I am sick and tired of being called a racist by the race baiting left. Show me the "N" word, or other direct derogatory term. Creating racial discord for words like invasion, illegal immigrates, Muslims (not a race, it is a religion), etc. is just race baiting.
And white nationalists. OK, they exist, but I do not ever remember meeting any. All the Trump supporters I know are good decent Americans.
So I hope Trump remains "unpresidential" and specifically calls out the race baiting Anti-American Democrat presidential candidates as such.
While I understand the red flag issue, who defines it? Will veterans like me be on it just because we are veterans?
And more so, how can you be prosecuted in American with what you think? Who is the God that defines good and bad thought? It is not the US Government.
So
Many of us share your sentiments.
In a big way.
"Aw, come on! In those rare occasions where the main stream media throws you a tough question, you hide behind the race card and scream "Racist!" at every turn. Frankly, you've worn that card so thin you can no longer hide behind it. Quit running away and answer the damn question!"
It's time for the GOP to grow a pair.
I am very fed up with the name calling.
Agreed. I think this is going to actually increase turnout for Trump. Lots of folks are sick of this. People who aren’t political junkies are getting tired of it.
As I posted on another thread:
Like everything else they’ve touched, they destroy. Their word use is no different.
The word “racism” has been destroyed by em....it now means nothing....zilch.
They’ve done the same with the “N” word, the “F” word, “nazi”, etc.
These words now mean nothing. They’re just “filler words” like “ahh”, “errr”, “uhh”, etc. Zilch...no meaning. WE no longer need to fear their “words”.
Pretty soon it’s gonna be illegal to sell white paint. Or drive a white truck. Or buy a white shirt. Or for whites to own a farm or business. They are just getting started.
Both of our political parties can disappear right now for all I care.
We don’t need any of these people for anything at all.
It’s time for the GOP to call the Dems out on this.

I think that they do. I think that many people do. Every time it happens.
But it falls into a void.
While the media monopoly exists, they can control the message. There are alternatives, but the Americans who get their news from the full spectrum of conspirators, all the way from MSNBC and the NYT to the nightly news casts, they will never hear challenges to the manipulative information that they receive.
This is exxacerbated by big tech, particularly google and twitter. the MSM knows that the internet is a great end-around to their monopolization on the narrative, and they are fighting a big war to exert leftist control over those tech companies. They are winning that war, and at least half of this country think that Trump and Trump supporters are white nationalists.
We need something bigger.
There NEEDs to be a way to put as big a spotlight as possible on the subtle but sinister way that the media conspires to harm this country. They legitimately think they are fighting the good fight going after Trump this way, and they refuse to see what they are doing to this nation.
Thank you! So sick and tired of seeing everything “racist” associated with Trump, me, and anyone who supports him and America. THEY need to point out exactly what they perceive as “racist” because I guarantee most all leftists only listen to someone’s interpretations and not actually read it for themselves. Their relentless name-calling seems so desperate.
This is probably a futile idea... but....
maybe we need to start being more active at pressuring the MSM. We need to demand that they provide examples of the ACTUAL RACISM, whenever they choose to label someone or something as racist.
We need to demand that they tell us why (for example,) having millions and millions of illegal immigrants in the US is a good thing. They need to answer (doing my best Tucker Carlson) (1) what is the right number of illegals to be here? (2) what is the right amount of “stuff” we should provide for free to the illegals? (3) how much of the income and tax dollars of the average hard-working, tax-paying American citizen is the right amount to take away to use to pay for illegals? And so on...
I am probably just dreamin’ that we could have an impact on the narrative, but offering this as one idea.
Some months ago, I wrote to out local ABC and NBC stations and told them to quit calling it “Trump’s wall”, and said that the wall would protect ALL OF US.
I am a little riled up this morning, after seeing a blog that I sometimes read, with a huge, long rant... by what I thought was a nice lady, mirroring the left and MSM talking points... Among her comments was something about people being detained in cages at the border “... just because of the color of their skin....”. UGGH
It sure feels like a losing battle many days.
Racism is the result of a collectivist deterministic mentality. This is the mentality of letardism. Value creators and value producers wish to create values for everyone and so are are not racist. The value destroyers and value usurpers of leftardism have the mentality to divide people into groups to take from and give to.
I agree 100%. You said this:
We need something bigger.
There NEEDs to be a way to put as big a spotlight as possible on the subtle but sinister way that the media conspires to harm this country. They legitimately think they are fighting the good fight going after Trump this way, and they refuse to see what they are doing to this nation.
Tell me - have YOU ever met a ‘white nationalist’?
You’re falling for liberal BS by putting that comment in your screed...
So tell me, in YOUR off-line life HAVE YOU KNOWN EVEN ONE WHITE NATIONALIST?
Democrats are known for seeding the internet with fake ‘hate crimes’ and racist language. It’s how they fund raise. So, again HAVE YOU MET A WHITE NATIONALIST IN YOUR REAL OFF LINE LIFE? EVEN ONE?
I DOUBT IT.
Democrats are pitting racial groups against each other... watch carefully about picking up their lies.
No growing up I knew a bunch of racists, usually from my Democrat voting family that used terms like bugs, N****, etc
However, that was the “greatest generation”. I also met several racists in the military, and tried to avoid them. But I can truthfully say I had not interacted with any of the them is the past 20 years.
You're missing the point completely. It doesn't matter that I haven't met one. The point is the GOP isn't doing anything to counter the false narrative. Simply pointing out what's happening doesn't mean I'm "falling for liberal BS". Fire up a couple of neurons and you'll realize that calling attention to the false narrative is better than accusing the person who does call attention to it of being stupid.
I’ve never met a white nationalist, though I’ve met people who would prefer the US remain majority white. Is that a “white nationalist”? Some say all the nonwhites flooding into white countries must be white nationalists because they obviously prefer to live among whites.
I’ve never met a white supremacist, either. Most whites do not want to be “supreme” over anybody. Usually they just want to be left alone.
All I did was do my research about these groups.
No calm down PLEASE.
Correction: Now calm down PLEASE.
I have no doubt you are 100% correct.
Prepare accordingly.
