Err.. it's anti-Trumpers here that are abusing, belittling and offending. Look where the namecalling and abuse comes from. It's you - Dutchy, Seabass - and some others occasionally, You and some others just think anyone who disagrees with you are committing abuse and offense and belittling you.

Re: Political Attacks on Trump Supporters
Typical Democrat - man of the people -- champion of the common person -- the poor - the downtrodden - the blue collar....
I wonder where anyone gets the idea that democrats are hypocrite elitists?
Go back to your trailer and ciggies and beer, o' great unwashed masses! Get back to your guns and religion, o' deplorable xenophobes, homophobes, islamaphobes and transphobes! Why don't you want to vote for Democrats, anyway? You're voting against your own interests!

We don't need to like the working classes, we just need to point out we GIVE STUFF, like education and healthcare, whereas Trump will just make you work as a slave at Wal Mart and die at 55.

Re: Political Attacks on Trump Supporters
I'm pretty rigorous in my application of the term. I basically agree with you - bandying "Nazi" about willy-nilly reduces it's impact and relevance when it comes to identifying and highlighting the hateful bigotry of real fascists.Forty Two wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2019 10:05 amDude, nobody says you have to "sit down" with anyone and calmly discuss anything with them.Brian Peacock wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2019 6:02 amNo Jim. To be fair and balanced you must sit down with Nazis, white supremacists, and other hateful bigots and discuss their point of view calmly and rationally in order to better understand it, preferably over tea and crumpets.
The problem is that people who aren't Nazis get labeled that, because that's the strategy of the left -- demonize their opposition - you call a Trump supporter a "Nazi" - then you get to punch and beat him, and smash his car - he's a Nazi after all. You don't peacefully protest Nazis, you should kill them, but failing that, at least beat them.
And, if you think the progressive left is going to win the battle of violence - think again. Remember, this isn't a one-way street. If some blue haired "Trump is not my President" trans-fluid tough guy starts beating Trump supporters under the rubric that they are "Nazis" then you're going to get, eventually, some who aren't going to take that shit lying down. Who do you think will win these street fights?
That's the problem here - is that you don't get to sit unmolested, blithely declaring who is a Nazi and who isn't - and throw the needed punches, set the needed fires, and smash the needed taillights. Once you do that, you are a violent thug, and people get to defend themselves and others against you.
And, if you get to declare this or that conservative to be "Nazis" and then punch them, then they will start to likewise declare your side another form of persona non grata - communist, socialist, anarchist - all quite punchable. Oh, you don't think there are any real communists? Well, who gave you the sole right to determine who are punchable Nazis, but others don't have the same right to declare folks to be punchable communists?
Are you going to rely on the police to be Progressive and side with your good guys?

So Trump will give front page interviews with far right publications which sport Nazis?
