Trump is the enemy of the people, all of the people; he is without ethics or scruple; lacking any compass whatsoever that points to the good, he cannot accomplish any. He is evil loose on a scale not seen since Hitler, Stalin, Mao. Most of us (white Americans) suppose we're not in his crosshairs, but we are mistaken in thinking so. His evil touches everybody directly or indirectly. — tim wood
Democrats bear significant responsibility for his election — fishfry
So, the Trump administration is pissed off at Trudeau but after reading 5 articles trying to divine what it was Trudeau said, I'm still non the wiser. Did anybody find out why? — Benkei
What's Trump ever done to you personally? — Buxtebuddha
Can't answer for Tim, but up here, Trump is literally trying to force me to drink more pus. — Akanthinos
I missed that in my local paper. 'Splain me please? — fishfry
A good part of the trade war issue rest on the fact that Canada runs dairies according to a supply chain management system — Akanthinos
I'm appalled that Trump has picked a fight with Canada — fishfry
Milk. Wish we had your problems. — Banno
Meh. Seems like it is his favourite negociation strategy. I imagine he thinks being unpredictable is a good thing. — Akanthinos
II love how the party of "personal responsibility" will point fingers at nearly everyone but themselves as the reason for "How We Got Trump". Conservatives vigorously accuse 'Social Justice Warriors', the 'miasma' of Political Correctness, or the wild idea that labeling someone a Nazi or Fascist or Racist, will transform them into a Nazi/Fascist/Racist. — Maw
As a far left progressive, I'm not a big proponent of the centrists Democrats or Hillary Clinton, but I'd greatly prefer them to the Republicans, whose 40+ years modus operandi have, much more than the Democrats, is responsible for the nomination of Trump, his Presidential win, and the incomprehensible fact that he enjoys a 85%+ approval rating by self-described Republicans. — Maw
Fishfry said nothing in his post to indicate that he was a Republican. On the contrary, his points were all in line with a far-left critique of the democratic party. So I find it concerning that you jump straight into attacking republicans, thus misrepresenting his points straight off as some sort of republican projection, — John Doe
If Trump is uniquely evil, what are the Democrats? — fishfry
As it happens, he has made my country worse. — tim wood
It's a defense of misdirection. In your case mindless incomprehension. — tim wood
He is a dangerously bad man. — tim wood
This is the second time in two days that Maw did the same thing — fishfry
we "Got Trump" because of liberals, whether it's due through the Democratic Party, or the concept of "Social Justice Warriors", or left-wing intellectual elitism, etc. — Maw
Multiple members, not just me, asked you to provide examples of this and you didn't. — Maw
... liberal self-flagellation ... — Maw
Last time I responded to you was actually five days ago, not two — Maw
And it is unequivocally not a critique in harmony with the Far Left. I know of no one on the Far Left who would claim that " the Democrats bear significant responsibility for his election", as if the Right is somehow absolved of agency. — Maw
And Hillary was a dangerously bad woman — fishfry
The day Hillary stood up on the floor of the US Senate and spoke passionately in favor of the Iraq war; the day Pelosi was briefed on torture and signed off; those are the datapoints on the road to Trump. — fishfry
