Rejecting words and actions which perpetrate, support or encourage white supremacists

They do believe we can boss everyone around, it's a reason why a bombed out and depleted world post WW2 is pointed to as the last time America was great. Pretty easy to dictate when everywhere else in the world is destroyed. However a couple of decades have passed and globalization is a real thing.

Thanks for making China prosperous and an even greater threat Bill Clinton.
 
I'm not convinced they really have any beliefs. The alt-right people I know don't give a crap about whether or not Trump actually does what he said he was going to do, or who he appoints to his cabinet. They just trust that everything he does is the correct thing to do in order to MAGA.
.

This is what is baffling. How long have they not really had any beliefs? What, then, has kept them with the Republican Party?

In the early 2000s, the conservative message was heavy on patriotism, steadfast principles, Christian family values, and strong military. Fear drove the patriotism and push for military intervention.

We first saw a break in the message in 2004 with the swift boaters and conservatives attacking John Kerry's military service. Flip-flopping on issues was a major point of attack for Republicans.

In 2008, Republicans fall in love with brash Sarah Palin. Unconventional discourse entered high levels of politics.

In 2010, we see the rise of the Tea Party which touted fear-based uber-patriotism and purist, rigid principles. The "respect the POTUS" calls for GWB fly out the window as false, hateful rhetoric surrounding Obama become mainstream.

In 2012, Mitt Romney takes the party's nomination. More of a traditional candidate, he still is a Mormon. After the loss, the party's self-diagnosis shows constructive promise, but the hateful, fear-based rhetoric and obstructionism was an easier path following the power-swell that resulted from the 2010 gerrymandering.

By 2016, any sliver of the purist, rigid principles had disappeared. Republicans embraced the ultimate flip-flopping candidate with no record of holding family values or conservative principles. He is a former Democrat (gasp) who only sees the Christian tradition as a vehicle to promote himself. Prevalent throughout Donald Trump's message is a heavy dose of fear underlying every facet of his message.

Darth Vader has denied being ‘Dark Lord of the Sith’ and said he self-identifies as a leading light of the Alt-Jedi movement today.

The Alt-Jedi are best known for rejecting mainstream Jediism in favour of provocative behaviour designed to outrage the consensus, such as force-choking people and destroying worlds in colossal gouts of laser fire.

Many younglings are drawn to the Alt-Jedi because it promises fun, transgression, a challenge to social norms, and the full power of the Dark Side of the Force.

Vader is believed to have become associated with the movement after losing his only girlfriend and realising he was too ugly both inside and out ever to get another.

“I find your lack of a pair disturbing,” Vader told us. “The snowflake is strong in you.

“Give into your hate. Let the anger flow through you. Only then can you know the true nature of Pepe the Frog memes.

“You rebel cucks,” he added.

Vader’s children have distanced themselves from their father, describing him as a bit of a sorry loser and saying they won’t have anything to do with him until he grows out of it.

“It’s just a midlife crisis,” said Leia Organa.

“All that wearing black, saying outrageous stuff and driving around in a brand new TiE interceptor.

“It’s a bit sad, really. We can’t wait until he just buys a sweater and gets into gardening like all the other dads.

“I’ll tell you what, no son of mine will turn out like that.”
 
Donald Trump's NY campaign co-chair's wishlist for 2016.

DEVELOPER, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER, POLITICAL ACTIVIST

1. Obama catches mad cow disease after being caught having relations with a Herford. He dies before his trial and is buried in a cow pasture next to Valerie Jarret, who died weeks prior, after being convicted of sedition and treason, when a Jihady cell mate mistook her for being a nice person and decapitated her.

2. Michelle Obama. I’d like her to return to being a male and let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortably in a cave with Maxie, the gorilla.

3. Someone with a brain, a set of balls and a lack of fear who has enough money so as not to owe anyone anything once elected and who believes in a market economy.

4. We need a $50 million dollar train station as much as we need parasitic people like Lou Ciminelli, 80% of the school board and the dizziness of socialistic progressive politicians who never signed the front of a paycheck. At best 400 people a day take a train. They are not complaining about exchange or Depew. We are already the laughingstock of America for having the dumbest elected leaders ever. Why add to it.

This is dumb. You don't acquire Mad Cow disease by having sex with cows and gorillas don't live in caves. SMH. Some people are so uninformed.

The Outback also isn't in Zimbabwe.
 
This made my day already.

For those who don't follow Twitter, Bill Mitchell was one of Trump's biggest apologists during the election on anything and everything. I still don't really even know what the guy does (conservative talk show host?) but he managed to get on everyone's twitter feed several times a day.

He has never managed to get on my twitter feed. I feel like a lot of board liberals are on government watch lists with the alt-right sites you read
 
People who are delusional enough to think the economy got worse over the last 8 years are delusional enough to think the economy is better under Trump even if it isn't.

I think this post represents a key disconnect today. You simply dismiss the people who think the economy didn't improve as delusional rubes, without thinking about why they might view the economy as worse.

While the national economy is better, mostly for the upper class, many regional and class economies have remained stagnant or have gotten worse under Obama. When people answer that the economy is worse, they are not talking about the US economy as a whole, but the economy from there perspective on life.

NE Deac spends a lot of time in places most of us would not think to look. Interesting.

No shit. I think they're rubes because they expect Republicans to change that even though that's what Republicans want gains to be centralized in the upper class. These are also bigger issues with our economy that a President can't change.

Under Obama or under pub/obstruction congress? Serious question. If it is better for the wealthy and worse for lower Econ groups, then who shoulders the blame? What economic levers were pulled over the past eight years, and who pulled them or prevented them from being pulled?
 
The national economy improved, but regional economies were stagnant, you say? Which regions? Which party was in control of those regions?
 
Yep. There are people suffering economically in areas in which the mayors, town councils, county commissioners, chambers of commerce, state legislators, representatives, governors, and Senates are Republicans. Yet those people blame Obama for their economic woes.

presidents always get too much credit or blame for the economy
