(35,746 posts)In racial relations. Look at the expression on his face after the person says "shoot them." And look at the expressions on the people surrounding him, a collection of blondes. At first it's a bit of a surprise but then after he says the panhandle remark, they smile, guiltily. One toward the Front actually claps. So yeah, they'd like to kill immigrants. They know they shouldn't, but they do think that's the solution.

(520 posts)A Nazi from Dallas drove nine hours to try and prove him wrong. There may not be a correlation with Trump rallies, but there's likely a correlation with Trump supporters.

(15,662 posts)in 2019 alone -- all under this sorry excuse for a human being's (and the GOP Senate's, I might add) watch. These people need to be held accountable as accomplices in my opinion. They are accomplices to murder and domestic terrorism ... not christians.

(15,662 posts)All you have to do is show the clearly demonstrable record: public statements made by the POS and Rs, campaign contributions by the NRA, coordination and campaign contribution laundering between the NRA and Russia, etc., etc.
I hope that a few courageous Democrats start making that case and promising to hold these people accountable when we take back the WH and Senate; and if we don't achieve that soon, by leading and catalyzing mass protests against this illegal, corrupt and immoral faux christian, fascist, white supremacist government.

(20,006 posts)Telling them that only in the Panhandle are they smart enough to do the "right" thing. (Of course they're smarter because they voted for and continue to support him.)
INdemo
(6,994 posts)so are you defending Trump and his supporters? Really it does sound as if you are saying only in the panhandle are Trump supporters smart enough to know better than to commit murder? That is not what he said.
You really appear to be a Trump supporter defending him as someone like Graham would do.
moondust
(20,006 posts)I'm offering a version of the interaction. Trumpism runs on flattery. How in the world you could ever interpret that as me somehow being a Trump supporter is incomprehensible. I'll just go ahead and put you on ignore for potentially being a Trump supporter yourself trying to deflect and/or not understanding much about the give-and-take of Trumpism.
