You were eviscerating JIB in that other thread with reality and common sense.  And now you're just trying to win this argument with generalities while I've given you facts?  

 

tsk, tsk, tsk...

 

I know you can do better than this.  But, at the very least, if you know you've lost the argument, just let it go.  Flailing around and not really providing a real response is not a good look.

 

Again, I've pointed out why I fear trump.  Which is different than the fear mongering that trump sells to his racist cohort.

 

 You have done nothing to dispute my assertion.  All you have done is merely try and flip the argument to say that my fears are the same as the racists fears.  Which would mean that I hate trump because I hate the race trump is.  Which obviously isn't the case.  

 

Also, Trump's policies are based on bigotry.  Do you believe that the Wall and his deportation policies are not based on culture/race/religion?  I mean, really?  

If those that realize that Trump is a bigot are wrong, prove it.  I'll point it out again.  I'm afraid of trump.  I'm not afraid of Mexicans, or Muslims, or Black Lives Matter, or Jews, or any political group in or outside the USA .  I don't respond to fear mongering of classes or races or religions or cultures...

 

You've proven in another thread that you understand these nuances.  For you to pretend you don't get it now is a keen tactic.  But I now know you are smart enough to figure out these differences.  So for you to pretend I've fallen into a "fear" tactic based on my hatred of trump's race/religion/ethnicity is beneath you. My fear is the same as all Americans that fears authoritarian control of the government by a megalomaniac which will destroy the freedom of all of us.

 

You realize there's a difference between fear of a megalomaniac and the fear of the "dark skins" taking over our country, right?  

 

Trump = megolomaniac (I fear authoritarian rule)

Immigrants, Mexicans, Jews, Muslims, China = The problem that needs to be fixed to MAGA (Fear mongering by trump to make bigots vote for him)

 

So yeah...  Kinda different.  But you know this.  You can't play dumb with me anymore.  Like I said, you've pointed out in that other thread about the racist "lawyer" that you get the difference.  If you want to vote for trump because you think it'll reset the system, fine.  But don't try to pretend that Trump and the fear of trump are similar.  They clearly are not.
