity, they left. Watch the Fox com plant in Wisconsin. They were doomed regardless, just happened sooner with off shoring, NAFTA. The jobs that do return, many will require skill sets the displaced workers don't have. Like coal miners they are fucked and most know it, like the article said a hand granade, shrapnel everywhere, colateral damage is a desirable result for them.

Thank you. Let's spread this message wide and far in the Rustbelt, in the Inner Cities, and many other places that have fallen victim to Democratic Economic Ideas, which include maintaining one-way Free Trade. So they can know which Party has irredeemably written them off and has no solutions.
Of course, this is false because even the modest changes Trump has wrought have brought in hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs that Obama claimed would never ever return.
Apparently Democrats have no solution to replace the manufacturing jobs that were the cornerstone to the American dream, since they fight for more H1Bs to insure that tech jobs go to tech coolies so Cook doesn't have to part with the mountain of cash they're sitting on.. No solution that doesn't involve massive Socialist redistribution, but that's not practical since the Dems depend on Big Tech and Big Finance staying in the US; they won't pay the huge tax increases required. They will simply move to HK/Toronto/London/Frankfurt/Singapore and use one-sided Free Trade to maintain their presence in the USA.
Democrats hate America. Not one Holiday, be it Columbus Day, Thanskgiving, or the 4th of July, they don't criticize as being innately Evil White Colonialism. What their SJW doesn't hate for being Toxic Male Whiteness, the Neoliberal Pelosi/Feinstein branch hatess for being Middle America, so their slogan is "How much faster can we offshore businesses?" and "Does it piss off Peoria."

We don't know that. All we know for sure is that Zimmerman came up on Martin in the dark of night, and according to Zimmerman demanded that he wait for the police. We don't know what happened and have absolutely zero reason to believe Zimmerman's story. He was instructed to wait and not to pursue. We know with 100% certainty that if it was murder, Zimmerman would have a story like this. IT's second degree murder at least. If his story is true, that's his problem for coming up on Martin in the first place armed and ready to kill.
This is the guy whose story you believe. I'm sure race has nothing to do with you finding this psycho asshole credible. Something like 10 public recorded incidents since the Martin killing showing how unhinged he is.

I didn't read his nonsense very closely, but I saw he said something like I'm just upset becasue I failed at trading. Wtf ?

His posts about me are almost 100% lies. I'm not going to go back and look at it. I saw several lies and the sad comment about my being upset becasue I failed at trading.

Honestly, I just feel sorry for the guy at this point. I hope he gets much needed help.

Please look up the words "lie" and "true". As you admit, what I said was true. If you can cite examples of lies, or even where you have "corrected" me about anything, please post. I can easily cite examples of your many emotional explosions insulting many PatNet users, including name-calling and profanity. You deleted a whole thread where I proved you wrong about a rule of math, which you claim (incredibly) to teach. It appears that you call a "lie" any true fact that you dislike, but that isn't what "lie" means.
For examples of actual lies, look at your own baseless accusations against me. You fail even at pretending to ignore me. Most of my comments have nothing to do with you, but on any occasion when I bother to point out one or more of your many errors, your cognitive dissonance impels you to try to 'retaliate' by fabricating false accusations, aka lies.

For examples of actual lies, look at your own baseless accusations against me. You fail even at pretending to ignore me. Most of my comments have nothing to do with you, but on any occasion when I bother to point out one or more of your many errors, your cognitive dissonance impels you to try to 'retaliate' by fabricating false accusations, aka lies.

What reason do we have to believe Martin, who previously burgled a house? Either that, or some other burglar stored the jewelry he stole in Martin's High School Locker which he somehow could access, and that Martin's pictures of himself with several hundred dollar bills are from him, uh, I have no idea.
if he stole from one house, how do we know he wasn't casing another house?
We don't know what happened and have absolutely zero reason to believe Zimmerman's story

Most people I know who have a brain and 1. don't work for government 2. isn't a foreigner 3. isn't in HUD housing, food stamps, etc. voted for Trump.
The poor blacks know they are competing with foreigners for 1 govt. services 2. jobs
The "working class" people know they pay taxes to put the illegals' kids in school. This just happened in my small town; they raised property taxes to "pay for schools". I just drove by the local school and the kids in the field running around were largely children of illegals. Yeah, I can tell by how they look and that's not being "racist".
The self-employed wanted to repeal Obamacare mostly. Self-employed people are probably the most aware of the tax code and how it affects them also. The self-employed knew Hillary was going to keep fucking them over.
Many tech people were "outsourced" in the USA by H1-B visas from India, etc. Disney World and Compaq are examples I know of. Many professional people are concerned with an influx of foreign workers.
Simply put; importing workers impoverishes most Americans and lowers our standard of living and wages.
More astute voters would realize that importing foreigners and giving them access to free health care will further bankrupt the USA.

Left has been really trying to hide economic issues, and promoting all attention to "save the gays, trannies and feminists". Party was taken over by stupid. Of course they lost. Especially when people come with economic woes, and liberals ignore these.
NPR went out of their way to make sure all conversation was about increasing taxes to save the golden pension system for government, fuck the private sector employees who can barely afford taxes.

Correct. The list of things the US can't produce at all or in quantities is very limited.
The only big ticket item necessary for daily life we have to import is Coffee, since Hawaii couldn't begin to supply the daily need. And maybe Bananas.
From Iron to Oil, from Coal to Cars, from Soybeans to Superconductors, from Borax to Beef, the US is or has been and could easilly be, self-sufficient.
While other nations are patently SCREWED if they are cut off from trade with the US or if the world trading system we set up but are not abandoning (irrespective of whomever is in the WH...Trump is just accelerating the process and undiplomatically shitting openly over the rest of the world about it while doing so).

Democratic party voices summarized: "Regulate, regulate, restrict, restrict, LGBT rights, regulate, regulate, tax, tax, tax, tax, government unions are holy, tax, tax, tax, if you disagree with us you are a bigot racist bad person, disagreement is a thought crime".
That's a good reason why they lost.

California grows wine too, even sparkling wine with grapes from Champagne. Chandon sparkling wine is made the French way by Moët & Chandon, using the same grapes. California is a truly amazing place, contrary to what some comments on PatNet might have you believe.
Or simply just do without, like French wine.

German Beer and French Wine should be banned from importation until the agree to accept our Poultry. This has gone on since the 50s, long before Factory Farm Chicken, Europeans were tariffing the hell out of our agra products. It's time to just ban their crap, only pain will ensure compliance with Free Trade.

Right. And it was easy for them since the last name wouldn't give it away. Also blacks are more oppressed on the leftist plantation than Hispanics. They also omitted a lengthy part of convo with the operator so that it sounded like "he's black, they are up to no good" or something like that when in reality the description was completely disassociated from the "up to no good" comment as it happened much earlier in the convo, but by editing the tape and cutting out the stuff in the middle they concocted their racially motivated crime. That was sort of a turning point for the eventually failed last ditch efforts to keep honesty in the mainstream media, and fake news became completely acceptable.

Liberals don't send jobs to China, and Liberals have been the ones warning about the consequences to American workers and wages when plants are literally dismantled and shipped to China machines and all. Capitalists, virtually all of them GOP voters and donors, are the ones shipping the jobs and pocketing the proceeds. This is about as antipodal to socialism as you can get. Tragically funny to watch Trump voters blame "the socialist left" for the actions of capitalism, while aiding and abetting the capitalist oligarchs like good useful idiots.
As for immigration, leaving the system broken as-is benefits oligarchs as well. Liberals are less about "bring in economic immigrants" than they are about "Don't lay the blame at the feet of the people who want the jobs while ignoring the traitorous Americans offering them under the table." Notice the way they showboat these stings of individual 7-11 stores that use a lot of resources and manpower to bust 1-2 illegals per location while ignoring jobsites like construction and meat packing where hundreds could be caught per location.
Tell us, what is the point of the gratuitous "that liberals won't admit" if not to assist nonliberals in not admitting their own gross misunderstanding of the issues and resulting complicity in the problems mentioned?
So the real cause, which liberals won't admit, is simply that millions of jobs have been exported to China, and millions of illegals have been imported from Mexico.

Instead, they just call suffering people "racist" over and over and over. Not a way to win friends and influence people who still (for now) have the right to vote.
