We can take Trumps words as racist and authoritarian because he has a history.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

How bout an idiotic racist statement like....
Is that "democratic", or is it "authoritarian".The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

For Trump to use it and double down on it can really lead to no other conclusion.

The honorable Dr. Ben Carson defends Trump, says the President is not racist.

Trump got a nice 5-point boost after calling out "the squad" for their hateful, anti-American rhetoric.

Meanwhile, Omar says she has no regrets about making anti-Semitic comments.

"Go back where you came from" is a specific statement aimed at an individual or group that is deemed an "outsider."
This is an apples-to-oranges comparison.
You can address either to a group, a population, or an individual of any nationality or race.
I will assume you disagree and are incensed by my rude language, calling you stupid, and that this means you will no longer talk to me and I can have the last word, so no need to respond -- this can be the last word.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostThst cartoon is moronic. To criticize something you see wrong with our country is not anti-american, it is the exact opposite. It is THE reason we have the right to free speech. We are explicitly allowed the right to say whatever we like about our government. In fact, not only is Trump racist, he is creating an atmosphere in his attacks on the press and his attacks on these congressmen where he is trying to invoke hostility against institutions and people that use their fee speech right to call for change or to criticize his presidency.
Each day, one step lower.

Although I like how you defend the free speech rights of those who say vile things about America, but not the free speech rights of Trump who criticizes those women for the vile things they say.Last edited by shunyadragon; 07-17-2019, 01:31 PM.

In this case, Trumps attacks on these congresswomen has given them a pass on their bad policies by shifting focus away from their bad policies and onto Trump's racism.

There definitely constructive ways to criticize, but not with racist statements.
