You're right. "Many" leaves a misleading impression.

A few people on here called Rand Paul a white nationalist. So when I see that, and I see the same crew examining hand positions, I can't help but wonder what other claims of racism are complete nonsense as well.
Just to pile on, nobody cares if white supremeicists/white nationalists are offended by trump's administration being populated by the same kind of people.

Get this straight nobody cares any more and people are done being blackmailed by seedy liars who pretend they voted for trump because meanies called them names.

Anyone who voted against their own interests because they felt like they were being called names by people who didn't support trump are such lost causes that it is literally not worth giving them any consideration. People are no longer going to be cowed by such nonsense.

To reiterate anyone who was offended and felt they were called names because they voted for trump (which is weird because why are they getting upset about trump voters being insulted and claiming that's why they voted for trump) have just proven they earned it in the first place.

After weirdly deflecting everything to obama and Hillary this is the most common move for post inauguration trump voters. It doesn't fly.

The guy you are so offended for being made fun of for hand signals has a long history with hate organizations. The guy is a card carrying racist yet you are offended because people are saying he might be throwing white nationalist/white racist hand signals. Go find a safe space.

Maybe there's a crackhead with less credibility, but no one knows that guy. Of all the people I know of he would be the least credible, and I'm sure that's true for a significant portion of the world population. Therefore he may be the least credible person in the world of 7 billion people by that metric

As someone who hates what Trump stands for, you aren't winning me over with this imaginary racism shtick. And I know you don't care about me, but if you aren't winning over someone who finds racism to be disgusting, you're definitely pushing away the folks you need to be able to win in four years. Again, though, keep this nonsense up and you'll get the world another four years of Trump. And then you can be shocked all over again.
What's interesting is that you NEVER see this gambit in reverse. Has anyone who leaned conservative ever looked at far-right conservatives and said, "Look you guys keep understating how serious a problem racism is. I think racism is bad, so you're going to lose me and I'll be voting for Al Sharpton next election."

IF they threaten to abandon Republicans (lol), they say they won't vote or they'll vote Libertarian.

And isn't it better to overpolice racism than to underpolice it? If you make a mistake wouldn't you rather hurt an innocent someone's feelings than have another person suffer through some sort of discrimination or oppression?

Oooh, maybe we could adopt a Sklansky idea and compensate people who are wrongly accused of racism?

"Sorry we overreached on the white power hand signal thing. To compensate you for your damages here's a 20% off coupon for Bed Bath & Beyond. (Yeah, it's expired, but they usually take them anyway.)"

I'm sure we'll find her body soon given his incompetence in hiding secrets.

And another thing about General Tsao's response: liberals itt were clowning on suzzer. So I guess you won't vote Trump now?
02-22-2017 , 12:09 PM
Amazing how every Sklansky see how smart I am post is a thinly veiled right wing talking point

Well information is available to a lot of people nowadays so you very likely have way more info than a ton of actual Americans and judging by your posts I think you do. You could also be a GermanGuy in the US! Oh the possibilities!

This is good stuff. It's truly incredible that some would choose an actual racist over people being a bit too PC or engaging in some silly hand signal debate. This isn't new for Republican voters though. Their coalition for a long time has included people who hate minorities and they have been fine with it as long as it won them elections.

First of all, Rand Paul does pander directly to white nationalists, regardless of what you may want to claim about his secret inner heart.

But second, peddling wild conspiracy theories undermines credibility? Huh, let's go live to the guy asserting that the myriad news media were systematically covering up the behavior of US troops in Iraq until yesterday:

haha I do have dual citizenship tho so I'm also European! Parents moved to the US when I was 7 and I have a great grandmother that was born in the US. When I created that nickname I was going through a phase where on vacation in Europe I could you know drink and party, etc. while here -21! Needless to say I felt more freedom at the time in Europe! Took some growing up and living in Europe in the last 6 years to realize how 'Murican I actually am/was and how much I missed it!

The one thing that anti-Trumpers have over pro-Trumpers is that we don't indulge in conspiracy theories. In other words, we live in the real world while most Trumpers live in a bubble of delusions created so they don't have to change their minds about anything. We lose the intellectual high-ground once we start believing in conspiracy theories.

We don't need to use this nonsense to destroy silly pro-Trump arguments. All we need are facts. No need to create strawmans when so many negative narratives already exist.

Can someone post the gif/youtube of Rand Paul running away from that dreamer so we can all have a good laugh at Tsao?

Tsao is, in a classic Tsao move here, like 3 months late to the idea "hey these liberals are mad about Trump winning... I know, I'll cagily convince them to stop talking about or mentioning racism by telling them that's why people voted Trump. But because I want to seem approachable, I'll also say I hate Trump and didn't vote for him? The perfect plan"
