Chicago Chases Trump Away

[Benvolio]

You were just saying the charity and justice was a form of racism. Who's being dishonest?
Are you trying to shut down your own dissenters now?

You lie. I said no such thing.

 

[nauset]

My point is the protesters against Trump are just as looney as Rahm, a bunch left wing liberals who want everything for free and not work for it. The Democrats are ruining this country with their idiotic policies that destroy everything. The country is fed up and Trump will be President. Really,if the choice comes down to it between Hillary or Donald are you really going to argue she is the better candidate. Wake up.

In its hayday, when it was large with political power, the KKK and the south were almost 100% democrat. Now that it is a tiny tiny vestige of its former self, if it exists at all. the democrats CLAIM the KKK members are Republican. More likely they are still democrats trying to embarrass the republicans.

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and spews racist bile, it's probably a duck.

The KKK was embraced by the Republican Party under the Southern Strategy. Explain how democrat voters voted in the first black president otherwise... Say, are you still calling him Hussein?

Memory a little patchy? I reviewed and stand by that.

That is another lie. KKK has never been embraced by the Republican Party. And yes Hussein is pro Muslim. As rev Wright said, he was "steeped in Islam".

So what was the point of the Southern Strategy? Protecting African Americans from racist southerners?

And of course you're calling your president Hussein, as though he's related to Saddam in some kind of misguided, childish manner. Trying to pretend you're not racist when blaming immigrants for everything and saying your president is some part of a Muslim plot isn't dishonest. It's hilarious.

Easy with the KKK analogies. Let's not forget those that enslaved black people identified as democrats back in the day.

The number one issue of this election whether you agree or not is the 18 trillion dollar deficit. It was 10 trillion when Obama took office. A business man should be able to cut that down. If Hillary takes office with the democrats, does anyone actually think that it will go down? If it doesn't, I'm honestly scared of the country collapsing. A 3rd of the annual revenue will just got to interest repayment if the debt keeps rising. Can you imagine if a 3rd of your individual income went to paying interest on your own credit cards? Your life would be chaos.

That is why as a person who is sort of Liberal, I would still vote for Donald Trump this time around purely based on economic grounds.

Chicago, of course, is not a democracy. It is a one party pretended democracy. They go through the motions but the mob/machine controls the elections. No Republican has been mayor since the 30s.
Liberals, like other marxists, are intolerant of other opinions. It is they who most resemble the fascists, and we can expect them to hold book burnings and their own version of crystal night, soon.
What is truly bizarre is that Roly85, an immigrant, feels patriotism for the first time when Americans are silenced and shut down, and joins in telling Americans to "go away, you are not wanted here."

Get a life.

A moldy pizza is a better candidate than trump.

Hell, a moldy slice of pizza is a better candidate than Trump. We wouldn't even need the whole pizza.

This is so stupid.

Seriously.

Trump a businessman? His businesses have gone bankrupt so many times it isn't funny.

Which is what I expect he'd threaten to do if the interest on the debt wasn't reduced or wiped out. Which would ruin the US.

The President doesn't control the budget and spending. The Legislature controls it. Under BushCo. they authorized the tax breaks for the rich and the profligate spending on the military that is the real cause of the financial problems in the US today. You think that Trump is going to jack his tax rate? You think that he's going to do anything about the bloated military spending.

Get real.

And always remember that the last balanced budget was under Clinton, but that Obama has come the closest since.

Republicans like Reagan and the Bush Boys are the ones that oversaw reckless deficit growth in order to play war or to dabble with failed economic 'trickl down' policies.

Since when is disagreeing with you anti-American?

If anything, it's more American.

No, the guy who praises uneducated voters, accepts endorsement from KKK, has never actually been in politics and instigates violence against anyone who disagrees with him is totes better.

So silly--and the republicans used to be cool on lot's of levels--race, environment, freedom---that was a long time ago before they became the fascist group they are. Those dems all became republicans a long time ago and still are today.

Chicago has many problems far beyond the Trump rally

A mayor who has lied to the people who elected him - who oversees a police dept. that is corrupt AND treats blacks like 2nd class citizens

the "protestors" while many of whom may have had noble or just thoughts and exercising their rights

far more of them were not - and their successful attempt to silence Trump isn't really something to be proud of - or seen as a good thing for America or our rights

 

[Alnitak]

You are absolutely wrong. Americans are guaranteed by the First Amendment, the rights to freedom of speech and "of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for redress of grievances."
Trump and his followers were totally in their rights and you were entirely wrong to "shut him down", "he is not welcome here", "get the fuck out" and "we will make sure he doesn't get to speak here ever". Your shameful, shameful words.
I do have you on ignore but seeing your repulsive headline, I felt compelled to look. Your shameful anti Americanism confirms the reasons I ignore you.

At what point should Hitler have been stopped?

I'm sorry you think that people rising up against fascism is a bad thing.

 

[BenDan]

There's many different ways and reasons to attack Trump:

His lack of experience
His lack of cogent details on how he would do xyz
His bringing down the level of discourse - Republican debates IMO due to his inclusion have until the most recent one, been short on actual political discussion and long on insults and wise cracks

That said, I still find him infinitely a better choice for Republicans than Cruz - IMO Kasich would be their best candidate and as a gay man who cares more about the country than just LGBT issues, Cruz and Rubio are scary choices. Trump if elected would govern in the middle - he has not true ideology.

the attempted comparison of Trump to Hitler is outrageous IMO and diminishes the REAL murder of millions of Jews

it is akin to those who cry sexism and racism at the drop of a hat and is like screaming fire in a crowded movie theater when there is none

Chicagoans did not do themselves a service with this - you may not like Trump but you want him to have freedom of speech

It's coming from the survivors themselves.

“If Donald Trump become the next president of the U.S. it would be a complete disaster,” author and Auschwitz survivor Eva Schloss states in a recent Newsweek op-ed marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Pointing to his promises to close the borders to Muslims and Mexicans, the 86-year-old Schloss, who is the stepsister of Anne Frank, sees disturbing parallels between the Republican frontrunner and a dangerous historical predecessor.

Anne Frank's Stepsister: Trump 'Is Acting Like Hitler': Holocaust Survivors Warn of Historical Parallels

“As a Jew who survived the Holocaust, to see an audience of thousands of people raising their hands in what looks like the ‘Heil Hitler’ salute is about as offensive, obnoxious and disgusting as anything I thought I would ever witness in the United States of America,” said Foxman, who was born in Poland in 1940 and was saved from the Nazis by his Catholic nanny.

Holocaust survivor slams Trump’s ‘Heil Hitler’ salute: ‘He’s asking them to swear allegiance to him’

International Holocaust Remembrance Day is always a somber time for Auschwitz survivor Irene Weiss but this year even more so she told Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank.

“I am exceptionally concerned about demagogues,” the 85-year-old Weiss said. “They touch me in a place that I remember. I know their influence and, unfortunately, I know how receptive audiences are to demagogues and what it leads to.”

Donald Trump reminds Holocaust survivors of Adolf Hitler

Trump's campaign has many of the similarities to the Nazi Party in the early 1920s, when no one not even Hitler and his followers had an idea of what they would be doing in 20 years.

Trump’s not Hitler, he’s Mussolini: How GOP anti-intellectualism created a modern fascist movement in America

I've been pointing out the similarities between Drumpf and il Duce for months now.

Other people are noticing as well, now.

Like Mussolini, Trump rails against intruders (Mexicans) and enemies (Muslims), mocks those perceived as weak, encourages a violent reckoning with those his followers perceive as the enemy within (the roughing up of protesters at his rallies), flouts the rules of civil political discourse (the Megyn Kelly menstruation spat), and promises to restore the nation to its greatness not by a series of policies, but by the force of his own personality (“I will be great for” fill in the blank).

To quote Paxton again, this time from his seminal “The Anatomy of Fascism”: “Fascist leaders made no secret of having no program.” This explains why Trump supporters are not bothered by his ideological malleability and policy contradictions: He was pro-choice before he was pro-life; donated to politicians while now he rails against that practice; married three times and now embraces evangelical Christianity; is the embodiment of capitalism and yet promises to crack down on free trade. In the words of the Italian writer Umberto Eco, fascism was “a beehive of contradictions.” It bears noting that Mussolini was a socialist unionizer before becoming a fascist union buster, a journalist before cracking down on free press, a republican before becoming a monarchist.
