My thoughts exactly. On that note, in case you weren’t aware, Gutter thinks that DJT is a horrible human being and shouldn’t be POTUS.

I'm looking more toward party leaders...Trump specifically. That's where the misunderstanding comes in. DJT is not a Conservative and he has never claimed any desire to be a part of the party leadership. He is an outlier who, when put up against the Devil herself, looked like the best option in 201...

I think the goal should have always been, if you reform, you're welcome. That's a very binary solution to a complex problem. When two parties are competing for a finite number of votes, telling people they are outright not welcome is giving their vote to the other side. Racism, and the ideals of th...

I’d argue conservatives have embraced the knuckleheads since the “southern strategy,” when republicans tried to win over racist voters by advancing an anti-civil rights platform and framing it as “state’s rights.” If "embrace" is defined as "not outright condemning and alienating,&qu...

By not distancing the core from the fringe, they do a disservice. If you don't want to condemn, it should be made more clear that the majority don't share those ideals. Is the media responsible? partly. But so is the movement itself. Under DJT it seems like what used to be fringe are pretty comfort...

At its heart, the conservative movement is about maximizing individual freedom and opportunity, but some people choose to focus on a small group of knuckleheads and overgrown adolescents who ruin it for everyone else by waving Confederate flags, brandishing firearms for no apparent reason, and gene...

I agree with the paragraph, but would add that the Conservatives have had ample opportunity to condemn those knuckleheads and have not only not done a good job of distancing themselves from them, but I think an argument can be made that they've embraced them in the Trump era. And that's where they ...

I think there's a few posters here who won't admit it outright but do think that one race is superior to the other - maybe not physiologically ( possibly ) but culturally/socially. That's a very broad statement. What evidence - statements, actions, etc. - can you provide to back that up? I'll keep ...

For sure. The protests aren't random. Certainly there are a number of people at the protests who a. are using it as a means to commit crime b. using it as a means just to be angry at the government without clear reasoning and c. people who want to get social media praise/props but at it's heart, it...

I guess an allegation of racism can be used as some counter point to refute an argument. But it can also be used as some cop out to avoid addressing the issue at hand. If someone says something that could be racist, and someone else calls them out as racist, it doesn’t negate the issue of racism to...

Lulz. Not everything is racism. There are some on here who ironically see it whenever it is convenient for them. It's much easier to dismiss someone as "racist" than to really consider a criticism that is uncomfortable, yet might some truth to it. I used to do this years ago when people w...

Interesting that in these BLM protests that you immediately think of a white guy and then come up with his ludicrous connection/complaints rather than, say, a black guy who has maybe a more realistic connection/complaint. I was thinking of the people I am specifically complaining about. Those who a...

If by turning into Seahawk you mean my pointing out to Walrus that he calls people who "protest" "idiots" but to the best of my knowledge doesn't ridicule the people in places such as Lake of the Ozarks - then I am happy to have turned in to Seahawk. Shame more people don't. Lul...

Specifically how much more did you hope from him? The first time you voted for him, how did you expect he would handle himself? If you admit you’re disappointed in the job he’s done, how does that make you feel about the folks who tried to tell you he was bad news all along? (Bonus points if you ca...

Trump’s not my messiah. I’m sorely disappointed in the job he has done and how he has handled himself. I’m glad we avoided four years of Dowdy, but I hoped for much more from him. I think the turnout in Tulsa is a reflection of that sentiment. Specifically how much more did you hope from him? The f...

He’s got a list; here’s the order of the list that it’s in . . .

He knows the subject. The economy must be opened up. It’s just the flu. Only the old and infirm can become ill. Well, he’s only a couple of hours from his hero. Scared, he wants to shelter-in-place behind his keyboard on a Saturday night in a no stoplight town. Tough guy. I live in town. A protest ...

That's what happens when idiots protest. Is there a reason why you continue to ONLY single out and blame protesters? I don't doubt that the virus is being spread at protests but I think it's moronic to not include the "idiots" who are congregating in other social settings. I was one of th...
