this. i didnt feel that this had to be said. the biggest detriment to his campaign is only himself literally everything the media has said or covered about him has been through him saying the most ignorant crap. if you cant see the problem with what he has been saying you are either very daft or willfully ignorant to what he says
I mean, I listed some of the biggest controversial topics that the media has bludgeoned to death in my long post (Muslim ban, anti-women, anti-Mexican) and explained why I don't think those are inherently bigoted.
it truly is ironic how people say Hillary is a liar yet show Trump support
How did I white wash them? I spelled out exactly what he's been catching heat for.
Give me just 1 genuinely racist quote from Donald Trump.
Yikes. Well, aside from the death threat:
How did I white wash them? I spelled out exactly what he's been catching heat for.
- He made a crude joke about a woman on her period and called another woman a bimbo, therefore he must be a sexist pig. I don't subscribe to that theory. I'm sure he says "mean" **** about males all the time. Assuming he's just an ******* in general to both men & women alike, how is he a sexist?
- He said he wanted to ban all Muslims, then changed to say people from terror zones. ISIS is actively infiltrating refugee populations. I think it makes perfect sense to halt / slow immigration from these well-known terror zones until our vetting process has improved significantly. Tell me how it's morally wrong to anticipate our biggest enemy's moves and adjust our national security strategies and policies accordingly?
- He SAID he's going to build a wall. As I said, I myself doubt that it'll actually happen, but if it were to happen, I wouldn't be morally opposed. I highly doubt his motivation for putting up a wall is because he personally hates Mexican people.
Honestly, all I'm hearing are complaints over words (with no action) vs. actions that put our country at risk.
I don't care what Trump / Clinton supporters say, I focus on listening to the 1 man and the 1 woman I have to choose between, that's it. So yes, I still trust the arrogant, unpolished Donald Trump to do a better job with this country than the unscrupulous Hillary Clinton. She's just a power hungry *****.
Yikes. Well, aside from the death threat:
The irony is that Trump, according to you, would fall under the racist who has the nutsack who owns it vs. Hillary Clinton hiding her racism behind veils.
The difference is Hillary successfully fooled you into thinking otherwise.
Cheers to having a friendly debate!
How do you figure?
To me, it boils down to this:
Trump:
- "He's an evil bigot who hates minorities!"
- I genuinely do not believe he is this evil, hateful, racist, bigoted monster that seemingly everyone (including the media) is portraying him as. When I think of wealthy, successful, powerful businessmen, I think of people who are too mentally preoccupied with many other, more important things than harboring and actively embracing racial hatred (like running multi-billion dollar enterprises). Think of the true racists you see on social media on a daily basis (e.g. white people who write "n-er" without hesitation, black people who write "white devil" without hesitation, etc.) -- you look at their profiles and you'll find that they're typically uneducated or under-educated, uncultured filth who have no lives and have nothing to lose and have nothing better to do than to spew ignorant hatred on the Internet. The kind of people who loathe others because they're miserable themselves. I see racism as being for low-impact, small-minded people. I don't think those descriptors apply to Donald Trump; it's beneath him to be truly racist.
- He's clearly not as much of a groomed politician / public speaker as Hillary Clinton, but I can at least respect the authenticity of him speaking freely (however "offensive" it may be to others -- not me, for the record) over Hillary's carefully calculated speeches that are inauthentic by definition and purposely crafted to appease the masses -- those aren't even her words, man. (Cue the Melania Trump jokes -- but she's not running for President, she's just a supermodel who married rich so I don't have high expectations from her to begin with.)
- "But... but... he wants to ban all Muslims from entering the country!"
- ISIS have repeatedly said that they're actively infiltrating refugee populations in an attempt to migrate to Western countries under the radar and to carry out attacks from within, once they've made it. Is it totally irrational to think we need to cease (or at least slow down) the flow of migrants from the terror zones until we can sufficiently improve our vetting process? I don't think so.
- "He hates women!"
- Because he made a joke about a woman on her period? Because he called a woman a bimbo? Hardly the worst things you could to do / say to women. Have you ever done those things? I certainly have, and it's not because I hate women.
- "He wants to build a wall to keep Mexicans out!"
- Look, I'm a first generation American born to legal Mexican immigrants and I have no problem with the idea of a wall. I'll believe it when I see it, but I don't have a moral issue with it. But forget me, I'm as American / "white-washed" as they come. How about my Mexican-born and raised father who immigrated here in the 80's? He doesn't mind it either. I asked him about the topic once. "Hey dad, you're Mexican, born and raised in Mexico and immigrated here a long time ago. How do you feel about the whole 'illegal immigration' thing?" He told me, "They need to go to the back of the line and do it the right way like I had to." Now, is he a Tío Tomás? No, he just respects and adheres to the law of the country he himself chose to immigrate to and expects everyone else (including his Mexican brethren) to do the same. Is that so crazy?
Hillary:
I can only imagine what's going on in her head: "This'll get the black people on my side!" To artificially embrace a culture that she has probably never lived or loved for the sake of projecting an image of "I understand you and your people"; to reduce the culture to rap songs and fad dances for the sake of "vote for me" is the true racism. You don't see this kind of fake *** reverse c-nery on Trump's side.
I've been watching election coverage quite intently for the past several months on both CNN & Fox News. I consider myself to be a fairly rational person. I can't get behind a smiling liar.
