Same here.

From a small rural town. I can remember maybe 1 racial incident in my time growing up. Never met a white supremacist either.

Heard talk of some folks like that, don't think they belonged to an official club or gang though. Regardless, they kept to themselves in their own little backwood areas, never really saw or heard much fuss out of them.

This idea that folks are waking up in the morning and thinking about how they can hate and or oppress minorities is largely exaggerated.

The only white anarchists that I see running around acting a fool and creating chaos on a large scale is Antifa...yet another example of a problem that liberal cities/states have that not so liberal areas don't have...
Dude, you never see Antifa without the presence of some white nationalist or racist group. Yes, they come in much larger numbers but to claim or imply that they are just randomly going around causing trouble is simply fiction.

You seem to want to give a pass to white nationalist groups because they are low in numbers but attack antifa who show up to meet them.
I don't like either but if I have to pick a side I'm going with those that don't claim one race is superior to another.

I have to chuckle at how wingnuts like to posture and put on how "they have the guns" and will kick the asses of "pussy liberals". You sound like the confederates before the Civil War...and we know how that turned out.

Nobody here has condoned any violence acted out by Antifa. But it's 2019 and racism and bigotry have no place in this world. Live your life how you like and let others do the same as long as part of that isn't trying to deny others those same rights. "Because you don't want to see it" isn't a valid answer.
 
In Aug 2011 the unemployment rate was still 9%. People that don't have jobs couldn't care less about the market. Let's see unemployment go to 9% and see how popular your boy is then.

Your problem is that at this point there is only one way for the economy to go. Trump's highest approval rating ever has been 46% and that was immediately after being sworn in. So he got elected by the skin of his teeth and his popularity and approval have fallen from there. Not a good formula.

But you go on living in your echo chamber thinking everything good with the orange clown.

Let me ask you this. With the obvious huge errors in polling data from the past presidential election. Why do you have faith in the accuracy of approval ratings for this president?

So true.
 
A s e ky retard. (Had to type that out. Never saw it spelled that way.)
You know I find it surprising how the word retard is used so freely on the thread. Don't get me wrong, you can't say anything to bother or offend me. But it is kind of sad you think it's ok to use. Makes you wonder if you talk like that in front of women or kids. Oh well whatever. Anonymous internet posts gives people courage to be theirselves.

Electoral College: Trump 306-232 is not by the skin of his teeth.
Actually it is because it doesn't take may votes to flip a state from one column to the other.
Change 0.223% of the votes in Michigan and Trump loses 16 EC votes
Change 0.718% of the votes in Pennsylvania and he loses 20 EC votes
Change 0.764% of the votes in Wisconsin and he loses 10 EC votes

Right there it's 260 - 278 Hillary.

FYI, third party candidates in Wisconsin got over 7% of the vote and over 5% of the vote in PA and MI.

My problem? I don't have a problem. I have a president who I generally agree with politically.

You, on the other hand, do not agree with the president. So it would appear that you have the problem. And IDGAS about your problem.
Generally? What do you disagree with?

What word would you retards prefer we use?
 
He won MI, PA, and WI by .23%, .72%, and .77% respectively. Those three go the opposite way and the election follows. Definitely qualifies as by skin of his teeth.

And without the google manipulation, illegal immigrant votes, and the dead, and the multiple votes Trump would have won the Electoral vote 538-0.

You cheaters.

The polls were well within the margin of error. In fact they were dead on with the popular vote. As I just posted a change of a fraction of a percent changes the outcome of the election. Nate Silver had put the odds at Trump winning at 30%...that's equivalent to being 4-5 pt underdog in football. That spread gets covered fairly often.

What makes you think that living in the middle of a solid red state that you get a true sense of what the nation thinks?

Antifa most always shows up to confront these racist groups—who usually have legal permits to be there, whereas antifa does not. if antifa would just stay away and ignore these assholes no one would hardly notice them ever being there.
And by the way “white nationalist” is a made-up term created by you leftist anti-american democrats/socialists/communists to paint everyone who is white and a patriot as a racist.
I am a nationalist. i am white. i have always been america first.

Here is Webster's definition:
White nationalism is a type of nationalism or pan-nationalism which espouses the belief that white people are a race and seeks to develop and maintain a white national identity. Its proponents identify with and are attached to the concept of a white nation.

Now you can say you learned something today.

Quick question. You said earlier you grew up a Democrat. Have you switched registrations by this point or have you not bothered? And I'm going to assume you live in KY.

With city officials having promised ahead of the events that officers would stop any fighting, Portland Police said more than 1,200 people showed up to the protests, and they have made 13 arrests so far. Around 4:35 p.m., Portland Police declared the protests in the area to be a civil disturbance and ordered people to leave.

According to the article most of the Proud Boys were gone by noon. If that was their purpose, to counter protest the “bigotry” and “racism”, why continue the violence for hours on end after they left?

ANTIFA has a right to say what they will, as does any other group whether you like it or not. But once you physically attack someone, that’s assault and a whole different ball game.

Protesters also taunted police, with some calling African American officers "Uncle Tom" and shouting, "Where's your cabin?"

That’s what some ANTIFA members said to black police officers trying to keep peace... but you know, fight the racism.

Also, the Proud Boys were there protesting domestic terrorism. Why would anyone counter protest that? Oh and that group isn’t solely white btw, so it’s going to be hard to claim white supremacy on that one.

White A member of a racial group having light-colored skin, especially when of European origin and in some classifications also when of Middle Eastern or North African origin.
. Nationalist The belief that nations will benefit from acting independently rather than collectively, emphasizing national rather than international goals.

...As i said, made up term.
